This game is absolute trash for the last 3 years
First and foremost I've played this game since season 1 and I have been challenger twice and my main sitting at d4 so this is not coming from some inexperienced silver pleb who just want to bitch and complain the past 100 games, I conducted a survey, I have counted in 73 of them in which one or more players were hard inting, griefing and doing everything in their power to ruin the experience for the people on their team, both enemy and my own. I created a smurf just for this. Out of 100 games I had 43 people disconnect on my team or the enemy team as well. That's an astonishing rate for what is supposably a balanced competitive game.
I think it's safe to say what loses you games more often than not at this point is the rampant, out of control toxicity and grief mentality. It's the default response at this point and it has been since season 4 it seems like. You disagree with someone in pregame or in game? They start griefing. You lose first blood? Someone starts griefing. You get ganked and have a bad start? Someone starts flaming you and griefing, and it isn't exclusive to just your team, this isn't another "boohoo I lose every game because my team sucks!!" post, I see at least once almost every game someone trolling or griefing, in some form. Winning because the other team has someone who is 1/10 and just trolling isn't fun, and losing when you're in the position is soul crushing and makes you feel like shit.
You can't even say anything to these players without getting punished which is a complete joke. Riot expects you to just mute and be a robot while they run down your lane int feed and make it impossible to carry them. They run up the mid and feed 20 kills that's okay as long as they didn't type they won't even get the ban hammer but if you get annoyed with people wasting your time in 75% of your games and say something then it's o you're toxic etc and your the one who gets a 2 week ban. I was challenger twice on this game now I don't even wanna play it without smacking the creators in the face.
I was banned for two weeks because I called a 0-21 hard griefing jungler in my ranked game a trash can. Was that a terrible thing to say? Yeah, it was, but I was mentally defeated after losing like almost 12 games in a row prior to that to the same fucking thing, getting a player on my team who decides it's easier to troll and grief than to actually use their brain. My point is the fact you literally can't even defend yourself from these people anymore, you say anything to them and you get in trouble, you ask for them to be reported and they flame you and then make it something in after game lobby about how horrible you were to them and that you need to be reported, ect.
Then they go onto troll and int more games and ruin it for even more people, while god forbid, if you said something even remotely not nice to them for their abhorrent behavior, you get chat restricted or banned for 2 weeks. This ban system is a joke and just a way for riot to make more money. They know that low skill players spend on average 100's of dollars more then higher elo players the average player spends 250 dollars on their account. So they punish the skilled players for getting upset with constantly carrying toxic garbage a 1000 games in a row and as soon as they say fk it I'm tired of this shit and flame someone for being the piece of shit they are (Griefing, Hard Inting etc) BAM 2 week ban. This game is cancer and it hasn't been fun since season 3 or 4 imo. At this point there is no fixing this game it will die soon. People claim this game has a 30 million player base I beg to differ. I guarantee you at least 60-70 percent of this games community are smurfs who were banned at some point for getting tired of the way riot caters to disgusting troll pos instead of people who actually put time into become greater. At this point there is no way to fix this game it is disgusting and has the most toxic community I've ever seen out of any game I've ever played and I have over 300 different games at least so that says a lot. Good players can't even solo queue to the top anymore because the chances of having some filth troll on their team are so high they have to duo so that the chances are less. I'm packing up my bag on this game it's absolute trash and it's not even fun anymore just a stressful annoying game at this point.
