Make "It's just normals" a reportable offense aswell as "gg eazy"

I'm freaking tired of ppl who must boost their ego in normals by trolling 4 other players and using this poor excuse as a shield towards any criticism.

Today was the last drop. A Garen queued up as tank and built only AD, when I pointed that out (after suggesting him to get more tnaky through all the game without any answer from him) he replied "this is a bu-ild now and lol it's just normal".

This was enough, I try my best to be comprehensive and not to jump on ppl but this sentence must be deleted from LoL because if you don't care about playing at a minimum level of decency there are Coop vs AI matches and custom ones.

I mostly agree with your sentiment, but what you described is not trolling if he was trying to win.

Saying "its just normals" is basically the same as telling someone to relax.

Maybe garen shouldn't have built full AD, although that isn't even that weird these days. But, him building a way you don't think he should is not trolling. Based on your description of the game id say he probably felt pestered by you so he got defensive.

First, he queued up as a tank and didn't build a single defensive item, not even the HP/AD ones, he went straight to double IE. During the whole game I suggested him to build some defenses but he kept silent. Nearing the end I pointed out that he had queued as a tank and to look at his build. He then replied like it. The exchange in chat didn't have any form of attack, he didn't need to get defensive, he used the "it's just normal" as a way to justify his "I don't care" attitude.

Then, if ppl don't care, why must they join other players team in PvP when they can just go in Coop vs AI or any custom game?

I mean, saying "gg easy" it's just a statement that said match was won without much effort, it isn't toxic as death treaths or insults but the way it is used it's just to piss off ppl who put themselves into the match. In this case (and in others even more, like AP Darius, full Mana gems Teemo or w/e) it's used to cover up their intention of playing randomly for the sake of the lols which is AT LEAST unsportsmen like.

I agree. "It's just normals" invalidates everyone else who is trying to play. And is used as an excuse for trolling and otherwise ruining the game for others. Some of us DO play only normals, some of us DO take normals seriously. We really hate when people come from ranked and just troll or first-time-pvp a champion. To us its not JUST normals, its NORMALS. That's our jam, don't piss in it by saying, "It's just Normals."

I'm starting to think that I should report also people using "dude" as single chat message.
