WARNING! LOW ELO: DO NOT PLAY RANKED ON WEEKENDS!
If you wanna climb I mean.

My cousin is 14 and he's in diamond. He's also never toxic. Tbh most of the younger people I know that play are generally less toxic than the older people I know.
Anecdotal evidence, well I guess the rest of us are wrong...
Grats, you know a teen that isnt a piece of shit to be around when playing League. There are a good number its true, but on average "kids" as in non-adults tend to live up to the typical adjectives used to describe them: spoiled, bratty, self-absorbed, and of course childish.
If the 12-13 yearolds on Xbox live are any indication, and also the older teens, then were probably really glad we cant hear these assclown kiddies talk.
Studies show that minds that havent fully matured tend to lack empathy (making them more self-absorbed), forethought (doing impulsive stupid actions), and stable emotions (see people tilt in this game? Rage? Tantrum cause they didnt get what the want?).
Largely it all comes down to maturity level. It varies from person to person, generally happens earlier in girls than boys, and is affected by the environment. So when you have immature people spending time around other immature people playing games together, it gets culturally ingrained in them to act like the childish assholes they see around them often.
I could go on about all sorts of factors that exacerbate poor behavior in social settings or games, but we would be off discussing parenting, critical thinking skills, lead levels in the air/water, education levels, and overall gaming experience. Bottom line is kids act like kids and some people never grow up and stay petulant sad children even though theyre in their late twenties or older.
As someone who was unfortunately a bit of a tool when I was a teenager, I can say from experience that teenagers are immature tools that will take nothing but pleasure in being so with anonymity (the internet).
Thankfully I grew up pretty quick, but yeah, I know people in their 30s that act like man children just the same, but I know far more teenagers that act that way.
what do you recommend for teens like me to do to mature
Yep, in fact don't play anything besides ARAM and/or the current Game Mode unless you are in a solid premade.
#YOU WILL BE SHIT ON BY PLATNIUM AND/OR HIGHER ELO PLAYERS IN A PRE-MADE WITH THEIR ONE UNRANKED FRIEND.
I'm pretty sure his point is more along the lines of kids play more on the weekends when they don't have school.
Either way, you are more or less going to have a bad time. But yeah that too.

couldn't you just friend them and climb tho
i feel guilty now
eh... why?
Cz you will get a high percentage of players who are:
Pretty much why you shouldn't play ranked between 3-ish and dinner-time/early evening also.
Or you could actually get better and climb instead of making up excuses.
I've found I climb the most late night weekdays. Weekends are hell.
I wanna drop, my opponents in my elo are way too strong for me. I mean, I can't go 30/0/9, so it must be true. So uh, if I play on weekends, will I drop?

I was actually being sarcastic, reason being no matter how far I drop, my opponents are still going to be the same thanks to riot's mmr system. If you've hung around the board often enough then you'll hear plenty of stories about silvers or bronze playing against plat. The matchmaking is based on the mmr, not the division you're in :<

I know, but it really doesn't matter. The weekend will knock you down no matter what. The worse kids at your elo are on right now and waiting to tank your mmr!
wouldnt that mean it is a better time to climb? I mean the enemy team is going to get 5, and if you duo you are only gonna get 3. So you can stomp them even harder lol
Why on earth would you climb. I ended last season in gold. Which i guess technically is kinda low elo to some people. But now i have not played any solo que and instead play flex in bronze with my friends. My god its so much more fun. In gold i never got to play yasuo aginst a bronze 5 ad lux mid or ap lucian mid. Credit to them for trying to be innovative and do new things but mabye should master the basics first lol. It is definatly much less hassle than gold.

Just gonna comment on this bit.
Gold isn't a low ELO at all. Golds are in the top 20% of the Ranked ladder, which means they're higher than 4 out of 5 players in ranked, which is impressive. Hell, even if you're in Silver 4 then you're in the top 50%.
People seem to have the misconception that because the game is balanced around Plat+ that anything below Plat 5 is a low ELO, which is definitely not the case.
Yeah gold is the top 30% of players but you still get ALOT of flak from everyone saying oh gold is still garbage. Honestly if you solo climb to gold then you can still say youre better than 7/10 players in this game when youre playing at your best which is plenty accecptable. I stopped trying to climb when i got gold and started focusing on improving basic mechanics like farming and map play ect because for me, there is no point in going for plat. WAY to much work just for a slightly diffrent border and icon. I still get the skin either way and i can have more fun in solo que. I play to have fun with my friends i dont solo ranked just for bragging rights you know? It's alright for some but im happy with gold. I get a nifty skin, a nice border and im in a decent enough percentile of players
This is how people interpret arguments like yours
Bronze:-3 Silver:-2 Gold:-1 Plat:0 Diamond:1 Master:3 Challenger: 5
They see you saying: -1>-3 I'm good at league!
Nah don't you know? according to the boards anyone who isn't diamond 3 or higher is trash :v Diamond 5 is all boosted animals, Plat 4 are mechanically skilled players to toxic to ever climb to diamond, Gold is just boosted animals and lucky bronzers, silver is just bronze covered in tinfoil and bronze is what i imagine happens at my neighbors house while their spamming loud mexican music till 4am :v Fiestaaaa
its ok we're all trash
Nah Riots mmr system is bad. I had a game where the enemy team was 1 challenger, 1 master and 3 d5. While we had 4 d4 and a d1. While I was autofilled.
I mean yea I got a free prostate exam.
I just finished my climb back into gold today. Someone has to win, and it may as well be me.
My main issue with kids is that you can't get them to group. They might have good mechanics, they might even win lane, but they will not follow simple instructions.
