I'm honestly about to quit because of toxicity
So I was just autofilled as support. I asked for someone to trade roles with me because I know I usually don't play well in the bot lane, but no one volunteered.
My team had picked graves, xayah, ziggs, and diana. Realizing we had no tank, I picked leona. I'm not an experienced leona player, or really any other support for that matter. I tried my best the entire game. I stayed positive even while we were losing the whole time. I even had fun for most of the game.
No one on my team was doing well. Still, I was constantly blamed for deaths that were in no way my fault.
Example : 4 enemies collapsed on me and graves. I ult them and run, and I'm able to get away, but they kill graves.
Graves: "leona level the fuck up."
At the time I was level 11 and I was not underleveled for a support. Graves was level 13. Either way, my being a higher level would not have helped graves survive.
This kind or irrational blame continued throughout the whole game, but most of the toxicity took place after the game. I went 1/9/4.
I didn't screenshot but it went something like this:
Graves: "report leona for int" Xayah: "^" Enemy Sejuani: "ok"
I tried to argue that I was not intentionally feeding and that I had tried my best at a role I don't play but this triggered even more toxicity. I didn't even have the most deaths ON MY TEAM. And even IF I had done well, it would not have changed the outcome of the game. It would not have stopped ziggs from getting camped by the sejuani in mid lane, or diana from getting crushed in the top lane. Yet 100% of blame goes toward me.
I still can't understand how these players' minds work! Every single game I play, there's ALWAYS someone saying "report x player" as if the entire loss is upon a single member of the team! And it's usually ONLY BECAUSE they have the worst score on the team. This logic is childish and absurd. I would NEVER be the type of player to blame a loss on one member of my team.
I try my best to mute and ignore toxicity, but after a while it gets to me. I don't know what makes this community so toxic but it really drains me to be attacked every time I mess up. I can't take it anymore.
