What I've learned playing league

Getting upset isn't allowed no matter what happens to you. You're unable to get upset at anything. Team purposefully trolling when they're not in a full 5 man group? Can't prove they are so they're free to go. Teammates punishing each other over petty things? Nah just a new strategy there's no reason to be mad, and if you do get mad you're reported. And you can say things like "Hey we can't understand you we need some communication." or something similar that's a bad report. If you get flamed and reason back against said flame that's also a bad report. Riot doesn't like you getting upset they like you to think of everything at a emotionless thing because the game isn't fun its just a system meant to be addicting which is why people still play it 90% of the time. They don't enjoy it but it gets their dopamine flowing when they're doing good, but not enough to bring actual joy. They want to keep people in that grey little area of emotionless cycling to make sure when they release a new flashy skin that's what you see and end up buying.

You are allowed to be upset while playing League. What you're not allowed to do is inflict the fact that you're upset on anyone else through your chat or other actions.

Try to remember that this is a video game.

When you stop caring. You will find the game is so much more fun.

I've never been punished as far as I can think of, but people are overly sensitive on both the boards and the game. I do think it's a bit ridiculous you can say absolutely nothing in the chat and then get a valid report for "not communicating" with as ridiculous restrictions as there are on chatting. Luckily people don't report for that very often because otherwise it'd be a no win situation for the majority.

I've found that games with these kinds of systems that are heavy handed on the punishments are usually frustrating games in their own right with addictive systems in place. It's best to use them as a casual come and go kind of game instead of making them your every day game.

Just a little correction.

You can scream, you can yell, you can punch a drywall if youre not feeling well.

Just spare us, players, from seeing your little mental boom in chat...

You can get upset, howeve its not allowed to be toxic towards your teammates. Im playing since season 1 and ive never been banned or chat restricted. I always tell if someone do a bad play or if im upset etc. Theres a huge difference between being upset and being an as.hole

Wasn't the "Support Singed" thing just some guy queueing up support and then taking smite and and fucking off, leaving his ADC in a 2v1?

Damn. You got a strange way of learning. You can get upset. No one has gotten banned for being upset bro. Just dont insult people in chat, argue excessively in chat, call for reports or troll, and you'll be fine. You can yell and scream and be as upset as you want though. Its not like Riot is over your shoulder watching you. They only see what you put in chat. So get upset man, rage away... just dont put it in chat because im gonna report you ;)

/Mute all is your friend, OP. I can understand where you're coming from. And that's why I use this command right as soon as I get into the game! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
