"Why I Love League of legends But Hate...

[quote=DillButt64][quote=Lady Amelyne] [quote=MyBloodisBlack] The worst part of this video is I know alot of people all around the world will have watched this, Listened to the message, Clicked the like buttons and shared a comment but most importantly when they are done they will be like "Well its not my problem if the community is toxic" and then return to being the same kind of player they were....mostly one of the Toxic ones themselves. This is something that has to be stopped and soon because whether people like it or not Cyber bullying is not acceptable ANYWHERE and it can cause people lives to be destroyed...We have recently seen it with Nein from CLG quitting his role partly because of the abuse he had been receiving from "fans" but it can cause so much more damage to someone who doesn't have support of others, I know of youngsters and even adults ending their own lives because of cyber bullying and the fact they couldn't find the support they needed because so many do not feel Cyber bullying is all that big a deal since you could always "Turn your computer off". As someone who has been a victim of bullying and cyber bullying all my life I know how hard it is cope with having people who you are meant to be trusting abusing you for no good reason at all and I will give a prime example... Few days ago I played a Blind draft match, Everyone had picked their roles and I was left with going Top lane, I am not very good in top lane but everyone had their preferred lanes and I wanted to try out Shyvana anyways so I pointed this all out in chat, explaining I may not do well in the lane and I will require assistance and most importantly Patiences which the team said was ok and to just try your best. So I had to play against Darius and of course not knowing what to expect and also the fact he was farming fast and furiously I had to try and fight as best I could whilst getting rid of the minions and not taking damage from Darius...I was not successful and I started to be picked off easily. Now I am not doing anything wrong in any sense, I am trying my best to cope with this Darius who obviously was a much more skilled top laner than me but there wasn't much I could do about that so I just tried to keep him preoccupied and tried to farm more and more but it was a losing battle - and then the comments started coming. To start with it was helpful, one of my team mates informed the jungle they should help top now (seeing as I was 0-3-0) which would have been great however the junglar decided not to and focused on the bot lane more and more and I was still being picked off by Darius or their junglar then the helpful comments became abusive...they were accusing me of not actually fighting at all, they were demanding that the other team report me because I was not playing at all, they went as far as to demand that I uninstalled LOL and never played again and believe me it got worse and worse until the very end where I had to deal with over 20 minutes of this abuse and what for? Because I was struggling in the top lane with a new champion against a guy who was better. I feel the video should be listen to, taken in and the entire community should start improving and working to play together and not against each other...as the video says "I have 5 enemies on the opposing side why would I want 4 more on my side?" [/quote] Edit: The vid was probably made for attention-whoring purposes to make this guy look compassionate or something. I think it's a bit pathetic how it was edited to be so 'dramatic.' [/quote] it was made for attention whoring, this guy on one of the bigger facebook pages made this and shared it on all the pages he admins on, which led to people posting it on their pages etc. etc. its crazy cuz i liked the page a long time ago and he always posted shit about people being shitty all the time also this video took him almost a year to make which is kinda sad[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]It took a year for him to write his thoughts about league down and say them in a massive run on sentence with League Footage in the background and words overlaying it? Shit, makes me feel better about my usage of time.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]idk with such good writing like "i have 5 enemies on one team why should i have 4 on mine" its understandable why he took so long but seriously this is just another "QQ WHY IS EVERYONE MEAN PLS BE NICE IM NICE UNLESS PEOPLE SUCK" video made viral because the facebook admin shared it 50 times in one day[/quote]

[quote=FantasySniper][quote=Toshabi] [quote=FantasySniper] For those of who that say "Get some friends and play with them.": I would much rather be given the choice to do that over being forced to because of a player base that restricts my choices. I liked the video and thought it was very true. The community causes its own destruction when it tries to force others into their mindset, which is often arrogant and unwilling to treat others with any form of respect or kindness. [/quote] So you're just an idiot for solo queuing knowing this. It's like having badongadongs with a woman without wearing protection and being all like "WOW HOW THE FUCK DID SHE GET PREGO?!". Toshabi lesson of the day: Friends are League of Legends condoms. [/quote] I think that is a rather poor analogy. What would one get impregnated with in League of Legends? 0_o[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]i dont think you got it[/quote]

[quote=sirell]Pro-tip - you don't take analogies literally.[/quote]

[quote=NateDog13]I actually liked it *shrug*, I see that a lot of people voice their complaints about the whole portion of back to "NOOB META" this and that, but I think I can pretty much connect this. I've found that a shit ton of people tend to focus on a portion of the things I say and disregard the rest instead of keeping a full view on things. He isn't gunning for "no meta" back, he's gunning for a non toxic community. He's not gunning for a community who isn't aiming to win, but a community aiming to win with the help of their teammates. Taking things like that so directly at face value and ignoring the meaning behind it is pretty disappointing to see. It's also a bit hilarious to see the ignorance behind some of these comments, "Ignore it, ignore them, and just play." You can only see it continuously so long from so many random people before it starts to creep into the cracks. It's even worse when friends use comments like that jokingly, sometimes even seriously, after having been barraged by these comments previously. Whether you want to call the person struggling to deal with the toxicity "a pussy" or an "idiot" for succumbing from these comments, the world outside combined with the world inside league can have some significant impacts on your health/mental health when league is your only outlet. As a kid who struggled through this kind of attitude himself and altered, I know all too well the feelings I had when this toxicity was directed at me. You feel like shit after it continues on for so long, and the younger your mindset is, the more impactful comments are, because the immediate world around you is the most important thing to you at a time like that. Regardless, whether this video was made for attention whoring or not, it's got a message people can take from it and should take from it, because god damn, changing my attitude towards solo queue and just playing with random people in genral was hard, but it sure as hell helped me get to where I am now.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]the message of the video is "QQ pls be nice ):" which is the same as every other video like this, even ones released by riot like i said before this one is only super famous because of how much it got shared cuz the dude has like 5 facebook pages he admins[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu]Just saw this posted on a Finnish LoL-groug Comments: omg so true omg so true omg so deep i can see adele rollin omg truth omg truth omg pretentious bullshit <- me omg this janitsu guy rager flamer autist fgt kid janitsu grow up janitsu ur such a kid so instead of preventing toxicity you are toxic yourself? nise :^) <- me omg admin kick this janitsu guy omg janitsu ur warnd 1 mor tiem ur band fagt kid autist <- admin i just said my thoughts about the video <- me omg ima ban ur sori ass <- admin[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]I personally liked the video, but didn't find it very unique. I can't argue what has been said about soloq, but what I will say is that winning in soloq provides me more satisfaction than ranked 5s. Something about winning with the odds stacked against you.[/quote]
