So I've seen this little thing floating around by Penny Arcade recently, on the Gaia Forums and the League Forums, about online gaming harassment. So I figured, we're all League players in here, we've encountered these people before, we know that the League community is very verbally abusive. Why not spread the word about all the harassment people receive through online gaming.

So I'll just place this here for anyone who has yet to see this.
Discuss?
This video was inspiring, and they're totally right, league needs this more than anything, say noob one more time and *beep* chat turns off, all they can do is ping.
they should know when they're being dumbshits and stop. we're trying to play, we're not gonna get a movespeed boost from you spamming your ping, and I've done a lot of things as a player i'm not really proud of out of spite, i've gotten one of my own caught in a 1v5 just because I didn't like them.
Granted this might be taken as oppression or censorship (OMG OPINIONS, MORALFAGS, HURRR DURRR) but people say the stupidest things, it just impacts everyone's experience, knowing your playing with or against someone nasty, and yes, I have dunked a tank just for being a douchebag, I sacrificed a utillity for madreds, just because this dude was pissing me off.
I read the summoner's code recently, and thought back to my matches, It put my stomach in knots, and I was ashamed of the me as a part of the community as a whole, I wouldn't call out names, especially since I willingly pressed that "make an account" button, but people should know when they're being dumbshits.
