Finally a peaceful ending.

I just finished a ranked game. Our team completely dominated late game with a Ryze and Vayne. Normally, when teams get to the post match screen there is much arguing and blaming. Not this time. It was so nice to see BOTH teams congratulating each other on their achievements and giving tips to those who didn't do so well and everyone being so receptive and listening. In the end, the majority of the players for both teams got honors and I got to leave the post game screen with some new names in my Friends list. It was a pleasant surprise and I only hope that I can encounter more players like that in the future.

I have games like this all the time. From my experience people tend to forget good experiences quickly and remember negative experiences for a long time. If you think you're having bad experiences in League then try the following exercise:

Play 20 games and record your experience on a notepad for each one. Say nothing that isn't integral to the game itself. IE report on enemy summoners, grouping up, or strategy, but try not to tell your bot lane how poorly they're doing. How many people were nice? How many people were rude? How many people said nothing? Did you get honored? Did you feel a need to report someone? You may be surprised at the results.

I actually try to be very nice in game. I noticed in one of my recent games today the opposing Cait needed one more win in her Promos for Silver 3. I wished her luck in AllChat. Unfortunately for me I lost, but at least shes in S3 now! I got the nickname "good guy Naut" in that game haha

But what if they meant...

Good guy... NOT

Lol ;) jk But yeah, it's amazing how stress free this game can be if you just approach it the right way. People respond to negativity with negativity, but they respond to a positive attitude in kind. That's just how we are.

I've seen two of these out of my 1k+ games.

I wish games could be like this. Did some ranked 5's with friends just for ward skin(players ranging from bronze to plat). I main riven and am gold, but we were facing silver to gold players.

Got ganked by amumu against ryze top as riven. Said man nice gank but i really hate how amumus bandages snap to a wider hitbox.

INSTANTLY met with "madcuzbad, salt comments etc". Not even 2 minutes after that i started outplaying their ryze and getting doubles etc. We ended up destroying their team but were cool about it. We didnt trash talk back, and they never said another word. I don't get why people can't just be cool in games. I wonder if i will ever get a cool team like that

I had a ranked 5s where at around the time we were about to lose, the enemy team went out of their way just to call us bad at the game and we should stop playing. Who the hell is that inconsiderate and unsportsmanlike just to say that we are bad at the game, I thought that kind of talk is meant for your teammates in ranked -_-

webhippoNov 4, 20141 votes

Haha or to no one? Because being negative or offensive to people doesn't help your team win or help anyone have fun.

good to see man. i see it rarely..` i had one guy cheering us on... now i am gifting the guy... he deserves it too!

Vellich0rNov 3, 20142 votes

a lot of the really intense long games that are won in amazing teamfights end up like that

webhippoNov 3, 20141 votes

Agreed. I actually play way more ARAM (1000+ wins) than classic or ranked, and the community is so much more positive at the end of matches because no one cares too much about wins or losses. It's just for fun! I can't count how many times I've been in 45min+ ARAM matches and everyone at the end sends "honoring you all" or "was fun" along with the usual "gg"s and "wp"s

Nucleophilic atkNov 3, 20142 votes

Yes, people in ARAM are usually nicer because it isn't about wins and losses. To be honest, though, I think the reason more people in ranked are toxic is because of the 2/15 troll that doesn't care about winning, while the others in ranked do. Eliminate that from the game and I think the community will be a lot less toxic.

ShadowSkreeNov 3, 20142 votes

The riot response is kind of funny, warm and cuddly for the rare game that isnt infested with trolls, ragers, leavers, haters, etc...

Great game guys! Lets see whats going on in this battle! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTy0_Vy9cxE&list=UUPg1G8MBzkdZ1IK8I7FKBxw

Hey, at least your server has some some semblance of law enforcement, some toxic people getting warned and temporarily banned and so on.

Here in LAN, the only form of community control is the leaverbuster, and let me tell you, it's a hellish community down here.

This isn't season 1. You're silly.

People actually trying to improve and taking advice? U funny guy.

VaurenNov 4, 20141 votes

So glad you had a great ending like that! I've had one or two of those myself that I can remember, and they are the best things ever. Games like that help give some hope against all the negativity and make it worth it (even if just a little).
