The lower and lower quality of in-game chat / All chat
So like, I've been playing since late season 3.
I feel like at the end of season 4 the 8 year olds laid eggs and they hatched.
Sure, people shit talked, there were all the common jokes and sayings, most of which are still around today...but I also remember jokes. Witty comments, funny conversations, randomness etc.
It has slowly gone away and been replaced by lame, tryhardish talk about the game, or who is good, and who is bad.
Like, even in norms, all people talk about is who is bad, who is shitty, who is a noob, why doesn't jungler gank, etc.
It's gotten to the point where someone will say "our top sucks" in all chat and everyone will chime in "well you know its not his fault he got countered and your jg never ganked" etc. And it becomes some public debate where oh so and so is bad yea so and so sucks and who is good.
Why should the enemy support and my mid be talking about why our top lost the lane? Why is the only thing on anyone's mind trying to show everyone how good they are, or talking shit about other people, or talking about this lane or that lane how they lost or won?
When did everyone become so one dimensional and simple minded in league that every conversation is either about who is good and who sucks, or some kind of john madden lane commentary and excuse fest about how and why people are winning or losing?
Why is your score such a magical and important thing that it allows you to be an ass to people and get defended because you're "carrying"?
Why is it ok to be a dick to people who are having a bad game?
I will talk down on people who diss their teammates and they say shit like "if you had him on your team you would be complaining too!"
No, I really wouldn't. Because that shit aint cool. But that's how the new breed of league player rolls. They are a bunch of tryhard score zombies, only looking at the score and basing everything, including how toxic someone is allowed to be, around that.
I don't know man. I feel like players now have such tunnel vision and take the game so seriously it sucks the fun out of it.
League needs age brackets. I would love to play in like an over 21 bracket or something. I feel like so many of the problems I deal with in-game chat wise would go away.
