Hate the Player, Not the Game

Mickey Minaj··2 votes·862 views

It is unfortunate that I love League as much as I do. If it where any other game, the player base alone would have run me off so long ago. Instead I sit through games and read disrespectful comment after juvenile remark and shake my head. Sure i can mute the player, I can report them, ignore them and move on but I shouldn't have to be doing these things every game. it has gotten to the point where I am literally amazed when i get through an entire game and no body name calls or belittles or trash talks or trolls. I mean I'm not saying everyone should get in trouble for being upset that they're not playing well or whatever the case is and i don't want league to become censored like it is for kids or something. Mainly I'm just venting at the constant disrespect. Recently I had someone tell me that my mother should die because I didn't gank his lane enough. Now I get that some people have a dark sense of humor but it wasn't the first mean thing they said and even if I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were kidding it was still in really bad taste. The old saying is "Don't hate the player, hate the game." With league, I really can't. I'm ranked silver and I'm not great or terrible at the game but I try to be a good sport in victory and defeat but at the end of the day I am not rewarded for playing nice, and I don't see people punished for bullying. The system is such that I hate the players of the game, and that's really unfortunate.

Yeah, it's hard for me to blame them since I doubt they foresaw it. If there was a fix, I would rather them make a sort of side server to place players who where reported for toxicity a lot to play rather than banning them. Then they would still play ball but in a sort of "prison courtyard" scenario. Leave us civilized folk to play at the park. Not to sound elitist or anything. O.O

Blame sensitivity not the player nor the game. If you aren't used to being hurt then you are not ready for the real world. Man up and fight on. Nothing anyone can say or do on this game will change my life pr yours in anyway. If you can't handle some random person who can't even physically hurt you talk some trash then you might as well stay in mommies safe arms because the real world will kick you in the ass

See it's thoughts like this that are the reason people think it's okay to be rude. Just because you can be mean doesn't me you should. This has nothing to do with the real world. People play games to escape the problems of the real world, to enjoy themselves, and have fun. It's not easy to do those things when people are rude and disrespectful and ruin the game. It is, after all, a game. Meant to be enjoyed.
