I Want To Play A Game of League Where I Can Have Fun and Not Be Harassed For It.

Sometimes I wanna play a crappy champion or have a weird build because it's fun, but those elitists just flame you all game for it. Sometimes I wanna have 6 sightstones or a full mobility build and pretend I'm a secret agent navigating through the jungle trying not to be seen as I walk into the enemy fountain. Sometimes I wanna see how many deaths I can get in one game. Sometimes I wanna take a champion into a lane they don't belong in just because I'm bored and want a new experience. Sometimes I wanna play the game OUTSIDE OF THE META. Outside of these stupid standards the playerbase set. If someone picks Evelynn, if someone goes AD Heimerdinger, if someone dives the enemy fountain, if someone continuously gets themselves killed intentionally, if someone goes Ashe top, this is their way of having fun! So let them have fun! Riot made this game for the playerbase to have fun, and maybe dying over and over again is someone's way of having fun! In normals it should be completely okay. I understand if it were punishable in ranked, but everybody deserves to play the game how they want and have fun in their own way in normals. Equality for all players!

9 people's fun > 1 person's fun.

Fun doesnt mean stomping. Fun can mean simply playing a fun champion that has an interesting kit that gives a challenge.

In matchmade games, you're welcome to play any champion you want in any lane you want as long as you are trying to win. When you are randomly queued up with other players there is an expectation that you will try to work together with them as a team.

If you want to build all sightstones or try to dive-bomb the enemy fountain or see how many times you can die in one game, find some like-minded friends and play Custom games.

There's a lot of people playing that actually want to win for whatever reasons. For me, I usually only play to get first win of the day unless its a weekend. When my game is lost because someone wanted to "have fun" and contribute nothing to the game, yes, I'm going to be a bit pissed off. That is 30-45 minutes of my time wasted, and because of the fact that I can only play late at night, I want the first win of the day as fast as possible so I can get sleep.

I'm all for having fun, but only if the rest of the team is okay with it. Not to mention the enemy team that might want to actually get some practice instead of playing against a team that doesn't even try.

Ironically in a matchmaking system the people who are trying their hardest to win will still only win 50%. exactly the same rate as the people who like to play AD heimerdinger.

And Id be fine with someone playing ad donger. I wouldn't be fine with someone trying to sneak through the enemy jungle to get to the fountain or building only sightstone. Most of the things you said would just be considered trolling/griefing. They may be fun for the person fucking around, but for the people that want to actually try to win, not so much.

AD Donger is 100% okay if you're trying to win. Building only sightstone is just griefing. AD Donger and Ashe top is fine if you at least put some effort out. But killing yourself intentionally? How the fuck can that make you happy, or do something positive for your team?
