Aphonia Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Recently during lockdown, I've been having introspective musings. One such was the usage of the word 'nigga' and 'gay' in internet lingo. If you notice this forum has 105 hits of the word 'nigga' and 204 of the word 'gay'. However these terms were last used 4 years and 2 years ago respectively. Interestingly 'nigga' was last used by a moderator on this forum. At one point, these two words could be heard at least every other minute on Mumble. Yet today, even I feel a slight hesitation in using them as insults. Perhaps I've matured? Or more likely because Riot are flags and ban you for using this kinda language. This leads me onto the question, has your language changed during your AoS career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accountzZ Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) don't forget the "I blame ________ (player name)." Also when you mature, you just realize how sad it is that aeon of storms got stuck with its community, you have these people that just bm no matter what you say and piss a person off, no matter who it is, the person will get bmed, the community is comparable to wolves, they will eat each other. The community is truly the most insufferable part of experiencing aeon of storms, you have bm, you have unending complaints from people that seek approval from everyone. When I say community, the question if you are involved or not, the answer is entirely to what you think. Please know who you are or find out with everyone else. Balance is the least of people's worries when people just act entitled to the point of complaining first thing instead of taking the time to think over and adapt. Letting yourself die to the game and complaining does not make you a good player, it is finding a way to deal with the issues and come out well enough instead of complaining is what makes a good player. Most people have grown accustomed to this habit, including myself because there isn't a point in getting good when nothing really changes. That doesn't mean what I am doing is really the best thing to do though. Edited May 5, 2020 by accountzZ MOTHER and Littleman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Maybe the lingo is slightly different, however it's roughly the same stuff: You still have people who "lag" whenever they under perform You still have people who talk about how great they are when they are not under performing. You still have "good" players who leave the game early if they have a poor start. You still have people who purposley starts feeding after they got wreckt in their lane, pretending they are trolling when they lack the skill / balls to adapt to a rough start. Majority of people has HOPEFULLY matured over the years, however once they are back on AOS it's like they hit puberty again.

Paybacker Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I posted all this for everyone to have a good laugh. Hence the wording, examples, and effects I put in the text. Despite the bm that can get out of hand I think the rest of the bm makes the games funny show casing how close everyone can be with certain things. Maybe it’s why the community is the roughly the same? Because there is a mutual understanding in some areas. Please take my post with a grain of salt and have a light hearted chuckle that is the intention. P.S. wow fisher I miss you please come gank me Fisher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day I was calling people failed abortions and saying the only ass they got were when their fingers slipped through toilet paper. Honestly I think it was part of 'EU Culture'. The moment I first stepped on Mumble and had people like Shard/SMN flame the shap outta me for mistakes..makes you want to rage back when they make mistakes. It's like a self perpetuating cycle of flame in which I believe NA was at the time better than us for. This flaming/toxicity is pretty fun, however it's detrimental to building a community and fostering new players. For every player you cuss outta the game/kick in the lobby, means that's another player who can't replace someone who moves on from AoS.

accountzZ Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 They are likely on low levels of insult because, there are a number of players where you might get the idea that they are in a different country other than the US. Likely, these "insults" have propagated is because people just let it by or think it is bad to the point its funny to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree however, it is hard for non native speakers to formulate proper insults. I can't speak languages such as Russian, so if anything it's pretty cool that players are comfortable casually conversing in a non-native language and able to make some kind of jokes.

accountzZ Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 I meant that it was a nice/vague way of saying that their first language likely wasn't English, idk where these people come from or are at exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more drama on these forums. Some of the greatest E-insults of all time were first uttered on these forums 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
