Constructive criticism when someone doesn't ask for it and doesn't want it

deadlychuck··3 votes·877 views

Two key points, with this.

  1. If someone obviously ignores or asks you to stop criticizing their gameplay or build, then continuing to do so is verbal harassment

  2. There is no such thing as a "right way" to play or build a champion, so if someone isn't building or playing a champion in a way which you are use to just shut up about it.

No but you see I deserve challenger and I'm way smarter than the nerds I get matched with in Bronze. If they'd just listen to me and camp my lane and let me have all the kills I could carry.

The snark is strong with this one.

i agree with number 1, but to a point number 2 is somewhat wrong. i think what you are trying to say is that while there is no right way to build champions, there are some champs who does not work well with certain items. Like if you are buying something that is only melee why would you buy it on a ranged champion? But i will agree that some people just take building way too seriously! like they will be on you and if it works they still bark on you. its sad but some people just feel the need to act like that!

well i'm just talking about non-optimal items on the champions, like if you're playing an ADC and stacking attacks speed on let's say Caitlyn , then sure it might not be the best build mathematically, but if they want to do it then don't try to tell them they are playing the game wrong.

I'm going to disagree with you here. I had to get harassed over a very long time to finally stop building Runaans on ADCs, and I am so much better off.

I think what really needs to be noted is don't expect the person to change in that game.

Even then, i see nothing wrong with wanting to focus on attack speed instead of Crit strike and AD on an ADC. I mean obviously it's not as effective, because for some unexplained and irrational reason riot still has yet to remove the plague which is critical strike from the game, but if that person wants to play the game in a way which they almost always reach max attack speed, then sure. I think there is something to be said about them buying excess attack speed once capped, but they shouldn't be flamed and harassed about "playing the champion wrong".

I think there is a wider range of options then the Forum Bred's rage at me, especially depending on how I build my Masteries and Runes to interact. But I agree with you fully there are definitely wrong things to build or wrong overall builds.

Ooorrrr little babies that have stupid parents that coddled them could actually listen to constructive criticism. If you are 0/5/0, I think you should be listening to the person telling you to stop turret diving. Continuing to do so is intentionally feeding and should deserve a permaban.

There is no right way to build/play a champ but how ever there are many wrong ways

Zed+ item 3070 = wrong right also assassinAlistar seems a bit wrong

Until the nerfs to item 3100 and the bug fix on his Q, i'd argue that assassin Alistar was a completely legitimate method of play.

Also didn't address this in the main post, but in one of the other comments. I do think the case is slightly different when there is actually 0 benefit from purchasing an item. Like a purely mana item on an energy or resources champion, or as in the actual reply "buying excess attack speed once capped". Though if you are spending gold in a way which increases the power of your champion then while it might not be the most optimal, it doesn't mean that it's wrong.

Like if i were to buy item 3157 on Varus , it's not the 100% optimal way to build him, but if it fits the situation and/or fits the way i want to play him then who is to say i'm doing it "wrong"?

Yeh but an asdassin ali does noy exist anymore

building zonyas might not alwaus be that much benefith for such a expensive item but if theres a super fed Karthus why not .?

Verbal harassment? Seems like these days everything is considered harassment... If you don't want the criticism, they created a mute option for a reason.
