Sportsmanship and Admitting Your Faults
After a recent game as viktor I was assaulted by negative comments such as "Your horrible", "uninstall" etc etc. I understand that if you lose a game, part of the responsibility is yours and I understand that; however, this is no excuse for people to berate you about your skill.
I was perfectly fine until my jg lost all presence, bot and top fed, and team fights started happening. After that point I gave up lane and decided it was better to roam with my team, to keep team fights from being so disastrous. A long story short, we lost, and then came the trash talkers.
There is nothing I hate more, than when people are unsportsmanlike after or during a game. If you playing per say Annie against a yasou. First of all this is a terrible match up and the difference in skill to play is immense. If you are the annie, (champ with less skill) and you dominate, don't say the yasou is bad. The moment you start talking shit is when everyone starts to see you as a 10yr old kid excited that he got a kill. Not only should you realize that players take pride in there skill and by trash talking when you have no right too pisses off everyone in the game. To sum it up, don't do it.
If anything, praise the player at the end of the game for doing so well in such uneven circumstances or at the very least keep your mouth shut and say " GG Wp".
Also, being sportsmanlike applies in all aspects of the game. Just because someone is 0/2/0 doesn't mean there bad. KDA don't mean crap and neither does item standings, because those can change with the circumstance and do not reflect a players skill. It is entirely plausible that the enemy laner is much much better than you, and he's just getting bogged down by the circumstances of his teams performance.
Overal, if you don't have anything positive to say shut your mouth.
I've added a poll to see how many people actually give a crap about this. For my own amusement
