  1. 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
  1. 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.
  1. Facilitate Civil Discussion lol. We are talking about a community who will hold onto their opinion till death.

  2. Enjoy Yourself, but not at Anyone Else's Expense Reality: Smurfs crushing low elo, trash talk from winning team in all chat, GG EZ.

  3. Build Relationships I mean there are probably a million riven mains who are married to riven. Kappa

  4. Show Humility in Victory, and Grace in Defeat Reality: GG EZ should've FF @ 20 noobs. Wow our 0-10-0 midlaner carried your team gg. Report x player for feeding

  5. 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

  1. Lead by Example 15-1-6 mid laner on your team types: /all Team so fckn heavy

  2. The hidden rule Do whatever the fk ya wanna do Kappa

a couple of spots in there could be disagreed with but tbh it's generally the truth. Although, lets be real, we all know that LoL has the most toxic community in the gaming industry and while the summoners code "should" be followed and would make a huge difference in the way people treated each other if it was, It's never gonna happen. Honestly, what can rito do? If they banned all the toxic people and only left those who actually followed the summoners code 70mil accts would drop to 1 mil over night... this post is still funny as shit though
