Yea, for you. Do you not care of what the others thinks & feels about it?

It's because there is a fine line between trash talk and utter toxicity / negativity and it's been a prominent issue that people tend to cross this line, board a ship and sail around Runeterra instead of staying within it.

cuz apparently the NewGen gamers have tissue skin - anything you say that doesn't remind them of puppies, dubstep, and ponies, will rip through that tissue causing their PTSD to trigger. Then they play really bad and become "toxic". Riot doesn't want that.

trash talk and telling people they are retards and need to die in a fire are not the same thing.
