The RIOT Act - Sigfried Hunin - 09-06-2011

This is the world I live in. Granted, I chose this world, but only because it was the only world I could possibly live in.
This metaphor is getting kinda complicated.

Rant time: I hate people that rage at their teammates. All of them. It's incredibly immature and usually a thinly-veiled way of trying not to look like a bad player yourself (which seems to be some kind of moral black hole in online gaming culture). Honestly, it never bothers me when people on the enemy team are douches, but when someone on my own team starts doing it, it makes me want to play a different game. Ex: yesterday, upon dying nowhere near me, someone immediately goes OMG, HELIXAGON and then follows up with an explanation that it's my fault because I died in their lane once and now the enemy is 'fed'.
It also makes me weep when you see this kind of behaviour and the target of the rage is like "sorry, my bad". As though making a mistake entitles someone else to be a dickhead about it. It's a vicious cycle of moronity that makes people feel the NEED to blame others for losing, lest they themselves be blamed and verbally lynched. It's this kind of culture which makes it difficult to get new people to play these games.

I do get frustrated when I warn people not to do something (don't go through river they have it warded, don't hang out in that bush they're on the way, don't get so close to Akali she can snap you down fast), and then they do it and die.
But yeah. I'm a culprit for Rose's thing.

Oh yeah.
Also, it really irritates me when people get argumentative about advice I'm trying to give. Like I'm lying to them or trying to get them to do something dumb.

It's all about learning to read Kaden. Should you really get that glacial shroud or did he really mean to subtly hint at a bloodthirster?

I hate being one of two people who vaguely knows wtf is goin on in a game and then people just ignore/do whatever the fuck they feel like.
I was 7/10/23 and then a Shaco, at 9/11/16 reported me for "Unskilled." God I fucking hate people.

I sometimes get assholes that like to call others and myself dumb, stupid, that I suck, and a few other things. And they dont try to help and tell me what I did wrong.
I know I have a bad habit of accidentally KSing, not meaning to. I just dont want them to get away...
My last game i was playing Ryze, with a Pantheon on Top with me. There was a Corki and Katrina at the bottom and Ez in the middle.
I think Ez may have had a stick up his ass, I'm not sure, but I know Katrina did. She was mad at Corki for something like him being new to him. I think she bitched for a while and then it started to get mid game. Me and Pantheon stopped fucking around and went ahead and destroyed the first two towers in our lane. Next thing I know Katrina is bitching about losing to Miss Fortune and says "No wonder! You guys fed her!"
I'm sitting there thinking... "Was she blind? Did she not see Miss Fortune's name appear for killing people? And if she's talking like shes so bad ass in the game, shouldn't she be able to handle a fed Fortune"
After we won she gave a -.- face instead of gg

You can get report someone for being Unskilled? Thats stupid

As far as I know it doesn't do anything but let you get one last bit of douchebaggery in as you leave a match.
The RIOT Act - Mal Nova - 09-06-2011
It tells you if you get reported?
The RIOT Act - Tyr - 09-06-2011
No and it's only to check for errors in the matchmaking system. It doesn't incur a penalty in any way shape or form. I don't even think you can report (or at least get your reports read) if you're in ranked.

They can and will. I've seen plenty of reports in tribunal that were ranked games.

"Report for Unskilled" essentially gets filtered into a trash bin. The people who are that fucking petty are GOING to report someone that achieved their ire, regardless of actually deserving it. So if they felt that someone "sucked and fed their lane" (aka, has three fewer deaths than they themselves most of the time), they "Report for Feeding", "Report for Assisting Enemy Team", etc. Those reports are for different purposes, so they clutter the real reports with noise. Now people see "Report for Unskilled", hear that "it adjusts their ELO", and go "THSI GUY SUKS, I AM IN ELO HELL, REPORTED TO GET HIM OUT OF MY ELO, GTFO NOOB" without clogging up real reports.

I still find it infuriating. God help the world if I control the power to teleport, because those people would suffer first.

Fucking fuck solo ranked.
So far, I have two losses. Both of those losses were due to an ap carry squishy (veigar for the first, annie for the second) going 0/8 by the fifteenth minute, while the rest of the team did fine. And, of course, we got steamrolled for it.
Unfucking believable. I never once saw Annie use her Q for a last hit. She'd chuck her tibbers out to clear a simple minion wave. She'd recall in the middle of a fucking lane, not in a bush, fuck no, in the middle of a fucking lane.
And I got a ranked loss for it, and lost ELO for it. Serious. Fucking. Bullshit.

That's exactly why "Elo hell" exists to some people.
