I'd love to play a game where saying "get shit on kid" doesn't warrant a chat restriction

Sure, it's "toxic" according to the summoner's code. Sure it could hurt someone's feelings. However, this shit happens based on the person reacting. Right now, I'm up there with people who spam racist, homophobic, and sexist rhetoric, only because I grew up in a gaming culture where shit talking was common. I can't even say "get rekt" without someone responding "reported". This carebear community is the reason I don't even want to finish my 5 placement games. No other game polices language like this. On top of that, there's no VOIP for the sole reason of "we can't regulate what people say". That's fucking stupid.

You grew up in a gaming culture where shit talking was common? Just because you had shitty influences doesn't excuse you from your behavior. I played halo and CoD on my xbox when I was a kid as well. I muted all the people like you.

Shit talking isn't gaming culture. It's the ignorant part of it.

Most gaming culture is the complete opposite. Most gamers of original gaming culture are nice people.

It's toxic. You said it yourself. You deserve it.

As a jg main, i end up usually going HAM against a team with duo top.

If i carry and continuously gank my lanes, then at the end game screen say "that's why you don't duo top", i get reported.

Why do toxic people always complain that they dont deserve to be chat restricted and its everyone else's fault and Riots.

Which gaming culture are you referring to exactly? I've never been prone to shit talk and I've been gaming for 21 years or so.

I really don't understand your thinking. The people you describe in the olden days of Cs and Quake, well, I found it a rarity to come across "toxic" people.

I don't know, maybe I am old and my senility is catching up to me, but 99% of the games had cool, fun, decent people who had actual social skills and were willing to communicate on a level of human decency that your kind seems to lack. No care bears involved either.

Besides,* you agreed to the code*, as someone posted earlier. You agreed not to be a dick. Why are you crying about it now. You can always uninstall. I do not think any one will miss you, judging by your attitude.

The LoL community is a special kind of community. You can't even tell someone "stop feeding" without getting a insulting respond follow by constant grudge throughout the whole match.

People like you are just as obnoxious as the 'carebears', but it's okay.

The mute button is love. The mute button is life.

I understand what he saying, but I do also need to say there is a difference between offensive toxic comments, and playful bragging. Saying "get shit on kid" obviously falls under the toxic comment. But when people say "get rekt" or "rekt" or "owned" I would consider playful, competative bragging, which isn't reportable. It can be annoying when people get over sensitive but the things you described in the OP would be considered toxic. Hell, I've had people say they reported me because I spammed taunts after i killed them, and that's what pisses me off.
