Trash talk

Tilt Prodigy··4 votes·1,546 views

Does anyone else miss the days when you could trash talk without the guaranteed million game chat ban? i remember years ago when i first started playing at the back end of season 2, trash talk was abundant and there weren't such tough restrictions on doing it. The game has rapidly declined in the last year when it comes to this and most of the reports these kids send in aren't even legitimate reports yet it adds to your file or w/e database type system Rito has up during this eternal tribunal maintenance. For me, half the fun of this game was trash talking the enemy team or your own team when they were blatantly feeding. The only reason those losing games were fun is because you could cleverly insult the kids on your team =). I know there is a bunch of soft players who can't handle the abuse because they were on the tit for the first ten years of their life and sheltered from the real world by their ignorant parents, but is that a reason to punish us? I say no! What is the point of a mute button and a chat filter that tackle this issue for these players who don't want to be involved in a competitive environment? Let us have our trash talking back. Im tired of trying to be reigned down by this computer based restriction system. Thoughts?

If people enjoyed your trash talking, they wouldn't report you.

There is no mention in my post about enjoying opposing players trash talk? why would i want them to like it? ITS TRASH TALK KID, if you dont have anything productive to say, move on down the road.

Take your own advice. Enjoy your restriction hahahahaha

A lot can be said in 3 starting messages, and another message every 5 minutes thereafter. Honestly, from a efficiency standpoint, it hurts Riot's cause more than it helps because i savor those messages for clever burns instead of communicating with my team instead of both. So it hurts you more in ranked as a player who plays with someone chat banned than it helps. So i hope I see you on the rift friend =). That way you can enjoy my chat restrict as well.

Feel free to act that way. You will only earn increasing restrictions because you can't act your age.

The sad fact is, they probably are.

When you aren't forced to have any social interaction outside of text messages and the internet, you tend to act a lot more immature. Sadly, today's 20 year old was the 15 year old from 10 years ago.

When you grow up in a world where people would rather hang out in WoW than in person, text instead of talk, and be passive-aggressive over facebook instead of saying it to someone...you can't be surprised people like this exist.

Trash talk is used at all ages, your whole argument is moot. It's people like you guys who take it as immaturity and baby behavior that creates this ass tight environment we are squeezed into these days on League, just because you can't take a joke.

Which honestly, makes you guys look like babies, its not all sunshine and rainbows in the real world, so why should it be in a video game just because you are in a bubble.

Go trash talk your coworkers and boss the first day at a respectable job. Have fun in real life getting real life restrictions.

Only a moron would do that, that is irrelevant to trash talking in a VIDEO GAME, as in a recreational activity that I do on my own time. Grow up and don't take games so literally. Calling me immature doesn't change the fact you can't handle a very big part of almost any other team based game on the market.

There are repercussions in the real world too. You are building an argument against yourself, all I have to do is quote you and explain the connection that you're not smart enough to make.

Tilt Prodigy2 votes

perhaps you are right, but I can do the same thing to you, your whole argument is based on the real world having consequences and repercussions for your actions, which is true. But i can also argue that whining and complaining about what people do or how they act in the real world wont get you far at all, yet its perfectly okay to assume this should be the case for a game that USED to have a trash talk aspect but no longer DOES because you and many other members of the community WHINED and COMPLAINED because YOU did not like it. That isn't how it works in the real world. So stop using the real world as a suitable crutch for your argument. It is a game.

Deep Terror Nami2 votes

You're the one that brought up the real world first...that was a quote from you. I feel like I'm speaking to a small child right now.

Actually Xonra brought it up, if you can read? but keep personally attacking me, just makes you look like an arse and ignorant.

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

Xonra was not part of my conversation or argument. You are both an idiot and restricted. Have fun with that lol

Sorry, but you not agreeing with my whole argument doesn't make it moot, is makes you not agree with it.

