Why League Players are toxic
When I first started playing the game I was a nice and sportsmanship-like player. But as I'm now lvl 46 I'm becoming toxic. I do know why, and I think this applies to a huge part of the player base for their toxicity.
- Being a Wuss has too much agency
This applies to mostly support and playing against
. Some supports just stay back and heal
and never even taking trades or poking. And it doesn't matter if they're out of mana because they're in the fog of war an jut recalls. This isn't even a support. You aren't even being punished for it unless if its a champion that can snipe
. You aren't even being punished for being a wuss. For
mostly in low Elo, some are too scared to even switch to their melee and just always go for their ranged form. And yet it doesn't matter because they still provide agency even though they're being a wuss.
-Champions Greg Street/Ghostcrawler explained-on-successful-champs that one of the aspects of a good champion is to be fair to play against. Many are not.

He could've been a good champion. But his turrets makes him impossible to gank on. Or dive on. It doesn't get easy as a melee.

She is skill expressive, But her AP scaling and her W (spellthief) isn't. She isn't punished for being harrassed if she gets a
or
. And that's what's frusturating.

He's way too easy. You don't need to get enemies on the end of your E because its already tiny enough to dodge skillshots if your team can follow up it doen't get more fair. He can easily get insane AP from his passive and its just too cancerous to play against.

I have been noticing that the visuals on his Q is much smaller than its actual hitbox. if it is near but not actually touching an enemy it still will catch them. In Urf he can never die because he can just ult whenever you solo kill him no matter how much skill you have.
-Balance team
The balancing team is the wrost in any game, they should really take inspiration on how calculated balance is being used on games like clash royale. It has complicated mathematics involved while league isn't. This youtuber named OJ shows how impactful it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrKTpJKbY8w&t=66s. The balance team doesn't understand "Meta" and "OP".
has been over nerfed. Irelia was just so close to being one of the most respected champion when the user is skilled with it. Like
or
. Riot doesn't understand the difference between skill and OP. The patch right after her rework, her E turned into a microstun. Like, what the fuck.
has been SOOO over buffed. Even when she became OP they still buffed him.
nerfs were unfair. She was a good example of "Meta" but balanced. in the tank meta people drafted her to counter champion that counter tanks (in lane) like
. Her Q's high true damage and her ultimate makes her very strong against tanks. But they still Nerf her. Riot isn't smart of buffing an OP champion's counter and instead just nerfed an OP champion to the ground.

-Matchmaking
Matchaking is a huge problem, you can't carry your team. You don't start a game and ask "How hard can I carry?" instead you ask "How much does my team feeds?" some players I see in low Elo and should be in gold or even platinum. But nope, they're in silver/bronze. I have been matchmade with a very good
jungle who should be in a much higher Elo. When I was starting in EU, I played with a very smart and good
jungle. But my "bot lane"
(the illaoi wanted top but this is blind, I said top first but the "Platinum" smurf still picked illaoi) wouldn't even leash for him. He would've been so much better with red but I have to leash for him at blue because his team puts him down. These days I've been demoting. I'm in silver V if I get bronze I'll never escape it. Because there's so much feeders and trash people.
-Good champions Riot should take inspiration
Don't get me wrong there is a few champions that are very well designed and balanced.
-
He's incredibly fun to play, and his art fulfills his playstyle very well, and decently easy to learn. Landing your ultimate into your Q is satisfying. Bodyslam-flash combo is also satisfying. And those are what makes him take skill. He has a variety of playstyles, runes, and builds. Arcane Comet, Electrocute, and Aftershock all work well on graggas but makes him played differently. You can build him like normal tank. Or have some fun with AP graggas.
-
His design fits his play style quite nicely. His play style has a huge variety, AP or AD. He is satisfying to play one you master the art of trickery with your clone. And once you master the art of baiting. He is incredibly fun to play and skill expressive.

She is incrediby skill expressive, well designed, and fun to play (once mastered). She has a variety of rune options each with unique play styles. She is a good split pusher and team fighter. Her design and lore is incredibly well matched with her play style and has a lot of good matchups but bad matchups at the same time.
has his Q up to 80 percent. Veigar's R has the same scaling, and that's an ultimate. Zoe's Q has roughly 5 second cooldown at max level and CDR. Pulling Off max range is easy as R has a 10 second cooldown or lower. Saying that zoe has one of the "Lowest AP scaling" is an understatement. There are many moments in competitive play where zoe one shots somebody. Because zoe uses paddle star at max ranged most of the time, it doesn't matter about her minimal scaling. Some champions have incredibly low AP scaling.
's miasma has a AP scaling of 15%. it's not like twin fangs where you spam it. It has a roughly 10 second cooldown.
E has only a 30% AP scaling. For zoe, even if you're close. What most zoe players would do is use E as it has a low range excluding walls. Then walk back a little and use her Ult backwards and fires a nuke at you.
top with
, because I fully expect to get cornered when playing his most optimal way. But..... I win the game AND gold by doing so. I usually also win the lane, when the bored "no trade" hating opponent dives my turret and I nail him to a wall. and potentially whatever jungler is helping him.
