I understand that life is hard and you need a release, but have some of you noticed that the game is making you more angry than released?

Please calm down, it's just a game. We won't always win, we simply try our best. Others will even go out of their way to make you lose, and that's something we all deal with from time to time. If this game isn't making you happy when you play it, if you are feeling more anger and unhappy when you are playing it then when you aren't, perhaps it isn't the game you should be playing.

Sorry but that is bullshit, And I am REALLY fucking sick of hearing that excuse used as some sort of free pass. League is a competitive game, Yes a game, But a COMPETITIVE GAME! and for people who have NO interest in taking objectives, NO interest in taking towers, No interest in helping thier team win...need to get off the game. I just got off a game where my adc REFUSED to even touch the tower. They would take the farm, take the kills, but then ignore the tower. They would walk back to thier tower and wait, or go back to base and get more items just to wait by the tower. At no point were any towers even touched. But the moment I suggest "Hey we need to stop farming kills and take a tower, I get the weak-ass excuse of "chill, its just a game" as some sort of dismissal. And the comment after that proved the player was not interested in winning "If you want to win so badly you should go to comp (she meant competitive/Ranked) People use the "Its just a game" bullshit as a free pass to dismiss criticism. If you arent actually interested in taking towers, Then You are just dead weight. And I, as support, am not required to go out of my way to save dead weight.

Again, Yes...It is just a game, But it is a competitive game. if you want a relaxing casual game then i suggest uninstalling and go play a facebook game or something, or go back to angry birds. I am sick of losing games because people are too lazy to bother with attacking towers and then use "its just a game" as a way to give themselves a free pass. Time to start letting the dead weight fall away, dont come onto a game that requires a team to take OBJECTIVES, then spend 40 minutes casually sitting back to farm minions and kills while ignoring dragons,towers, and the nexus. Or maybe you plan on going to a NFL/NBA/NHL game and telling them "Hey, Its just a game, stop trying to win so much" "Stop trying to win, its just a game" and see what kind of reactions you get.

Very true. People seem to forget that this is a GAME to be played for fun. The fun is in the playing, winning or losing is just simply a byproduct of the game. You will lose 40-60% of all games you play. Why care so much about losing one or two game or even a streak of 8-10 games. You'll run into a streak of 8-10 win eventually.

Relax. It's just a GAME.

Oh the look on your face when this thread back fires on you.

Angry people aren't the problem. Malicious people make angry people. Kick out the angry people and you are left with malicious people.

this is a difficult topic. but i'd say follow the rules riot made. no matter the gamemode the rules are the same. "not trying your best/to win is against the rules."

its as simple as that. people that clearly dont give a fuck, make stupid plays intentionally and say "its not ranked" are breaking the rule of trying their best to win and thus should be punished. if you disagree, then go and ask riot to change their rules.

I'm still wondering why they even have perm bans for norms anyway I would have thought perm bans would be ranked only since norms are just fun goofing around and not having to worry and to practice
