Let's talk about new players/veteran players.

So to begin with I'm not bagging on anyone whether you're a professional seasoned veteran in league, just starting out, or still trying to get the ropes this isn't aimed to spread hate among the community.

Depending on how many games I feel like playing (and let's face it I suck XD) People tend to be well... A-holes. Whether it be a veteran player flaming a noob for not doing something right or just in general flaming between either side. What people need to understand is that not all people have the same skill level and honestly the only way to get better at the game is PvP. (bots are okay but they won't be as effective then it would be just playing draft/blind pick)

Now I see this as a personal opinion and I try and practice champs in draft because I honestly can't stand blind pick (never get my roll or just people not actually trying) So I go draft and hope to get the roll I set my primary as. I then normally tend to suck with the champ I'm trying out and immediately get flamed for it. Now I understand that yeah your teammate is messing up and you're tilted af, but you should instead of being a douche, just help them out. Give em' tips and help them better their game and experience. (this mainly applies to new players) Veterans tend to be the ones to this and it makes the whole experience for everyone just awful.

Now of course there will always be the new players who think they're above everyone. Sadly all that can be really done is the report option or of course trying to talk it out (usually just leads to more flaming and arguments)

Basically I think for a stronger community we should all try to understand each other and realize not everyone is either a pro or "purposely" doing things. They may be trying out a new champ and you criticizing them won't help them improve their game (unless it's positive criticism and yes there is a difference between positive and negative criticism)

What are you thoughts? any better ideas? Personal experiences? comment :) ~Please and thank you :D Braum EDIT: Forgot to mention that I think that playing against actual people is the best way to learn the game/champ do to people being unpredictable and it helps you find the best ways to use your champs kit.

I wholeheartedly agree with you that blind pick tastes like licking stamps.
To prevent immediate flaming in Draft pick when trying a new champ, I play a custom or a bot game with them just to get the basics down first.
