League of Legends (LoL) is multiplayer game inspired by the mod Defense of the Ancients for the video game WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne. It was created by "Riot Games" on October 2009 and immediately came to the Philippines around early 2010. At first the game was ridiculed by a ton of "DotA" fans saying that this is a total rip-off of the game itself, while I am an avid fan of both games, I detest the statement that this is a rip-off.
When the LoL first came to surface, the games community was fun. Players support one another by commenting those who are new in a way so that they could learn faster thus the game would be much more enjoyable for the newbies. As time passed by LoL was in the spotlight already and much has changed since then. Heroes have been nerfed, items had been added, and a lot more. Though one thing has certainly stood out of all that has changed and that has been the gamers community. The community has been so bad that beta players have been abandoning the love for their game, "Trash Talk" has been so rampant that good players loose their mood to play by either going "AFK", "Trolling", or "Leaving". I know that each and every player has their own opinion on how to play, but shouldn't be the game's highlight be teamwork? Why trash-talk your teammate when you can just pull each other up, win or loose at least we did our best.
I am a Filipino myself, born and bred in the Archipelago of the Philippine Islands. We are not known for being rude, rather we are known for being hospitable. We should change our words and choose it very carefully.
