Just... don't.

Feel like banning that champion your teammate has declared because you lolnexused their account and you think they're terrible?

Feel like banning that Champion your teammate declared exclusively because someone played bad as that Champion in your last match?

Do you want to run it down mid and intentionally feed your ass off because some schmuck banned your favorite champion?

Got the urge to rage and spew filth from the orifice that is your mouth because your bottom lane keeps feeding?

Ever feel like going afk just because the first 5 minutes of the game didn't go your way?

Just... don't!

It's a really simple concept, and your account and teammates will love you all the more for it. You won't get banned, you won't get chat restrictions. A little bit of self control can go a long way.

Remember, just because those other 9 players have no idea who you are in real life, it doesn't make it any less hurtful.

Good luck out there on the Rift!

There's a common misconception that your skill level determines how manly you are, which I find kind of hilarious. There's also another misconception that talking crap on the Internet is manly. Both of those assumptions drive people to be jackasses on the Internet. I've been called fat many times, which is funny because I'm actually quite toned now after a few months of working out and eating healthily. But I guess they found my profile picture on my LoL profile.

Sorry but if I see my teammate wanting to go Yasuo top with an average KDA of 3/10/2 and 130 cs I'm banning it

I have banned my teammates intended pick before. It's certainly your right to do it, Riot has stated that you can do as you wish with your ban. If I see you're locking in Sivir and you went 0/16 with her the last 5 games you played, then yeah, I'll ban her.

My reasons for banning the champion are irrelevant, I'll ban a champ if I so chose. Perhaps I don't want to face them, maybe they're a contested pick or perhaps I just want to play a game without seeing a Thresh for a change.

Do you want to run it down mid and intentionally feed your ass off because some schmuck banned your favorite champion?

This is actually reportable/punishable, banning your teammate's intended pick is not.

Got the urge to rage and spew filth from the orifice that is your mouth because your bottom lane keeps feeding?

Again, this is reportable/punishable, banning your teammate's intended pick is not.

You can "feel like" doing whatever you want, what you actually do with those feelings is what speaks volumes. If you afk, that's reportable, if you feel like doing it but don't actually do it then that's just fine.

Please stop trying to dictate what I can and cannot do with my ban, it comes across as self-righteous and patronizing.

Also worth adding to the list;

Don't.

I think using the mastery indicator when you make a good play is acceptable. Otherwise, why would it be there? All it really says is, "I'm really good at this champion because it's my main, so that's probably why you lost there."

Although I do use it ironically as well—when I'm up against a Thresh and I get hooked twice in a row, for example.

I think little things like that are acceptable within the bounds of sportsmanship. What wouldn't be, I think, would be using /all chat to BM them or taunt them.

Good list, though. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

If you feed, of course you're gonna get insulted fool. It's your fault on the combat. Also, I really trolled a game when someone banned my intent. That felt good.

I'm surprised more people don't use the 'mute' function when playing this game. League of Legends with chat disabled is so much better of a play experience.

Can't help but spam emotes and mastery every time you kill a specific enemy just to rub it in?

I do this if I feel like it. Simple as that. Everything else I agree with but I know I don't have to, I know I don't need to but I sure as hell want to. >:)

Notice how you said just because those people don't know who you are in REAL LIFE, doesn't make it any less hurtful? Real life. The fact that it's an anonymous stranger on the INTERNET, which people don't consider "real life", really should make it less hurtful. They don't consider you a real person , and you should recognize that and consider it less hurtful because they aren't even real people.
