I thought people were exaggerating about the community in the summer

Boy, was I wrong. I've had three games in a row outright trolled today. First was a TF who threw a tantrum and bought five tears because he didn't get blue buff. Then was the SAME TF (matchmaking) trolling because he recognized me from the previous game, taunting me that he does it all the time and never gets punished. Then came the Nidalee support, who immediately charged in to feed and said "You deserve it for picking Quinn adc". She continued to try to steal my farm, get me killed, feed, etc.

This mid-high gold. Ranked. I don't...I don't understand. This is insane.

summer quarter is like finding out you have cancer, then being sodomized by a cactus....like 80% of games

Yes its awful, today I had a Tristana leave the game because his support got 3-5 cs and claimed he was, "teaching us a lesson". Like wtf.

This game has the WORST community in gaming by far. The summer and winter breaks (when kids are out of school) amplify how noticeable this fact is x10.

I... in order to make it so I don't play with the same people, take a break. 5 mins....

HOLY FUCK. That explains the toxicity in my games last night. I'm like "haven't played with people this toxic since last year." Not to mention I normally play past 12:00am when these bitches are normally jacking off or sleeping. I'm 15 and I just don't understand why people can't just play the damn game and be polite about what they have to say. I know courtesy isn't really something to expect in MMO's, but the summer community here is just absolutely ridiculous. Though it is sometimes fun to spread love to them. It's a fun way to make them stop talking. Especially when I'm jungler and lamer is blaming me while the rest of my team is on their side, it generally raises their morale.

Just ran into the best Morgana support today. After we got double killed by the enemy adc, she wandered off to top lane and left me alone, saying I deserved it for feeding the enemy.

This [is] mid-high gold.

I take it no one had told you yet that it was just gilding.

It's legitimately immature kids off from high school, I've had one player on my team try to give constructive criticism and another player, and the other player completely took offense to it, as if they just cursed them out, then threatened to afk. It really gets annoying being the only mature one.

Your either going to get trolls, afkers, or inept players. I don't even bother to play ranked at this point. Normals on the other hand are pretty great, rarely have any problems.

Uhm, I don't know what you mean. According to rito, this kind of behavior doesn't exist. You just have to be good enough to carry. Obviously, you are becoming too high of an elo for yourself, that is why you are unable to win games.

You would be a fool to play ranked in the summer during the day. BWA HAHAHAHAHA.

As horrible as it sounds, I'm glad I'm not alone. WE MUST SUFFER TOGETHER

I'm first pick and call out adc/supp prefer, bottom two said they want to duo so I said fine, I'll mid instead. Couple minutes into the game I'm outright winning lane by quite a bit, few minutes later I have 2 kills and a 30 CS lead. Our Ken/Kalista bot lane both have 5 deaths, spend the rest of the game flaming ME because it's my fault I didn't come down there and opted to get the sure kill top (which I did) but it was too late.

Rest of the game, Ken comes to my lane with the sole purpose of farming saying, "I'm going to take your cs since you won't help" Kalista eventually comes and does the same, game ends up how you'd expect it to.

WTF in what country are people having Summer holidays already? It's only May for God's sake! It's still Spring! (I'm from belgium, here we have summer holidays from 1st July to 31st August)

Video compilations, people! If the trolls really come out during the summer, let's expose them all and to Riot's face at that. Exposure is such a good way to combat shade.

I don't think highschool is even out yet, maybe elsewhere? And yeah every summer I find myself just farming the jungle because idiots try to tower dive at level 3 when I gank for them.

Tribunal still not back up or any other replacement system before kids getting out of school for the summer. Sad days. I've seen more people than ever taunting they can do whatever they want because nobody gets punished anymore. I'm sure that's not 100% true, but it sure feels like it's becoming more and more rampant again.

Quinn ADC? Am I missing something? Isn't Quinn ADC or Top? I get that she's an ADC ranged assassin, but that only makes her an even scarier ADC bot lane if you know what you're doing with her. Maybe I'm wrong... am I?

Well you deserve it because you probably trolled other people beforehand. Karma always strikes back, you can't escape it.
