Memes should not affect gameplay

Players who enforce or project the stereotypes associated with champions or roles create a worse environment than the stereotypes themselves.

I understand that this isnt the case all the time, and that maybe the stereotypes have some truth to them. But it's even more toxic to call someone that you have no experience playing with toxic because of a meme. It's fun to call teemo mains toxic as a joke or because it's funny, but when players start taking it seriously and actually start being an asshole to someone just because they pick teemo is ridiculous. There are other examples too.

Adc's are always toxic. I've played adc quite a bit, and the only time when I begin to realize when I'm becoming toxic is when the the fill support screws up and blames me. That i can most of the time brush off. But when the rest of the team who wasn't even watching starts to throw around names and slurs because the support just has to be right, is when it gets aggravating. I get that most of the other adc mains i've played with are super touchy about anything negative you say. But treating adc's like crap because of the meme we've created is even more wrong because it drives the players we want to play with away from the role, and if they actually were toxic then they arent gonna give a crap.

All I'm asking is that many of the team mates I would otherwise deem "Non toxic" still enforce negative stereotypes about me just because of the role or champion i pick, completely disregarding how i play, act, and treat the other players in the lobby.

Not the point about the champion being meta or not. Just tired of people like treating teemo mains like shit because they play teemo.

And other stereotypes .

It's Teemo, It's expected for his mains to get shit.

You the SJW for Teemo mains?

Teemo sucks at teamfights, thats why I hate seeing him on my team. Its essentially a 4v5 and hope teemo can generate enough pressure in side lanes. If he cant then he has to team fight and gets blown up.

I hate seeing him on my team. I love seeing the enemy pick him.

wht du u mean le support can du no wrng.

Fucking retarded that's what it is. Seen a lot of shit supports where the blame of the laning phase gets shifted to their ADC instead of them (lol).

Kinda what im talking about. It's more that it gets shifted to the adc bc whenever the adc calls the support out on something they tell him to shut up bc he's "being toxic"

:/
