It's been a long terrible Run Riot

Permanent Account Suspension

Herecmesthepain,

Your account has received a permanent suspension following an extensive audit of in-game behavior within recent League of Legends matches.

I will not lose any sleep over this and it's probably the best that I stay away from this game forever. Although you have succeed in going main stream with this game and globally with it. You still continue to only benefit "Pro" players over the casual players who have funded everyone single one of your paychecks prior to "Sponsors" coming around. It was the "Common" folk who had your back 6 years ago when you were trying to get off the ground.

It's no one fault but your own that you have a Free to play game that allows continuation of toxic/trolls/afk/quitters in this game that just pushes peoples buttons continuously.

I see why more and more players have left League of legends to go play DOTA2 or Counter-strike: GO or just other games in general. You pander to your "Pro' players and allow them all to Troll "lesser skilled" players into the point where they become toxic. Just watch their streams when they are on these "alts" a lot of them do it.

It's your fault you have a very broken "Tribunal" system that is now Automated and anyone can be reported for anything. You clearly only show what one person says in a conversation as compared to the entirety of it. Many times I've been on both ends of the spectrum of Positive/Team player and Toxic, and the times I was "Toxic" it was due to ignorance of other's purposely ruining the game that at the time I was enjoying.

It's your fault your Ranked system is broken and flawed. No reason for someone to go 9-1 or 8-2 in placement matches, just to be placed in a lower Division/Tier. This hidden MMR that is just as screwed up as people credit score. Here is an example: Where people are late on a payment (if they are going through a hard time or not) they are severely punished on their credit score but when they try to fix your credit it takes years upon years to fix. That's how your Hidden MMR is for ranked. When you have a stretch of bad games (weather they are your fault or not) you get punished by this bullshit MMR that is hidden from people.

If you look at my time line http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/22412212#matches I have barely been playing as it is. I was gone for 6 weeks and came back playing just 3 ARAM's and boom Permabanned. I'm sorry you have players with such "thin skin" and couldn't take any form of criticism but oh well. But I WILL NOT create another account and come back to this game and waste any more money on it.

So I wish you all the best of luck and just be-careful with what you say overall.

Deuces!

So think about this logically for a minute.

If you are routinely offering criticism to people, and people routinely respond very poorly to your criticism, is it more sensible to assume that:

A) All these people have a problem with accepting criticism, or:

B) One person has a problem with giving criticism.

You're the common factor in all these incidents. If people are, over and over again, responding negatively to the way you give them feedback, then change the way you give feedback, because your current methods are not working very effectively. Unless, of course, you weren't really trying to give criticism, and "criticism" is just a thin cover for venting your frustrations at your teammates, in which case it probably worked very well but also was likely very, very unpleasant to be subject to.

I hope that in whatever game you decide to play next, you choose to do you best to make your teammates play better by offering them constructive criticism and avoiding the techniques that haven't been working for you, or them, in the past. Good luck!

I think you're offering a faulty argument that assumes people are mature enough to accept criticism and that the person giving it isn't giving correct criticism that can and maybe should be accepted. Your arguments flawed even if your point is valid to an extent. For example, people think it's an opinion to accept global warming or not when it's as much a fact as gravity. Whether they accept the idea or not is irrelevant to the argument of whether someone should tell them it's true and that it's true.

Frankly, I find people selfish, immature and combative. 3 traits that make it near impossible to give feedback and that's doubly so about millennials (a huge portion of the player base). When I say they're dumb for running into a tower and dying 4 times in a row. They should accept that feedback and change their behavior. But most players will say fuck you and run into it a fifth time.

You can concede your defeat any time by replying to this post and gifting me a skin.

Here's the thing: if you're constantly giving feedback, and the overwhelming majority of the time it's making things worse, why would you keep doing it? Why would you keep doing something that is clearly not working? It doesn't really matter whether or not the people you're criticizing have too thin skin; at some point you have to look at yourself and realize, hey, what I'm doing is generally just making a bad situation worse.

