To the parents who let your children play this game..

Honestly, you're a bad parent. You don't teach correct morals and understanding, you don't spend time with your child, and you most importantly don't teach him/her how to respect other human beings. There really needs to be a stricter age limit for this game for the ones who want to try and take this game seriously. It's literally impossible when you've got arrogant kids who go all 'yolo solo 420 CoD noscopez' they just do whatever they want and say whatever they want. And what happens when you try and tell them what they're doing wrong/why they're playing bad? They just immediately start trolling and flaming. 8/10 times YOU are the one who gets reported and banned/chat restricted, not the kid/kids who went way out of line and threw the game/constantly makes bad immature jokes all game to make it look funny. Like I LOVE this game and love playing it, but the childish community is completely ruining it for me. inb4 you all assume I'm crying and start to flame me (which will happen). There seriously needs to be stricter guidelines and human controlled reporting system. Enough is enough. Letting way too many brats just get what they want and say what they want nowadays. Whatever happened to decency and respect for our fellow man?

Sincerely a beloved League player.

What if I told you,

It's not only the kids taking a dump at someone across the internet?

Age doesn't always equate behaviour. An adult can act like they're 5 years old, and opposite cases can also be true.

Ironically, that kind of behavior is just as equally said by older, independent players. Just perform your best, laugh along at cheesy jokes while you're still alive, and just being emotionally positive will almost always ensure that your team will do the same.

To the players who consider themselves a good player but actually aren't and blame the younger ones

Hello, I'm fourteen and from a foreign country.

I mostly play this game to improve my English and make new friends abroad. I mainly play as a jungler or support. I also don't find myself to fit the ranked, so I always play normals. I've never been overly toxic (I was because I didn't know the meanings of bad words :/ ), and I'm already aware of morals (Morals is a part of life in the country I live). If you knew that morals depend on parents and friends, you shouldn't have behaved like everybody under the age of 18 is toxic. I still respect you because in the country I live, most of the players are under the age of 15 and are toxic (Triple the toxicity you confront on NA, and double it again if you're a girl), and I know that I don't change anything much. But your behavior makes me (and the very few young players that aren't toxic) sad and disappointed.

If you've been more supportive and respectful, you should've climbed lots of divisions. Your behavior is like one of my relatives (He never helps his team about objectives and he never focuses correctly). I honestly want you not to blame younger players, instead teaching them being a better player and being more respectful.

Sincerely, A League player that isn't as old as you.

I think its a horrible thing to generalize. Just because a parent lets their kids play this game (which is Teen rating) doesnt mean they are neglecting them, or being a bad parent. You can play this game no matter what your age it. that shouldnt determine who plays this game, because if anything i see more adults act childish in this game more than kids. Dont get me wrong i dislike having those types of people in my matches/games, but what can you do? There is animosity when you are on the internet. people do not know who you are, so whose to say the person on the other end is a child? The main reason why anyone acts like this is because there is no real consequences with these types of game. Whats the worse they could do? ban the account? then theyll make another and continue the process!

umm.... I am a kid. I have never been reported. I want to win just as much as any other non-trolling players

Not all kids are bad. Just the ones you realize are kids. A good portion, although I couldn't possibly say what percentage since I have no statistics, just never make you think they're a kid.

One of my viewers on my stream is 13. I would've never guessed it until he told me. One of the nicest guys I've talked to, and very mature. I figured he was probably not OLD like me yet(at 30) because of how eager he is, but I had no idea he was 13.

And I've seen a lot of adults get accused of being kids when I know they're just trollish adults. While I won't say there are no discerning factors by age, trolling is not one of them.
