Why is it so hard to be humble in victory? I just won a game and I'm reporting my teammates,,,

I get it some people are good enough to make money of this game professionally. Chances are you do this as a hobby. Stop taking this game so seriously... You aren't getting paid for it. The one's who are getting paid.. are even humble enough to realize their blessings. Take a hard look at your life and if you are gloating remember that other people might actually have better real-life skills and your ranked skill won't amount to much in 10 years. Stop being jerks to your opponents.

RL skills doesnt impact the game. Why would you bring that up? Not saying gloating is acceptable (just grab a box of tissues if thats a problem) If you're playing this game, I dont care if you're a brain surgeon, if you cant rotate correctly then your just a brain surgeon that lost us the game. Just my 2 cents.

League was originally created to be competitive. (It's not competitive anymore due to RNG elements and "Runes Reforged") However, when it comes to competitive gaming, legitimate players want to improve their skill and win games. And sometimes games can get heated because there's a lot at stake. LP, Ranking, increasing MMR, etc.

I understand that some players are egotistical or toxic, but that's a part of the competitive atmosphere. If you can't handle that than MUTE those players and only report the serious offenses. Put most of your focus on reporting the actual trolls who intentionally lose the game.

Humility is a virtue. Virtues are often lost on the internet, due to the anonymity.

They are basically just calling themselves gods and saying kys. Uninstall.

Not sure what they said because I was not in your game. There is trash talking and toxicity, if someone says in all chat hey ziggs nice ult, because I totally missed, it won't bother me I know they are just trash talking which is fine, it is apart of someone's competitiveness, but if someone is verbally abusing others for not being "good" at the game then that isn't right and should be reported every time.

I think you could have phrased this more eloquently, but I agree with you.

I had this one game where the enemy spammed via macros when they won the game. Oh boy that was tilting.

It's not hard. You don't do it, it isn't hard for you is it? The issue isn't difficulty, it's priorities. To you, integrity is a priority. To some, it doesn't matter. They could say gg, or they could say ez. Either way, they're queueing into the next game and tomorrow it's not even gonna be in their memory. So why bother being sportsmanlike? Have some understanding that just because you have a certain set of values, doesn't mean everyone has those same values. I mean I'm totally with you on being sportsmanlike, but don't get mad about it when others aren't. Just be glad that you aren't like that xD
