If League was a real Gladiator Stadium?

Would the community members be the Alpha's or the opposite?

What type of players does this game cater to... Just wondering.

Would you guys thrive in a real Gladiator ring which league of legends is(Stadium) Or are you only good at playing video games and imitating it.

What type of player behavior would you need to really thrive in a real League of Legends scenario if the fantasy world became real.

Would toxicity still be an issue if the league of legends fantasy world existed. What are your thoughts?

I think you have a distorted notion of what happened in the Colosseum. It wasn't a place to go to show how "manly" you were - it was a place for convicts to die or slaves to spar for public enjoyment.

To "thrive" in the arena, you need to A) not be a convict that was suppose to die, and B) be enjoyable to watch. Enjoyable to watch meaning you've got some proficiency as well as some flare for the dramatic.

If you were excessively rough on the other slaves, requiring they take longer between matches to get patched up, that'd cause their owners to lose out on profits. As a result, those owners would want you removed from the arena one way or the other. If they're nice, they'll talk to your owner about it. If they're not so nice, they may stage a more serious "accident" for you.

In the end, those that stayed alive were those who could control themselves.

Well, if your helicopter gets shot down over enemy territory, the people who do everything they can to survive have the best chance of survival, and contribute the most to everyone else's survival.

The people who spend their time insulting Intelligence (who said the path was safe), Command (who ordered the patrol), the Pilot (who wasn't able to evade) are not useful. Neither are the ones who sit there crying. Crowding the radio with anything, anything at all unrelated to maximizing survival chances is incredibly harmful.

Call out enemy positions. Coordinate movement. Keep surviving.

This looks a lot like how League is moderated.

Sure, after you escape, you can bitch and moan in the barracks, officially complain to command, ask for an inquiry of Intelligence procedures, whatever.

But, again, the League equivalent would be complaining in Club, or to your friends, reporting after the game or posting to the forums. Not shitting on people in post-game.

This is actually a simple question to answer. Just look out at the real world. You want to focus on the Summoner's Rift Aspect battle, and not the reason for it. We will return to that last part later.

We are a mish mash of different types of people. "Alpha" really holds no meaning outside: Alphabets, Furry's, and the animal kingdom.

We all have abilities and skills, whether from learning or simply natural. This is actually important to remember, as The Rift is two parts; the Champions, and the Summoners. The Summoner's "control" the Champion's actions.

Most of us, including you, would most likely not be any of the champions, but the Minions instead. Dibs on cannon driving.

The same behavior as is expected. "Don't be a dick" is a pretty wide social norm. If you are being a dick, you can be kicked out of places.

The game caters to the people who want to have fun without being harassed.
