This community is full of trash

bow2ursensai··4 votes·797 views

Just as an example:

Was playing a game earlier this morning and get queued with someone who tells me he "hopes my dad dies", so I don't want to play video games online with him anymore and leave game and get LeaverBuster and 20 minute queue time for that?

Bye riot, it's now clear that LeaverBuster is a robot and you won't even get someone to read chat logs to figure out why a person would afk out of a game... This is just one example, but the density of the toxic trash that take this game and their ranking too seriously and will harass their team at the slightest mistake has become unrealistic in number.

And to those of you who read this and all you can think is "There's a mute button", think about it this way. If There's a loaded gun on a table in a room where you don't like someone, do you have to shoot that person? This is a team game where communication is key, this is why I would not recommend this game to anyone, because it's full of awful people who you would be required to mute just to finish the game. And there doesn't seem to be anyone moderating to a degree of usefulness.

Yes, there is a mute button. Also, there is a report button.. And a text box where you may type details as to why you pressed the report button.

Yeah and in order to get there I have to endure however-long of a match with someone who is being absurdly rude? What fun!

No one said it was fun.. What alternative do you propose?? Rito cant know IN ADVANCE that someone is going to be rude and pre-ban them...

TBH I find the toxicity overblown. maybe it's because I play more normals. But really it isn't that bad for me...

Every once in a while I get some trash talking aholle.. and even less of a once in a while I get some guy who rages or trolls... But it's a small percentage of my games.

You still made the game an even worse experience for the other 3 people still in that game. Leaverbuster doesn't apply after only one occurance, you have to do t several times.

And besides that (going to my first point): you still broke the rules. Do you somehow think that because you got harassed it puts you above the law?

Mhm because as I was about to reinstall, I check this post and thank you for reminding me that theres just so much garbage and "I-wonder-how-old-you-are" type of stuff and people like you who just make this game suck.

^this lovely community of gamers

Just because its the internet, kid, doesn't mean you should behave differently towards other people. You and I and everyone else on this internet are all humans so why treat other people like shit... just.. because?

FrankerX1 votes

i dont behave other in any way. you just called me kid because i told you how 95% of the ppl behave on internet. see you break your own rule, or do you call ppl irl kid if they give you advice?

bow2ursensai1 votes

You just did dude, you're being rude by trying to get a rise out of me with your initial comment, lets be ALL THE WAY REAL here about this. Its the internet and I know a troll when I see one so yeah I'll call you a kid as I please when you give me reason to

I mean you call that advice? Work on your people skills dude

the best advice you will ever get on the internet is: to ignore. just because you think you are so mature and cant work with a "kids advice" is not my problem. majority of the internet community has no problems because they can work with that advice. if you cant thats your fault man.

Of course it is. Riot has to mix trolls with people doing their best or else you would be where u belonged playing fun games and it would be trolls v trolls in the bronze silver clownfest. After a month of nothing but 5 v 5 troll games where they are in a race to see who can throw/intentionally feed the hardest the trolls would stop caring and stop playing this game. RIOT would lose their business!?!? And THAT is the only thing Riot cares about.

Leaverbuster is there to catch people who afk. You ruined the game more for your other teammates by leaving. Better course of action would be to mute and report that person. Then you wouldn't have gotten punished and you would have helped catch the offender.

DeloricVI1 votes

Man does this point out how entitled people can be in this community.

Look, if you leave the game, it's in the rules; you're going to get picked up by the Leaver Buster, and you just ruined your team's odds of winning. You think that annoying asshole who wished your family members ill, or said something crude was bad? They can ignore him and play the game. You ruined their game by making their chances so slim 4v5, I wouldn't blame them if they surrendered at 20.

And what's this shit about reading chat logs because someone hurt your feelings and you don't want to play the game? You think Riot has enough employees for this shit? You think any company has the resources to open up a "butthurt afk player" department to investigate people picked up by the Leaver Buster? Wow. This game is free, and, yeah, it sucks that there are so many toxic players. Hell, it sucks that there are so many players that ruin your ranked games by doing some shit like full AD Garen bruiser top or whatever off-meta shit they think actually works these days. But it's part of this game, and you're the one breaking the rules to a more severe degree. It's easy as shit to get someone suspended for being toxic or chat restricting them. There's a report button at the end of the game after you hit the mute button. There's no excuse for leaving the game other than an emergency or poor planning, and I see neither of these being a problem in this scenario.

