Toxicity on Boards and In Game
I understand people want to win a game or get a point across on the boards, but there is a right way and a wrong way of doing it.
In Game:
Right Way - "Lee Sin, please build item and see if you can get around them and knock them back to us"
Wrong Way - "My God my team is so f***ing useless. They all need to just kill themselves"
On boards:
Right Way - "I actually have to disagree, the plants seem quite balanced to me. Now, I could agree they might need some work done."
Wrong Way - "Are you retarded or something? That is not even what I am saying. Go see a shrink to help you with that mental retardation you have"
Do you see my point?
Many people have left this wonderful game because of how toxic the player base is. Now, I'm not saying everyone is like that or even that a majority are toxic. But the small percentage of toxic players are bringing down this game. With comments like Go Kill Yourself or calling people idiots or retarded (uneducated and insensitive toxic players there), it is destroying a great game that has a lot of potential of being the best Moba.
People need to take a step back, breathe, and rethink how they put what they want to say. There is a major difference from advising someone on an item to build and telling them to build that item.
As well as in the boards, where I see the most toxicity. There is a way to get a point across without being a major douche. You can argue a point without calling people idiots, retarded, or having some form of disorder or mental disease.
And those that do call people retarded, that is uneducated and insensitive. There are a lot of people out there with mental disorders who show more smarts and class than any of you. They can warm a room simply by being them.
