So as someone who has never played LoL or any MoBA (or is it a DOTA?), can someone give me a run-down? Just generally toxic behavior?

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 37 points 3 weeks ago (15 children)

Mobas (and team games in general) have an inherent issue where people dont like to be losing, and when they are, they usually find an outlet by blaming the rest of the team.

Its a pretty huge problem in league because

  1. Behavior problem. Riot has like never addressed the toxicity issue. They've basically said heres some banned words and thats it. People can get by either griefing in game (which has been essentially unpunished) or by typing in non bannable ways (i remember seeing someone using europe as a uhh... You know)
  2. Game design problem. League is pretty punishing when it comes to losing. You're stuck in a game you dont want to play, esp if your team holds you hostage by not surrendering intentionally. There's no fast way to get into a new game. You have to finish this, lose lp (ranked point system in league), and then possibly run into the same situation again. This isn't really riot's fault. This is just a flaw of mobas that no ones learned to really fix yet

i genuinely dont get the europe thing. what does it mean?

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago

"I hope europe yourself" is the exact phrase I heard

Guess I shouldve given context, it is a bit harder to see out of context haha

It's way to say rope yourself, or hang yourself, and get past the chat filters. It's the closest league players get to a creative writing exercise.