If you want to leave, fine, I don't want some easily offended child ruining my ranked games because he afk'd when his feelings were hurt.

I mean you could call it butt hurt or whatever but check this out: I have no idea how much time my father has left on this earth, he was born with a chronic disease, he had a stroke a few months ago and he needs a machine to help him breathe and a feeding tube to help him eat. I mean its not like I expect you or the other guy to know all this stuff, and Its not like I went and cried into a pillow after he said that shit to me, but I sure as hell didn't want to help him win his game for it? I mean I just didn't feel like it; I was kind of offended, man. Its crazy how I'm the bad guy about it too. It blows my mind. And you're telling me that that is just the nature of this game.If that is true, then why isn't there a turn off chat button in options or a mute allied players button? at the very least, and I feel like, riot could do SOMETHING. I mean going thru and manually muting my team every single game just in case to take no chances, I might as well go do something else, you're right. As a matter of fact I think I might go to school, get a degree in programming, make a game of my own, and actually ban trolls and not punish people for not wanting to play with rude people and/or help them win.

"I want attention" was all I read.

I wouldn't even go as far to say that you're a bad person for leaving. Sometimes a comment can really get to you, or something irl actually does come up and you legit need to leave a game.

Just accept whatever consequences that causes. If you don't normally leave games it won't seriously affect your account. That's all you need to do.

I suggest you talk to someone you can trust irl about these problems because you won't get sympathy or support on the league boards for the feelings you are trying to express.

You think that's bad? This community has been worse to me. It was my fault for being an irresponsible, stupid guy for mentioning it, but when someone hoped that my mother got cancer, I told them, "Too late; she already died of cancer, you ass."

Did that shut them up? Hell no.

His response was, "Good. I hope it's genetic. I hope you get it, and die, so you don't ruin any more of my ranked games." And you know what? Cancer killed both of my parents. So that made me feel twice as shitty.

And did I leave to teach him a lesson? No. Did that make me AFK because I couldn't handle it? No. He ruined my game, both in ruining my fun and losing the game for me, making people argue in chat more than play the game. Did I leave? No. I get it. People have triggers (one of the only times I'll use that word, as it's appropriate in this situation) that make them feel bad. But, the problem is the rules. Both of you should be reported. I'm not saying that all the toxic people deserve to get away Scott-free, but I was pointing out that Riot doesn't have the resources to investigate every toxicity report with the diligence that they need. Hell, I've seen some chat logs that are easily taken out of context, even if everything else makes me think the ban was deserved.

Bottom line is, Riot provided you the tools to deal with these people in game so you can report them after. They're doing what they can. The reason you get punished instantly is because you didn't use the tools given to you, and you broke the rules in a way that they can easily punish you for. The reason you got punished is because you left. The rule is clear, and Riot doesn't have the resources to process reports for toxicity like you're implying they should.

Not to mention, does this toxic dipshit deserve to lose the game for being a toxic dipshit? Probably. Do the remaining 3 players deserve to lose for his actions? No. He hurt one person; you hurt four by leaving, even if one of them is an ass.

It's been like that for a while, nothing new.

So what if they read it? Nothing legally justifies your action. We sympathize with you, and we agree what you did was morally justified, but the action itself is against the rules no matter the cause, reason, or circumstance, and understanding what happened does nothing productive.

Yes, someone went out of his way to break the rules to harass you, but that doesn't mean you can break the rules in however way you deem fit in response. Sure, riot's leniency allows ppl like that to stick around and cause undeserved sufferings, but just because you can't rely on riot to provide a blissful gaming experience doesn't mean you can disregard their rules in order to earn some comfort. I'd say if you can no longer bear with this community, just find a different game.

Mhm. I guess. I just feel like more could be done. I am going to have to find a different game then if everyone has just learned to spread it like this.. I mean look at this, you're all saying "get over it or leave" lol

Look at what you people have become

You say "the League community is trash" to the League community...

Your analogy is what's trash. Muting someone isn't the same as shooting them
