League of Legends Community in a nut shell.

Hello all Summoners,

I am just like you, an avid League of Legends player that enjoys the game very much. But one thing that has been very frustrating and demotivating for me is the fact that the community is very toxic and vile to one another. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of players that are kind and will be helpful to one another to reach victory. But the fact of the matter is that more and more of, one of my most enjoyed games, community is being trashed and tainted.

I am currently a Silver III player (only started ranked this season about 2 days ago, but I have had plenty of experience under me), and in some games I will get great teammates whether we win or lose we are fine with each other. But 90% of the time I have either had one or more toxic player flame and blame one another for making a mistake or had one player that gives constant abuse and it drives me nuts. Whether it is aimed at me or a teammate I attempt to calm it down but the more it happens the more it demotivates me to play ranked.

Here is my most recent example, I am playing Master Yi jungle and I die from being counter-jungled by Vi. I then get in the chat "Yi wtf." At that time I explain what happened and I get no response. As the game continues I help teammates and it doesn't make a difference as both my teammates and myself die, but I constantly get blamed and ultimately I am told to be reported for helping the team and going in on a fight to solo out an opponent.

This is something that I think ruins Riot's best game and I think that something really needs to be sorted about this as it can annoy players and cause more losses than usual. This is another reason why I think the ranked system is extremely harsh to players that put in a lot of effort and still end up losing because of players abusing them and flaming, as it shows that although players can do their best, but not have the game in their favour, they are punished with a loss of LP to go up a division as well as being reported.

Please Riot, here this and understand that a lot of players can have this struggle and don't enjoy it.

Thankyou,
