if you think league community is in good state
just look at the reminder that tells you teammates do worse if you harass them.

Toxicity is an internet phenomenon. It's not just in the league community. Anonymity + competition tends to make people point fingers, flame others, and just in general try to anger other people. Why do we tend to do this? I can't even begin to say. However, ending toxicity starts with ourselves. It's a hard problem, and I applaud Riot for the stances that they have taken against it. They put a lot of effort into reforming their community.
Bear in mind that if you're seeing toxicity elsewhere, that your behavior may play a part of it. I'm not saying it's definitely you or you're causing other people to be toxic as I don't know you or your situation.
I myself need to better myself with how I deal with toxic players, and from time to time, I have probably been the problem. I just hope that eventually the internet tends towards harmony and less towards toxicity.

Speaking the truth on the topic, I see at least 2 highly toxic players per match
i find it funny that riot puts in all this effort for counteracting toxicity but when it comes to releasing solo que, not only do they lie to us, they fooled us for several months.

Riot got the cause and effect reversed.
I don't suck at this game, so I never experience other players berating me.
