Troll Epidemic?

Håppy·Jun 22, 2019·4 votes·3,139 views

Anybody else noticing this? This just.. massive influx of people who will do everything they shouldn't? Locking Kennen and splitpushing, or not stacking on Nasus, or building full AP comp around a Mordekaiser, or not farming, and only responding with weird shit like :) when asked if they could teamfight/stack/take different champions/last hit/what have you? It's almost every game since this new patch hit and I don't know what the hell is going on at this point. I'm not saying "poor hard done by baby me", a loss is a loss it's whatever I can win another game. But the same general response from every single person is what's puzzling the hell out of me. Is anybody else noticing this/

School is out yea? Last I checked children are not inherently mature. Correct me if I am wrong but is there not 45 hours weekly of being in class that's now non existant as well as the removal of X hours of homework they have to finish?

for the most part yeah

there might be some kids still in school (for one reason or another) but the majority are out and have all the free time in the world for the next 2-3 months

Yes it's worse. I also figure it is due to Summer Break being here. Today I have been called a dumbf*ck by my ADC who then quit the game, loss. Then later I was support Naut and my ADC died twice in the first 5 min and quit, loss...

Out of 5 ranked games today 4 of them had int feeders/afks, all losses. People in general are being more toxic too. Everyone is rude etc.

I'm liberal with my mute button and always report.

But yeah, I'm now sitting at the bottom of Silver 4 after falling from high Silver 3. Was gearing up for my Silver 2 promos and now have to slog back from the bottom of Silver 4, ugh. But the way these games are going I don't know if I'll ever get there.

It's rough out there.

Literally throwing the game at champion select despite people telling you to not go AP: Not bannable.

Winning the game with an offmeta and losing because your teammates AFKed because people hate Teemo players: Bannable?

They told me I was trolling by playing support Cho'Gath. I have an above 90% win rate with him. There is a difference between playing outside the meta and trolling. Split push Kennen is a thing. AP Nasus is a thing.

It's entirely that school is out, and kids love to troll.

Just ranked in the mornings before they wake up. No kid plays before 10AM EST. I absolutely do not touch ranked in the evenings during the summer months. I just get all the fucking shits who think they are good, aren't, rage, and troll, while the enemy gets the god tier kids that sunk hours and hours into being great at the game. The pool of players in inherently too volatile right now outside of the morning hours.
