The epidemic of rude players with no concept of sportsmanship.

Sportsmanship is a concept altogether lost in the online community of LoL.

The piles of Etrash in this game are insurmountable. Tribunal punishes by moving them from ranked to normals, really? Take real action against people immediately and maybe the game wouldn't be a playground for ill mannered teens who need a place to act out. This is obviously a rant but jesus, if there is anything consistent in this game it's knowing that if you play it you're going to run into somebody who is either rude, incredibly rude, or intolerably rude.

People are literally surprised and blown away when they run into polite players, and if everybody in a game is polite it's an absolute miracle. What is wrong with this game? Why does it attract the worst gamers? Their shit attitudes bleed into other games, I've seen it. People learn to be bad gamers in LoL. People have always acted out on the internet but this is a different level.

Then there's the ones that wait until the game is over to insult people in the after game lobby, probably because they know the tribunal doesn't include that chat and they've been banned before. They are patient enough to wait to be rude little %%%%s, wtf is wrong with the world? :/

I honestly feel bad for riot, not only because it's such an impossible issue to conquer but it's embarrassing to run such a successful game that is full of the world's most unsavory children. I apologize, I do realize some of you younger players act maturely, but you can't rightfully call the people who inspire these posts adults.

Nah it's just internet in general, anonymity protects privacy but it also lets people be dicks and get away with it, then you have f2p model which makes matters worse.

So yer, double edged sword aye.

TBH if you want to deal with rude players effectively, be polite throughout the game and carry hard. If you are carrying hard and they start getting mouthy get all over their case (not rude yourself, though).

When the person carrying the game speaks up they usually shut up. Really whoever is doing well in the game should speak up as they are the de facto leader.

If you don't usually carry or are having a bad game use the mute button. For sure though, players that do well should take an active stand against rude players and they have the most clout.
