The community in LoL is considered one of the most "Toxic". Has anyone even thought about a possible reason? When i think of it.. there are 2 that come to mind.

1 it's more that people have no backbone anymore. This is not entirely our/their fault. This is just global society in 2015. BUT IT'S A BIG ISSUE IN THIS GAME. For example... Back in the day when you did something wrong and your dad gave you a bitchslap, you cried and tuffened up.. Now.. If your dad hits you or even tries to hit you, he gets sue'ed. Back in the day when your coach yelled at you and put you on the bench for playing bad you just listened and became a man. Now.. You either quit your sport or go to court and sue the coach for being an emotionless, non fitting person flaming younger kids so he'd lose his job.

Back in the day when a guy flamed you, you just punched him in the face.. Now.. When you see "noob" or "unskilled" you report a person. That's just pathetic.

This is what i mean, the society nowadays is like one big pampered family.. that cries when they don't get what they want.. and do everything to get what they want.

I'm not making this thread to promote flaming.. Ofc flaming is bad, unnecessary and childish. I'm just saying that when a guy says "noob", "unskilled" "stfu" and etc that you should man up and ignore it.. THESE WORDS ARE NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY CONSIDERED CURSEWORDS unless some braindead company agrees that they are.. HHmm? CSGO is for instance another big game where these words mean nothing and honestly, i could keep going on about games where it dosn't matter.

When you see ppl saying "cancer" or any kind of hurtful things, pls do report this.. cuz this is the moment when a player is not thinking anymore.. this is just brainless shittalk to another person and it should be punished.

ALSO, take into consideration that not everyone is trying to be offensive when using a curseword. I myself am pretty passive-agressive and i won't deny that i use offensive language at times. It's not that i want to, it's basically me being impulsive about a situation that occurred but couldve been prevented if ppl or myself listened. I am old enough and should be able to restrain myself but i am this kind of person for 28 years now and i just can't change like that. I wont tell you that you 'should get cancer' or "die irl".. but i will mention your flaws and missplays if you don't realise them yourself. You'll never get better if you can't take any type of criticism. I want ppl to tell me what i did wrong so i can get better.. how else do i get better if i don't even notice my own mistakes and someone else just did?

The reporting system is good, and necessary but imo it's also getting abused by the kind of ppl that i mentioned up above " ppl with no backbone".

This makes me come to the second point..

2 Criticism.. Back in they day when your teacher told you to work harder, you just ignored it.. laughed in her face but in the end you did listen. Now.. when a teacher tells you to work harder, you ignore it.. take it to the principal and tell him/her that she's bullying you.

Back in the day when your coach said you had to work on using both your feet.. you went home and trained and trained day after day.. Now.. you just don't give a shit unless you actually have some selfrespect. which is pretty uncommon :D

If i notice you make a mistake, you should be alerted.. thats what makes you better. getting info about what went wrong. Ofc if he noticed his own missplay just shut up and let it go. he knows, thats all there is too it. This is the next abuse in the report system.. Acoording to RIOT, you should NOT be notified cuz it protects pampered, spineless ppl to accept criticism and make them better in any way. when someone actually mentions your mistakes he's 'tilting'.. so if he sees the words "oh my f'ing god' thats the moment he'll press the button.. EVEN if that guy actually notified him, or carried him.. that imo is ridiculous. I'm not saying ppl that carry should be able to use such words.. but it should be taken in consideration that it's not his first language and thus uses whatever comes to mind. may it or may it not be some kind of offensive word.

the TLDR.. read it all.. Kappa Keepo

Were you banned and felt like it is unfair?

The people you describe make up a very small percentage of the population. Very few parents actually threaten to sue if someone at school says something bad about their "perfect little angel." Very few kids actually quit sports when faced with adversity.

I think the bigger issue now a days is people no longer treat others with respect. Kids used to always address their parents and teachers and coaches as Sir or Ma'am. In today's world you are lucky to even get a response from a kid when you ask them a question. Kids today think they can tell adults to go fuck themselves and don't understand that if an adult is talking to you 9 times out of 10 they are usually trying to help you with something they struggled with themselves. Kids today think its alright to tell people to kill themselves or to STFU because they can hide in the anonymity of the internet.

This isn't the age of coddled kids, this is the age of disrespectful kids. Riot has no problem with people giving constructive criticism. I've been giving constructive criticism since season 1 and I have NEVER been punished because of it. When you act disrespectful though that's where they draw the line.

No. Considering your views here, I highly doubt your criticism was constructive. Post a reform card if you wish to argue otherwise, but from what I see here, you surely deserved whatever you got.

But i wont report a guy cuz he called me a noob or unskilled.. I'd rather report him for stupidity then for being toxic if it was possible :D.

Neither do I, in fact it takes a hell of a lot for me to report someone in-game. Here is the thing though if you call 1 person a noob in one game Nothing is going to happen to you. It takes more then that. :)

Actually, having a report for stupidity that does nothing more then let a frustrated person get some of that out by hitting the report button--- then maybe it is a good ideal. I would be okay with that lol :) In fact..I would use that both in game and on here and I'd feel better haha

I AGREE and yes i am saying this I AGREE that those quotes i just made sound agressive.. but thats becuz i have no other way of explaing myself in english. Doesn't mean i'm flaming him, does it?

I wasn't meaning to imply your toxic or anything :) I was just stating an opinion.

In fact I got told once, "Get Better !!!" , I didn't say anything to them during the game and I didn't report them either. Instead I asked him to be friends and I asked for an explanation. Guess what, we talked for about 30 mins. after that game ( we are still friends) and it was one of the best pieces of advice I ever got. But, I agree some people may have gotten upset and hit report for saying only that. They would have missed a good friend and great advice, and a fun, nice partner to play with...but the 1st player would not have been punished for saying only that and I guess that is part of my point.

You never really know who wants advice and if your (anyone) is going to try to give some they should try to do so in a respectful way.

P.S. If I sound harsh then I suppose it's because of your OS sounds a bit harsh to me-- Not because I think your mean or toxic or w/e. I just disagree with some of it. K ;)

Rank/Elo-Systems attract the most elitist-minded classists/racists in all of existence...

How many times do you hear people calling out players for Not liking being insulted/ect. in game and then be accused of not having a backbone ?

Telling someone nicely what they might do to improve their game is one thing and this doesn't get punished. Being a Jerk and complaining all game does get punished sooner or later.

The people who feel the need to complain all game about others mistakes are the people with no Backbone, the crybaby's etc. The others that keep their cool during the game are the mature one's.

what does OS stand for? :D

For me I just meant Opining Statement :) Not sure what to call it really.

Ranromonium, like the way you put things :P
