The root of this game's toxicity is itself, especially autofill

By making autofill like it is, Riot is forcing junglers and top main to play a role they can't even remotely play at this level. And a role they don't enjoy, or they'd play it.

They then get flamed, tilted, and the next game they will also feed and probably flame themselves. Then you get another autofilled support who is flamed by the guy who was previously autofilled.

All it's doing is making everyone angry, I've never had such low quality League games ever before. There is literally no redeeming factor to this game right now, every game is the same old shit as it has been since Nov 22nd, autofilled support, everyone complaining, autofilled guy just wants to leave and is feeding badly, games drags on and on and nobody really gives a shit anymore and they lose.

What fun is that honestly? How is this system that is creating toxicity better than a few more minutes queue time like S6? And the queues are still like 3 mins long.

It's just not fun, I would genuinely have more fun staring at a blank wall than League at the moment, and it's not because I don't enjoy the game, I would happily play Season 6 League again.

But Season 7 League is utterly abysmal, it's beyond shit tier in game quality. I thought Jagex pushing EOC in Runescape was bad (that caused me to quit on the spot) but at least in EOC it was intended to be a development, this autofill bullshit is a lazy half baked attempt to fix queue times, it's made game quality go from imo the highest it's ever been aside from the long queue times (actual game quality was high) to the absolute lowest it's ever been, where nobody really gives a shit and everyone is flaming.

Until autofill is gone, I am gone, that's the bottom line here. The games are so low quality that I can't even play the game right now, people all over the forums are saying this but I assume Riot don't give a shit because they haven't addressed it despite the 5000 upvote Reddit thread etc.

So yeah, delete autofill or ciao, you've done a Jagex.

And here i thought the toxicity was because it was a highly competitive game, that people have to work together to win, they are forced into groups they do not want to be with, so they flame if they lose at all?

That and more spoiled rotten people, more players that make new accounts just so they can troll and flame, and this has been going on for years?

Root of the problem is that its a competitive game, only way to remove toxicity is remove the game. Or make everyone cybermen. Cybermen dont have toxicity either.

Autofill has been around since november, this game has been known as the most toxic game for years. Do blind pick if you dont want autofill.

Game hasnt really changed at all except for some people are more upset than others, yes it is annoying but after you are autofilled...... Do you not have immunity to autofill for a game or two? If not then you may report that bug.

Btw, if your going to make a half baked excuse to make a big post to say that your quitting, your ego must be quite high. Good bye.

I agree that Autofill is the main issue, considering that it has been implemented ever since Season 0.

the root of this games toxicity is the fact a game lasts 40 minutes and you have to rely on 4 others. 40 minutes just to lose is wasted time. 20 minutes just to get stomped surrender is wasted time

it's not like halo, CS, any other game where you can just leave the game without much penalty, nor is there a massive time investment.

the reason the games community is toxic is plain and simple, competitive. is ranked bad, hell nah, the people who take it to another level are.
