Today I quit League
There is an illness in this community that has ruined countless solo queue games through the years. Today was the final straw though. After coming off a great hot streak in some solo queue, and some fantastic games with my friends, I was put into a lobby with four of the most toxic players I've ever encountered. I managed to stop many afk attempts and managed to stop every surrender vote, gave consolidation, and tried to turn the mood of this lobby. I balanced the team on the edge, and managed to take the lead by helping the angry lanes. Alas. after every fight they would start bickering again, threatening to afk, abusing one another, swearing and being unable to work as a team. It seems there is a problem with matchmaking at the moment. There should be a lobby only for nice players. A physical and visual lobby that if players abuse in, they are removed from it. It would only really work in solo/duo norms/ranks to prevent teams abusing this. It would be the antithesis of the lowprio queues. Players shouldn't start in this lobby either, they should earn it through the commend system. Players should be encouraged at the end of the game to commend someone on their team as well, a prompt or group vote. Something to really mark out the great team players who deserve better than to play with toxic players.
Tldr: Until I am matched with other positive players, it seems my days on League are over.
