Ranked is more toxic than a nuclear waste dump?

i agree. i find normals more toxic than ranked... however hard that is to believe.

In normals, after feeding so bad the game is 30 to 4 kills at 20 minutes, players wont surrender, even though it doesn't matter. I suppose this is either because they are having fun playing like trolls, or because they get some satisfaction out of forcing the other players to stay a game they have trolled up against their will. Either way, it's incredibly toxic to me.

I'd rather be in ranked where people generally try hard, and at least if we refuse to surrender it's because we're trying to win. I can mute their chat. I can't mute their toxic trolling behavior, which is much more common in normals.

It gets less bad at higher elo. It's another incentive to improve since silvers are usually salty since no one thinks they belong there. I usually try to work wiht people but if they show reluctance I'll just mute them and play my game.

I get good games and bad games just have to take the punches with the awesome games.

Yep. I've had games where everyone just clicked and dominated, and I've had games where I could swear the whole team was a pre-made of trolls, and I've also had games where for whatever reason I'm just off my game, make stupid mistakes, etc.

The key is not to get angry and rage. If you reach the point where you want to smash your keyboard over that Trundle Top who is building straight AP, just stop playing for awhile. Playing angry will NOT improve your game. Raging at your teammates WILL NOT help you win. It's a game, and if you're getting that mad over it then you really aren't having fun anymore. Time to do something else for awhile.
