whats this nonsense about toxicity? in 97% of your games, your team ISNT TOXIC

i disagree with the notion that the league community is very toxic

or about playing at a certain times to avoid "emotional kids" or whatever

im just not seeing it. maybe 3% of my games have the "toxic tyler1" who afk's. but the other 97% are legit games where everyone is trying... until its clearly "over"

i seriously am not seeing all this toxicity people are talking about

when your team gets OUTPLAYEd and is 6000 gold behind. sure, at that point, 99% of teams will start to get "toxic". however, in my opinion, being "toxic" once the game is "pretty much over" does not count as being toxic in my eyes. because AT LEAST your teammates were TRYING TO WIN. they just got outplayed. so they lost

you have a team of 5 people, and you ALL TRIED TO WIN. and you got OUTPLAYED and you LOST. sure, once your losing, then people start to get toxic

but the truth is, ALL FIVE PEOPLE WERE 100% TRYING TO WIN THE GAME at the start. and you simply got outplayed

i would say over 1000 games, ive probably only had 30 LEGIT GAMES where i encountered someone i could actually say "didnt want to win" at the start of the game and was pure trolling from the start (running down mid)

so thats 3%. 3% of league games give you a "toxic teammate" that "doesnt care about winning"

the other 97% you have a team that fully intended to win when they pressed "play game". however, in this war of resolve, one team has to lose, in order for the other to win

99% of my games people are toxic. Even excluding me.

Now the bullshit about non toxic people winning more games is false and no proof has been given by riot.

I can assure you being toxic when you want someone to dodge does boost your winrate.

So let me see if I got this right; toxic is only the complete lack of interest in winning?

That's a very narrow definition of toxic.

You are saying that people only count as toxic if they straight-up don't want to win from the start of the game? Yes, I've seen a few of those. Often they don't like someone's pick and decide to troll. As someone who's played a lot of Evelynn, and a few other rarely-played champions, I've seen that on occasion.

But that's not the only way to be toxic.

You don't get a free pass for being toxic just because something isn't going your way. In the last week, I had a Vayne who decided to troll because she died doing a level 2 all-in. She was (presumably?) trying to win up until around 3 minutes in, before she went full troll mode. She was still a troll. I had another game where our team wasn't doing very well except for our top laner, who was 5/0. He decided we couldn't win and proceeded to intentionally feed for the rest of the game after we didn't surrender @ 20. He was still a troll. Both of these were extremely toxic despite the fact that they were trying to win at the start of the game.

People who flame others for every mistake are toxic. People who constantly blame others for their own mistakes are toxic. People asking for false reports on their teammates every time they lose are toxic.

Even if you don't have that on your team, the chances are that they are on the enemy team. And they are always there. When was the last time you saw a single game where someone on the losing team didn't flame or ask for reports on someone in /all chat before the game ended? Because it's a very rare situation for me.
