Thats pretty damn true. I actually got an apology after the game i referenced earlier, play like shit then play like boss and people actually CHEER UP. Like that shits unseen in LoL xD

Anyone else on the east coast suffering 300-400 ping, Riot confirmed something is wrong on the forums. Guess I won't be playing tonight.

It upsets me that you actually expect someone to get banned over that.
If you are watching a pro match, there should be rules about behaviour, yes. But outside of that it's still a game on the internet. Being called a retard is not bad AT ALL. Sure there are way more extreme cases of bad behaviour in LoL, but there are also alot of cases of people that really need a thicker skin.
I'm so sick of seeing literally every losing team go to all chat and "plz report _____". People are just mad that they are losing :/

People cry for reports at the slightest touch sometimes. I mean i play in bronze so i dont report people for being bad (although the more serious cases get a lash of the tongue.) but people just outright scream "omg report X" when they are only like 1/3, its not THAT bad, especially in bronze, we all suck. (I aint bronze elohell q.q kk?)
Being called a retard is a minor offence, but ive seen some epic shit where some guy said (im going to spoiler this is pretty rude but idra reference!) + Show Spoiler + Go get raped by a tire iron. Your father is a pedophile and your mother is his basement child. How does it feel being the son of a pedophile and his victim. I want to slit open your mothers vagina and put you back up there so the world doesnt have to suffer you anymore. Along with more.
Now that, deserves an instaban IMO ^_^ along with other cases like it, but the majority of flamers and kids will just spam omg noob jajajaja, which are minor offences, even though toxic, i think the current system works fine for them

The whole 'plz report X (for inane reason)' is annoying, but "It's a game on the internet" is not a defense for shitty behavior. It's a free game, which no-one is forced to play, accordingly Riot gets to set the rules they wish (barring of course things that are illegal, e.g. No Y religion allowed, no people of Z color skin, etc). Just because people are dicks in general on the internet doesn't mean people should be allowed to do it if it's against the ToS Riot sets.

EDIT: Standard zac build? when i bought him everyone was like "tank tank tank" but im having some success putting some AP on him with like Rylais and liandrys. My standard build atm is Ancient golem, Sorcerers boots, Rylais, Spirit, Sunfire and Liandries. Carries shit hard, i annihliate the squishies i jump on and still have like 4k hp.
God damn it i broke my post trying to quote it.

Like that shits unseen in LoL xD Pretty much if your doing really good in game you get a lot of persuasive power. If your teammates are arguing and your team is losing. just be like 'yo any game can be thrown, let x farm bot lane. Y shove top, and rest defend. We got this.'

Just because it's the norm in gaming communities to tolerate verbal abuse doesn't mean it has to be that way. There's no justification for insults. Nobody should need to have a thick skin, we play for recreation, to relax, to compete, not to have some idiot call us names.

There is absolutely no reason why anybody should call anybody a retard in game ever. Nobody who is that mentally challenged could possibly play League of Legends at all.
If you think blatant hate speech isn't something that should be bannable, you need to grow up. It's not the worst thing I've been called in game for sure, it's just an example, but because it's not the worst thing doesn't mean somebody should get away with it.
If LoL were my game, there'd be a script set up that watched for words that were blatant hate speech, like retard, faggot, nigger, downie, etc, and if you say one of those words once ever it automatically gives you a 1 hour dodge timer after the game. Second time you do it, 2 hours, then 4 hours, etc.
As far as I'm concerned there's no reason to say those things to people ever, and there should be a zero tolerance policy to it. I'm sure you're all pretty lucky I'm not in charge of that shit, but regardless, the current policies are way too lax and Riot has said they're "working on it", I just hope they figure out what they want to do before the end of summer vacation .

Moral of the story: if you want to insult someone, please do it like a sir, not a gangster.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think that DotA handles the whole reporting/muting much better than League. This could be explained with the fact that I grew up in dota pubs where there was no regulation, but seeing as how people undeservedly get banned in League quite regularly, I can't say that I'm a big fan of the tribunal. If somebody is flaming you, you can always mute him.
Also, why are people talking about fixing Singed? It's countered by a very easy strategy of having like a support follow him, eat poison and force him to kill you. The entire strategy is now dead. I kinda expect Riot to nerf it even still, though.

You guys realize that people insulting you is easily fixed with an ignore button right? Riot already bans people more frequently than most other games I've played where people would pretty much only get banned for cheating/hacking.

Eh, thats fine and dandy. I still get trolled more pregame than ingame, and it is more detrimental to my fun and chances of winning.

Yeah, you can always just mute somebody, but if they trollpick or start intentionally feeding, that definitely ruins the game for everyone.

Some people don't have as thick of skin. Don't act all holier than thou because some people can't shrug off needless shit talking. Ignoring is a great option, assholes should still be banned.

Where exactly am I acting holier than thou? I think that's just imagination on your part, I merely stated my opinion. No need to try and insult me, either.

Except then someone else on your team is doing badly so somebody starts insulting them, then they insult them back, then other people start getting into it, and people are more focused on shit talking then playing the game and it becomes pretty damn hard to carry.

That wasn't directed at you, but it still came off as a little more aggressive than I intended.
