The Summoner's Code vs Reality (lazily written)
- Support Your Team:
- Being a good team player begins at champion select. Be open minded when considering the needs of your team. ----------- Reality: MID OR FEED, insta-lock, trolls.
- Warn your teammates if someone is missing from your lane ---- Reality: No mia pings ever.
- or if something is placing them in immediate danger ---- Reality: "Stop fcking pinging me back"
- Just remember that one ping is enough! ---- Reality: No one listens to pings regardless
- so don't leave the game or go AFK! ---- Reality: Afks every other game
- Encourage players who are having trouble --- Reality: "/all Report mid laner feeding," "/all Report x for y reason," "/all Report x for y reason," etc etc
- congratulate those who are playing well ---- Reality: Players who do well get congratulated
- if you're having a bad game don't take it out on your team! ---- Reality: Your team is having a bad game and you take it out on them
- Drive Constructive Feedback
- Player feedback is an important force in the decision making process of Riot Games. ---- Reality: Vayne still not nerfed, riven still OP, fiora splash art, veigar stun still lame.

-
Be Resolute, not Indignant If you end up in a game with an abusive player, don't lower yourself to their level. Instead, politely ask them to calm down --- Reality: stfu everybody just report x player verbally abusive. /all report x player toxic af.
And remember, while nobody likes being insulted, it pays to take a moment to consider the circumstances. ---- Reality: butthurt boosted bronze being called out for being a baddie and types in /all chat report x player.
If you see a player having a bad game, or who clearly doesn't grasp the fundamentals of the genre, try offering some constructive advice --- Reality: Stfu i know how to play the game kid
