Toxic Players and Behavior

I've been playing LoL for a while now, over a year, maybe two. I always have to have a short talk with myself before I start the game. "Do I feel like dealing with assholes right now?" Sometimes I am lucky, and get a good team that wants to help each other grow and win. The other 99% of the time, it's basically like playing alone against 9 other people who cannot be distinguished between friend and foe. Oh you have teammates, but they are also your rivals. And many of them behave as though they've known you for a long time and hold a personal grudge against you. Constant competition for last hit gold is a big divider. Unless your lane partner has a gold production item, they probably need some of that gold in order to keep up in the game. That thought just does not occur to most LoL players. Not that they know this and choose to ignore it, I'm saying their brains are so beyond "help others" that that little whispy thought has never run through their heads at all, to be ignored or otherwise. They are only concerned with how strong or overpowered they can get as quickly as possible. This kind of competition between teammates promotes distrust, bitter attitudes, and harassment. The cutthroat style is made so much worse by the anonymity of being an online game. Some things I've seen said between teammates would get you in a fight or worse in real life. Zero respect is shown between these angry, hostile, greedy competitors. I saw someone say to his teammate, "You are fucking garbage." It's dehumanizing behavior. And that's just what this system promotes. Nothing can be done about it really. You either play nice and fall behind, for which you will get lots of verbal abuse, or you become a sort of online mobster. I have not seen the amount of trolls and toxic players that I've encounter in LoL in any other form of online gaming that I've been exposed to (this includes WoW Barrens chat of older days).
