A well placed jab at the ego of your opponent is a valid tactic. If you think people are unable to be rattled by a little trash talk, giving you the advantage, you're wrong. And it certainly isn't childish. However, the internet allows for people do go beyond simple trash talk and just act stupid.
I do understand some people just don't understand trash talking. Those people also tend to be less competitive. If you've never had a pick up game end in a near fight, you've never tried hard enough.

It's true. More and more 13-16 (I consider 11-16 kids) year olds are on LoL everday. The report system is broken also. I hardly say anything toxic in game and I got the 45 game chat restriction. What the fuck right? People who feed and afk DO NOT GET PUNISH! It's bullshit.
They might as well age restrict you to play the game now. Chat restrictions left right and center for speaking your mind or trash talking the other team. Ranked restrictions for doing the same. Man what happened to competition? What happened to being able to make your enemy feel bad for losing, this is a competitive game this isn't child's play. If you feel hurt after a game because someone said something to you, suck it up and move on. Instead this game has become the epitome of tattle tales. Its breeding a generation of people unable to handle the real world. Never knew game developers had to become baby sitters as well. Shame on them, shame on Riot, and shame on the League community for supporting a lack of freedom. My 2 cents.
...wait, you're complaining because you want to make the other team feel bad because you beat them? You're one of the reasons I stopped playing LoL. The other reason is that too many people play and troll. You can't leave, you're forced to sit through the whole torture fest and watch Mundo build AP (I saw this in Season 1 I believe. No health. No warmogs...nothing to add durability. Mundo doesn't scale with AP. I was playing as Ashe I think and he just copied my build. It was PAINFUL. And he was trolling. We were rolled pretty badly in there.)
Look, win or lose just end the game with a "gg" and go back into the queue. The developers had to become babysitters because many people playing LoL acted like a 5 year old on the playground.
Awww you got sad when people made fun of you after they beat you?

WoW failed as an MMO due to this for me.
I know there were "PvP servers" but the setup of the game was atrocious.
Lineage 2, you could be regularly killed while farming just because someone "felt like it". But it didn't stop there, no one just killed you and walked away. No, you killed someone, stood over their body, and talked smack to that person. You let them know what it was.
This built rivalries, it built PVP for the SAKE of PVP, not because there was an Arena or anything, but because Clan Xenophocks was a bunch of noobs who could only win a fight by sneaking up on you while you were mobbing enemies and if you saw them, it was PVP/PK on site, irregardless of items you had on you that were at stake.
Is there any gametype we haven't sheltered the living hell out of gamers at by now?
At this point, gamers are extremely fragile mentally, even saying "Hey, don't overextend next time." is enough to have a person burst into a wild fit of rage because "You're bullying them!!!"
I'd heard about the reporting players for trash talking in this game, the world is becoming too politically correct, no one can open their mouth without saying something that offends other people.
And you have the absolute right to free speech, you are quite able to say anything you want, you just might have to face the consequences. The government will do nothing against you for trash talking someone in a game. But that is not what you are asking for, you want consequence free speech, and that just doesn't happen.The standard should be free speech with additional tools to mute other players so you can't see/hear what they're saying, that's completely sufficient. Babysitting your entire fan base is completely and utterly ridiculous.
I've played since Season 1, well over 4k games by now. I've never been chat banned or suspended. No one I play with regularly has ever been chat banned or suspended. Which has led me to believe if you're getting chat banned or suspended you're saying stupid shit.
This is the point that so many people miss. Everyone is so sheltered now, they get offended over everything. At this point in time you are getting reported for constructive criticism. Telling someone "Hey you really should ward, or maybe you should stop engaging" is all of a sudden a personal attack that gets you reported. There is no end to the bullshit. Too many people on this forum here never stood up to the bully. It seems most of you are angry with "verbal abuse" because it really hits home. If you really didn't care what people had to say about you or to you then it should be a non-issue.
Been playing since about 6 months before S1 started. I am not a regular player anymore, but I have never once been chat restricted either.
The people i know of who have been chat restricted are the ones calling people racist terms, calling people homophobic slurs, etc.
It's just a game, and while you should be allowed to speak your mind, the other players shouldn't have to see your racist/homophobic rants, nor should they be required to mute you if that is a regular thing.
You don't get a chat restriction from a 1 time offence. Chat restrictions are only given to the people who rarely have anything positive or helpful to say, not because they called someone a shitty player 1 time. It's for the people who go into games and flame EVERY match.
I dont see any problems with how rito has handled toxic players in the community.
Nah you are missing the point here. This isn't S1 or tribunal. This is a new system they just implemented in the last few months that is a bit over-reacting in terms of dealing with toxicity. It's an automated system (computer decision based). They claim they manually look at all reports that are determined to be bannable but that seems unrealistic, and they are catching a lot of heat over it. It's banning and chat restricting people left and right. I'm sure there are those that never get them, but that was kind of my first point. I played this game for 4 years w/o so much as a warning, and suddenly I can't even tell someone to drop a ward w/o getting a chat restriction.

Stop using your online anonymity as an excuse to be a dickhead. Did you know the way people talk to each other online would actually get somebody hurt in real life? In the real world, 98% of people are polite to each other.
What are you, 12?
Have you ever played sports? Probably not, you must not of left your house as a kid. You think everything is black and white? Leave your house every now and then and see what life is like.
If anyone ever went to school, had a job, socialized every now and then you might realize not everyone is the sweetheart you imagine in your dreams. People are people, some are assholes some are nice. If you are afraid of the assholes get a tinfoil hat on and pray.
I have, infact I was a professional umpire. If you had played any real sports you would know that almost every sport has an unsportsmanlike conduct rule that would get you a penalty, if not flat out ejected, for saying half the things that kids shout at each other over voice chat.Have you ever played sports?
