League of Legends And It's Community

I've grown up playing online games. I've seen shitty people in every online game I've ever played. There will always be bad people everywhere. But when it comes to League, I've never been met with such consistent trolling, flaming, and just flat out racist individuals in all my life. 9 games out of 10 I can gurantee you'll be met with some sad individual who just wants to flame or ruin your game with shitty comments or trolling.

Again, I'm no stranger to online games, I understand the need to have "tough skin" when entering the world of online gaming. But when it comes to league it's almost like the only way to enjoy yourself is by muting everyone the moment you enter the game. It's upsetting.

Consider this a rant. After being told to kill myself, uninstall, and go fuck myself for the past few games for learning ADC I just needed to write my thoughts down. Maybe others can relate to my frustration.

ive only had toxic ppl 3 out of 50 games soooo, on a side note. report those ppl. They will get banned and this a step towards cleaning up the community. Also just mute them and don't respond

Well i mean yeah in a lot of cases you will have matches where nobody really says anything at all. But i have had a lot of matches where i was trying to have causal conversation with people just about anything or everything but somehow It always leads to someone getting butt hurt about something. Its like people in this game are clueless on how to have normal or playful conversation without losing their mind.

i have had people wanting to report me simply for cracking a joke about a CHAMP That had absolutely nothing to do with anyone directly or personally. soo if you are saying to report them then how do we go about reporting the people who are saying to report people for harmless jokes pertaining to the game itself? Because if they are getting butt hurt over harmless jokes about the game itself and saying to report you then does that not automatically make them fall in to the negative attitude category? which is also a report able offense?

i mean if i say yasuo is a panzy for only going after adc champs, because its the only kind of champ he is capable of fighting, and somehow that offends the player behind yasuo then how is that my problem? how does that give the player the right to report me? last time i checked it is not against the rules to joke about champs in the game.... Its not like i called the player himself a panzy or anyone else. It is a simple joke towards the champ.

i have had a lot of people crack jokes about rakan Because i am a rakan main. And not once have i ever took it as they were talking about me and felt the need to report them. Hell i crack jokes about rakan myself. Saying how he is clearly the bitch in the duo relationship lol.

Do you argue with people when they start flaming? I dont get all this super nasty flame that people talk about. It literally never happens to me. The only reason i can think of is i just dont take them seriously.

When someone tells me i suck i just go lol and thats about all that happens. Or i say "dont we all here in silver?". Do you flame back? Do you tell them a long story about how you made the right move? I feel like things like that only feed the flamer and escalates their level of flame. Just stop taking these kids and their dumbass video gamer bullshit seriously. Games are for fun. If you think being good at them is cool or something, youre just a loser. Why argue with losers?

i feel you when you say you think it only feeds the flamer when you try to apologize for making a bad play... I legit think some of these guys go in to matches to pick fights just so they can jack off while bitching at you. I really can't grasp that kind of behavior so therefore i start thinking of other reasons why they may be doing it....

and on a side note about don't take the kids seriously.... well stat wise it says the majority of people who play this game are in their 20's or older. soooo yeah that makes it even more scary.

Well yeah, early 20s are still kids in a sense. Thats very young and lacking real adult experience. Many early 20s are super immature, hence i generally refer to them as kids. And hence, the toxicity. Theyre kids. Thats not to say if youre 30+ youre gonna act mature. Some people just never grow up mentally.

Yeah i know what your saying. I was adding on to what you were saying.. not trying to argue it lol, but one thing i will argue is the broad comment about 20 year olds lacking real adult experience considering there are people like me who lived on their own renting from people and paying my own bills from the age of 16. So it would probably be better to add in a most in the sentence where you said early 20s are still kids in a sense lol. But for people who have always had mommy and daddy there to buy them everything and hold their hands through everything. You are pretty much spot on except for in the cases where the parents did do a good job of preparing them for the real adult world.

Ahh yeah, for sure. When you said it, it made me think of a conversation long ago where someone was arguing that 18 year olds arent kids lol. It just made me think of that so i went into full on debate mode lol. But yes I agree with you. Of course I should always preface "most" when generalizing like that. Good on you for making shit happen on your own.

welcome to league of legends... where everyone is over fueled with ego and a complete blindness to accept their own bs and wrong doings..... Did you like the introduction? Good. Now i strongly suggest you get out before you get to attached to the game play. Because the game play itself is the only good thing this game has going for it. Don't expect to be able to go in to any match talking, getting along, and behaving like normal decent respectful individuals instead of primal like saber tooth tigers. With this community you almost have a better chance of getting struck by lighting then to get grouped up with people who are all simply trying to get along. Oh btw. if you stick up to them for bullying you or others you will be told you are immature and deserve to get bans even from moderators themselves. In a lot of instances it seems some of the moderators themselves have this bully like mentality as well.

so yeah according to some of them its immature to stick up for yourself or another person who is being bullied, but its not really immature for someone to flame and start random shit with someone. i was told by a moderator that i was wrong for sticking up to the bully's and fully deserved my 14 day ban. It took a reasonable female riot employee with a little bit of common sense to realize they were indeed harassing me and bullying me and that i did not deserve the ban at all. and to this day the moderator still can't man up and admit he was wrong for trying to justify the bullies behavior and said that i deserved it all. So yeah man be careful, because some of the moderators themselves are clearly in favor of this primal bully like mind set
