I do say that, in truth. No point in letting something like that get to you. Whether it's someone raging about how bad they think you are at a video game or if you took the last piece of pizza from the cafeteria when they were in line behind you.
Obviously certain circumstances warrant some reaction, but most of the time, you'll just find out you're getting all worked up over something insignificant. Everyone draws their own boundaries, mine are just incredibly loosely defined.

For any sensible definition of "real", chatting with random people on LoL *is* a lot less real than face-to-face communication.
You have no idea who is talking to you, what that person's state of mind is, whether he actually has any intention to upset you, how that person reacts to anything you'll do, whether you're even talking to the same person or whether it's a bunch of people taking turns trolling you. Hell, for all you know it could be a bot.
It's very different from someone giving you a harsh look because you took a last piece in the pizzeria, since you have far less information to go by and also far less information to judge how anything you say will be received. Physical interaction conveys far, far more information than purely textual chat.
It is also clear that people behave very differently in the anonymous online environment than they do in face to face conversations; at least that is the case for almost all the people I have met in person, and it is the case for myself, so I do not see why it should be different for other people.
It makes no sense to take anonymous online conversations at face value, just like you wouldn't assign the same weight to a cab driver's passing comment as you would to a discussion with a close friend. Whether taking offense at remarks made online is being oversensitive or not is an entirely personal judgement, but it's certainly silly to pretend that all conversations are the same.

condemn goes through counterstrike

The problem w/ Poppy is really poor laning phase. When I said strongest, i also meant viable.

do people build AP poppy now or AD?

Is poppy top not considered viable anymore?
She's not /strong/ in laning, but she definitely seemed to hold her own against a bunch of common tops last I checked. (You'd not want to first pick her, though.)

Meh, I still think Malphite is better at stopping ADs.

lol wut. u srs?
her laning phase is not poor at all. her passive+W gives her crazy amounts of resist on top of runes and with a philo she can stay in lane forever against most common top laners. once she gets sheen, which should be the first item after boots+philo, she can out-trade most laners as well.
only people who can beat poppy are ranged champs like Nid/Kennen and strong pushers. You just don't want to first pick Poppy because she as a few really hard counters, but that's the case for a lot of viable champs.
If anything, Poppy if more viable than Jax imo.

Generally it's Triforce+Gunblade into tanky. AP Poppy is hella burst, but not as strong overall.

Olaf stomps Poppy in the nuts. Teemo's the best ranged champ vs. poppy, he fucking ruins her, roughly as bad as Olaf IMO, though most people say Olaf beats her ass worse with the true damage.
Jax is going through a popularity surge and Poppy's little presence recently dried up. Jax is stronger vs. the popular top laners and is no longer a completely useless jungler, so I'd say he's a fair bit more viable than Poppy in high elo games, though Poppy is honestly underplayed in my games right now.

oh yea, forgot about olaf. But olaf beats a ton of top laners anyways.
i honestly haven't seen any good Jax players in my elo range 1600-1700 so my perception of how good Jax is is probably skewed. But saying Poppy isn't viable is total nonsense. She's a fine late pick to avoid hard counters. Against most lanes she does fine; against her counters she gets wrecked really hard. Once she gets Triforce she wrecks havoc since that ulti and passive are just fucking broken.

Alright so I have a question about handling a team comp and who to pick when you see something like this. The team was wu top, galio mid, mundo jungle, and bot graves leona. Who counters that and what is the best way to pay against a team like that. Once it got late game it took a year to kill one didn't know what to do please help

when it gets to late game it all depends on how farmed your AD carry is. come late game, AD carries are pretty much THE dps force on a team. if you find you guys can't kill anything lategame chances are either your AD carry is behind and/or you guys aren't protecting him well enough.

Yeah, pick Kog, Trist or Vayne as AD and let them farm full items.
then you play full-out Protect The AD lategame.

can't tell if people are serious about poppy having decent laning phase....
|
We had decent protection and it was corki. He got a little behind but he wasn't too far behind in cs but was up in kills against the other ad. Would kog be better against that comp? Our top was really ahead but it shyvana and didn't do enough damage
|
80-90 armor from level 1? Yeah its kinda hard to push Poppy out of lane unless you play someone like Olaf, Teemo. Plus Poppy players usually go minion damage mitigation so they can freeze lane anytime they want
