Why are people doing this and what is this doing to our community

So I was playing league of course just hanging out with my friend andrew who is the level 1 poppy in this game that did nothing since ya know his baby started to cry and he went to go take care of her. See the thing is, that like I understand that someone being afk or whatever must be very frustrating and so on and so forth but like ya know sometimes you can't stick around league and you have to give up a game because a pressing matter comes before the game itself. When people leave a game due to such things they fully understand what comes next with leaving such as punishments and repercussions for doing it and yet people gripe regardless whether or not they know the situation. If people just griped that would be fine but somehow they reach deep down inside and pull out this hate, racism or whatever it may come to be. Look sure I may have been at a bachelor party and been drunk and Andrew and I may have just wanted to play some games of league whether or not we were drunk but that doesn't mean people should bring out hate and racism and harass us even if we aren't around to see it. The league community is suffering from this gross degradation and it's not because the community is old and perhaps sour but more or less that as a large community, we as people have to come to understand these situations we have to learn to accept that life isn't always a yellow brick road and not everything turns out fine and just accept the circumstances and make the best of them. I really don't know how the racism just came but this is really sad to see coming from anyone in the world. Anyway I just wanted to share thank you to anyone who took the time to read and understand my feelings or not, either way thank you, anyone and everyone. Have a great night and remember, just like I want to always do just have fun with league of legends because as much as this game may very well be serious it's also a game and games exist for fun, even pro sports players want to have fun playing basketball or football. Thank you everybody.

Yeah he will get banned if you pass that along in a support ticket or were able to report him for the same type of comments in-game. Afks do suck, but I'm sorry you had to deal with THAT~

Just giving you a heads up though that leaving the names in your screenshot is highly frowned upon, so if you want your post to stay up you might want to censor them or people will give you grief for it.

How is this any different from 12 year olds calling you the N word on CoD? It's not our community that this is a problem in, it's everything online. Give someone anonymity and they'll behave like monsters because they can.

Or you could grow up and mute/report?