It is people like you that act a fool that make people with any sort of power (Riot for example) put restrictions on everyone, because you can't just act like a normal human being. Is it really that hard to not act a fool? You act like your hands will just fall off if you don't give someone a "sick burn" lol

You'll grow up eventually and realize in about 5 years how silly you sound right now. Until then, I hope it doesn't hurt you acting that way, because it sure as hell won't help lol

yeah its fun and they still do it all the time in high elo because they know each other. too many kids that get salty about everything and will cut their wrists if you even joke with them. Only game thats like that, hell in cs go we do the same but with voice chat to our team and text chat to the other team makes for wayyyyyy more fun games

Tilt Prodigy4 votes

EXACTLY, where is the competitive spirit! Sometimes someone burns you, sometimes you burn them. Learn to take a hit as well as you can give one imo

Jiberamu3 votes

its not like it matters what some kid who you have no idea about says on the internet. i 100% agree makes it more competitive. Sure constantly saying your team is shit isnt a competitive thing but saying things in all chat or just bantering shouldnt be banable its actually pretty silly that they act like children over something as harmless as words. did everyone forget mama's saying? sticks and stones will break bone but words will never hurt me. People just got the sensitive stick shoved too far up their arses

It is different when you are physically in front of someone trash talking because "gamesmanship".

It is one thing to shit talk because you are hiding behind your computer where no one can get to you for being an ass because you take things a step further than you would to their face, because, what are they gonna do? It is easy to trash talk when you can do it typing at a keyboard with no consequences to your actions.

My husband got a chat ban for politely asking for a gank in chat. That doesn't seem extreme at all.

Xonra3 votes

I miss the days when people didn't feel the need to trash talk because it was the "cool thing" to do.

Also the difference between trash talking today, and trash talking say, 15-20 years ago is, back then, if you said something you had to 1) back it up or 2) make sure it was a joke, cause otherwise you were made a fool of, or hit in the mouth (it's just the way it is, look at traditional sports and trash talking).

Today, teenagers and young adults who never had to grow up trash talk because they can hide behind their computers with no worry of consequences, being internet "Badasses" because no one can do anything but trash talk back, and if it comes down to it, they just turn off their monitors.

I guarantee 95% of the people that trash talk in this game wouldn't dare say any of the same things in person, and the 5% that would probably have very few social interactions in the real world.

I agree, but in the same respect, someone could say talking shit in real life with the threat of getting hit in the mouth is juvenile, let alone very punishable by law. Freedom of speech a very important part of our constitution, beating someone up cause you are butt hurt is not. Same applies to the internet, just because you can't act on your baser instincts of defense doesn't mean we should be punished for burning you over the internet, esp in a VIDEO GAME. just my thoughts.

I've seen it said before, and found it funny, but I think it is appropriate here.

Free speech was the freedom to speak your beliefs. Freedom of speech isn't there to give you the freedom to be a disrespectful a-hole. You can't use the "freedom of speech" card to try and justify shit talking on the internet or in person lol That just sounds silly.

Also it isn't a matter of "butthurt", it is a matter of you being disrespectful and thinking you will say what you want with no consequences. That isn't how the real world works, whether you like or appreciate that fact.

It sounds like you sadly fall into the category of believing you should be able to say whatever stupid stuff you want and want something to hide behind so there will be no retaliation. You must be young to still have this belief, as you learn pretty fast in the real world, that isn't how things tend to go.

  • You will quickly have fewer quality friends, if any after a while of acting that way
  • Your employer sure as hell won't put up with it
  • Eventually you WILL say the wrong thing to the wrong person, and something negative will come of it.

The fact is, it is your RIGHT to have an opinion, but it isn't necessarily your right to act a fool, over the internet or otherwise. If it was socially acceptable, there wouldn't be rules in place like Riot has to punish people for doing so. the fact you are trying to justify is says a lot to me about your personality, whether you like that assumption or not.

That is exactly what freedom of speech means, it literally means i have the right to say what i want to say when i want to say it. You could tell the president you are going to beat the shit out of him and its your right. They might hold you in a cell for a day but they can't keep me without any actual proof that i have a plan or intentions to do what I said, because i have the right to say whatever stupid stuff i want. Also I expect retaliation, that is what makes it fun, I don't expect to just say what i want and not get trash talked back. We have a very different definition of acting a fool. Telling an ezreal he can't hit a q if taric's life depended on it is not acting a fool. Running down the streets naked is a more accurate example.

Video games are not real life people, and shouldn't be treated as thus. Its just a sorry excuse to defend chat restrict.

When someone trash talks in all chat (especially on a strong champ), the first thing that comes to mind is "This guy must have a really small penis."

We have to have chat restrictions. People need to feel good about their 32th place ribbons!!!

500 wins in 3 months and I don't at all attribute this to teams calling me an idiot or my laner trash talking me into shame while I was learning the game.

None of this motivated me to be better.

I'm just that damn good.
