Interacting with your team is impossible now.

It's not just me I was watching my friend play (he's Bronze 1) and literally no one talked to each other, it's like everyone is afraid of tilting their own team or something. Why is this even an issue when it's a TEAM based game?

Ever since Season 3+ I've been noticing a change in how people play the game, they're even afraid to make aggressive plays because their team will never engage with them, then blame them for feeding?

I think it's reached a point where reporting players has a bigger effect on the game than actually playing the game. Pretty sure players can already see that the average of chat bans are higher than the bans of players that actually feed and troll in their games.

AND

Players that troll and feed will stay off chat, tilt their team and report them and get a win just by punishing the players that are quote "Toxic".

I hate to see the game constantly be shut down like this :\ I just wanna play a competitive game with some thick skinned people that dive towers with me!

That is exactly how I play. I don't typically play hard carry champs, and tend towards tanks and a more supportive playstyle. I usually try to keep an open mind in games, but I watch how my team plays. If they have good awareness, and are intelligently engaging in fights, I'll start making riskier plays. Most of the time though, we end up losing a 3 v. 2 because I engaged assuming my team would do anything, and they just walked away. After that, I don't make risky plays, and certainly don't try to save them.

I loved the feeling back in season 6 when you went into pvp! It was teamfights and dragons all game. The only annoying thing was darius ganks and a caitlyn.

I haven't played pvp for months except for when im testing it out to see if anything changes. But i still feel scared and a surprising amount of afk people or someone who goes nuts after loosing their tower are in the game.

I think I've only reported one or two people in the last month. There is less communication, but much more meaningful communication.

If people annoy me, you can be sure that I'll tell them.

The mistake a lot of people make however is that they push it too much. Either by swearing or talking/complaining too much.

People in these threads always talk about having a “thick skin“ and the like, yet having a thick skin also means that you shrug off trolls and feeders much better.

Yeah, people see any critical analysis and treat it as flame. Like we are behind, we should play defensive and ward up jg = stfu report this guy as toxic.

Whine that we need to teamfight cuz pulling 3 enemies away in exchange for just me is somehow not helping my team? Fine, I'll teamfight... oh now we can't teamfight cuz an enemy is splitting? Make up your mind people - you are hypocrites.

You feed 2v2 and I don't flame, just ask you to play safe please and don't force fights since you're behind. I go even 1v2 and you call me a feeder and toxic because I asked you to play safe or... to group after laning phase because the fed enemy assassin picks you off if you go alone to push a lane. This is the "logic" of players today.

And the "peacemaker" "calm" "rational" ones that just want everyone to get along? Do you stand up for me when I'm flame by someone that's feeding lane because omg I'm 1v2 camped and going even? No. You say nothing. But heaven forbid I say something and point out how said person is wrong and that I'm actually doing better than them... even without considering that I've been camped. Then you step in cuz I'm being "toxic" and "rude" just like the other guy? People are actually insane.

People queue up for a game to report others, not to actually play.

And they rule SoloQ.
