Soft Inting is the Future

Let's give a round of applause to all the people at Riot who helped pushed this into reality.

Now this is just my arm chair psychology but when you make a system and rules in an attempt to eliminate all flaming what do you think is going to happen?

I don't think most people flame for the sake of flaming. They flame because they are angry. Now whether that anger is warranted or not is a different matter. The point is someone is angry.

Well now assuming the angry person isn't stupid, how would said person communicate this anger to another person without using words?

Why just soft int the person.

As long as you don't do anything blantent like running it down or some shit then you are pretty much golden.

Did people soft int before for others reasons? Idk probably

But when you can't flame a person then what's the next best thing to spite that person? (or this case actually worse)

So congratulations to everyone who helped make create an environment where people won't flame you when their angry with you. Instead they try to lose you the game.

I see these threads and I always wonder:

How do you suggest Riot prove intent to punish "soft inting"?

I soft int in normals when someone on my team bans my hovered champion on purpose. I also soft int if 4 man team isn't surrendering and holding me hostage. It's justifiable imo in those situations.

The world isn't round if I never believe. Flat earthers unite!

(Just a bad game.)

first soft inters existed before

2nd theres ppl who int or soft int after getting flamed

morale of the story? soft int to spite a person will always be here and frankly if someone is angry cus of teammates its mostly because they did bad and he want to win at all costs.

or he is angry about a troll and in that case i have to say congrats you fed the troll and out played your self, [sg-ahri-1]

Maybe people like you are the reason we no longer have perma-mutes and self mute.

And this is why the infinite chat restrictions/perma mutes aren't a thing.
