Why are there so many toxic Chinese people on the NA server all of a sudden?

Legitimately, I have never ever seen this many Chinese speakers, and it's not like they're nice either.

For them, one death is GG, criticize them for one thing, they troll/afk/rage.

Did we merge servers or something?

They started doing it in big numbers when LMQ imported to NA back in... season 4? Season 5? They've always been really obnoxious, rude and extraordinarily toxic.

I think the mentality of the Chinese players is kinda similar to the Korean ones. They usually play really well until something goes wrong, then it becomes a "gg get me outta this game" and int/troll.

They are probably used to playing against infallible opponents that really punish their enemies even with the slightest advantage so it feels hopeless to them back home and they lose interest and just stop trying so hard.

The general mentality of western players tends to be more forgiving, the "never give up" attitude is much more prevalent here than it is there, it could also be a cultural thing. Theres a lot of pressure in Asia to doing things perfectly, or to be perfect not just in League but in every day life. Especially for students (the majority of people playing this game).

I also think there's a superiority complex where these players from overseas look down on NA players to a point where if you tell them they're messing up they almost always will troll or disrespect you.

There are also a lot of parachute kids that have too much money early on in life and are basically spoiled brats and that definitely affects their attitudes. Coming from a place where status means a lot its a huge deal.

Although I do not know why all of a sudden theres so many of these players suddenly in NA, I feel like this is the reason alot of them are toxic.

(I use them in context because even though I'm ethnically Chinese/TW myself I grew up here and started playing League on the NA server since forever.)

I definitely could have worded and structured this better but I'm at work and I'm in a rush to jot everything down in form that's mildly coherent.

I hope this helps you understand a little bit better why in general these players tend to be more toxic than the ones here.

If they were infallible they wouldn't be in Gold/Plat/low Diamond games where they spend most of their time. They hold others to a significantly higher standard than they hold themselves.

When is ironic when they think NA is a bunch of subhuman dogs and then expect us to play the same way they do.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to come across as trying to defend these guys. I just wanted to try to help explain to OP why they always seem to be toxic. I know when I see RNG fans in my games with pretty obvious Chinese names, I really try my best to follow up with whatever they're doing even if I think its a bad call, because if we somehow manage to make it work it won't cause them to tilt off the face of the earth, and with them our team. It's annoying but sometimes it can be a blessing when things all seem to go right and they hard carry the game. Honestly though sometimes I get the frustrations of other players too because if you're not used to playing with them or against them it really does seem straight up toxic.

Again I'm not defending these guys, I think their attitude sucks, I'm just trying to give a bit of insight with the experience I have, and my own knowledge of the culture. Hope this helps!

We're easy for Asians because we don't like them going afk and telling us in their native language they fuck our mothers?

Hm....

Oh no, the chinese are invading and are starting their attack on Riot first.

It's still even worse on PUBG, the servers on that game legit suck and just have like no region lock, so often I'll get squaded up with a whole team of chinamen who like to teamkill and then play a revive/shoot you back down really fast move on you

Considering they all get such shit ping, I can only imagine their reason for wanting to play with us is simply to hate speech against America... but thats fine because we all know america #1 still

I ran into one that demanded blue buff from me when I was fed and he was 0/1 and he even started taking it himself while giving up a double wave mid, so I smite it away from him and he immediately disconnects and never came back. This sort of stuff has to stop

They are kinda funny though

Maybe always responding to them with harsh critique on the chinese government will lead to their government trying to prohibit them from playing on foreign servers :p

Verxint1 votes

I think it's people who got banned from Chinese servers, and I may be wrong but you need some government ID for all your online things so it's hard for them to make a new account. Instead they come here to be toxic shits

They're probably going to play terribly as well.. the lag difference going from Garena -> NA will not be trivial.

Just ran into this problem today playing ARAM. I died once and they wouldn't stop flaming me and calling me trash and spamming pings at me the entire game even though I was doing well and they were all inting. I kindly asked them to chill out because ITS ARAM but was simply met with more flaming. I'm asian myself and I think this experience just TURNED ME RACIST towards other asian players on League because I fucking hate them now, Absolutely ruined that CASUAL ARAM GAME.

(as you can probably tell I'm really irritated)

I was checking on the news about the new champ then i saw this topic. I am a Chinese player and if our bad behavior in na server somehow ruined ur game experience, im truly sorry! You guys are right, some use VPNs to play in na server because they are banned from all Chinese servers, and it is just that kind of players being toxic and arrogant all the time doent matter which server they play. Please do not make this topic go beyond game by attacking China or its people, cuz 99% of us hate toxicity in games as you guys do. (tbh their broken English is embarrassing me as well so plz do not judge them as most of Chinese players.)
