Why do people say that the game is for babies when they get restricted/banned for flaming...

When its the exact opposite? You arent acting mature if you flame, if you cant act properly you have no place in this game or this community. Its not about people not being able to handle flame, its about you acting respectful towards other human beings.

They say this because they are frustrated.

People who lash out to what they perceive as "toxic" in a game with their own toxicity are most likely the same people who have some self-control issues. It's not an indictment of them as a person, it's just that they lack the self-control to use the tools in place and instead chose to act out.

For these people, it is easier to believe that other people are the problem. By blaming external sources/other players, they can rationalize their own behavior and keep acting the way that is easiest for them instead of the way that is more appropriate for a game involving nine other people.

In short, it's part of human nature. Some people are just predisposed to engage in "external attributions".

"toxic" behavior isn't flaming necessarily. its just a word people use to threaten others to comply. I play a lot of game, you can simple have a different opinion than someone, or point out a mistake and you can be "toxic" and they will report you.

It's not the act of pointing out a mistake. It's how you point it out.

Many of the posts people make here are them claiming "I was just pointing out a mistake". However, when the logs get posted, it's clear that they were not just doing that. They were cursing out, insulting, and otherwise verbally abusing their teammates. That's what will get you punished. Not just "pointing out a mistake".

because they believe that they shouldnt have to go out of thier way to change themselves as a person. when there is a mute button. and while i may not agree with it. there is some truth to that sentiment

All "toxic"(god i hate that word, used by sjw's and preschoolers) behavior is triggered by something that happens in the game. For example, if you're 0-11 don't expect to be told "You tried your best! And thats all the matters!". Lately all I've been seeing is people trolling and feeding because Riot validates it due to them being flamed for doing poorly.

riot cant handle anyone saying bad words because they want a group of retarded pre-teen virgins they can control to do whatever they want, i.e. banning anybody over 18 who will tell someone to fuck off because they're being annoying.

Doesnt it seem more mature to just mute/ignore someone, rather than throwing pointless insults around?
