Behavior: A Quick Rundown
When playing a game of your choosing, one must keep in consideration that this IS a game. The intention of this wondrous invention is to have fun, not spoil it for others. That being said, people who consistently place blame on others in games or keep harassing/making fun of people take away the purpose of this game. There should be no need for chat filters in this game, since we should all be well-behaved enough to know not to try to anger someone, hurt their feelings or make fun of them.
We all come back to this game time and time again to play it and have fun. We join up in queues with friends that live near us and friends that live afar alike. Our goal at the end of the day is to ensure that we all have a good time, win or lose. Winning is nice, yes, but losing is just a fact that the other team was better than you. Frustrating? Of course, but we must maintain composure and continue on with our matchmaking with a fresh new intake and keep positive energy flowing.
During a game, we must remind ourselves that this is only a game, meant for fun. No matter if the queue is ARAM, TT or Ranked SR. Riot has beautifully crafted and engineered this game for our entertainment. During the game, we must keep in our minds that there are people at the end of those characters, real life people who have feelings, a soul, a heart and we must not act as if we were children, taunting them making fun of them.
Lately, I have had a few games where I would say I did awful, but I kept my composure, as frustrating as it is, we all have bad games/days where we seem to can't do anything right, The real beauty is when the team realizes that and still works together to try to pull a victory, and if a loss happens, then it was still a fun game. What sickens me is when players taunt the bad ones, place blame for the entire game upon them, yell at them, scream at them, harass/haze them.
As a community, we need to remember to have fun with this game and work together, a few bad apples should not spoil the whole bunch. The end goal of the tribunal and features such as muting in chat have an end goal of not being needed anymore. As a community we should attempt rto be more pleasant with each other, have more fun in the game, and try to learn a thing or two from everyone. In the end, the team who truly has that victory screen is the one who had a fun time and who learned from the game they just played.
TLDR: Don't be a jerk, and have fun.
