Stop calling -everything- you dont agree with trolling.

I keep seeing it over and over people in this community so petty and self-involved that -anything- that doesnt revolve around them is considered trolling. They water down the term by calling stupid shit 'trolling' Someone doesnt play who YOU want, they are trolling someone doesnt build how YOU tell them to? trolling. YOU dont approve of THEIR summoner spells? Trollerific! Someone takes a kill you called 'dibs' on, better ban them for trolling.

Its the same with "griefer" "Inter" and the other oh so favorite Buzzwords. Someone doesnt sacrifice themself on your command? they call you a griefer. you die for -any- reason, regardless of conditions, you are labeled and reported as an "inter"

This community has become so petty that they water down the words to the point the words should be considered a badge of honor. They may as well be, they have less and less significance.

The more you try and call someone a horrible troll because they build in a way YOU dont approve of, the more you make the word more and more meaningless

I already take the label of "Troll" as simply "You dont do what I tell you like a good sheep" what other words do you want to render meaningless?

You get called a troll because your builds don’t make any sense. It’s really that simple.

I mean if somone plays in a way that makes there teammates not have fun its griefing and if your support building full damage without any utility that is also griefing so no you can't always play or build the way you want without it being not being griefing.

people say you're trolling because they want to believe you aren't actually that bad or dumb, it's them being nice, i'd take the compliment and try to improve if you want to stop seeing it...

What if, and here me out, what if they play Trundle? Can I call them a troll then?

I do agree that the calling out of trolling is bad. Which inadvertantly leads to poor troll detection in general.

The sad part is that in most cases if the sheep just did what i said it would usually be a free win. Rip.

To be honest with you, I'm the kind of player who almost never walks into a game with a clear cut plan. I'll pick my champ and set my runes to something but I'll always improvise. I think I've only been flamed with assumed and verbally implied "trolling" like....twice this entire year. They'll ping my spells or items, I'll ping em right back. They don't wanna ask, I don't have to answer. I don't think it's as severe as you're making it out to be however.
