People who take fun modes too seriously need to calm down

Like Legend of the Poro King. I told everyone in the Champ Selection that I was going full AD Garen. I warned I wasn't going to be a tank. Things didn't go well and a Fizz, who was doing even worse than me started talking shit. How I was trolling, how I shouldn't do this there, how I should do this only with other 4 friends, how he wasn't having fun because we were losing, how it was my fault that he was dying so much because I made him "not even try anymore." Like damn I was trying my best. I didn't troll a single moment. I played seriously with an unusual build that I wanted to try and have fun with. But instead this person, and then followed by the rest of the team, turned it into a no-fun situation with their actual harassment.

Poro King is a fun mode just like URF or Doom Bots. Unless a player is going afk or actually trolling to die in purpose (like Fizz was actually doind after blaming me of doing it) just sit down and try to have some fun even when you lose.

Those people should really never play fun modes.

Try Hards ruin every extra mode sooner or later.

Trying to play something quirky and fun? Good luck when the enemy team just wants to pick Meta and stomp!

I tried going Rageblade Nami yesterday, enemy team was Morgana, Lux, Brand, Panthion, and Jax.... Who just stun-lock murdered someone every 4 or 5 seconds... fun...

I tried machine gun Lulu, Enemy team was Illaoi, Blitzcrank, Nautalus, Mundo... And Kat.... Wall of un-killable meat walls march forward while kat just waits for the perfect moment to jump in and get a quadra... fun....

And prolly my absolute favorite! :D

Lux, Morgana, Varus, Ezreal, and Amumu.... Combo of the first 4 throwing all their snipes forward constantly, half the time into darkness, and Mumu locking down anyone who tried to engage... We still won... 50 mins later... but seriously I see more "WE WANNA WIN HARD!!!!" comps in Poro now then I've seen in regulars for months!

This actually happens all the time. I actually find people rage less on summoner's rift in the standard 5v5 than in ARAMS, and the fun bonus modes.

I get that winning is fun, and losing isn't always an enjoyable experience in and of itself, but people typically at best have a slightly higher than 50% win ratio to begin with, you're going to lose, and if you're not having fun with the game even when you're losing, what the point in playing it?

This is especially true for these fun game modes, if you were in Ranked and someone got kinda pissed at you for going full AD Garen, I could understand the frustration, even in normals, but on an ARAM, in URF? Some people do really need to learn to relax and enjoy life.

Not quite sure why this thread get downvoted.

Using unusual build isn't against rule, only when you are intentionally feeding.

Pretty much why I don't even bother with "fun" modes. A lot of times they're even more toxic than ranked.

One For All was a disaster.
