I guarantee you the amount of hate speech in games would drop dramatically overnight, as people would start realizing that even saying certain things will guarantee they lose the game. Not that I am advocating doing that, but it is an example. People should not put up with being harassed in game. There is no reason to do so. All ignoring it does is perpetuate it, because people are not being reprimanded for doing it. And in that persons next game, they may actually upset somebody. Here's a better example. I got called a slut in game a few weeks ago. I pretended to be a chick and tore the guys head off until he apologized to me. Not because I was upset, I mean I'm a dude and I don't mind very much. But because I have female friends who literally I shit you not want to play LoL and refuse to do so because they get called sluts in game. I want to play LoL with my nice female friends, not with the asshole who is going around being a sexist fuck all the time, so I'm not going to put up with him being sexist to me even if I'm not the one who is upset by his comments. | ||

It is a serious detriment to the overall image of the game, and it's sad that anybody would try to justify it. I totally agree with you, but unfortunately, the opinion of the outspoken members of the subforum are pretty set. | ||

Well ok how is your friends refusing to play something they enjoy because of what a random internet person said to them make any sense? Just report after the game and that's it.I just don't understand why would you care what some random jerk says.I mean why can't you be the bigger person by not giving a fuck?Everyone knows you lose more games if you flame yet a lot of people flame.It really wouldn't change shit if you went afk. | ||

People enjoy flaming a lot less when it's against a wall that doesn't do anything back. Well I mostly don't even read chat and seem to play better after some whiskey so maybe I'm just fucked up. edit: Below yea I'd also rather have people flaming me than my teammates who I don't know if they go on tilt or not. | ||

I think that is a patent mis-categorization of the views of people like Slayer, who I odn't want to put words in his mouth, but feel like verbal abuse is over emphasized. I would rather be "verbally abuse" (by the way that term is so loaded) every game if those people could get there asses straight in champ select. In fact whenever I feel like there is some tilting building up I try to get the team to be mad at me instead of each other, cus I don't care. Its like #9432 on my priority list for changing league, and Slayer probably feels the same. | ||

With practice and experience you can lower the amount of effort required, but success in LoL requires acknowledging your teammates at some level, and it is helpful to know what they are thinking. Since we are hard-wired to mentally react to language directed at ourselves, responding to flames always requires a decision (even if it's 'ignore it'), and excess decision-making in a fast-paced competition will cause stress. Given that ragers increase the tension among all of their team members to some extent (not just those being raged at), and that ignoring them is unlikely to make them stop (after the ~30 minute mark they'll probably just switch to /all and complain to the other team), it would benefit both the team and the community as a whole to respond in a way that could defuse the situation and lower tension. I usually automatically respond "my bad" or "chill" because it is always easier to let something go after you've acknowledged it rather than trying to ignore it every time you look at your chat window. By responding even in a minimal fashion, you can add some sort of closure to a bad situation and return to playing, instead of letting it bubble under the surface. | ||

For example autoing the wave because you're getting shoved is something I never even bother doing because it wont make any difference and its easy to last hit under tower vs full hp minions anyway. Saying that you should NEVER mute anyone is so subjective, though. Sometimes you don't want to listen to someone rage and flame because IT'S A GAME that some people PLAY FOR FUN and once in a while it's more fun to mute someone and not hear them curse streams of insults at you and say dumb things even if it makes your team lose than it is to listen to them and win the game. Saying "you've got ego problems if you mute someone" is dumb. Sometimes you are just too smart to want to listen to people when you know they are trying to antagonize you. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with ego problems to want to change a situation so that it's less hostile and antagonistic towards you by pressing a button. I mean, maybe my chances of losing go down if I don't mute, but then again, maybe they go up. It's like you're insulting people for doing something that makes them happier just because it doesn't make you happier. I think that is very subjective. | ||
