I will never let my child play this game.

The more and more I have played League of Legends, which is a very very large amount, I have come to realize that this game has the worst community of any I have seen. From the jesters as I like to call them (the people who are such dicks that they sway everyone to flame a random person on the team) to the participation trophy dads (those who report someone for "directly" causing someone else to do something reportable). The worst of which I've seen in this community is how damn sensitive every person in this game is. This single handily is so severe that it would cause me to never allow my child to play this game ever. I believe so strongly that this game teaches the opposite of how adults should act ever. If I were to act, in public, like myself and others act in this game I would be fired and possibly spanked by my parents at the age of 25. You say one word that isn't 100% positive and you might have well taken a dump on their grandparents front porch.

Or you know you could monitor your child if you want them playing video games. The only reason this community is terrible is mainly because parents aren't actually parenting their children. They let the computer basically babysit them, let them do/watch anything, and it basically tell the child that this is ok to do/act.

League is rated Teen, and while I don't really agree with those labels in this case I would actually follow it and wait until my child is a teenager and at least knows some amount of reasoning skills to go with their moral compass.

Personally my children will grow up with Minecraft and Undertale, along with whatever games I find acceptable for them at the time, and I'll let them play the overly competitive and violent games when they are able to not only hold a conversation with me, but also remember it when they are older.

Of course, to be fair, I rarely see adults act as adults are "supposed" to act. Adults trample each other in stores to get to the best sales and yell and scream and discriminate over skin color, economic bracket, and political ideology. I won't be teaching my kids to act like "adults", I will be teaching them to act like the people they are, and to treat other people in kind.
