This is why I just afk/quit games sometimes

GloriousMustache··3 votes·1,457 views

You know, being a mature player, I realised a few things in life, one being, if you play a game to enjoy it and dont, just leave it.

Now I might get flammed, cursed even raged at for saying this out loud, hell, I might even get banned for it, who knows, but enough is enough! I play league of legends to have a good time while competing against an enemy team, I try, God knows I try to be a positive force, even when things go sour. I go by this simple rule since S2 where I had a raging issue* If what I've got to say ain't nice to hear, then I just don't speak at all!*

So, going by this simple rule, I expect people to be respectfull,or at least to Shut the hell up, but yeah, this is Internet I guess.,..

The problematic right now that I see is, To actually enjoy playing League I would have to mute E-V-E-R-Y single person in the game,why do you ask? Simple, I don't stand people acting up through a computer screen, doing the very best they can to lash out at people , insult them, troll them purposely because people in general cant be self criticised or have a straight forward look at their errors, therfore need to put the blame on someone else! Muting EVEN one of your teammates should NOT be an option in a team game, because it affects they strategy layouts and gameplay in general.

So I decided to have All chat disabled ( GOD it feels GOOD!!!!!!! HIGHLY recommand it to anyone having same issues as I do!) And whenever I would have to mute multiple team mates, I usually try to have a surrender vote passing on to move on, but trolls/tryhards being what they are, it usually don't pass, so I dont bang my head anymore, I just leave the game.

The tribunal processing is somewhat flawed, because put it this way, if I stay in the game I usually leave, the beligerent(s) will file report)s) on me, therfore, MY own report will have less weight, so basically if people decide to league on you to blame you and report you, you have no way to actually make it better.

On this i'm signing out, I realise League is no more fun for me, sadly due to it's community.

Games like? If it's a PvP Team game with online matchmaking, you are not going to find anything different. Also, your AFK'ing in games only exacerbates the problem that you are claiming to hate; instead of being a hypocrite, try being the better man.

Being a hypocrite would be me trying to hide in a glass house, where I would be saying league community is fine. I play alot of different games that include a competitive aspect into it, be it starcraft heroes or some other games as well, and from MY personnal experience League is BY FAR the most toxic community i've ever had to deal with.

Also, I do not state that Afk'ers are the problem in here, but rude people,who blatantly insult others.

I didn't say you said AFK'ers were the problem. I implied AFK'ers cause problems other than their own absence; if you can't see that then you are probably a very inconsiderate person nobody will miss.

And I will amnit it sucks, ESPECIALLY if nothing bad in term of raging insulting ect ect happened to the afk'ers in your games.

But let em ask you one thing, and I'll ask you the honest truth here, How many of thoses, did the afk'er get bashed on? People are tired of getting insulted over a game, where playing a game should be about enjoying the time you are playing it, not actually getting frustrated by a said % of people.

"arn't common"

What? Nobody said that, so who are you quoting there? Trying to attribute that to me is dishonesty at its finest. Go troll elsewhere.

asktiks1 votes

no ...it doesn't...

if he were flaming trolling right back then youd have a point..

hes maybe ruining other peoples game and even that is debatable since they are already trolling HIM when he quits as I understand it

tbh, I haven't played in more than a week OP for the same reason, that and riot doesn't seem to even play the same game we do lately with these crazy nerfs/buffs and unneeded changes that they have to roll right back

So AFK's aren't a problem? You and your teammates enjoy them?

Either you think it's ok to AFK, or you're wrong. Pick one.

I get your point where going afk is definately not the attitude to adopt, but then maybe you'd like to submit your very own suggestion? It is out of consideration for my own self and my pleasure playing teh game that I quit what seems to be a no come back situation ( attitude wise) I admit Afk IS a problem itself, but again, it is not a blatant afk for x reason i'm speaking of here, but more of a 'I dont enjoy my team at all due to flamming raging ect, might as well not endure this'. By doing so I trake on ME and ONLY ME the risk of getting warned/reported/banned.

You are trying to picture something where it is either black or white, where there is DEFINATELY some gray zones to discuss of.

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

AFK'ing for your own benefit at the cost of everyone else has no gray zones...it is wrong no matter what. You are not fit for multiplayer games with this attitude; please stick with solo offline games.

Not true, it can be seen as self-defense, which is actually legally accepted.

Stating that you are a mature person and being a mature person are two different things.

