This community sucks. Hard.

Just got through a norm game, playing Lux. At one point, I was literally 11/1/3, my first death coming after I ran bot, got in an extended fight, and killed like 2-3 people. Wanna know how I was congratulated for me carrying through our shitty early game play, with our top lane going somewhere around 0-5 and me being the primary carry of the game at that point?

I was constantly harassed and told that I suck. Like, really, just because mutes exist doesn't mean that's the go ahead to be a dick because people could mute you. Any time I missed a skill shot, and mind you that during the early game I was basically hard carrying and keeping us in the game solo, with everyone forcing stupid plays off of my presence alone, I got ping spammed and told off by 3 out of 4 allies on the team. Only person that wasn't a dick that game was our support, unironically.

Eventually, I decided that I had enough of their shit, but because I don't like inting, I decided to split push and pressure side lanes for the rest of the game (although I did let bot inner fall on purpose, which I later made up for by taking the enemy bot inner and most of the enemy top inner). At that point, my toxic allies got enough momentum to win 4v5 without me consistently while I was splitting, and we eventually won with my allies spamming "?" in all chat at the enemy. Even without team fighting for a solid 10-15 minutes, I out-damaged our jungler and almost out-damaged our adc. So with this in mind, what did I actually do to deserve people flaming me all game? Why do people feel like it's necessary to go out of their way to ruin other people's fun by being toxic, THEN victim blame others because they don't like being harassed online by them? I'm sure people that play this game have people they talk to irl. What changes that makes you enjoy losing with upset teammates more than just playing the game you logged in to play? I'm honestly curious as to why everyone knows LoL's community is highly toxic, but does nothing but perpetuate that notion.

That's a shitty cop out that allows toxic people to get away with being toxic people. As much as I'll use it in ranked since I'm focused on the lp in that environment, why do people think it's fine to be shitty people because I COULD mute them? That isn't the point of the mute option. The mute option doesn't mean this community isn't shit. Why are you guys content with being shitty people to each other?

chip this is why i have advocated to get rid of chat function from game ... and why i pray we never get voice chat in game

Honestly, that might be the answer. Until then, if I even get the slight smell of someone being a douche to me, I'm inting. I'm legit done. This whole night has been one toxic jungler after another. I'm TOTALLY over being the nice guy to get walked all over. It's fucking norms, for Pete's sake. I'm just gonna run it down.

.... so because SOME people are assholes they should remove the ability to communicate in a team game?

i mute someone like once every 100 games or so... and i usually end up reporting people once every 5-20 games.

if you let these morons get to you.. then they win. don't let them get to you. just laugh at their complete stupidity and ignore them.

if its ranked and u cant because it means winning or losing... then don't play ranked.. its not worth it anyways. the system is broken anyways. it is literally easier to place directly into gold with a new account than it is to climb out of bronze... and climbing out of bronze is a joke compared to climbing out of silver. ranked means nothing as long as they continue to ruin the system by putting new accounts above bronze..

shit like that is why I'm in favor of children not being allowed to use the internet tbh. they're irrational, opinionated pieces of shit.

the majority of the playerbase doesn't act like this. if all children 12 and below were removed from the internet, I can guarantee you it would be a much better place.

Then I get a game where I'm flamed for going even against my lane opponent. Like COME ON. I get flamed for NOT DYING during laning when my support is like 0/7, my adc is getting thrashed cause my support went top lane to flame and feed, and my top laner's getting thrashed since before minions spawned. I'M flamed though, for just not dying. I don't get it.

Yeah I mean, welcome to League, I can go 20/2 in a game and still end tilted because of toxic ass people or someone on my team getting pissed and inting, it's just the way the community is, it's sad people are forced to use /mute all (come on that's pathetic that you're forced to mute your whole team rather than face toxicity), and sure you can mute someone, but you can't prevent them from going into your lane, taking your farm, and inting but making it look legit

I started playing League recently, and all i hear about the community is "I have to mute my whole team, that's stupid, why do i have to do that, such a cop out." Honestly bro, who gives a flyin fuck what some no name league of legends player has to say to you. especially if you are in lower elo. these guys no just as much about the game as you do, if not less, so why does it even matter when you mute them if they know nothing and don't have any useful info anyway? anything useful in the game can be pinged and not typed. Just mute all as soon as you start the game, 99.9999999999% of these players will tell you absolutely nothing important in chat, i guarantee it.

I agree. That's the only comment I have for this. I agree.

Yup, 60% of the entire player base doesnt deserve to be playing. Bunch of egotistical moronic cry baby intentionally feeding flaming greifing nerds. Do what I do, mute all dont spend real life money of this game, and play at max 1-2 games a day, and if you do play , play with friends. Else you will just be thrown down into a black hole of despair, and eventually go down the path of being toxic.
