Why people should stop giving others crap about being bad.
I'll admit, I'm not very good at this game. I am a horrible decision-maker, don't have time to get better, and I'm 1-5 in my promos(OMW to Bronze V...lmao). But that doesn't stop me from having fun when I play LoL, and what I hate more than anything isn't that people tell me I am bad, but how they say it. Before you keep raging at people and blame everyone but yourself, hear me out:
Firstly, no one's getting better when you rage. The game's not going to change if you rage. Why not give constructive criticism? Tell someone what they're doing wrong so they don't do it again. If they ignore you, tell them you're trying to help. Don't start slamming your keyboard like a toddler throwing a tantrum. Yea, that's what we see when you're toxic. A little kid who can't control himself. So try to teach or learn from mistakes rather than making the person play worse.
Secondly, if the person is so "trash", why are you in their elo? Maybe there's one game where one person is just really bad, but if you keep finding yourself being a jerk there's a problem with you. You're not as good as you think if everyone is so bad. And don't be a hypocrite. When someone messes up and you're doing worse than them don't try to blame your mistakes on them.
Thirdly, It's a game. I'm sorry if someone wasted 30 minutes of your life being a bad player, but it's only 30 minutes. You live a life averaging 70 years. Live with it. And why does it matter if someone sucks? To quote Sky Williams, "Elo ain't gonna pay the bills!" While you're sitting here raging and not having a life, that other person is actually doing stuff. Maybe president of a club. Star of the high school football team. And when they lead a good life where will you be? If you're in their elo, certainly not in the LCS. All that time playing a game with no tangible reward will fall upon you when you're 30 without a job. Don't rage because they're bad. Being bad at a game is not going to determine your entire life, unless you spend all your time playing it.
Lastly, just remember most people average a 50% win rate-even me. If you can't live with losing half of your games, uninstall. This game is meant to be fun, and so if you are not going to have fun for around half of the time you are missing the point. Remember-you have bad games too. One game won't define a player's skill if they fall behind due to mistakes. They've probably been fed and carried a game. You just weren't there.
In conclusion, LoL community, I play this game to have fun. Please don't ruin it by caring too much about a video game. There is just so much about this community that is so horrible. And we need the Tribunal back to help. Peace, Ultimate Snipe
