im here to ask did riot do any effort to explain to all his playes what pvp means? in the dictionary logic pvp games are NOT chill out games , does this gmae is under chill out game so i know im in the wrong game . pvp = action intense competition chill out games = facebook candy crush games are we on the same channel here? coz every freaking singel game i have 3 out of 10 players r ruining the game coz they r chilling. than why they r in pvp game if they want to chill? i watch lots of streams and pro championships i see pro players reactions they get intense and they r in pvp mode , i dont see chillout players, so why dont u just take a fixing steps to make ppl understand if they want to chill they dont have to be in pvp games other wise they r gonna get punished , like the same logic u r using agains flamers , its ok to chill in pvp games but its not ok to point it out its called flaming, no1 flames for no reason unless u read some 1 writes " chill man its just game" and he was like 5 min afk at start coz he went to smoke , why didnt u smoke before queueing, no he likes to que get in game go afk 4-5 min comes to chill and waste 25-30 min and the game , ofcours he is behind in lvl farms and score 0-5 .... the same freaking drama, and u point it out u get chat ban. btw these kind of players ONLY exists in this game , i never see players do this in CS go online , in world of warcraft in smite and all other pvp games . coz the system is more logic, it protects the pvp players over the chillouters

PVP stands for "Player Versus Player", meaning that the matches are set up that any number of human players on one side of the game are matched against an appropriate number of human players on the opposite side. Some games (like For Honor, for example) tend to be a little lenient about the exact definition of PVP (using For Honor as the example; swapping out players who leave a match with AI players to ensure the teams are equal), but the definition of it is basically; Player versus Player.

The definition of PVP does not include any stipulations about whether it's a relaxed experience or a high-stress competitive one.

And while, yes, Ranked is to its own degrees a competitive gamemode, at the end of the day, League - Ranked, Normals, ARAMs and all - is a game, meant to be enjoyed. And if people enjoy themselves better playing the game chill, then that's their prerogative, and you simply have to deal with it.

...so why dont u just take a fixing steps to make ppl understand if they want to chill they dont have to be in pvp games other wise they r gonna get punished...

Why should they be punished for enjoying the game? It's not against the rules to not be 110% hyper-aggressive, throat-ripping competition.

Nobody's going to want to play League if they're not allowed to enjoy the game. If you don't want to deal with people who want to play the game to relax and unwind, get a premade together.

...its ok to chill in pvp games but its not ok to point it out its called flaming, no1 flames for no reason...

...Are you trying to use the word "chill" interchangeably with "troll"?

'Cause that's not how that works. There is a dramatically stark difference between playing to relax and trolling. If you're taking those two things as synonymous, then I'm gonna tell you; you are wrong. Relaxing =/= trolling.

pro championships i see pro players reactions they get intense and they r in pvp mode , i dont see chillout players

You are 100% wrong here. Pro players don't get to be on teams if they're rageaholic hotheads. You absolutely can be competitive and enjoy yourself at the same time. You can absolutely be focused and in a good mood at the same time. Those who make it to pro teams are there not only for their skills, but because of their attitudes. How often do you think a dude like Sneaky spends flaming his team?

Win or lose. Faker doesn't change his facial expression and is cool as a cucumber.

Just because they are chill doesn't mean they aren't competitive and don't want to win. It just means they have their emotions in check.

Meh, people have different definitions apparently. Pvp games= player vs player. "Go fish" is a pvp card game. Its a game in the end. You can be chill and win. Idk what you mean by chill, but if youre not chill while playing a virtual game in the comfort of your own house, thats your perogative. Im not gonna freak out and sweat over a video game. Chill to me means calm basically. I can be calm and try my best at the same time.

i watch lots of streams and pro championships i see pro players reactions they get intense and they r in pvp mode , i dont see chillout players,

there's a difference between professional competitions with money and prestige on the line and solo queue

that's like comparing boot camp with iraq

in the dictionary logic pvp games are NOT chill out games

Just because something is not X does not mean it is necessarily the polar opposite. Also, just because the dictionary doesn't define something as necessarily X, doesn't mean it cannot be X.

A building is not defined as being a restaurant. That doesn't mean buildings cannot inherently be restaurants.

PvP means: Player versus player. It doesn't mean chillout game, it doesn't mean action packed game, it doesn't mean puzzle game, adventure game, RPG, or whatever else. It just means: Player versus player.

Everything else you throw in there is your own perception of what a PvP game should be, but it is by no means any sensible definition of PvP. I mean, by your definition… what happens if Candy Crush allows you to play against other players?
