There's a mute button for a reason; if you're a sensitive person, use it.

I've recently starting playing LoL again and it seems like the amount of cringeworthy hypersensitive people has gone up significantly since I quit. I've been reported my past 3 games for simply calling shots and instructing my team on which objectives to push when they are all over the map. I don't personally attack anyone for their play-style or mistakes, because it usually doesn't help.

I've also noticed people will report others for trash talking, when that's a part of any sport. Even for saying shit like "Haha easy game" afterwards.

Seriously, are we all in middle school again? Are you people that sensitive that you can't handle banter? Were you raised by a single mother or something?

It's pretty annoying and really takes the fun out of the game when you can't even use the chatbox without getting reported. So, like I said in the title, if you are that sensitive to where you can't handle interacting with other human beings, use the mute button.

I highly doubt you were just "simply calling shots and instructing my team on which objectives to push"

If you were pinging, and then asking for a specific strategy in chat, you wouldn't get reported. You were typing some far more toxic things than you're willing to admit. Or you are so twisted in your own toxicity that you think it's normal to rage and flame at random people over a video game, in which case you have no idea what you're doing (kind of like how sociopaths don't feel, and mentally handicapped people can murder but not understand what happened).

Trash talking is when you try to get in someone's head during the game to affect their play. Taunting after you win is just being a disrespectful jerk.

I'd love to see a chatlog of one of these games you were reported for.

Chances are your idea of 'just calling shots' is 'just calling people out for every little thing they do wrong in an insulting way and whining about how they're not doing what I want'.

screenshot your chat log before the game ends all of it.

Please don't use sports as an excuse for toxic actions---time after time pro sports and college (and others) are cranking down on sportsmanship and language. League allows way worse stuff then sports these days... And Yes I can prove it provide you links and such I just don't really need to.

That excuse is growing very thin indeed.

The Mute button is there to help certain people in certain circumstances and NOT a button for people to use as another excuse to be Rude !!! There is nothing wrong with being sensitive and much wrong with being a jerk to teammates, and I am not saying you are doing so but it certainty comes off like you might have a problem yourself. Good Luck with that.
