Learning is an inherently iterative and active process. You learn by making a dumb mistake, and then someone corrects you. Following that you make another dumb mistake, and someone corrects you again. Then eventually, you have enough knowledge that someone else makes a dumb mistake and you figure why that happens and you exploit it. No one comes into the LoL world shitting rainbows and pentakills. To not participate in that vicious cycle is to stop learning pure and simple. I did - LoL is too hard for me. I'm sick of the 1337 gamers who go ape when they feed, the arrogant jerks who are so inflexible, the people I have to correct over and over again. The people who refute facts with sheep. I'm purely casual, play only 1-2 chars, and play mostly silent. I read LoL comments for the lulz. I don't comment anymore, or comment very rarely, and never under my registered name. Because I don't want to get mad.

That said, if you actually care about this game, you have to put up with the dumb comments. You have to figure out WTF and how the 11/700 Elo guy's Master Yi comes up with this shit - because if you don't understand it, you don't understand part of the game. And don't give the BS that you do understand it and it's all the same because, if you did really understand it, you would be bored by it - not enraged. And you do get mad. Over and over again. Because only by doing that, can you learn and get better about the game - until the game itself gets boring. Which is impossible because a new character comes out every 3 weeks or so. So, really this game is all about rage. Rage and learning.

So silence, I would say, is fine if you really don't care about this game and would like to play in your own little bubble. Which is perfectly fine IMHO. This is a game. Not real life.
