Why do we have post game chat?

LegacyDAP·Mar 3, 2016·4 votes·956 views

Almost all the experiences of my post game chat are either toxic, or nothing is said. The occasional 1 in every 300 games I play is like. "Good job guys, that was a close game, you're all honored for such good sportsmanship."

I just see no point in post game chat. An example of 50% of post game chat.

Ahri left the room. Thresh left the room. Tristana left the room. Nocturne: report udyr for verbal harassment Nocturne: ty Jinx: lmao Jinx: pussy Nocturne left the room. Jinx left the room. Zed left the room. Udyr: because i shit on u too hard Udyr: :^) Fiora: %%%%%% %%%gots Udyr left the room. Fiora left the room.

I pretty much get this most of the time, just stupid unsportsmanlike every game in post game chat, whether it's on my team or the enemy team.

By the way the only thing I did with the chat is replace the names with the champions.

It doesn't happen often, but post game chat is where you meet some neat people after the game to reflect on how you played. Often this is a member from the opposite team, who you haven't been able to talk to all game.

It's great.

Like I said, it's very rare though. I just don't see the point in having it, if toxic people with chat restrictions can type all they want in post game chat.

I agree it is pretty rare, but it does happen. Remember, League is a community and it is hard to have a community without chat. Likewise, it would seem odd to play a game of anything without being able to talk to may teammates and opponents after the game.

I play frisbee, soccer, and improvise with players in a band. I can't imagine not talking to them about it after the fact. Why should League be any different. Players who violate the rules of the game need to be dealt with in an appropriate manner, but disabling the system for everyone isn't a very targeted approach.

Because when you're with a team in real life, there's repercussions for saying "I kicked harder than you in sokr, lol. GG noob."

In LoL, you can say whatever you like and go on about your day, never having to worry about that person ever again.

Agreed, though I can't tell from the tone of your post whether you agree or disagree with the original idea. Regardless, just because you can do it with repercussion, doesn't mean you should. Despite really enjoying the game and the interactions with a majority of players, I have found the behaviour of some players to be quite disturbing. Kohlberg's theory on the stages of moral development says a lot about this. According to the theory, these individuals are operating at the most elementary of stages, in line with the behaviour formation of young children. Worth looking up.

Most of my post game experiences are like that. Would you like to know the most OP strategy in this entire game? Naming your account after small fluffy animals. No one wants to be mean to a cuddlykitten :) so everyone is always nice to me and tells me helpful stuff. My game experience is usually so positive compared to most people's I've learned :)

This is a really interesting insight. Looking back at the original poster's username, dapcutscene, although not explicit, the syllable structure and connotation surrounding the word "cut" could perhaps, on some level, suggest aggression. This could make an interesting study regarding player behaviour in online communities.

The cut stands for how edgy I am :^) Just kidding, on another note I want a name change.

OksanaandjoyMar 4, 20161 votes

Ha! And I like your subtle request for a gift :D

LegacyDAPMar 4, 20161 votes

Oh, that wasn't a note for a gift, that was just me wanting to change my name. All my friends say it's stupid.

It doesn't apply to my name... I get flamed so hard sometimes

OksanaandjoyMar 4, 20161 votes

Interesting. I'm sure there are a number of factors that contribute to people misbehaving.

Post game chat is another system that Riot has created and MAINTAINED which encourages toxic chat and behavior. The other is all chat. Both have no purpose but to provide another way to be a toxic person.

During the game you don't have access to your in-game stat info. In post game chat you can have discussion after reading everyone's stat, like, support trashtalking how his dmg is higher than ap carry or junglar claiming he placed more wards than garen support...o wait that doesn't show anymore.
