As a 26 year old married adult playing this game. I literally get to the point where I have to "lay low" on the game because of the tweens and teens out for summer vacation.
Everything from gameplay to manners to flat out dialogue is horrid during this season.
Best day of the year to play is the day all the little tyrants return to school.
Anyone else experiencing this?
As a 17 year old, bugger off. I see plenty adults act like morons too.
Not sure about it just being "Kids" cause there's some quite the amount of immature adults, who rage just as much as "Kids" do. So I wouldn't goes at far to say its all kids. The average player on league is 17-21, so I REALLY doubt most of them are little raging 12 year olds.
Not all kids are whiny brats.
Not all adults aren't.
The absence of school sessions making the game become ore toxic (than usual) is a quantifiable, observable fact.
The case for correlation is notable, overall.
And yes, it's tiresome.
To you good, mature younger set out there? Good on you - these threads aren't about you. Don't get offended by them, all right?
To the "toxicity is my right, grow a thicker skin! KILL YOURSELF YOU NOOB!" ADULTS out there?
The kids have a chance to grow out of it. You should just get gone already.

Noobs...as far as the eye can see.
Eh, as long as you don't think all teens are little fuckers
Image a 6 year old attempts to enter the adult queque."You need to be at least 20 years of age to enter the adult queque." "You will need to wait 14 more years in order to enter the adult quence."
Why do you adults complain about the kids. . .
Shout out to all the kids who are actually trying to make a positive impact on the community by shutting these clowns out. I've seen them around. You're doing God's work, kiddos.
I hear the mute buttons pretty cool
In the same fucking boat. Also 26 (nearly married.) Game is bullshit at this time of year.
This will be me playing League
summer is time for single player games :/
While I agree with some aspects of this, not every teen player is toxic nor a troll, such as myself. If so, there is always the mute button. You have to take in account that just because you encountered a few toxic teens/Tweens, it doesn't mean all of us are.
Making a generalization that we're all just messing around and bming others doesn't really help anything either. I'd like to argue that I'm actually literate and polite in game as a fifteen year old. Not all of us are bad apples.
Now, I think I am an Exception(14yrs). I don't really rage/afk/disrespect anyone, and just try to give feedback without criticizing. I don't become an LCS sheep like everyone else who considers everything off-meta a troll thing.
It's funny because most of the people replying to this are probably kids acting like they aren't. I am not afraid to say I'm 15.
30 + married + 3 kids
Same boat.
LOL i'm 26 too man. right there with you, that's what the mute button in game is for xD
Yep. My boyfriend and I can't stand playing LoL during summer. People are so mean ans disrespectful, muting them doesnt even solve anything as it is the same for all the gamez i've been playing since june.
My experience with league:
It's pretty child like posting this on the forums generalizing all teenagers playing League of Legends to be immature assholes.

Yes, I am definitely experiencing this. I decided to record my win-loss ratio before and after school goes out for kids. Before Spring Break for students (April): 28-21 After Spring Break ended (April): 31-38 (I would go on an 11-1 run as soon as school started back up for kids) Win loss would become 42-39. Before School went out (Summer): 53-57 Lowest Point in summer: 68-84 Current Record: 111-123
When school is out for kids, I am 61-83. I am 50-40 when kids are in school. Every game there is a troll, or someone who rages after first blood, or just people who flame all the time.
Amen.
Oh, well I hate the fact that my room is hot as hell every time I play.
So much could be resolved by just removing chat in game. We already have an advance Ping system and the teams all use Vent or Teamspeak.
Yerp
The sad part is I'm 18 and play better than and in a much more positive manner than someone of these older players. Shitty players are shitty players no matter the age.
I think it's the league community in general. I am 25 and have seen 30+ year olds be the worst trolls.
I switched to Heroes of the Storm and have yet to regret my decision.
In the same boat, only 25 (not even close to get married, but with baby). Game is not good at this time of year.
During the summer I find it best to queue up during the AM hours.
As a 15 year old long time player, I must say I see as many kids acting like assholes as adults on this game. The asshole ratio does not increase during summer vacation, your tendency to notice asshole behavior is what increases.
Just in to say - I'm 26 too. Why are the majority of us who feel this way, about 26?! Haha.
Playing on Sunday afternoon any time of the year is terribad. Never play ranked on Sunday afternoon. Also, I'm 40, and its easy to tell the ragey teens. The your mum and dick insults usually give it away.
I once had a guy in a game call me kid. I asked him how old he was that he felt he could call someone else kid. He answered 17. I laughed and told him my age. He didn't type in chat again for the rest of the match.
I've dealt with this crap since the first PAX (when the player base shot up), and then it only got worse during Season 1 as it tripled... twice. So imagine how I feel. I'm 30, my friends are all in their 30s that play... We've simply gotten accustomed to rotating to waking up early for work, around 2-3 AM and playing until we go to work around 8, instead of playing when we get off work. Granted that was harder for me when I was still married, but hey.
get some friends
