How far do you go to win?

Recently on All Chat, the hosts debated how far is “too far” in game, so we asked the Vine community to ‘fess up to lines they cross to win games. What do you think: BM or fair play? Check out some of the responses below and tell us about how far you’re willing to go to secure a victory!

Also, don't forget to check out last week’s All Chat episode to see if all is really fair in war. https://youtu.be/_hysehyOskM

Keys to winning:

  • Play a warm up game
  • play my mains but I pick according to what our team comp needs and who I am laning against
  • upgrade that trinket at lvl 9-11.. makes a huge difference.
  • know your aa reset skills.
  • know how to play every role so if someone is crying for my main role I just give it to them
  • lots of caffeine before a series so the reflexes are sharp
  • BM is going too far but baiting is fair game.

When playing seriously I main support and practice the "My body is your shield" style of play. Can't count the number of times I have jumped in front of body block-able ults for my team mates, personal favorite is when I as Leona pulled myself to the enemy support just to eat their Cait's ult aimed at my adc.

This article, re-titled for Bronze:

"How far do you go to chase a kill?"

Bronze scrubs: "I'll let my nexus die to superminions so I can chase Ahri through an unwarded jungle."

How far do I go to win? If an enemy is mad in all chat, I egg one side on so they fight and go on tilt worse than CLG after losing to KOO Tigers :).

...........? im confused or am i? in novermeber 2014 i was introducing to a game that changed my life...!!!! At first when i was losing i would exit the game angry and tell my team mates screw you..... but now no matter what no matter how hard i get crushed winning is easy when my team doesnt pay attention i do it for em when they have no plays i set up plays my kills used to be in the 3's my deaths in the 20-30's now after riot banned me for 2 weeks i contemplated to myself......... Karlos why do you engage in the Rift? for days i was mostly pissed at Riot but then one day it hit me...... Toxic+Negativity=Low Morale*Failed Objectives=Defeat i came up with my own equation for a defeat and to be honest it was real so i didnt find a equation for Victory but i did become Victorious i play smart i make plays i utilize my environment i push my champion to the limit i go the extra mile for "I HAVE A DREAM OF GOING PRO ONE DAY AND TODAY AND EVERY OTHER DAY IM GONNA CLIMB THE ELO ALL THE WAY TO CHALLENGER EVEN WHEN MY TEAMMATES FEED AND CURSE ILL ALWAYS BE SMILING ILL ALWAYS ASK THEM TO EXECUTE THE STRATEGY FOR FOR MONTHS NOW LEAGUE HAS BECOME PART OF MY LIFE AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE!!!" i ask my fellow summoners are you ready?

I start conversations with my lane opponent then all in them when they are typing back.... easy firstbloods

I die from warding #supportlife. I average 4 deaths per game by warding. The other 2 or 3 are from teamfights, and shit happens.

I like researching enemy teams before I play and I like doing things like camping the lane with the heaviest losing streaks or bad tilt history. I also will suggest our jungler camp for someone on our team that is on such a streak, to get those players to feel better and get their heads in the game.

I also totally trash talk mid-game. People died to me while ganking me, so I either traded or went positive? All chat "oh, ok" or "ty". Did I dodge a gank, or escape a sticky situation? "bye"

Anything that puts the enemy team on edge but isn't basically being toxic is fair game! Just gotta know where the line is.

I've been a support main for two years now, what do you think?

First, I befriend the many people in my town. After a couple of years of building up trust I make my appearance as disheveled as possible. I tell each person I've befriended one by one that I'm in hard times and I've lost my home. They feel so terrible that a good guy like me is having such a bad time that they loan me money. I use all the money to hire a hacker I found in a couple towns over- it's a shady business deal. I get stabbed by a mugger who steps out of the shadows. I limp away to home. I take the knife out of my leg in the bathroom and disinfect the wound. I put gauze over it and sit at my computer. I start a game. I don't make a move yet. I wait a bit to see who's the best player on their team. I order them to infect the person's computer. Their computer is in shambles, it may or may not run again. We win by a landslide. They blame their incompetent team member for losing the game. I tell the hacker to infect every other person's computer in the game before it ends. I destroy the nexus. There can only be one.

The keys for winning for me is just having fun. No matter what happens NO matter what happens just have fun. If you don't why did you just waste the day
