The End of League

KidCurbo·7/2/2018, 1:39:52 AM·2 votes·1,887 views

Lately ive realized that league has completely thrown its die hard fans away. Remember the fun MOBA where you could be as toxic as you wanted? it was so much fun being able to have fun and not worry about anybody reporting you because they had a bad game. literally anything gets you banned nowadays. What a shame because league had the potential to become the most popular game. Sucks they wanted to cater to their baby audience and completely bone their stans.

No, I do not. I remember a lot of racist assholes who spent more time trying to be "internet tough" than actually playing. Shockingly enough, I don't miss them. At all.

Maybe if you weren't toxic, you wouldn't get punished?

The vast majority of League players are over 18. Most of them don't want toxicity in their games.

Oh and by the way, League is and will be for quite some time the most popular game based on reputable statistics.

Yea yea. We know the game is ending.

Now you better be off to go find another game quickly before the ship sinks.

{quoted} Remember the fun MOBA where you could be as toxic as you wanted? it was so much fun being able to have fun and not worry about anybody reporting you because they had a bad game.

I certainly do not remember that kind of fun. I remember when we had a 3rd party program on Frozen Thrones maps when DotA was popular. We'd banned those players who were toxic in our game while TDA clan was running it. We never tolerated toxicity. It was hard for these players to get into a TDA game because you had to be a certain level with a certain MMR score in order to. This was back in 2005, possibly sooner.

The internet has always been a toxic place, as all video games with open communication. Now League has this same policy, but stricter than I was when I was a MOD for TDA clan. I approve of the system and I'd change nothing.

Now, as for your claim, the game is dying.. The number of times I've seen people say the same thing over and over again for the past 10 years, seeing the League population go past 3 million players, and players says "the game is dead" because they didn't like how the character was designed or they lost their ranked games, or they were banned. Then 5 years later, another 10 million players join this game, and people like yourself say "the game is dying". Then another 2 more years we're at 25 million players are playing.

And here you are. As thousands before you have said, "this game is dying". It may be the end of league for you, but this game will be around for a very very long time for us and the company. For MANY years to come.

tldr: "i got banned, the game is dying guys!"

"Sucks they wanted to cater to their baby audience"

yet you're the one throwing a tantrum because you got punished because you think flaming your teammates will make everything better.

Funny, I keep on seeing these "End of League" threads for years and yet league is still running. It's as if the writers of said threads are incorrectly trying to pass off their dissatisfaction of some aspect of the game as something everyone should feel.

holy shit lol, you actually think you speak for the playerbase, don't you?

Oh nevermind, I get it now. You got banned and you're pissed about it so you say "league is dying" because you wish it was. Put the soap box away chicken-little. The sky isn't falling.

Go play HOTS where you can be as toxic as you want... oh wait no.... HOTS punishes you for that too. Go play DOTA2 where you can be as toxic as you want... oh wait no.... DOTA2 put you in the low priority queue with all of the other toxic players... go play HON where you can be as toxic as you want... oh wait, you can only play against AI's because there aren't enough people playing that game...

Its toxic players that kill LOL not reporting. I would be happy if I never played with someone who's idea of fun was to see how bad you could hurt someones fillings.

also where have you been for 10 years LOL is a leader in e sports and growing. riot know what they are doing ♥

I have fun. I have good and bad games. I don't get reported.

I'm as toxic as I want. And the amount I want to be toxic is zero.

Aneirin7/2/2018, 1:44:56 AM2 votes

not worry about anybody reporting you because they had a bad game

Don't own up to being toxic then hide behind "they reported me because they played badly". They report you because you're toxic.

literally anything gets you banned nowadays.

Been playing for 5 years, never been punished once. Again you're hiding behind overreaction instead of just admitting that the community doesn't want people like you playing.

how about less crybaby threads and more chat logs that you keep ignoring requests for?

get past level 30. then we can sit down and have a real polite conversation. until then.

The game would be so much more fun with out players dying while writing insults in the chat and then flame the enemy as well for killing them while typing... The game would be so much more fun with out players leaving the game once they have died in lane once... The game would be so much more fun with out people tping into a 2/0 Riven, die and blame the jungler, the midlane the support and the botlane carry for it... The game would be so much mre fun if oayers would just act in the way that is most effective to actually win...

Tesladin7/2/2018, 9:07:20 AM1 votes

Theres also trash talking which Riot does not account for trash talking, which is actually abusive:

  1. Like somene pinging me to leave their lane (because they own it...) like mad, possibly accompanied by minor flaming (mute ping needed) This is really fucking annoying, worse than racist slurs for sure. It's abuse
  2. Whining at me for taking their cs in lane when I was support, even accidentally

And other similar whining

I'm 90% certain more people leave the game due to gameplay related issues than report-related ones.
