I didn't know that. That sucks. The league community in general is so toxic tho.

It even was in news:

https://esports-news.co.uk/2019/02/17/vaevictis-esports-all-female-team/

Boys/men just were mocking them on respawn, not ending game. And it was in the very first game of girls/women. I bet it was very hard hit to morale. In general they stopped even trying to win in next few games. Not like they had any chance - they were gold-platinum rankings/elo, playing against diamond and challenger (and it is not like there no challenger girls/women to take - I was in challenger at one point, team leads just had no money and took any teen girl/woman they were able to take, including just friends. So it was just "we need to do contract somehow, but lets make public appearance" and instead they made women look really bad in this game.

That's awful... I just remember the whole Team Siren thing years ago. I don't know what the fuck was that about but it made me cringe and sad at the same time. I wonder if it was a similar situation.

When I read descriptions like this I find it very confusing in that it implies that it's being done because they are women. This fountain camping happens in most blowout games ... Like 99%. Them being women is irrelevant in that situation. Watch LCS they do it to each other.

I personally have won a ranked game because the other team tried to fountain camp us as they won but we wiped them and ran up mid and killed their nexus.

At first they banned only 5 supports, even ones that are not in meta and which women team never played before, and then in the end of game they killed them, then waited until they respawn, killed again, waited until respawn and killed again - instead of finishing the game. In Turkey (or was it Brazil?) one team was disqualified for similar disrespect shown few times, in CiS it happened only one time, so teams only got a warning.

Don't know how it is on the West, but here it is always assumed that women can only play support and that we should play only supports. Even in one team I once participated, they put me on a support role, which was annoying - I took challenger on midlane twice and master on marksman, while their midlaner was low diamond. We would have much more chances if I was midlaner and that guy on a support, but nah - women can only play supports.

LCS

Killing on spawn before finishing the game is happening pretty rare in LCS, it is more often happening in LEC, mostly by G2, and even more often in LCK, mostly by teams who have KD/A players or to ruin KD/A for such teams.
