Stop punishing people for defending themself.

At what point did Riot start promoting that people shouldn't defend them self? Basically you can have a 0-15 Adc talk shit about you all game and even at the end of the game and you are suppose to keep your mouth shut, take it like a bitch and then report at the end of the game and hope something happens...Other wise if you say anything back or even defend yourself you get a report back which could lead to a chat restriction/suspension.

Honestly I don't care about people's opinion on this matter.. I would just like to point this out. No other game that I have played or seen basically tells you if you respond to someone talking shit to you, you will be punished other than this game.

In fact most other games basically let you talk shit all you want as long as they aren't Racist or making death threats and even then some of those games don't even care. Yet they have a less toxic community than this one... Just let people say what they want and make a guideline of what isn't acceptable because as it is right now the only people you are empowering is trolls and making this game game more toxic by punishing every word that is said that someone doesn't agree with.

I won't be checking this thread because I'm sure there will be people who lack common sense on here trolling - but let this sink in-

Other games- say what you want as long as it isn't racist or death threats (Low to Mild toxic) League of Legends- very limited on what you can say if anything without someone getting offended and reporting you and you get punished - (Very High toxic community)

Don't take my word for it, type in "most toxic gaming community" on goggle and see what game comes up over and over.

It's kind of frustrating how many people view the world this way. Getting into fights doesn't make you strong, it shows a tendency to not have the mental control required to be above them.

you can have a 0-15 Adc talk shit about you all game and even at the end of the game and you are suppose to keep your mouth shut, take it like a bitch and then report at the end of the game

It takes a lot more strength of character to ignore someone insulting you than to turn on them and be just as bad. This is not "taking it like a bitch", it's being the bigger man (or woman) and being strong enough to just let it go.

Retaliation is the weak way out of conflict. If some guy starts yelling at me on the street and I start yelling back, I have just gone down to that guy's level. I'm not doing anything productive, and am in fact making the situation worse. If, however, I just ignore the guy and go about my day, I'm showing that I don't care what he thinks/is saying. Much more of a powerful response.

You make this sound like it's a good thing.

Clearly.

Bottom line, it really doesn't matter what is acceptable in other communities. In this community, retaliating to toxicity with toxicity is still toxicity. Pretty simple.

Yes. You are expected to shut your mouth and take it. Responding to someone like that isn't going to make the problem go away, it escalates it because they have nothing better to do than try to piss you off. Nothing someone like that says has any meaning. Mute them and move on. Unless you like getting chat restricted, because responding to them makes you as bad as them.

That's how it works, whether you like it or not.

Throws bag of attention

Thats for making a thread and acting like you don't care about other people opinions on the matter even though if everyone agreed with you, you would be all over this thread. Also there's a mute button you don't have to take anything.

Plus in all MOBA communities I've been in which is pretty much all that got released to the North America side had the same rules against toxic behavior. To be honest you have a toxic mentally so you can't understand this common sense to follow the rules and so you believe other players even though they are by far the minority that follow these rules to have a lack of common sense.

I hope you change one day but whatever, I'm not here to worry about you.

So unless you can point out these 'games' (btw for all fairness they should be MOBAs since thats what LoL ) you have no real facts. If you request the guidelines of the MOBAs I've played I can happily show you them.

Simple:

Situation 1) 10 players in game 1 person being a jerk nobody responds game ends, 4-9 people report one person for being a jerk and move on with life

Situation 2) 10 players in game 1 person being a jerk one person responds now we have two people being a jerk Situation gradually escalates because more people jump on the hate train suddenly we have 10 people being a jerk and everyone reports everyohe else ensuring the reports essentially mean nothing

Which situation is better for everyone?

Obviously arguing against a jerk is "defending yourself". Just press that mute button. THAT is defending yourself.

Yea if you want to defend yourself there is a mute button. It's called acting like an adult, only children get into insult fights, dont act like a child. What right do you have to complain about other people being toxic when you are one of them, never ever lower yourself to their level. If you truly have a problem with someone insulting you then just mute them. From now on instead of responding with more hate just laugh, its just words from someone you have never met.

See it as job training. Reading through your post, you're gonna make it at most to a minimum wage job at Walmart or McD. There you have to deal with bosses that flame at you all the time and you are not allowed to flame back unless you want to lose your job. League is doing you a favor. Learn to shut the fuck up!

You're the same as them if you can't help but be equally toxic to toxic users. Just mute and report. That way you're a better man.
