Do not trash talk your lagging opponents

The Deckowner··10 votes·812 views

it is highly inappropriate to trash talk ur opponent when they are having connection issues and u had gain advantage because of it. It is already frustrating to be lagging/disconnecting/have inconsistent connection, please don't abuse your opponent. appreciate the free win u got and show your respect toward the player. You don't have to show mercy, but at least don't be that Jerk.

I generally can't tell if the enemy is lagging (as opposed to maybe just BMing me by standing still) and I like to assume that banter (and emote spam) is always friendly. If you're upset about losing because of your latency it doesn't hurt to say "I'm having trouble because I'm lagging, please stop" because most of us playing are decent people that just want to have fun and assume in good faith that other players are the same and will just plain stop when asked.

Hell, I've been the guy that stood off to the side and danced with the enemy team in ARAM because they had an afk from the start and let most of the match be a 4v4 until they came back or the enemy tried to attack me. Some people just don't WANT a fair fight, I guess.

Moral of story, you can just ask the enemy to not be jerks and often enough they will.

I personally experienced many 4v5s, and enemy(usually the guy who benefits off the afk/lagging person) will often say "stfu u just bad""GGEZ" and stuff like that which really hurts feelings.

Sorry. I can't speak from experience because if my internet is going to be bad its going to shut completely off rather than lag. If people are choosing to be awful instead of helpful I imagine they would have BM'd you even if you weren't lagging.

I like to get Ryze and Anivia in aram because I own Uncle Ryze and Bird of Prey Anivia (which I call American Eagle Anivia) and I like to be obnoxiously American in /all chat for fun and nothing is worse than killjoys that don't get the hyperbole and talk trash about America all game. Good thing I'm fantastic as Anivia and get to stomp them. I guess you can't really rub it in as you're lagging though..

Hah, better camp that AFK guy. Hah, the guy is walking towards my nexus, and has 100 hp, ima ignite him and spam taunt over his corpse. Ey, the guy joined 10 minutes late and im 6 levels above him, ill trap him under his turret deny him cs, and play hyperaggresively.

I'm guilty of bullying late joins but only if they think its okay to run mid with their team at level 1 instead of safely farming a side wave. I mean the rest of us are level 12, do you expect us to ignore your 600 hp self wearing a FREE GOLD sign running right up to us in mid while we were pushing?

It's inappropriate to trash your opponent in any circumstance.

Banter is much more light and fun.

pls do not use bitch in a derogatory fashion it is incredibly sexist and inappropriate. i am surprised someone like you who is so into "respect" and "shoulds" and "should nots" would stoop so low, hypocrite.

You do know that bitch is a derogatory word that's meant to be insulting, right? It's an insult.

Insults are... insulting.

Unless you actually ARE a female dog, in which case, good job on learning how to use a computer. Lol

Generally, my taunting only brings torture to myself (curse you jungle role!). However, if the enemy is lagging and they say it, I will more or less stop depending on how he said it. If he said it nicely, then of course I'll stop, I only taunt in light fun (read: competitive mindset) but if they say it like an asshole (i.e stfu u little *** i'm lagging u piece of sh*t) then I'm going to keep doing it.

If u dont have to show mercy then that means i can be a jerk, I mean lets be real here if a player track record could be shown on how many times they get this problem then there repeat offenders and still dont give a fack about team wether they lose or not. These poeple should get perma banned.

Trolls are real. Nothing else is real on the internet.

Of the few times I've played top and had my enemy DC early on when they get back I typically won't attack them until they are at least lvl 6, but if they try to fight me that's another story
