so i am new to league of legends my friend told me about it and told me about this character named ezreal so he let me play a game of bots on his account (i would like to not say his name for security) and so i liked him and decided to make an account!! I just recently got ezreal and lately ive been seeing the bad side of League Community, I am a little confused but i am seeing a lot of people saying "dude your bad" and "dude your mom liked me last night" and it seemed to bother me i am 15 years of age and yes me and my friends goof around on discord we talk trash to each other but i have never flamed someone on a game. I am a little surprised these people get away with this and also the comments of like "Honey" "Sweetie" "Babe" and stuff like that kinda bother me when it is aimed at me, idk if it bothers you but it bothers me cause i dont know this person that saying this stuff and everything and it kinda weird and i dont like it and to me games like these muting people make me feel like i just shut off apart of the team which will make us fail and so i have no clue what to do is there an option to report for this pedo' kinda stuff or do i kinda just have to deal with the harrassment?

Honey, sweetie, and babe are commonly used words like dude and bro.

Often times it is a female saying it with the honey and sweetie, and they say it to males and females. Babe is just tossed around like candy at a 4th of july parade in the united states.

Often times if you just ask them to not do that, people will listen and try to respect your wishes

I would assume that is mostly to do with even the thought of if someone likes you makes you nervous. This is just what i gather from how you have presented the information.

You also seem to be one of those overly nice people, that always puts others first......

My suggestion to you is that if something bothers you, request that they not do that. If they continue, then mute them. It does not hurt the game, seeing as quite a few do a "/mute all" at the start of the game. Everything that NEEDS to be communicated in the game can be done via pings except for more complex things like explaining to someone questioning what to build...... But since your fairly new, i suggest focusing on yourself first before you try helping others unless you feel comfortable enough to give your opinion. It does not even have to be a popular opinion, just yours. They can take it or leave it.

As for the uncomfortable about the word useage, people will say things how they are comfortable saying it. This will include things that you do not normally hear, because of where you live. The "honey" and "sweetie" are pretty common in the southern culture (united states southern, like texas for example) and while it is done outside of there, that is just where i normally hear it from.

The very purpose of the mute function is to MUTE people. Unmuting someone after a few seconds is kinda defeating the purpose, wouldn't you agree?

And why the hell would you feel guilty about it? Mute them, and report them after the game for their toxicity.

When you get the (rare) message that your report was the final one to issue a punishment, congratulate yourself for your contribution to make this game a better place for the community.

Welcome to League!

That title is kind of misleading.
Thing with internet and anonymity os no one actually knows anyone's details unless shared.
The dude you're bad/ your mom things could also happen playing CoD. It it sad that people say these things but once again; internet.
As previously mentioned the babe/honey/sweetie is more used as an affectionate term or an attention grabber. It is also a good way to maybe raise a team mates moral. (I play supp. Sometimes after a bad play I will tell my adc "I believe in you bb." or maybe after a good play. "Way to go bb. <3")
Negativity involving Ez. I am not sure nor in a position to check stats, but I think Ez is out of meta and many people are kind of slave to such things.
Check the report options and read under each category. I want to say one deals with harassment.
Hello fellow Panda.

My first advice would be to look up and understand the definition of pedophile. You mentioned you don't know them, so I have to assume you don't know whether or not they are adults. Also,, while those terms may be uncomfortable to you, they are not necessarily harassment by themselves until you mention that you feel that way and ask them to stop and they continue. Document it (screen shot) report it and allow Riot to do what they do. Pedophilia is a serious crime and also a very serious accusation. I would suggest not just throwing it around without understanding the implications.
