Arrogance achieves NOTHING

... makes you look like an even bigger idiot for losing. None of the low ELO players seem to get that no LCS player behaves like an arrogant douchbag in game and yet people continue to be that way. I have seen nobody use the in-game emote system for anything other then trying to annoy the enemy team. I knew it was going to be misused in this way and this is exactly why we cannot have a good community.

You can mute the emote system (which I do every game) but there is currently no option to turn emoting and chat off in the options menu for every game. I do not understand why Riot cannot employ just this basic form of functionality that nearly every other multiplayer game has. There is no option to automatically mute ALL players when you enter a game and I find this lack of a feature to be a somewhat suspicious practice by Riot, who stand to benefit from growing amounts of toxicity in the game due to banned players making new accounts and rebuying all their skins that they had before.

Back to my original point. I have never seen any LCS player openly mock the enemy team during a game or call each other or the enemy names or other insulting words. I have never seen any LCS player swear at teammates or the enemy team in their native language so they think that they can get away with it. (I must thank Riot on this because this actually helped teach me some German/French/Spanish/Turkish because I was sick of people doing this, its the height of bad manners)

So why are people so obsessed with their K/D/A and their "skills" with a champion. Skill can only take you so far, League is a team game and you only fully reap benefits cooperating with your teammates, even if they are pugs. I just do not understand this. If I got a pentakill with Fizz, that doesn't mean my team did nothing to help me achieve that, it wasn't me on my own and it would very rarely be a situation like that. League operates on a system of creating predominantly unfair match-ups through communication and a system of "gang warfare" to outnumber an opponent in any one lane. A lot of the time, the skill of a player is irrelevant, as with 4 man tower dives, doesn't matter what the enemy does, they can kill one person, or maybe two but they are GOING to die.

If you choose to play this game (particularly as an assassin), you MUST respect the fact that your team is equally as important as your own mechanical skill. It just seems a lot of people are incapable of understanding that.

Oh, puh-leaaase. We all know this is just not true. Not to mention the challenger YouTubers who make fun of other players on their vids and leave their nicknames out in the open, free for their viewes to harass them.

This is something assassin mains are physically incapable of.

I've seen pro games where they are at the nexus and some of them try to kill the spawners instead of finishing the game. I've seen them flash their team over their head during games after plays.

Yeah I Have had numerous games where I "as a support" see the team not pushing towers, just sitting back and farming kills (or trying to anyways) They will take the kill recall to base return to lane wait for next kill back to base return to lane repeat infinitum They will not ONCE even advance towards the enemy tower.

Yet when I as a support who has been struggling to take down my own lane tower ask "can you not just farm kills, take the tower as well" I get told "stfu and do ur job, support" or "stfu ur >Insert K/D/A here<" as if its some magic discussion-ending, drop-the-mic response.

Guess what, fun fact: Spitting my KDA back at me DOESNT MAKE YOU RIGHT. Talking about how you "cant carry this trash team". You know why you cant carry the team? because your head is shoved so far up your own ass you cant see the tower right infront of you. The only way to win is Nexus, The only way TO the nexus is THROUGH TOWERS. Having the most kills on an OBJECTIVE BASED GAME means....PRECISELY FUCK ALL. I keep having to repeat this, but kIlls in league is like dodgeball, The goal is the towers and Kills hit them with the ball. Thus forcing them to sit on the sideline so you can take thier towers UNINTERUPTED. Bragging about your kills is like bragging how many times you struck your opponent with thrown pieces in a GAME OF CHESS, It does jack all to help you get the checkmate.

As A support, go into games with ONe main thing. If you act like an arrogant douchebag. If you act like you are too good for the rest of your team. Then I WILL cut you off. I will not support you, I will not heal you. I will not run to your aid. Why? Because if you think you are "too good for this trash team" then You shouldnt need to benefit from things like Heals, shields, revives, assists. If you think you are so good you not need a team. Then dont cry and throw a fit when I call your bluff.

Or you could stop taking a game so damn seriously. Talking about LCS players n shit... come on. No one gives a fuck about an LCS player. As if they're idols and role models cuz they're good at a video game. You're right that being arrogant just makes you look like an idiot, so I dont know why you would take the time to make such a long post about it. Do you really believe your own words? Cuz if you did, I would think you would think of this as just a pure waste of time. Obviously they're getting under your skin, which is probably their real goal.
