Why is the league community a bunch of snowflakes

You cant give someone a suggestion without him flaming then feeding even more than he already did. And the sad part is. if i get upset and say "you suck" im the one who is gonna get reported. there needs to be a ranked banning system for when players have constant negative games. so that way if they truly are bad but are still dumb enough to want to keep ranking. They cant rank until they win 10 draft pick games. I have never seen a video game community where when someone does terrible we all have to sit there and pamper him and tell him everything is gonna be okay.

You don't have to say everything is going to be okay. You just can't tell him "you suck."

It's not a binary state between insulting and coddling -- there's a third option which is to simply not engage in conversation about his performance. There's also the option to say something like "Dude -- Renekton is far enough ahead that he'll eat you alive if you go close. Just farm under tower as best you can." Does that imply that maybe he fed Renekton a bit too much? Sure. Does it do so in a relatively non-offensive manner and offer a suggestion for what he can do now? Also yes.

So you have options if you don't want to pamper him. Insulting him just isn't one -- or, rather, it IS an option, but it comes with consequences in the form of account punishment.

There also is something to account for consistent bad ranked play -- losing MMR. You'll quickly end up among players better suited to your current skill level. But also remember that players have bad streaks: looking at yours, for example, I see at one point a while back you had an 17-game streak with only 3 wins it in. Do you feel that would merit the "no ranked" punishment? I'd argue it shouldn't -- you're still the same player, and you're just having a bad run of it. It happens.

Yeah everybody that plays this game/most people in this generation are just total pussies. Gotta accept it.

Cause that is what today's society has bred. This includes those working at RIOT. Soft human beings with no discipline, integrity, self confidence or oval shaped objects in their sacs.

The problem isn't whether or not you can give suggestions.... it's about how you give those suggestions.

"you're an 0/2 adc, you suck" vs "you're at a gold disadvantage now, try to focus solely on CS and avoid trades to try and catch up so that when laning phase ends, you will be equal in gold"

I mean, the alternative is that you could just shut up.

Friendly reminder that the difference between : "The community is too sensitive for my words" and "My words are too harsh for the community" is precisely 0.

If the problem is everyone but you, then the problem is you.

Here's the issue with the "snowflake" argument:

And the sad part is. if i get upset and say "you suck" if i get upset and say "you suck" if i get upset

You see the flaw in your assessment? The people calling other people snowflakes are actually the snowflakes that can't control themselves and have to have a verbal crutch to survive.

Calling other people snowflakes is always projection.

Upvoted because trolls are downvoting the truth.

The best part is, words can be twisted so that nobody can win.

If someone is inting "he's not an inter" "maybe he's just having a bad day". When someone is raging for them 2 games a day and gets reported he's not "having a bad day", he's just a flamer

You know what, you should make chat ban optional so when people realise they chat too much sh*t they can restrict themselves before the game so snowflakes won't report them ;) #equality #leagueofSn0vwflakes

ive said a lot worse things than "You suck" and haven gotten a chat restricition so I really doubt you're telling the whole story.

To answer the question in your title, I will try to determine exactly what you are referring to...

If you're claiming they melt in moderate weather, that's false. I can speak from experience that League players do not melt In moderate heat, it takes VERY extreme heat to even get them to start combusting and burning, much less melting.

If you're claiming they're unique, then well... that's because they're human. No two humans are identical.

If you're claiming they are made by children using paper and scissors in art class, then I think you might need to find a new source for 'where babies come from', because I assure you... that's not the case.
