Does unsportsmanlike really need to be a report if unskilled was taken out?
Why is unsportsmanlike a report? It doesn't affect the game what so ever, if anything a little taunting makes me play better, to show them that it isn't "ez" or that i am better than they think i am. The results of "tilt" as people put it is on the player, it really doesn't affect the way the game is played. In my personal experience many times people that poke fun after a kill or a fail flash end up losing because the person that died or fail flashed wanted to show that it was just a mistake, a fluke, a one time event. I understand sometimes trash talk "hurts peoples feelings", but thats life you cannot do anything competitive without that happening.
I think people have a skewed view in league. Lets say you are at the park and get into a pick up game of basketball. (any team based sport) There is going to be trash talk but you wouldn't mind all that much because you only play one game maybe two so it seems like its not that bad. If you were to play basketball all day, just just game after game after game, with different people, the trash talk per game is the same amount of on average. Its about the same in league.
If "unskilled" isn't a report anymore"unsportsmanlike" shouldn't be a report either. These are the same thing, one is play and one is chat. Which one affects the game negatively more? Someone going 2/11 because they don't know what counter-picking is. Or someone saying, "lawl nice flash, gg ez".
