Stay cool, Summoners!

#Hello guys, I just have a few words of motivation for all of you

I am sure a lot of you are tired of toxic players, flamers, and mean people in general. Just because you're having a bad game, or because someone else is not doing well, you get attacked with insults that discourage you and distract you, resulting in an unenjoyable game. Maybe even for ridiculous reasons, like trying a new meta or experimenting with a new build. It makes you feel like you're not welcome in the game, like you don't belong, and it makes you not want to continue, right?

You could do many things. You could talk back to them, make fun of them, flame them back, right? But with all these elements available, why choose to be salty?

I want you to try something. A change to how you interact with others. Is someone flaming you? Mute them, but don't ignore them! Kill them with kindness.

Praise them for their successes, encourage their actions, make them feel good about the small things that most don't notice, yet crucially matter.

Is someone flaming someone else? Be it your team, or the enemy team, you should cheer them up and encourage them too! Try to lead them to mute the person, to make them feel okay, it can be hard sometimes. And don't forget to continue to praise and encourage everyone, not just the hurt and the malicious, even the enemy team!

Whenever you feel miserable, tired of everyone's behavior, just remember Those who treat everyone with kindness are the real champions. You can be one too.

Work in unison to restore good morals and behavior to League of Legends!

Here is me employing described behavior in-game (I wasn't even playing that well)

It started with 2 people throwing insults at each other and being very upset, and ended with all of us laughing together and having fun as a team. I believe I played a very significant role in achieving that :)

Be nice to your peers, good luck.
