Can a rioter pls read and have a real conversation about toxicity in games with me :)
So i just want to have conversation about "toxicity" in games. I have never been banned for verbal abuse or had chat restriction before so i feel my opinion is unbiased. I have a few questions on what your position is and why.
I've played sports both competitive and casual for most of my life. In these games football, basketball, or whatever trash talk has always been a huge part of the game. It drives competitive spirit. Nothing IMO is more satisfying then scoring on the guy who just spent the last ten min trash talking your shot. Nothing makes you want to work harder and improve more then getting beat by that one guy who talked a whole lot of trash. In a lot of sports talking trash is even a legitimate tactic. Getting opponent mad so he loses his focus and makes a mistake is a common strategy and nothing thats disallowed or "ban worthy".
I know there was supposedly an incident with a kid committing suicide and even if its untrue i can understand where people use this as an example of a legitimate fear. However, if a person gets to a point where they let people online in a game get them that upset i would think they had a problem before hand and its not really your fault if they over react. There are limits to this of course and line should be drawn in even real life.
So my question is where does league draw the line? I often talk trash, hell my summoner name is even Im better then you. (yes i know its supposed to be than) Despite this ive never been banned before like i said earlier. So how far is to far and what is ban worthy in your opinion? If i say someone must be mentally challenged to be this bad, will i get banned? Is telling some one they are trash at the game banworthy?
I would very much appreciate a response though i understand you guys are busy people. :) PLS thumbs up so this gets seen
