Some days man. I play a game as kennen and do poorly, get harassed by my team all game. Then I go into a new lobby and hover graves. My team bans him and says "fuck you and fuck that champion" when I ask why they banned him. They were a group of 4 and presumably ban the 5th guys champion every game just to bully people.

I wish you could do the following:

Mute players in the lobby, not just the game
Report players after a dodged lobby for abusive text/actions in the lobby
Add a post game report option for text/actions in the lobby, which is clearly a blind spot in the moderation system
Put a small timer on pings, so that every time I die on a team I muted I dont deal with ? ? ? ? ???? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? all around my body. I should only see a max of 1 ping per 5 seconds from a muted player or something

makes me want to uninstall and play a single player game honestly

People are complete assholes in League, but not in real life, for a couple of reasons.

The anonymity of the internet. Being a dick in real life tends to come with several social consequences. Because of this, many people learn to not be a dick, even if they would like to. Life is that much harder when the people around you don't like you. But the internet doesn't have this social consequence. When you piss someone off here the likelihood that they can make your life miserable in any way is slim to none.
Game mechanics This is a heavily team based game. More importantly, this is a game where a weak player can determine the victor just as much as a strong player. This makes it rational for many to blame someone on their own team for the loss, because it's not uncommon of an situation. The length of the game also forces players to continue what they may feel as a hopeless situation to it's conclusion.

If you know you play poorly then pick squishy stuff anyway you should be flamed.

I've been playing since 2010 I can't even play Kennen, play something else. Kennen is a toxic champion that everyone has bad memories of, and if you don't carry on it you're going to be the one they take it out on.

Don't play toxic champions if you have a thin skin, don't play squishy champs if you're a feeder.

People will be on here and be like, you have a right to go any lane any char you want and everyone needs to accept you. Don't listen to them, they're wrong.

you should be flamed.

regardless of what champion people play, you cant except every single game to go well. It's not a free ticket to harass people when someone goes 3-7. I can't believe what I'm reading... There are no conditions which warrant the things that were said to me.

Dude you're a Kennen main. Kennen is a screaming ninja rat that is annoying to lane against. I main Singed and I don't cry when people flame me.

If flaming bothers you, play Malphite and Amumu. All you gotta do is land 2 ults per game and people will think you played well.

I'm not a fucking kennen main I played him like 10 times in normals. I don't see how that should matter anyways, that's ridiculous. It does not make unsportman like conduct acceptable.

Stop getting boosted to gold if you can't handle it. Higher your elo the more toxic the game is. Plus your gold border draws haters. Just play off meta shit in high silver if you want a lower profile. No one likes gold elo kennen players, your fault.

Do you not find it ironic how you are acting right now in a thread called "why are people such absolute shit"

Morality CoachOct 15, 20161 votes

I'm telling you what the deal is. If you want to be sensitive that's your choice. If you can't accept any form of rebuke then you aren't a man yet.

If you're a pussy don't play Kennen, simple. No one is going to be nice to you while you feed on toxic champs with a higher ELO than average.

You are telling me it's ok to break all player behavior rules set up in league if one is playing a champions you don't like, or is doing poorly. Is that what the deal is? Just want it to be very clear

I was 0-2 on kennen in normals and was told to kill myself and that I'm a fucking retarded %%%got. You second this? You want to say it to me too? You seriously, honestly think, that this sort of verbal harassment is not only acceptable but expected?

I can't even decide if you are just trolling me here right now. No one can actually believe the things you are saying. Yet, I am talking to a league player so who knows.

I want you to picture yourself regularly calling people retarded %%%gots and to kill themselves in real life. Just throw that out at pretty much everything/anyone you don't like. Do you think this would work out well for you? How is it different in a video game to say this sort of shit

only difference is people know they can get away with it with zero consequences and reputation loss

If this happens in ranked then I understand because people are playing hardcore to win usually.

in normals, its morally reprehensible.

rtbf76109271Oct 15, 20161 votes

You think it's fine to harass people doing poorly when you really want to win in ranked? Really?

ping spammers are frustrating.. wish they fixed that. also heres some advice.

hover a different champion besides what you will want to play.helps you know what kinda people you are about to play with. especially less contested champions.

Its a team oriented game that judges you solely off of win/loss. So you are punished for your teammates playing poorly, which is something you cannot control. That is the root of toxicity in League.

I agree its annoying having to deal with kids acting like r****** don't even take the games seriously and creating trolling / griefing not just on League but other MOBA feels the same way I know the word is not nice to say to people but truly playing games today i have had junglers constantly running into my lane and feeding / throwing lane phase in two games, and another game where Top laner comes bottom and trolls hardcore just staying in lane all game. The guy pings like 15 times it seemed like till I had to mute all and turn off sound.

But its not just League, I say the same about the Real World, Everything that goes on both Military, and Political Wise, feels like a big joke to me, the Idea of the Justice System, in my eyes there is no such thing as justice or courts in the Real World, because a person who commits the same crime sometimes gets a different sentence like Life in Prision vs Execution, my way of seeing things is "Everything" Should be the same for the most part " Same Laws" "Same Rules" problem solved, but unfortunately it wont be like that until the New World Order Conspiracy comes true.... Its the same way I feel about League in so many ways or other MOBA no such thing as justice or teaching anyone without drawing it out on paper for them.

IMO imagine a game, or real world where All Laws are the Same and a type of system like in Stargate the TV series where the house is held accountable for another family member breaking the law aka the goa'uld punishing other of the same family, it would be so much better, Life without crime and ignorance, but again that just me. I feel the whole world has evolved from the Dark Ages into the wrong path.
