The League Community
is Toxic. The reason why the player count is going down isn't because of Pokemon GO. It's because The League of Legends Community has gotten progressively more toxic as time went on. Something needs to happen. The Tribunal just isn't good enough.
Someone dies once? Flame. First Blood to Enemy Team? Open Mid. Someone does something you don't understand? Flame. Team scores 25/17 with the same amount of turrets and drags? Open Mid.
I've been playing again for the past two weeks after quitting due to toxicity but I can't ever get myself to stay for the long term. The Solo Queue Community is so toxic that I can literally feel my arms melting off whenever I get into game.
