The Worst thing about League isn't the Game

It's the people. Seriously.

I'm reaching a breaking point where this game is becoming unfun to play even with friends, because pretty much everyone who plays this game has to get pulled into this really negative, hyper-critical attitude, even towards their own friends or invited party members.

I tell someone, "Hey I'm a bit tired, I may do badly, I'm sorry in advance". THey say "It's okay!"

Well 30 minutes later I'm getting fucking lectured about everything I did wrong.

Can we just get realistic and stop feeling entitled to effortless wins, please? That your fucking pre-made team is not there to purposefully ruin your game, or maybe even that the game doesn't just revolve around YOU?

You're going to lose games, and some games you're going to have to really fight for. There is no reason to act like a dick to people, anyone, let alone your friends!

I use the ignore command, it solves a lot of problems. You can accomplish this by click the blackened out mute button or typing "/ignore {name}".

I hope that helps! After all, what were you expecting from online chat?

And I'm sure a lot of players are tired of you wasting at least 30 mins of their life because you want to play shitty. Especially those players that might only get to play 1-2 games a week, and boom...their only games are ruined because someone wanted to go 0-15-2 because "lelz im tired".

Difference is they can't stop you from doing it. You, however, can be intelligent enough to use the mute button on the big bad toxic meany that told you to "please play safe" after your 3rd death in 2 mins.

I hope your friends find a better alternative to you.

And why is that? Because I think League shouldn't be different than anything else? Example: I played some college ball...if a teammate did something bad on purpose, they would get bitched at. Simple. On League, if someone tries to dick you on purpose, it's ok and if you say anything you're a toxic fuck. It's really amazing how thinned skinned the people are that play this game. I've literally been asked to be reported by saying things like, "please don't push your lane too far without wards. That's the reason you're being ganked a lot."

You get bitched at by your coach. I played in college too, and if you were always up somebody's ass then coach would light your ass up in the film room too, because youmost likely weren't all that. Those last two sentences though, I can agree you shouldn't be reported for. But this guy wasnt trolling or anything he simply didnt play great. He was tired, and his friends pushed him to play even though he said he was really tired. He didn't play well as a result. That is okay as long as he wasn't purposely trolling.

This 100% of what he's talking about. You could go 40-0 one match than get poor internet the next game and just do poorly and everyone will just shitstorm on you endlessly and even carry that shitstorm onward to future games they probably have with you. Nobody knows how to have fun in 90% of this community anymore.

While i do agree with you, that is basically the mentality people have with any type of competitive activity. Its a win-lost type of game. there has to be a winner and a loser. Because of that people no matter the mode, or reasoning are going to play to win. Honestly though it is your fault. if you were too tired to play why even start a match? Would you do the same in any other activity? You dont see people asking to play a sport then when they are losing claim they are too tired to play. its dumb. You can play this game any time of the day. If you are tired stop and rest/sleep. While i dont condone toxic behavior, you should have done the right thing and just not play.
