what ive learned about the forums
Most are under the age of 18 and just blindly follow what a major figure says even if its wrong. I use to be that way as a child too, the gov knows best, the highest power knows best blah blah. Until I grew up and figured out how the world works. All the kids agreeing with riot that hai should be fined he "broke the rules" to have fun and make the bland meta a little bit more fun. Props to hai.
The argument "he broke the rules" is a terrible one at that. Hitler had rules you had to kill the jews should we just let the people off for doing that because their leader made it the rules? If we just obeyed terrible rules north america would be ruled by britain.
So ive learned you cant argue with the majority of league players,reddit users,league forum users, because 99% are misinformed children that look up to something and follow it blindly till the end, for instance if riot said what hai did was okay ect and didnt fine him the mass majority would follow and agree as opposed to how they act now when riot does say its bad. Also most of the players are extremely low elo which shows they dont know that much about the game at all to start with. Then again most are children or low teens so it makes sense.
Just a reminder to not follow something blindly and to ask yourself "is this really harmful and the right thing? or was it non impactful and for fun?" This one is an obvious answer for the whole hai dilemma. I dont even really care too much for hai or cloud 9 I just don't like when someone who doesn't actually do any harm and instead makes the game more enjoyable from a viewer point of view getting screwed over even a little bit by a greedy company. The difference is I dont blindly follow something and agree with it. Just because more people agree with something or say its right doesn't make it right. And I will go back to the hitler example for this. All the germans followed hitler does it make it right? no.
