and i tell them that they're a good play that makes smart decisions, is that player harassment? No of course it isn't.

Just like when somebody is mindlessly feeding and jumping in 1v5 and i happen to tell them they're morons and awful at this game, that is not harassment either. I'm just stating facts.

The first scenario is using a fact to complement someone. The second is using a fact to harass someone.

Both your statements are actually your own opinion, not facts.

Lets see what happens when we just reverse your first state 180 degrees ..

{quoted} and i tell them that they're a good play that makes smart decisions

"and i tell them that they're a bad play that makes stupid decisions"

Now lets compare that to your statement:

{quoted} tell them they're morons and awful at this game

hmm ..

looks slightly different ... your original one looks a little more insulting .. not that the reversed of your good version is any better.

yes, its harassment.

"Harassment" is too strong a word to use in situations like this. But being the guy who always says "I told you so" doesn't serve much other than to frustrate their teammates. Don't be that guy. Keep it up and eventually, no one will want to play with you.

Opinions are not facts. You may see a gold player feeding and say that guy is a "moron and awful". That is opinion.

Listen. That's not how it works If someone's having a bad game, it's really not mandatory to go out of your way to make their game worse than it already is, and disrespecting people in that way reflects very poorly on your character, as well as being unsportsmanlike and a violation of the summoner's code.

At the same time, it's perfectly fine to be frustrated by your teammates!! But when you start typing to tell them how horrible they are at everything, do you think that's going to help anyone?? all it does is add more negative energy to the atmosphere

Verbal abuse, yes, harassment No. Harassment is when you keep doing something over and over again. Its still verbal abuse.

n. the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands. The purposes may vary, including racial prejudice, personal malice, an attempt to force someone to quit a job or grant sexual favors, apply illegal pressure to collect a bill, or merely gain sadistic pleasure from making someone fearful or anxious.

By definition it's a repeated behavior. A simple statement by itself does not constitute harassment.

Why do you even have to say that when they feed mindlessly? It doesn't help your team in the long run. Makes things worse. And might get you ban in the future. Have you ever thought about this?
