The RIOT Act

[Jonathan Meer]

Yeah, because THAT'll defuse the situation.

I've taken to muting myself when I notice I'm getting frustrated. I've found that to be effective.

EDIT: When it comes to some of the criticisms (let the jungler know before you recall if your lane opponent will otherwise get free damage on turret, buy resists if you're getting fucked by one specific enemy, cover your AD carry if you're the CC-tank and aren't initiating), it stems from having to repeat the same stuff over and over. Gets old. Especially when we lose game after game after game because of these entry-level things.

Especially when there's absolutely no confirmation from the person who made the mistake that they recognize the mistake. No justification. Just dead silence. ESPECIALLY when they make the same mistake teamfight-after-teamfight, or game after game.

As for the 'for fun' portion, I thought we'd already well-established that, unless otherwise indicated, it should be assumed that we are playing to win.

EDIT2: I'm aware I stand no chance of 'winning' this argument. I'm the aggressor and criticizing the aggressor is the safest thing you can do.
