Ever since I got allied chat turned off, my games have been less frustrating and it feels overall less toxic.

I recommend every player in the world to turn LoL off and never support Riot Games again.

With mute all you can still lose your shit and say something bad. With allied chat off, i protect myself from saying things to that 0/12 Singed who runs it down and ruins my ranked.

I absolutely agree. In low elo, there's very rarely any good tactical conversation happening in team chat anyway. (I know because I live there.)

I recommend becoming Tilt proof to an extent.

Here is a frustration simulator to help any one who is looking to thicken their skin. Id say your welcome yall but... no one will thank me for that link if they try to beat that game.

I like the allied-chat-off option, but the toxicity of this game doesn't really come from chat. That's just where it surfaces.

It comes from the matchmaking. Some days it's game after game of good teams that stomp the opponents, and other days it's game after game of afk and trolls. NEITHER of these is fun long term. Sure, the stomps are a little fun, but after a while the pattern is really annoying.

I don't believe in ELO hell.. If you are good enough, you can carry win all but the worst of games. I've climbed B5 to S2 a bunch of times, usually to run out of steam at the end of the season.

However, to have teammates in silver-4/3/2 that go 1/13/3 and just keep face-checking bushes and screwing around when I'm trying to win is beyond irritating. They obviously somewhat know how to play, or they would be ranked lower. ( Unless they are legit boosted, but I don't think that many players are. )

I really wonder where it comes from.. How does someone get out of crap ranks and then have a game where they just troll and feed. Are they trying to lose rank? Do they enjoy trolling teammates? Are they high and just don't care?

How can it be fixed for SoloQ? It's a really tough problem.
