League of Babies?

This community has more QQers then trolls. Kids these days have such thin skin that anything you say they will take it as an insult.There is even a board dedicated to cry babies who think Riot should get on their knees and grovel for forgiveness and ban whomever hurt their feelings. I don't take norms seriously (why would I?) I laugh at my mistakes and others because I find it amusing. The other day I was playing a Riven game, did well early game got camped and lost lane. Noc (who was the top laner) and I were bantering back and forth, just enjoying ourselves. Hell, I missed my ult on Noc point blank and I laughed my ass off, and my team just raged at me. When all the lanes lost, they started to blame one another. First it was the jungler, then it was mid, and then they all turned to me, all the while they never stopped and think of what they could have done differently. From what I recall I mentioned that they had no wards and they were pushing and got punished for it. At one point all 4 enemy players tower dived me. And how did my team react while I was getiting bukaked? They recalled to buy items, didn't push lane, didn't get a tower, nor drag. Instead they moaned in all chat to the point LB was telling me to shut up. Didn't rage, or QQ. They said they will all report me and I simply laughed and kept saying it's not my fault every lane lost. But this is the community we have. I shouldn't have to change the way I talk to accomodate people. And by no means am I trying to belittle people, I admit that I am snarky at times. But I'd never go out of my way to verbally abuse someone intentionally. Calling out someone's mistakes shouldn't be a bad thing, and you shouldn't give the excuse "it will tilt people!"; If words can make you tilt then you shouldn't be playing ranked and you need a better coping mechanism. I know a lot of people will say "they didn't ask for your advice!" which is true. But this a game, if no one is calling out what you did wrong or what you did good, then how will you ever improve?

TL:DR people need to get out of their safe spaces hugbox and learn to deal with the negatives that comes along in every online player base.

Respect? Best response ever. There is no reason not to be respectful. Laugh have fun yes it's a game but you want to win also or try to. To banter or what ever you think is ok really isn't even if in fun.

I think there needs to be a balance. Yes, there are some people who will go off when you calmly ask them to ward or fall back, but then there are people that do verbally abuse people. And I'm not talking just plain trash talk or anything.

Quick reference for trash talk vs verbal abuse:

Trash talk:

Anything about the current game Any mistakes that the enemy makes The enemy's attitude (especially if it doesn't match how they're playing)

Verbal abuse:

Anything that has nothing to do with the game (i.e. I hope you get cancer, your mother is a fat bitch, you're autistic and you shouldn't reproduce, etc, etc) (also, should note that I've seen most of these in either all chat or team chat; I didn't come up with these)

Some people really have trouble telling the difference, yes, and some of the community does need to stop blowing things out of proportion. However, you do have to admit that some people say some fucked up things in all chat, or even team chat sometimes. Overall, people play games to either be competitive or to have fun, either is supposed to be a generally positive experience, and no one wants someone to ruin their fun by getting toxic. I think that no one should play the blame game, and instead try to give advice so that a teammate will play better instead of saying that you're going to lose and it's all player x's fault.

One troll --> four QQers who suffered from the troll.

From what you said they didn't seem to go as far as toxic, nor were they qq'ing. What I'd consider as whining would be " wtf fiora op this game ain't fair pls nerf irelia". They were indeed behaving negatively as they attempted to find something to blame on to make themselves feel better instead of trying to get the most entertainment out of most situations, something that you seem to excel at.
