League of Legends End of Season 2 thoughts

Season 2 is about to be over we had LoL world championship a lot of changes over the season many new players some of this was for the good some bad. First things I'd like to say about season 2 now that its over is a big thanks to Riot for investing a lot of money back into the community and starting to work on some of the major issues in league of legends mainly the trolling and bad manners of players. I'll start with the new tribunal system now this is great to see LoL need more discipline and i don't blame this all on Riot i blame this on the community and most people in it are internet griefers and trolls in fact some you you reading this are and probably don't think you are. This insane issue everyone needs to work on because honestly i think the state of the community online is bad. I also play Starcraft 2 and Fighting games obviously more of a fighting game player overall. This being said i think LoL community is the worst of the 3 as far as online behavior goes Starcraft is a Gentlemen's game and doesn't really have many trolls online and overall good mannered players. Fighting games have some trolls but a lot of the trolling is in good fun and is part of the culture and adds to the experience. League of Legends is just full of cry babies and  tryhards and everyone needs to stop this . I do think a lot of this comes from the fact that so many people play it and a more diverse age range so there is a lot more immature behavior due to the high volume of teenagers playing the game. So please next time you play try to be nice explain to a bad player what they re doing wrong in an encouraging way and try to help them not make then rage quit and you still lose. Next subject Riot needs to pump out less champions and allow the game to stabilize i bit more in current builds although they have slowed down and i do get that its there main source of income new champs it needs to slow down more. Riot has put more incentive in the game for player some of the season 2 ending idea are good lower cool down on flash making new items for support jungle tweaks all excellent idea's and are much needed I believe.  Overall good job to Riot with trying to address a lot of issues and supporting the competitive scene its getting there but i still feel a lot for can be done and i look forward to seeing what season 3 has in store for us all.
