Why does the LoL community suck?

Cardiac Arhaast·Jan 7, 2017·2 votes·801 views

I just started playing the game again, and in the past two days I've played over ten games. If you can't do the math, that's 100+ people. Of those 100+ people, I have reported more then 80% of them (if you can't do the math, that's 80+ people) because of hate speech, and bad sportsmanship. Whenever I play, one player or the ENTIRE TEAM is trying to put me down, blaming the DUMBEST things on me that didn't happen, or make up fake scenarios where I played horribly and did nothing and they got killed (i.e. playing bot with ashe, both were low hp. Enemies killed me first (ashe ran) and then followed up to kill her. Afterwards, she blamed me for not helping her even though I repeated that I had died first. This resumed for the rest of the game and we lost) Please help, and also, as a side note, please add a feature where if you report someone and they get punished, notify the reporter if their report was successful and what the punishment was. Whenever I report someone, I don't get any notifications that it was responded to, and feel like the 3-8 minutes I put in to it was a waste. Does anyone else feel like this should be added? And is this happening to anyone else?

Plot twist: OP is apart of the community

If you report some one and they get reprimanded they you are notified, you can't cripple an account in 1 single report so I don't know what you're expecting.

I agree though way too many people are toxic on this game, one game I played an enemy draven was a douche bag ass hole and he said "it worked in football, so it should work on on league too!"

He had the mentality that some how playing this game is a sport so he treats every one like he does when he plays sports, like a toxic piece of shit.

I think when this game shifted from being a game to a "sport" it gave the community a bad taste that they've never been able to shake.

I don't believe this is a sport though, it's just a video game.

I know I can't totally destroy an account, I just want to know that the report went through. I haven't got any notifications that my reports have been reviewed/read, so again, that makes me feel like it's a waste of time. The second paragraph basically describes all my teammates (without the football bit). Totally agree with the fourth paragraph though. I definitely agree with the fourth paragraph, people were definitely nicer before.

Just to show you people do review your reports, I literally just logged in and was given this message today.

hey, I know it's a game, but with a score like that you should expect people being mad at you, it's part of competitive gaming.

Cardiac ArhaastJan 7, 20171 votes

Yes, but that's only because they are busy arguing with me, or they're ignoring my pings. Most of those deaths are from them not helping me when I ask for it (nicely) and then when I die (because they didn't help me) they start insulting me for playing bad, when I garentee (lol) they couldn't do better. And also, the bit about competitive gaming, I don't play ranked. Just regular blind solo.

If you report too often your reports start being flagged and ignored.

Try using /mute all at the start of every game. It makes LoL a lot more pleasant, I guarantee.

SoundChaosDebugJan 8, 20171 votes

Maybe if you mass report every one on each side every game, but I honestly report far more than I give honors and I still get messages saying people have been penalized.

LimmieJan 8, 20171 votes

Well I mispoke, it's not about reporting often, it's about reporting unwarrantedly. If you make a report every game but every report is warranted, then they won't get flagged.

That said getting the message doesn't prove your report counts for anything. You may be flagged but if you report somebody alongside someone else and the person gets punished, you'll get message even though your report was ignored and they only considered the 2nd person's report.

Yeah I was wrong but at the same time I was right, excellent argument.

LimmieJan 8, 20171 votes

You weren't right at the same time, you were just wrong.

SoundChaosDebugJan 8, 20171 votes

I wasn't wrong, I am saying that's your defense.

Sure i mispoke and was wrong but at the same time I was right and you're wrong.

Excellent reading comprehension.

LimmieJan 8, 20171 votes

Except misspeaking does not entail a wrong argument, it merely entails a wrong presentation of an argument. Not that I made an argument in the first place ("If you report too often your reports start being flagged and ignored" is not an argument, it's a statement). For somebody throwing around reading comprehension, you sure suck at it. Which is hilarious I might add.

And yeah, you were indeed wrong. Getting the message doesn't prove your report counted for anything.

SoundChaosDebugJan 8, 20171 votes

I think you're just pulling pixie dust out your butt to make magic excuses, yeah even though riot replied to your actions doesn't mean your actions had any meaning.

LimmieJan 8, 20171 votes

Logic does appear magic to the ignorant, doesn't it? I guess it can't be helped then, I'll have to hold your hand through this. Ok let's get this done with.

In a game, there were 3 people, you, A and B. B was a toxic person, and both you and A reported B. Because you often misreported, your reports were flagged to be ignored. Player A, however, never misreported, so his report holds weight. The system completely ignored your report, but because A's reports aren't flagged, player A's report triggered a review on B, and B was banned. As per practice, a feedback message was sent to everyone who reported B after that game, namely you and A. You got the message, but your report wasn't even considered. Had A not reported B, B wouldn't even be reviewed because your reports are weightless according to the system.

Is that clear now?

SoundChaosDebugJan 8, 20171 votes

What's clear is Player A thinks the same as I do but is afraid to use the report system because down talkers like you make it seem like your votes don't matter.

If I report people and I get messages then it works, I don't care if it takes a long route to the destination it still gets there.

drops the mic

LimmieJan 8, 20171 votes

If you can't even grasp that hitting the report button on literally every game is gonna get your reports flagged, it's no wonder you can't even hold a microphone without dropping it.
