How I reformed. Drastic measures

Winters Dawn··1 votes·314 views

I lack self control, weather that's imature or pathetic when it comes to beimg behind a monitor amd keyboard when Someone is being "stupid" it is hard for me to not ask then "why are you the way you are?" In real life I'm not like that, far from it. But at one point after my 14 day suspension I accepted this. No matter how much I tried game after game of subpar players, feeders or trolls I would type something. Nothing like pre suspension me would but I'd still say something,

To me this was frustarting. I dont like being that guy but again I have little self control in that area. So I took a step to help myself. I removed both enter keys from my keybored and rendered that slot inoperable. I find other ways to communicate. Pings obviously. Pinging a teamate then an item I think they would benifit from.

Sure i use to use chat to say "hey lets baron" but more often the negative out numbered the positive. And there are other ways to say lets do baron without text.

Bottom line is this has helped. Now knowing no matter what happens no matter who flames me without thw ability to say anything back my initial frustration fades so quickly and I refocus and concentrait on what I need to do to win the game.

The 14 day suspension helped me realize I was on thin ice. But this step has helped me focus on myself and be a better player/teamate overall

I did something similar - i disabled the function of the enter keys, without removing the physical buttons. It helps - to a degree. Im still toxic, im just not capable of letting most of it out.

I wish riot'd just let us disable our chat capability instead.

Ah, but the point isn't for you to reform, the point is for you to get banned and shell out more money to level up a new account and obtain champions etc.

Nobody's forcing you to buy anything in this game.

If we're going the money route, increasing reform means that a player is more likely to be a long term player. If he keeps his account, then he'd be more likely to buy material. He'd also be less likely to dissuade others from this game.

of course not, they're just banning people and making it much harder to level up. as well as continually increasing the number of champions you need to own to be viable. So no, you don't HAVE to buy anything, unless you want to do well.

Heh, there's no question it takes a lot of time to get all the champs without shelling out some dough. It's a bit sad, to be honest. I think I've played a cumulative total of 20 days and I'm still lacking about 20 champs. Further, they're eventually doing away with runes and rune pages.

At any rate, if you're dead set on being toxic, this champ cost is not a deterrent; however, it's incentive to have good behavior.

Such as cutting the xp needed to lvl 30 in half? Making runes free?

And, you dont need more then 4-5 champs to be viable. 2-3 would almost definitly suffice. Small champ pools are better for climbing - experience beats counterpicks any time.

And last... I strongly doubt that people who just got a perma think "lets make a new account and spend money!!!!".

Did you get banned once? Sorry, but there is no great plan to get more money from banned players, they just are total douchebags and get kicked for that reason alone.
