I can see myself quitting League

The Gilroy·Oct 26, 2018·1 votes·1,686 views

In the last 3 weeks 4/4 people that I asked "Do you play League" responded with something along the lines of "Not any more, makes me rage, can't deal with the amount of idiots and the coin flip q's"

And I thought it's not all that bad until I realized the bullshit that is honor levels restricting Ranked rewards. Sure I understand "Oh you have to be positive, create a good experience for everyone else and not make anyone else have a negative match" It doesn't matter that they get to ruin your experience and make you have a horrible game and night because how poorly they play and their decision making fucking your whole team over and over and over. That's bullshit when it comes to Ranked. If you're trying to climb rank, and you constantly keep getting garbage rng, top laners that feed and int and run it down. Junglers who do nothing and give up kills, mid laners who lose their lane phase and let the enemy mid laner roam all over with no pings. And we're not allowed to say anything? You're not allowed to comment on their play-style or ask them to do something differently, you have to shut up sit there and lose another game thanks to other players in your game which won't have any repercussions. And if you work your ass off and magically pull a win out of your ass and carry them, they get a free win for being horrible and inting and losing but they get promoted when they should be demoted. There's no option to blacklist someone so you don't ever have to play with them again. And if you do speak up and speak your mind, your honor progress gets screwed over and your work and progress gets stripped from you. Freedom of speech is non existent in the game, you're not allowed to say what ever you want.

1 random garbage matchmaking putting a horrible player or 2 in your game and your night is ruined. Doesn't matter if you put on a face, be positive and tell them to do their best while they give 10 kills to their opposing lane because at the end of the game after 15-40 mins of bottling up your opinion, that same idiot leaves the game and doesn't honor anyone, and you get fuck all honor towards your progress. Or some asshat decides to skip waiting for stats and not honor someone. Even if you don't get a chat restriction or some other bullshit, they slow down your honor progression if you type literally anything that can be seen as negative in the chat.

Spent months playing progressing getting better at the game trying to get to plat and higher rating, but guess what? None of it matters because this stupid new fucking honor system gets to regulate who gets rewards based on their personality. Fucking swell.

I wish you could see yourself doing that without needing to make a post letting the forum know about it...

I'm still waiting for an argument explaining "how will flame improve the situation instead of making it worse due to the added drama?"

Freedom of speech doesn't mean what you think it means

that same idiot leaves the game and doesn't honor anyone, and you get fuck all honor towards your progress. Or some asshat decides to skip waiting for stats and not honor someone.

Honors are gifts you receive because Of how plaesant you were in the game. You are not entitled to them just because it ended in a win.

None of it matters because this stupid new fucking honor system gets to regulate who gets rewards based on their personality.

Freedom of speech "the right to express any opinions without censorship or restraint." weird sounds pretty accurate to me.

Honors are not gifts, they're they're fucking cinderblocks on players feet keeping them from rewards. I didn't give a shit about honor, I don't care for a symbol above my name after a game... but to take away peoples fucking rewards for doing well in the game because they they weren't as pleasant in the game? Fuck no.

And no, even if you're super positive and nice to people doesn't guarantee you get honors.

Shouldn't have came to look at responses, knew kids like you would comment

"freedom of speech" only means that the government can't arrest you for what you say.

but riot isn't afiliated with the government

riot is a private company

riot had you agree to a term of service agreement when you made the account in which it says that toxic language is a no-no. you also agreed that you should be punished when you break that agreement.

your freedom of speech isn't denied when you're punished.

freedom of speech=/= freedom of consequences

Fuck no.

it's riot's call, not yours, since it's their game. if you want rewards, you need to have honorable behaviour. and it's not difficult to do so. at all.
