Comparing Champs to Cancer Needs to Stop

I know I'm only level 21, but I read the boards a lot, and have noticed one thing in particular. People are using the word cancer way to often. Seriously, its just flat out disrespectful. People have lost loved ones to cancer, devoted lives to cancer, and it is one of the most despicable things on planet earth. Comparing your struggles you have against a certain champ in a video game is flat out disrespectful, it does not compare to the real world problems that cancer creates. Please stop using cancer as a term to describe something, there are other words that mean a similar thing without being so disrespectful. Thanks for your consideration. Have a wonderful day PS: If this is in the wrong board, please tell me, I am not an expert around the boards.

While it may not be the best word to use. I wouldn't get bent out of shape over it. Not to be rude about it but if it got under your skin that bad you are on the oversensitive side and need to grow some thicker skin.

I also had family that died to cancer but just because someone uses the word doesn't mean I am offended, if anything when they refer to a champ as being cancer, I can almost immediately get an idea of what they mean. They aren't making a joke out of cancer, then that would be bad, they are refering to thinks that are cancerous which they kinda have a point, these new champs are getting out of hand and its about time they start controlling themselves before all the new champs only have dashes and 10 ways to do %max hp true damage.
