Why League Of Legends doesn't actually reward good consistent play

If you are at top lane and your bot lane gives up 6 deaths in the first 5 minutes...there is nothing you can really do. Bot lane is fed, jungle and mid will now focus on other things. Its hard to comp back from that. Most of the time, with random teammates, you will not.

I am not opposed to rewarding players for early kills. But it should be minimal early so that a team doesn't snowball just from one person's early mistake in lane. This would allow breathing room for mid and top or whoever to not panic and still try their best knowing its recoverable. The edge the enemy team should have for being ahead early should be slight, compared to later on. Right now the edge is too much.

This game is fundamentally flawed in is thinking and logic and clashes with human nature. That is why everyone is so toxic.

But now, wait, its the players fault right? Millions of toxic players...its all on them right? They are all the ones that are the problem? Or MAYBE the game, inherent in its design, brings out the worst in people because a players individual ranked is based on things mostly out of his or her control. Not only that, the select champs that have the most cheese in their kits feel fundamentally unfair to play against, and adds to the frustration if you don't main the chosen few who Riot lets be over powered and too easy to win with.

This game sets everyone up to fail as players and as people. If Riot doesn't wake up, they will eventually become irrelevant as better games roll out over the years. When that happens, I hope that these companies have the sense to not hire anyone who ever worked for Riot. A company that has lost perspective (they make money, but he game gets less fun over the years, just like McDonalds makes a lot of money, but its crap food) and who employee base is inbred with people in positions because of who they know or who's dick they are sucking.

I don't understand why I am the only one who sees it this way. And yet, I will get responses on here that attack me as a person instead of addressing the points I made. Happens every time, which is sad, because it tells me that ht people on these boards are some of the stupidest small minded people around...or they are just terrible people who get off from trying to upset others (FYI, one of the biggest character flaws a person can have--literally enjoy others suffering in a sense, seeing them mad or frustrated. Its not a far cry that given enough power and the right situation these same people would easily become tyrants and monsters, upgrading from merely seeing people upset to causing them pain and harm).

We all get games when someone feeds. Statistically speaking it will happen eventually. Early leads are super impactful and thats fine. without such large boosts in gold to a player or team it would be much harder to end a game early. That would really affect the winrates of champs that are strong early but fall off later.

The game isn't made to bring out the worst in people. People just often get a mindset they they deserve a higher division, but they are unaware of how to actually play at such a level.

Your title is super misleading, you really don't talk about consistency at all.

Also the game isnt going to fall off anytime soon. It has been for a few years and will continue to be one if not the most played online games in the world...
