PSA - If you want people to not be D***s in game, don't be one yourself

There used to be a time where you could ask for help in game chat and even if there were jerks you might get one person who offers help.

Now when you ask for help you either get ignored or just insulted. If you get ignored and keep asking for help, you'll eventually get told how bad you are and then get ignored some more.

Your ally's skill level is not a scale for you to weigh the worth of their life upon and the one random game you spend with a player doesn't determine their intelligence level.

STOP BEING FKN ASSHOLES TO EACH OTHER. Its not about Riot at all, its about how we act and how WE ruin the game for ourselves.

  • In Blinds and Norms, balance your "having fun factor" with your human decency and teamwork.

  • Its waste of time to argue play specifics, but if someone asks "group", "peel pls" etc, you can answer like a real person instead of a fkn dickhead, even if its a NO.

Bad Ex: "Yo Zil, its cool that you're ahead and getting kills, but you're still support and I need peel"

Zil: "You're useless just stand in back" --------- This is the general league attitude and its wrong that we keep feeding this mentality. Its ruining the game.

Good Ex: "Yo Supp, I need supp"

Zil: "Ok. You're behind though so stand back."

or

"I can't help me peel the others who are ahead"

or

"I'm fed follow me"

Or any other sentence that doesn't imply "you're bad, you're less intelligent, you shouldn't play league, you're useless, etc".

In the end we want to play and have competent teammates, but even with competent teammates we will both win and lose just like before. We are all going to win and lose games, so stop making the road to the end screen feel so fkn painful. Stop making the mute button and the report system be so necessary that we debate its effectiveness everyday.

In post game, it doesn't matter if your KDA was Godly or you were a lunch lady, STFU you aren't trash nor are you special. The chips fell as they fell so there's no need to try and blow yourself over it. There's no need to tell X person you don't even know that they should never play again because you didn't like losing. Too fkn bad child grow the fuck up even Pros lose.

-If you're REALLY confident that you know better than the person you're trying to give advice to, change your approach. NO ONE wants to be told they're an idiot right before you reach out a hand to help. It's condescending AF and makes the person trying to help look like they're doing it for their own ego, not because they care. So if you REALLY CARE about helping your teammates out take the personal comments out of your suggestions.

"Ori try X move against X champ" is a lot better than "Ori, do you know what you're doing?". -------- Is it so hard to see the difference between being a dick and not?

We will determine whether the game is enjoyable or not for the future, so do you want a better rift or not?

TL:DR

You should read, its not that long Golden rule should rule the rift Learn how to be respectful and sportsmanlike: Riot won't do it for you You are neither trash nor a special snowflake so stop telling others that they are No one is SKT except SKT. SKT is likely not in your games. Try to help others as if they were your friends, not people you loathe This is elementary---- Kids don't get excuses for being jerks either If you're an adult, set the standard and act like one No one likes a know it all egotistical "teacher" trying to judge us and then give us advice after No one likes the person who thinks they can shit talk because "they're just telling it like it is". Oh really? So you're the God of truth and observation ey? There's no other possible viewpoint than yours ey? Don't be a douche, don't waste other's time trolling, don't call everyone doing bad trolls

maybe the majority of players are d***s? maybe you're just a sanctimonious player who is trying to impose your values on players who don't really want them
