I'm an asshole but... is it bannable?
So yeah as my title suggests I don't deny being a prick. Most of my games I call out the players who I feel are resulting in us "potentially" or "actually" contributing to us losing the game. With this as my opening statement I feel in any multiplayer game in nature where your goal is to (win) the game, people get upset no matter the case.
There are lots of different types of people in this world, some who play games casually for fun, some who take the game seriously to win, and some who just want to see the world burn. I happen to place myself into the second category. Games are not fun to me unless I am winning, I think a lot of other players can agree with this statement. Nobody can honestly say they have fun losing. I'm sure some games can be fun and exciting but deep down inside everyone you want to win the game.
My whole point for this post is to express how winning in anything creates emotion in players. For instance if you are watching a professional basketball game or if you have ever played basketball at a competitive level or even just a pick-up game, you will notice there is shit-talk and banter that takes place on the court. Now lots of things can be said, some things vary in degree but almost everyone could agree that if a professional NBA player were to start talking shit to players on his team, and tell them they sucked and they needed to do certain things so that they had a better chance at winning nobody would find any issues with this.
I'm sure some might be offended at said things, but if one of these players were to be ejected from a game or not allowed to play for 2 weeks for saying anything I had said in my screenshot, I think there might possibly be an uproar from the community. I mean there were no racial slurs, vary few vulgar words, but overall everything I have said in my screenshot was based solely on the game and a certain player.
My whole point of this post is to argue this, we are not playing a professional sport. We are playing a video game online, with people we don't know, most of the time. Is it not naive and foolish to expect players to get along with everyone they come into contact with? Is it not foolish to expect to build a system based around punishing people for these experiences. And finally to restrict someone for being themselves, and expressing their own right to freedom of speech is this not against everything first world countries stand for?
I would argue that, to build a system solely against freedom of speech is not just un-american. It stands for everything that makes this world civilized and free. To restrict anyone for expressing themselves is communist in nature. And history has shown that anyone who tries to restrict and control is met with revolution and uprising. Any system based on control has one distinct characteristic. It rewards the overall majority who follow it's rules and regulations, and punishes the minority who speak against it.
In a nut-shell league of legends isn't just against the free-world, it promotes injustice, and stifles those who dare go against it.
I say to you out there who have been unfairly accused, you hold the power. And to those who follow the system and obey your masters. You are the slaves who keep the gears turning, slaves to a system that takes your money and punishes those who disobey it. Not only does the tribunal stand for oppression but anyone who stands with it. You stand for injustice, to punish those who wish to speak their minds is to punish everything that pushes humanity forward.
