what if it's a tuesday

T RexHasTinyArms3 votes

Then it's totally okay. Mostly because Tuesday is the best reason to drink, and if you're drunk it may slip out. Just apologize afterwards and try not to lose bladder control if you get too drunk.

Correction. Tuesday is not the best reason to drink. Thursday is "Thirsty Thursday" after all. <--- Better reason. (But you should still apologize for being "THAT guy")

A competitive game always needs a winner and a loser, but it never needs an asshole.

Unless, of course, the goal of the game is to kill the asshole. Then you need an asshole

DorkunedAuras6 votes

Jungle Nunu be like: "You went and ganked and thought you'd return to a jungle with monsters in it? nah"

Top/Mid Nunu be like: "You wanted to farm without getting chunked by snowballs? Nah. You wanted to attack me and make me take damage? Consume, nah. You wanted to catch up to me and kill me? Snowball, bloodboil nah. You wanted to gank me and kill me 2v1? Absolute Zero nah.

Regardless of what you do, nunu will make you cry.

When it is LIKELY that you will be an asshole.

When you are winning. When you are losing. When your teammates are doing poorly. When you are doing poorly. When you play any role other than support. When you get stuck playing support. When either team has a Riven . If you have picked Tryndamere . When someone is trolling. When you have an afk.
When you have a rager. When you ARE a rager.

Welcome to league... where the only people who aren't jerks are the ones who muted everyone at the start of the game. :-P

Calibretto92 votes

Man, that last statement is super true. I try to be super friendly to people or keep my mouth shut entirely. Eventually found that this was made so much easier by just muting everyone. So, nowadays, if I make a bad play, if someone on either team starts getting mouthy, if anything even remotely triggers that Spidey-sense, I mute everyone in the match and communicate solely on pings. It works absolute wonders. It became so, so, so much easier to recover from bad plays when you don't have an entire team (or two) jumping down your throat about it.

Meh. I doubt it. There's simply no benefit to being an asshole to people - at least not ones you'll never see again. More, it actually makes it harder to win, and that goes contrary to my goals. So I'll probably keep doing what I already do - rant at my monitor and keep my fingers away from the Enter key.

Anidan3 votes

Hey, that's what I do :D

Actually typing the shit I'm saying in my head is a good way to lose the game we're playing and get a good ban applied to my account. Seems counterproductive to be an asshole to try and vent anger since it risks you losing your account for a period of time, which might make you even angrier.

That one. But I like the other, too. I may start using that.

I'm not saying the thread is wrong. It's just not going to help at all, since people who do this type of stuff won't care about yet another "don't be a jerk" forum thread. I've seen hundreds.

Because fighting cancer with cancer works so well.

LaceUp235 votes

Do you know what they fight cancer with? It's actually pretty toxic stuff.....While I get what you're trying to say, it's a poor comparison.

Anidan2 votes

Difference being that in fighting cancer in real life they aim to save lives. You're contributing to making another person's life shitty simply because they're trying to do that to you.

You're right: it is a poor comparison, because that toxic stuff they're fighting cancer with is much more helpful.

LaceUp232 votes

Have you ever played a sport?

Anidan9 votes

Yes. You know the term 'sportsmanship' I'd imagine, right?

LaceUp232 votes

Yes, it's when you say, "rekt" when you flatten the wide receiver lol.

Anidan3 votes

Man, you'd have been reprimanded or removed in every sports team I've seen in my schools if the coach found out about that.

That attitude is pretty shitty, man. They just got knocked down, you think they really need to hear you speak, too? Your actions already spoke to your skill, your words speak only to your arrogance.

LaceUp231 votes

Never in my life have I played a sport that the players didn't trash talk lol. I don't know what kind of mama's boy you are, but that is actually a real thing lol. From the outside looking in you might not see it, so I can understand your confusion. But to say you would be removed from the sports team for trash talking is very ignorant to sports lol.

Anidan6 votes

Yeh, our coaches wanted us to be good people that would respect that a loss was more than enough for their team to feel bad about. I mean, they just lost in front of so many people, and they have to live with knowing they lost and that they didn't work hard enough.

Sorry for your coaches, mate.

The stuff they fight cancer with is toxic, right?

Just like cancer.

You agree that the toxic stuff they fight cancer with is toxic yet you call it a poor comparison. :/

Fighting toxicity with toxicity is bad.

Go figure mate.

(Look I am not downvoting or attacking you, I don't believe in joining the town in a witch burning persay but you need to see how this affects the way you are viewed because you look pretty stupid)

LaceUp231 votes

Op had made the comment, "fighting cancer with cancer works so well" in the sense that trolling a troll doesn't work. He was being sarcastic with his comment. He was not actually saying being toxic to a toxic person works well. In fact, it was the opposite of what he was saying.

Being a science major, I had to tell him that they actually do fight cancer with toxic shit. So, it was a bad comparison to use cancer as his example.

You agree that the toxic stuff they fight cancer with is toxic yet you call it a poor comparison. :/

This is where your assumptions are wrong. I was not agreeing with him because he said fighting toxic with toxic is bad, and I was saying that is actually how they do fight cancer.

Fighting toxicity with toxicity is bad.

This is what he was saying. I was saying that his choice word of cancer was a poor comparison because in cancer's case, fighting it with toxicity is actually a good thing.

Get it?
