Why do we always have to Clash with each other as a community?

I've been playing League since mid-end of season 4 and i'm really starting to get a good grasp on this game after a few thousand games. Last season i peaked gold 1, and this season im currently g2. Now, i've learned a lot throughout the seasons and the thing that is really showing right now is how hostile "indirectly" / slightly "directly" the community is towards each other.

Riot puts A LOT of emphasis on player behavior, however, expressing their hate for a champion on a forum to me is going to far. Not because people shouldn't be frustrated with a champion, but that they legitimately want that champion gutted to the point of not being played. Now, in your own selfish eyes, you the person reading this, can probably relate. However, what is unfun, toxic, and "op" to you, isn't to others. Furthermore, is fun to someone else.

You could be an Annie main, bitch about "mobility champions op" Gut X champ "too much damage and mobility no real weakness" Then the next guy comes and says "gut Annie, too many point and click abilities with too much damage"

Why has this community resorted to, "gut x champion when i dont like playing vs it" And also, why is "this champion needs a rework and doesn't have enough player to player interaction" being used soo much now. I'm seeing people asking for fucking Udyr gutting/rework now. Like holy shit, this guy hasn't been touched since season 3. And now apparently, no mobility 100% melee is broken. Yes, not op, broken into needing a rework. Why? Since when? Sure Udyr is super strong right now, but why are we targeting Udyr instead of all the other variables? Items being the first one I look at.

Don't tell me Riot doesn't pay attention to these QQ threads. They do, I'm not going to get into it with anyone about how they balance around what people cry about on the forums, but they surely do have an influence, more than people care to admit.

TLDR Can we please stop asking for champions to get nerfed/gutted because we don't want/know how to deal with a champion. Its all fun and great when you get that champion nerfed, until someone does it to you, and your main is left gutted for months or years.

You need to realize that over half of the playerbase is in Silver or below, so most of the time they simply don't know what they're talking about. When you try to argue with someone that is around those ranks it turns into an ego battle and people just being stubborn. I don't even try to help people unless I know them anymore because of that, which is a sad thing.

Imo people just need to put there egos aside and accept advice/take the time to learn about the game instead of bitching about their champion being nerfed.

I guess i'm just a little bothered that Riot is catering this kind of behavior when they preach about toxicity being unacceptable. Yet crying on the forums repeatedly over a champion being "unfun" to play against is acceptable.

I wish people would just hike up their skirt and play. Spend less time complaining that something is hard, and more time learning how to beat it.

Because people with different opinions tend to clash with each other.

Also personal opinions on champions are irrelevant to balance, if Udyr deserves to be nerfed he will be, it doesn't matter if his fans get mad, balance isn't about bias. If a champion is broken, people have the right to say it and just because you like said the champion nobody should be stopped from doing so.

Sure, but it's pretty rare that people actually respect each others.

Or how people say that Sona needs to get a huge buff because she's "technically the weakest Support in the game", even though she's so powerful when used correctly.