From that perspective, it becomes clear that since you can't control their reactions, you must control your own actions.

Also:

Maybe try saying it without calling them dumb. OK, maybe they were being dumb, but saying it will not make them receptive to your feedback. As you said, it's just going to make them ignore you, or just play worse. If you're really trying to help them, you should think about approaching it in a way that will make them actually want to listen to you.

I could definitely use DJ Sona, by the way. Just throwing that out there.

You assume so much that you can't possibly accept that your argument is based purely on assumption. It's a weak slippery slope that offers no real logic other than devils advocacy. You can accept that or not. You may be right, you may be wrong. That's the nature of your argument. That's my argument.. that you're simply offering a different view of their actions without having a concrete actionable step that would lead to positive change. Your thought is just as destructive as the OP and offers nothing to the community.

I'm done trying to explain it to you. It's not my responsibility to go into each of your rants (as that's all they are) to point out exactly where your logic is flawed and your statements amount to nothing. I have better things to do with my time.

Too long, only read a little bit

Did you know that League is still more popular than both of those games you mentioned? Goodbye, toxic player.

If it was such a terrible run... why did you let is last so long?

Shouldn't it be long OR terrible but not both??

No, there's no viable alternative. Heroes? I'd have to be 12 and enjoy pve objectives more than skilled dueling... Smite? I'd have to enjoy unskilled play that amounts to snowballing BS that isn't enjoyable even as a game and any of an individual's actions result in a null factor to the game as soon as this happens.

There's a reason it's long and terrible. There's a place where a large portion of this community is stuck. It's a playable, skilled game that is fun in the proper circumstances and people want to continue playing the game part of it. There is an unacceptable mind f@ck that players pull and RIOT polices (the effectiveness of this campaign is extremely debatable) and players find it terrible to live with an axe above their head for no other reason than RIOT doesn't want to address (and has proven such) the root causes of these problems. It's not fair to say one or the other should exist. We tough it out on a daily basis because we have hope. If there was a viable alternative I'd switch in a heartbeat. But there isn't one.

So the only genre of game you will play is MOBA?

you know this is the one post like this that doesnt make me see red it makes me more mad that Riot really is pushing everyone away that was here 5+ years ago and bam since im not "pro" so my opinion doesnt matter

However from all of this SMITE is about 3x better than lol will ever hope to be ive been moving to that for a while maybe i can see you on smite sometime

EDIT: bring on the downvotes at least smite takes skill

2nd EDIT: so really a game where you have to aim everything takes less skill than a game where you click on a champ with at least 50% of ability's not able to miss takes skill........

I play Smite off and on... No it doesn't. It's basically a first person shooter with more melee.

I have thought about quitting simply because of all the cry babies in the community. Only reason I haven't yet is because I play with some buddies from work. I don't think I have encountered a more cry baby player base than the ones in League. Hence why I turned off my /All chat and mute everybody. People still cry to because I communicate thru pings lol

“I” can somewhat sympathize. It sometimes feel like normal players are marginalized and ranked just feels like it “was” made to breed contempt and anger. Many are “hoping” that they’ll back off on “the” draconian measures in how they police chats (though there IS a lot of vitriol being spread out there). Many of the people in these “quotes” don’t even say things that inflammatory and anyone “would” respond in like fashion and “say” the same things – again, these people are the minority, but they still exist.

“Something” should probably be done but few, if any responses, really give good suggestions. I guess what we’re left with is a game where you can occasionally come back with some “witty” comment or inane 3rd-grade, PG response; sometimes it works “but” it just feels hollow. “I” wish you the best OP and hope you can have fun in other games. Your post “was” enlightening, to say the least, but I’m extremely sorry you came away “disappointed”.

Don't get me wrong, Smite brings it's own style of gameplay and it has it's own charms. BUT saying that LoL takes no skill is kind of a massive slap in the face. Smites overall gameplay is pretty similar, the main difference is the point of view.
