stop being a bunch of sensitive 12 year olds...this is a COMPETITIVE GAME. IN COMPETITIVE GAMES shit talking should be ALLOWED. if you're trying to compare league of legends to sports then u should know that in ANY pro sport there is a BUNCH of shit talking so your argument is invalid. i could name a bunch of hall of famers that were known for their shit talking and the fans loved it and the players would even get in on the shit talking. it just comes with the territory. shit talking makes the game more fun because now both teams got something to prove. this whole mentality of reporting because a player said "ez" is pathetic, just get gud

if you're trying to compare league of legends to sports then u should know that in ANY pro sport there is a BUNCH of shit talking.

Are you a professional player? No, you're not. Even if you were, you have to adhere to the rules that the sport sets for it's players and if you should fail to follow those guidelines there are penalties.

You mentioned pro sports: In the NFL you're not allowed to stand over your opponent and taunt them after you hit them/tackeled them. If you do you will receive a 'personal foul' for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' and cost your team 15 yards. Same thing applies for excessive celebration following a touchdown. In League, you're allowed some back and forth banter, but the moment someone tells you to stop, then you need to stop, that's how Riot has defined the rules. You don't have to like it, but you should follow it---if you don't then you need to prepare for the consequences.

shit talking makes the game more fun

Fun for who? You? Perhaps, but maybe someone else doesn't view it that way.

There are other people besides yourself that play this game. Some people are just working guys in their 20s or 30s that came home from a long day and just want to play some League, they do so to relax as it is a video game after all. After putting in 9 hours at a job the last thing some people might want to see is some teenager that lives with his parents talking trash during their leisure time activity.

Personally, I don't care, but I'm a reasonable enough human being to know that some people do care---if someone talks a little trash to me, I might give it back to them, I might say absolutely nothing which actually tilts people even more at times. However, there are boundaries and you need to be respectful of those, that's all anyone asks.

Understand?

Short version of his comments:

Current professional sports hold players to behavioral standards as well. Excessive taunting, hate speech, etc. is punished through in-game penalties. Enough can get you dropped from a team.

Not ALL players find shit-talking fun, and those that do may prefer a lighter sort of shit-talk. Many players play merely to have fun and relax, and getting shit-talked at during your leisure time can be a frustrating and disheartening experience. You have to be respectful of other players.

P. TAUNTING If a player blatantly taunts an opponent, a technical foul shall be assessed. The opponent WILL NOT, automatically, be assessed a technical foul. His behavior will be the determining factor. Simultaneous taunting is a verbal altercation. Verbal altercations and unsportsmanlike conduct will be administered as a double technical foul and no free throws will be attempted. Technical fouls assessed to opposing teams during the same dead ball and prior to the administering of any free throw attempt for the first technical foul, shall be interpreted as a double technical foul. A PLAYER(S) GUILTY OF TAUNTING MUST BE SINGLED OUT AND PENALIZED. If a previous unsportsmanlike act has been committed and if this situation is BLATANT, a technical foul must be assessed and the guilty player(s) must be ejected.

From NBA rulebook

I give no respect for anyone like that. Here is a story of how you earn my respect. My respect goes to the sophomore wrestler I saw get screwed out of a state championship because a mistake the ref made. His coaches were coming out onto the mat to have an argument with the ref and he told them to sit down while shaking his opponent's hand. Not only did have have the composure to stay calm himself when it was clear to everyone that he won the match, he also was a bigger man than his own coaches.

Respected by whom? And the excessive trash talk is but one reason why the NBA is quickly becoming niche sport. 56% of Americans do not follow the NBA at all.

Humiliating your opponent isnt shit talking. And humiliating opponent is one of worst offenses u can do in sports and players were banned for several games if caught doing it.

GG EZ is unsportsmanlike conduct and every sportsman that does it is shamed for life.

There is a difference between casual and excessive shit talking.

WeatheredJul 15, 20174 votes

Shit talking is entertaining when their is a big crowd and a popular rivalry between the famous players that is fed by the insults.

Shit talking is not entertaining when your sitting on your computer behind a summoner name telling strangers to kill themselves and that they are worthless.

Know the difference.

shtmlvbsJul 15, 20171 votes

9Wly9oMl02Jul 15, 20172 votes

And if you've ever played a sport, you would know that players don't say "ez" after the game lol. Just saying. Didn't exactly disagree with your post until then (and I don't even get mad someone says gg ez). Literally, the only athletes that would say "ez" after a game are the bench riders. Everyone else is "gg" and save the shit talking for during/in between games. So get yo JV ass outta here with that.

Also, there is no rule whatsoever against shit talking in this game. I literally do it every single game. The thing not allowed in this game is harassing teammates or using hate speech. Neither of which are tolerated athletic sports either. So your comparisons fail there as well.

As a side though, don't use the word "cringe". It literally makes you look like you live in your mom's basement and have a neckbeard and probably playing champions like Riven and Vayne.

cringe is the appropriate word for these losers because watching these players have a hissy fit over "ggez" is indeed cringe. Also the majority of people in this board just complain about the stupidest shit ever lol.

No, you don't. You most likely get punished for harassing your teammates. Again, I shit talk my enemy in about 98% of my games and I'm fine. There's a difference between shit talking about harassing teammates. If you don't understand the difference, I'd suggesting switching out of your business major into something more intellectual.

No, cringe is a word used by neckbeards.

A) You still live with your mom if your temporary residence is a dorm room. Look at your license. Plus, it's summer, and as far as I can remember, training camp hasn't even started for sports, so you're more than likely writing this from your mother's basement. B) If you think dorm life is hard...I don't even know what to say.

Again, "ez" is said by the JV kids. Who basically aren't even part of the team. So if you're gonna compare LoL to an athletic sport, make sure you played first ;). Also not sure why you felt the need to put a ' in mfs...it's plural, not possessive. Lack of a basic grasp on the English language makes your post even more laughable than it already is.

There's a huge difference between someone saying "Nice ult" in /all chat when the enemy team misses an ult, or saying "4 champions for one support? Bring more next time," and harassing the enemy team.

There are ways to razz the enemy team in a way that is humorous or can be perceived as a part of competitive play, and then there is pointless griefing and harassment. Calling out the community for being soft for not being able to handle harassment does not make a good case for the point you are trying to get across.

Don't try discussing issues with Riot, they'll ban you! It's also unreasonable to try to discuss logical issues with employees who have an IQ barely large enough to maintain breath. All you can do is laugh at them and their cringe-inducing attempt at removing ills from society by pretending they are all morally superior. Best thing you can do is leave the game like me :) Even though they never got a cent of my money, it's still funny to think about people who do pay these odd people for producing pornographic skins then banning accounts who say "get rekt garbo". Poorly run company with an even poorer attempt at being the police of a non-police-able issue. Leave the game and let them ban each other until the game dies :)
