Face the truth: this will never be a valid excuse. The world has been operating without the "eye for an eye" rule for centuries for a reason.

The world would go blind otherwise.

Ah shit, I just lost one of my eye!

LexyyJul 30, 20171 votes

Good. Lose another one, too.

Are you alright? Maybe you should go see a doctor, you might have the flu.

LexyyJul 30, 20171 votes

At least try to be original....

Whenever I see someone's chat log and they just go;

XxxDankestMemesxxX: FUCKIGN NOOB XxxDankestMemesxxX: Lol you suck bro XxxDankestMemesxxX: Dude I'm challenger kys XxxDankestMemesxxX: KYS YOU BRONZE SHIT

Like dude. Doesn't matter if you had some troll on your team, you were freaking raging and just saying shit that wasn't cool. You mute/ignore them and then report them at the end of the game. Trolls are just looking for a response and you open yourself up to being a punching bag when you flame. It's so annoying to see the flood of people wanting their ban to be overturned because they are just responding to a troll/flamer.

You aren't any better then them if you are responding to them.

Thanks for posting this!!! I've just discovered this board and I'm loving it!!! It's juicy with salty drama...Not even my own group of friends is this entertaining when something goes down (and we are all gay so we KNOW drama). XD

And just before you think anything of me, I am genuinly thanking you because this is very much what I've been thinking with pretty much every post on here. I'm not joking or being sarcastic :)

Wut?

Have you seen countries outside of the US?

Particularly, something region with one word starting with M. The next word starting with E.

zPOOPzJul 27, 20171 votes

wouldn't you still have one other eye...?

DrugothJul 27, 20171 votes

The whole point of the phrase is the fact that the whole eye for an eye thing is cyclical, what goes around comes around.

zPOOPzJul 27, 20172 votes

I see joking in serious thread is not advisable

You'll note i didn't downvote you, it was not necessarily clear you were joking, thanks for clearing that up for me lol.

Not if they took your other eye in exchange for the eye you just took. And then you take their other eye. Then they take a third eye... if you're Yi or Jax.

I used the line earlier today, but I'll be one of the first to admit it's pretty cheesy and cliche.

What he said (that it's not a valid excuse) is true, but for a different reason. The easiest and best defense is to mute them. An analogy could be someone coming at you with a knife or gun. You can defend yourself, but if you have the power to make their weapon disappear and their fists become harmless (or just make them walk away), there's not much reason to fight, is there? That's why being toxic against toxicity is never a positive thing in LoL. There's a better defense, always.

Nice scarecrow and generalization you have there, you have a future in politics my man.

If it was "eye for an eye" it would mean take LP from his account as a punishment for his behaviour, flaming a troll is more like of a cry for help since NOBODY is having fun flaming a guy that's intentionally ruining your game unless you are playing a non SJW game and you're friendly flaming just for banter, but this is the current year after all.

Imagine this scenario: you (the player) invite some people for a tea in your house (the game) and they suddenly find an excuse like "i don't like your table xd" and they grab a chair and start smashing everything, the windows, your tv, other furniture, everything. As soon as they start you yell "NO! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU CRAZY? STOP IT, STOP IT NOW YOU RETARD!", immediately the door breaks open, it's the police that heard the screams. You walk towards them and say "oh thank god officer you're here, i need your help, RIGHT NOW". The officer punches you in the stomach and makes you drop to the ground as you spit out blood, they start hitting your head with a nightstick and you hear them mumbling nonsense about your behaviour being unacceptable and being "toxic", even if you don't really know what that buzzword means. They then pull you forcefully up and then bring you to their car, and as they are dragging yourself out of your house you hear them saying to the guys that are still destroying your house "We are mortified, that toxic piece of scum was ruining your enjoyment, we are deeply, deeply sorry, hopefully that won't happen again".

And you get dragged away as you see those guys laughing smug at you and moving on the next house.

"Heh, if you were strong enough they wouldn't have chimped out and destroyed your house, but be careful because if you hit them we won't go this easy on you" "If you don't like having tea with people like that, just invite your own premades or abandon this planet"

Oh, by the way, it's thanks to people like you that politicians are eating caviar while you're eating walmart food, but you don't care because you had a juicy steak just in the last few days right?

I think your anger there runs a bit deeper than the occasional troll in League. Also your comparisons made absolutely zero sense.

Oh no, it's just me having played since season 3 (heart of gold was still in the shop) and of the 2100~ games that i have played i can say that less than 200 were actually enjoyable games without trolls or retards, i have NEVER ever saw a community THIS garbage, 98% of the player that know below 0 about the game despite being of medium difficulty and getting simplified year after year, and that's just counting the BAD players, not counting those that do it on purpose. FAQ: Q: Then why don't you just stop playing the game? A: I learned it so much and so well and in depth that i would feel all my efforts and experience wasted if i had to stop play it, and besides that, the game is fine by itself, it's the random players that you meet that are nothing more than garbage.

Q: That's not possible that 99.99% of the games you meet trolls A: Yes it is, i'm just not a lucky person myself.

KaiokoJul 27, 20172 votes

That's unfortunate I started in beta back in 2009 (Force of Nature was amazing on my tanks) and can say that I typically enjoy 2/3 games that I play.

Firstly, let me address the elephant in the room here. In what way is my post a straw man? You know what the definition of straw man is, don't you? Otherwise you wouldn't be accusing me of it, right?

Toxic is not a "buzzword", it is a kind of behavior that gets displayed occasionally, whether it be provoked or not.

Caviar? Gross, I don't care how expensive it is, I'm not eating raw fish eggs, they can have their caviar lol. But seriously, people like me are responsible for the government having more money to spend on food? What? Are you serious?

I believe in "An eye for two eyes" the one who took my eye deserves both of theirs taken!

As for reacting to flamers/inters/toxic etc. I just ignore them which doesn't let them be acknowledged or show they are getting a rise out of me. Or I passively belittle them like the child they are or are acting like.
