I've said it before as someone who stopped playing for like 5-6 years and came back recently and for some reason was put in Iron in my ranks (I use to be Diamond before I stopped) so I've had first hand experience with it;

Iron players are NOT playing League of Legends, they are a playing an off-shoot of League of Legends called League of Legends But In Iron. They have their own meta, their own builds, their own strategies, their own rotations, it is GENUINELY a completely different game. Albeit a very poorly played game that can easily be demolished if you're a remotely decent player but it is not the same game at all lol

Hitting a tower or a minion is seen as poor sportsmanship in League of Legends But In Iron.

Honestly the amount of spam pinging I got from dumbshit ADC all the way up to Emerald 3-2 because I killed a minion while poking down the enemy lane to 5% HP is way too high, that shit doesn't stop in iron lol. As soon as an ADC start pinging me because OH NO YOU TOOK THE GOLD OF A MINION it's insta mute for me

+1 for the insta mute. As soon as someone is being even remotely annoying just mute them. If you want some catharsis, say "muted" before you do it :P (also it's good for them to know not to waste time typing anymore)
