Mystery Solved: Why is my elo so toxic? =D

Good Morning Summoners!

  Here's the big brain buster in black and white. The reason most of low ELO players are so toxic is because they are toxic. When you are a positive force and don't ragequit or ragesplode all over your teammates after one mistake or a bad laning phase and you remain focused there is a much better chance you will still win that game. But once you point out someones mistake which surprise surprise if their screen is grey they ALREADY KNOW they made a mistake.

 No need to point it out, tilt is a real thing. You are more likely to make mistakes when you're standing still typing, wanting to upset the other player for upsetting you, so you're feeding or not going where you know you should be and going off somewhere else. etc. etc.

 All the non-toxic players are in higher elo because they are non-toxic. For the most part. There are still REALLY good players that can be toxic. But for the most part you win games by having a good time and no one is having a good time when they're being morally destroyed by counter-productive comments. 

 Everyone is looking for that one champion, in that one role, with the perfect build that will get them out of "elo hell". Well guess what they don't exist (props to riots ability to keep the game balanced, not perfect but damn close!)

tl;dr: If you want to go up in rank. Follow this motto most of your mom's probably taught you growing up "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

GL Summoners.

Respectfully Submitted, Cylent

SURPRISE NEWS FLASH. WHEN THEY SEE THEIR SCREEN GREY THEY DONT KNOW THEY MADE A MISTAKE THEY BLAME OP CHAMPION NO HELP FROM TEAM OR SOMEONE ELSE. THEY DONT SIT BACK AND SAY WAIT HE WAS 3 LEVELS OVER ME OR WAIT HE HAS 3 ITEMS I HAVE 1 I SHOULD NOT HAVE FOUGHT THAT.

THE ISSUE IS THEY DONT THINK!!!!!

Guess Diamond is low ELO too because these people are just as toxic as the bronze and silvers I've met.

And you pointing that out fixes it or makes them play worse?

You're not wrong, I've seen plenty of players that are mechanically better than anyone in the game but they lose because they have bad attitudes.

I prefer the motto "Don't be a dick", but your works nicely too.

Though, I can confirm that Platinum ELO (or at the very least, Platinum 5) is still horribly toxic. Gold 4 to Gold 2 and Platinum 4 to Platinum 2 were fine though.

This post is just yuck.

Toxicity is there at all levels, moreso at lower ELO because there's going to be a lot more there to set it off
