Well Americans are or can be very stubborn and ignorant at times believe me I live in CA the state of constant racial and ethnicity problems. Everyone just thinks they are better then everyone else and when critisized they don't know how to deal and because this is the Internet they respond with QQ youmad or stfu as you said. When you see this just be the bigger person and give a little lulz then /squelch. Thankfully Riot has a premade system and thankfully we have Mobafire a community where we help each other. Just remember we aren't all like this take me for instance I am a very level headed and generally cool guy to play with or just talk to.

Sorry I havn't taken participation in my own thread, been slightly busy. I want to make it clear that I never intended to imply that all foreign players were bad. I do agree though that the language barrier tends to be the most aggravating. This game is all about communication. A team that doesn't communicate will generally fail 9/10 times. I have seen Americans and non-Americans alike show stubbornness that doesn't help the team as a whole. I suppose what makes this game so frustrating is that a single game usually requires you to dedicate at least 45min+ per game. As an adult, and a college student I tend to find that my time is more valuable then a 15-16 year old. I mean no offense by that, but I think I just hold higher standards during games that most can't meet. You can say "It's just a game", or call me an elitist or whatever. But I feel like anyone should do the best they can in whatever they do.

Most players across all languages know LoL jargon though... Try to focus on using words specific to the game, and pings.

Ex: mia, mid, top, bot, b, push, and pinging for attacks / pushes

Sure you can't give them specific help, but I've never had a problem having success with people speaking other languages if I speak in these terms.
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

I don't intend on discriminating anyone but in MY history of gaming russians, bulgarians and germans always sucked. Not necessarily cause of their gameplay... I don't mean all of them, of course, every basket of apples has a rotten one (or two hundred of them)...

I can understand a guy with a huge ping and pity him in the same time. It kinda breaks my heart when someone can't play cause of internet or pc problems ... (my pc used to be a minor upgrade from a coffee-maker --joke--)

Of all the things I hate about 'foreigners' (everyone is a foreigner to me as I am to them --except co-nationals) is that if they can't (or won't) get along, they quit or they keep on coming mid with you (even if you have a mid champ and he has .. dunno.. a melee one)..

Why can't we all just get along? I have more ignored players than friends.. That's kinda sucky if you think about it for a second... Don't get me wrong, I'm no hater. I don't /ignore a player just because he called me a 'noob' (even if he's wrong or right--but that's not the point nor the case)... but some just live for making other ppl mad..

@Zhohar
I completely agree with on the statement about always doing your best. Even though it is just a game, you should always take pride in what you do. I come from a big Call of Duty background and when playing that game you can get ridiculed called a try hard for any tiny thing you do. I once got called a try hard just because I killed someone who was trying to plant a bomb in a game of search and destroy.. Or my friends who get killed always say "why are these guys trying so hard" I ask them why don't you try then I you don't want to lose? The point in all this is, if you have no intentions of winning then you shouldn't be playing, there is nothing wrong with wanting to win because it's only human nature to want to win. Do take pride in even your league skills and don't worry about what others say or think.


@Mowen
This has nothing to do with anyone but we should play again lolol

It does seem that some people you play with are just douchebags who don't like to take advice
Although people can have a fake arrogance if you tell people things

Like I recently tried to tell someone that Warmogs can be decent in situations and he refused to listen to me for ages because it was a 'noob' item

Exactly how I feel, it seems ' kids ' don't care if they lose or not. I mean is it okay in society today to lose ? How I feel about the subject.