So you're making a point to say that you're speaking out regardless of whether you get banned, then follow up by saying you're done with LoL. Saying, "To hell with the consequences!" loses its punch when you have no actual risk of consequences. It just sounds melodramatic.

So, going by this simple rule, I expect people to be respectfull,or at least to Shut the hell up, but yeah, this is Internet I guess.,..

That's a faulty assumption. You don't have to mute every single person in the game to avoid bad attitudes and ragers.

So I decided to have All chat disabled ( GOD it feels GOOD!!!!!!! HIGHLY recommand it to anyone having same issues as I do!) And whenever I would have to mute multiple team mates, I usually try to have a surrender vote passing on to move on, but trolls/tryhards being what they are, it usually don't pass, so I dont bang my head anymore, I just leave the game.

Lumping "trolls/tryhards" together? Not exactly mature. Just because someone doesn't want to give up hope isn't a bad thing, and leaving the game is the opposite of mature. When you queue up, you implicitly agree to commit your time and effort to your team. Don't want to commit? Don't join the queue. There's a reason that "AFK/Leaving" is a report category.

The tribunal processing is somewhat flawed, because put it this way, if I stay in the game I usually leave, the beligerent(s) will file report)s) on me, therfore, MY own report will have less weight, so basically if people decide to league on you to blame you and report you, you have no way to actually make it better.

You don't understand the Tribunal at all. If you are not a problem, their reports will have no effect on your report weight. You can be spam reported all year long if you are a mature player who doesn't break the rules, and no penalties will befall you. Your report weight is lowered if you give false reports or if you are seen as a problem player. By leaving, you are practically guaranteeing that you get reported. Funny how that works.

Source: Lyte

To give you brief glimpse into what one experiment is testing, first, we have to understand that the Reporting system is different than the Tribunal system. The Reporting system's sole job is to calculate a player's report accuracy, and a lot of fancy math has gone into the system to make sure that a report is only taken into account when it is accurate. So, if a player is a consistently negative player themselves, their reports might be worth less because the system may consider them a bad judge of others' behaviors. If a player troll reports and gets their 3 friends to troll report, the system will completely toss the reports out. All of the experiments that use reports benefit from the above system to make sure that players aren't able to just abuse someone with random reports.

Always report if there's a problem. Fear no reports if you are not the problem.

On this i'm signing out, I realise League is no more fun for me, sadly due to it's community.

This reeks of "I want the last word."

  • You declare yourself mature.
  • You claim that the only way to avoid abuse is by muting every single person.
  • You try to justify leaving games... and one of those justifications is "tryhards."
  • You again try to justify leaving games... by giving an excuse that otherwise you will be reported by "the belligerents" and that your report weight will be lowered because of it, which is proven wrong by Lyte's explanation.
  • Ironically, you claim that people in general can't acknowledge their errors and must blame on others, when this is exactly what you are doing.

So you want to flip the bird to the general masses here while continuing to call yourself mature to sound better than the dross you're leaving. That's pretty transparent... immature, too.

Now, I will not take the time to go thru all your assumptions one by one like you did on me, as I clearly do not match your higher intellect. The point here is, I don't play a game you dont enjoy.

Now, putting tryhard into trolls would be a mistake, but I think you are being hard on the words here and just being purposely blind folded for argumentating sake.

I do not claim the only way to go thru this is by muting every single person in everygame, but in thoses who gets to snowball the wrong side. Also, please explain to us, what is at your disposition to avoid the games where you have severals BM's players/ragers ?? Do you own an actuall script that refrain you from reading? I'm being curious, because most human being tends to read thing their eyes sees...

Also, Most of your points I personally consider invalid, for you take the situation and turn it side ways, I never mentionned going afk when people wanted to try to the end, I said i was afk'ing when the overall mood was rolling on insults ect ect.

Calling me immature, without actually knowing, who I am, where I come from, what are my life experience, I'll let you find a word to define this attitude properly.

I'm not justifying for acceptance, wich you seems to assume, i'm sharing my toughts on to what I think is plaguing the game.

Also, I do not support afk,at all, be it for 'good' reasons or not, but then, I was not aware of the actuall Lyte post regarding the Tribunal, guess shame's on me for not being a 24/7 forum rat eh?

In no way i'm flipping the bird by quitting the game, but if you actually argue this community got no problem,wich i'm pretty sure you will looking at all the tiem spent to launch this sorta attacks on my post, then you must be either sadomasochist, blind, or extremely tolerent, wich I am not,yet in EVERY single other games I play there is Still trolls ragers ect, but I still enjoy them, ask me why.
