Focus On Your Game, Not Your Chat Box

Seriously, I'm tired of playing games with little cry babies who think they are better than every other player in the entire world.

Stop wasting your time talking in chat.

No one cares who is bad and who isn't bad. No one cares who isn't doing anything in fights. No one cares who is useless on your team.

No one cares how much you hate your ADC. No one cares how much you hate your Support. No one cares how much you hate your Top Lane. No one cares how much you hate your Jungler.

Stop pressing Enter. You have Pings, if you have something important that needs communicated you don't need to be typing.

You can't use abilities while you are typing. You probably aren't moving while you are typing. You probably aren't CS'ing because you are typing. You probably aren't focused on the game, because you are typing.

STOP. JUST S-T-O-P.

No one minds having a good time with their teammates joking around, but when you are tilting yourself and everyone else on your team, it's time you realize that you are causing problems and it needs to end.

Watch your mini map. Focus on your cool downs. Keep good positioning. Remember to put wards down. Think carefully about what objective should be prioritized. Forget about your teammates. Set an example.

Control your rage. Throw away your hatred. Win your game.

You don't need to mute anyone. Forget that Enter even exists. There's no chat box.

Smite on CD? PING. Enemy Flashed? PING. Enemy dead? PING. Need to back for an item? PING.

It's your game to win, or yours to lose. Stop blaming your team. Stop flaming your team.

Take control and accept your responsibility to do your best.

I'd say this is good advice, but let's not forget having fun also.

Well, usually if you are doing your best you are having fun... unless you are getting goon squad by a 5 man pre-made. xD

I disagree with you here, why should I or anyone who has never been punished or warned in-game have to have chat taken away??

because even if you aren't being toxic. there is very little reason for you to be typing. period also. you're a bots only player. people rarely report for anything in bots except hardcore inting or slurs

is this a poem? what is this format?? XD I totally agree though!! its loads easier to climb in league if you just ignore chat or mute people. If you spend time typing essays to your team mates then your not focusing on the game itself and your really blowing your chances at turning your losing game around.

I know I KNOW people say things that are infuriating AND YOU JUST HAVE to defend your honor!! but no you don't. Hit the mute button or ignore them if you truly can and leave them thinking about what they said. I've had so many games turn around for my by muting people and focusing.

I know I should follow these rules and I am doing it most of the time. Tough, sometime it's not possible. At some point, I tought it was Jedi behaviours that we were to follow. XD I am not perfect. I tend to be but sometime, I explode. We can't be robots 100% of the time.

But yeah, we should know to ignore more of the toxic and trolling players in League.

P.S.: Sorry about mistakes in english.

Right, and let's get rid of all communication while we're at it.

The issue isn't the people who type too much, it's people that spur them on to do it.

People who spam ping them, people who tilt them through gameplay, or tilting them through the chat.

Don't say mute, because, by that point, they're already tilted.

/ignore all and be happy.

I have never read something actually relevant when I was naive enough to not /ignore all before buying my starting items, personally.

Well, you shouldn't have to ignore anyone and honestly there's nothing wrong with talking in the chat. The problem is some people take it to an extreme where they just keep saying things that brings their team down and distracts others from playing at their best. There was a game where I was literally like 6-0-3 or something farming over 10 cs a minute and the rest of my team had double digit deaths, they wouldn't stop telling me how it was my fault we were losing and that I am a terrible player. I shouldn't have to mute these people, they simply shouldn't be saying things like that to begin with.

Even if someone did make a mistake, or a lot of them, or is just a really inexperienced player, you won't make them any better by criticizing them. The game takes time to learn and almost every game mechanic you won't learn overnight or in one game with someone telling you every single thing you are doing wrong. It's a waste of time and only irritates the other person. Much better to let them play however they are comfortable because they are more likely to play at a standard where they can succeed. They got to the rank they are for a reason, even if they can't play better they can play well enough for your team to win when they aren't tilting.

You see in the games what I want 'you' to see ! I picked this account to talk on because it is the first one I used.

Don't try to use what you see as my play history as an excuse to belittle the opinions on this board!


I thought we were talking about similar things, yet 'why are you trying to make a point this way?' :) I believe you have more things you want to say and need a reason to do so. Why not just say it ?
