The Summoner's Code | League of Legends

Summoner code States - Being a good team player begins at champion select. Be open minded when considering the needs of your team. If you're the last one to pick, try to fill a niche in your team that hasn't already been filled. If everyone's picked and something stands out as a deficiency in your team composition, try asking for another player to fill the gap, or change roles to embrace that responsibility yourself. Remember, that by taking on a role you don't normally play, you'll learn more about unfamiliar champions and increase your own skill level.

I clearly see a major flaw in the system and would like to point it out 1 by 1!

Trolling - In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people.

I'm not saying that everyone is trolling but when you read the chat and it say's "Example" Kim: Mid Frank: Top Players : Duo bot

Then you have someone auto lock and will not respond to messages

This here is causing a quarrel... And I would like to see the terms of use Apply Trolling to the game. You have to have respect for your team mates and Auto locking and confusing everyone is honestly upsetting.

I have seen this happen multiple times on the other team where people even state they are not high enough level too jungle

Clearly the support could have taken smite and went jungle because I DID IT! then i got told because our Auto lock top, took our "Now supports roll" I was forced to jungle, with a support champion. I tried to do the right thing and apply this Summoner code to the game and all i got was BM and disrespect...

Who would I want to play a game if I can get trolled and then bm for trying to help being a nice person...

Summoner code states - Player feedback is an important force in the decision making process of Riot Games. If you want to make your voice heard, taking the time to let us know how you're feeling about the game is a good place to start. When you give feedback, make sure you take a holistic approach. If you only give negative feedback, you may find that the changes you influence detract from what you initially enjoyed. Moreover, people are simply more likely to listen if you present yourself in a calm, well thought out manner.

I cant give feedback to toxic players and when I get trolled by the players who auto lock, Then i get toxic players yelling at me for trying to help and make the game better.... I cant because Ill be breaking the summoner code here, what clearly they are as well.

The summoner code has a major flaw and it can contradict itself majorly with the effects of trolling....

Summoner code states - When you choose to participate in a discussion with the rest of the playerbase, always try to be receptive to another player's point of view. If you keep an open mind, you'd be surprised what valuable information you can glean from your fellow players. Also, be mindful of how you present your point of view. If a player feels strongly on a subject, don't get caught up trying to have the last word. Just state your side and exit the conversation gracefully rather than give them the opportunity to pick a fight.

Sadly I cant speak in a game of league because people will ether "Take offense, then report you" The Leave buster only will catch the slightest hospitality, I can clearly make my typing "Rude" without being rude, Its simple...

Yeah it's really out dated it's to vague for rules and because of that stuff like off meta gets called trolling, or champion banning on your team since that can actually be reported according to the summoner code.

Riot needs to make a new one that is clear and covers everything.

Summoner code states - Remember, taking a jab at your friend in the middle of the game is a lot different than making a glib remark at a complete stranger. Someone who is unfamiliar with what you consider playful may take your comment as an attack and react unfavorably. If two players on a team start fighting, good communication and teamwork become nearly impossible. Once communication breaks down, the likelihood of victory is drastically diminished. It isn't uncommon for simple, good natured teasing to spiral out of control into a loss, so do yourself a favor and don't run the risk of sabotaging your own success.

The summoner code is now looking on itself with a internet troll. Internet trolls TANK games everyday, and people like my friend who is silver 1 cant climb, anyone under silver is trolling because they dont care...

"I wish to play ranked someday but Im too scared to tank my elo because I get a team who dose not care if they rank up or play ranked for "Fun", ranked is there for players who want competition and level up in the ranked system".

If we get trolls who focus on the people who type, the game instantly tanks... Its because words hurt and I personally have only seen my friend getting in-trouble for just telling the other player "Play the game and please stop bm" I have been playing with my friend lately and his accounts on chat block from that message we play in the same room when he comes over and im shocked...

So troll won this summoner code this is clearly in their hands...

Ill write a Summoner code,

AntiTroll

As a team player you are agreeing to the terms of use and you are trying to make the game better for the whole team not just yourself. You are focusing on making sure your team needs help and respect them with their choices and decision making, Everyone has their own unique roll and yes it may be taken but this dose not mean you get to upset another player by taking their roll. Yes we all want to play TOP, Mid ect... But auto locking a roll should not be your course of action, the team needs help on the battle field so playing your favorite champion might not be what the team needs so to be a better player you must be focused and determined to be better, so for the players who are not really interested in bettering themselves or improving their game play, we suggest that you take a pass on ranked until you have the mentality that you would like to succeed in the ranked climb.

"Rules for ranked" Ranked is for players who wanted climb, if you are trying to become a better player ranked is for you.

Trolling is not allowed, Rules complete!

Blind pick is an instalock fest

No real way around it.

Lack of communication does not make something trolling. This literally isnt even what trolling is.

Real questions must be asked here. How can riot improve their quality of the game with this community?

We need to have a system to vote what is classified as Trolling.
Community must accept terms of use to prevent trolling and if they see a troll report them as soon as possible.
This must be a respectful and people who will not lie to set the voting.
STREAMERS ARE MAIN KEY! - if we think about it a streamer plays games 24/7 So they come across trolls constantly and can call them out as soon as possible. ask streamers what they think is trolling in league of legends.
