Done with League. (angry rant)
League of Legends used to be my favorite game. I played thousands of games, over the course of 6 years. I've met some incredible people and have had a lot of fun times.
Unfortunately the game has become a frustrating, toxic riddled game full of cry babies, ragers, griefers and just plain scum. We all have our reasons why we play, de-stress, love of strats, teamwork, and heck the game is just plain cool. I've tried so hard these past 2 seasons to keep my cool. In my 6 years of play, I have never been chat restricted or penalized... until now when I have received my first chat restricted which is a 10 game restriction.
Wana know why? saying the words, stupid, dumb, awful. Was it deserved? Absolutely Was it directed at my team? Nope ex: saying the enemy team comp is god awful (in champ select no less) or things in game like "that was a dumb idea to baron".
League is a massive game with thousands of players worldwide. When I first started playing in season 2, I rarely saw toxic players, and people generally knew how to play an objective based game like summoners rift. Unfortunately since the game has become so popular u have an enormous amount of brain dead people who seem to think League of legends is Call of Duty TDM.
Why am I upset? (no specific order)
- flawed automated penalty system
- Toxic community, (especially in ranked)
- Too many people that play league don't understand how to play (how to build, how to position, when to fight and not etc) which obviously makes it a chore and down right stressful to play.
I'm tired of queing up and hoping Ill get a game where my team is co-operative, friendly and supportive. Every single game I'm dealt with toxic players. I don't need to spend my precious time playing a game that frustrates me.
out of 600 ranked games this season, 433 of them I had either:a rager, an afker, a griefer, or an verbally abusive/passive aggressive player. (my team and the enemy team)
Hard to believe after 8 years people think flaming ur own team will win you the game. I personally think 70% of this community is toxic based on my gameplay.
Now I know what your thinking, /muteall. It's no fun playing with a silent team with zero communication.Video games to me, means socializing (whether u wana believe it or not) /mute isnt a cop out for anyone and everyone to be toxic.
The most irritating thing for me are incompetent players. I can't stress how many games I've had incompetent team8s playing on autopilot (in ranked) over half the people playing ranked, have absolutely no business playing it. EX: a support main, queing up for mid to 1st time play irelia mid cuz he or she saw a pro player do it.
This game is 8 years old, and people still don't understand team comps, itemization, common strategy, patterns, or how to play their champ. Look, I get it people have bad games, people mess up, I get it, i really do, I've messed up plenty of times. But the difference is, I try learn from my mistakes, and I would never first time a champion in ranked. If you are playing a certain champion in Ranked you are expected to understand how that champion works/ how to play it. If you've played this game for years, and haven't improved you need to improve your own game play.
People in ranked want to win, not get frustrated and fight with their own team. I really hate it how immediately if you question one of your team8s descions/builds they are automatically triggered and assume you are being toxic. Things like telling an adc to buy armor pen vs a 3 tank enemy comp, or a jungler building full damage despite being 2/10.
I truly wish anyone and everyone who reads this, to strongly consider why you want to keep playing. If you dont care about the game, or you dont enjoy it, then dont play it, dont spoil games and ruin other peoples fun becuase you dont care.
