I am having a terrible time playing this game, I only started it because its the only game my friends play anymore. I created an account and played a few bot games, then I start with PvP. The community is so terrible that I am sure 4 people on my team and at least 3 on the opposing team were "Smurfs" (a term I learned from my friend who plays lvl 30) They tell me to uninstall or to quit, complain that I am loosing the game for them, and the other team is thanking me to making the game easy. I thought the whole point of the level system is to make it so my level 4 account only plays with other level 4 accounts. Why is it am I being matched with players who are way higher level than me. It is terrible to play this game, I can't learn anything because I am being bullied. Even in bots i've been told to uninstall or quit or my team tells the others to report me. "Jinx insta report" "lol noob jinx, report" How am I supposed to learn or play this game when all the players are like this? Your system needs to be fixed, its unfair and has been stressing me out to the point of never wanting to play this game.

I feel like chat should be restricted until level 15-20...SO TOXIC at lower levels.

I recommend that you avoid PvP until you can handily beat bots (as in plural) at intermediate difficulty by yourself.

Youre new. Like... Dude. Youre NEW.

Do you use skype? If so, play with your friends. Otherwise, stick to bots.

I say this without vehemence; if youre new, stick to bots. youl learn more by playing against them until you reach the point where you can land skillshots 80% of the time and have an average KD of 10:1.

And actually, the community in league of legends has a severe E-peen complex where "LOSING HORRIBLY AGAINST PLAT 1 PLAYERS TEACHES NEW PLAYERS HOW TO PLAY". In reality, this is wrong, and just makes new players quit the game.

Don't listen to these other people, just keep playing, ignore what people say in chat. Mute people if you want. Anyway, matchmaking will split you off from smurfs pretty quick, usually around 7-8.
