I honestly dislike this game's community

So I just played 5 or 6 games, and I've had someone either intentionally begin feeding or just goof off and grief their own teammates every time. All because they were dissatisfied with the way their team was doing things or they got butthurt by a comment that was said by another player. I can honestly say that I come across people like this in probably 50% of my ranked solo/duo queue games. Of every online game I've ever played, League of Legends honestly has the most toxic community I've ever come across. It makes me wonder if higher elos aren't as bad. It makes me want to climb up there to find out. But I can't really climb if I'm having afks, dcs, rage quitters, and griefing in every lobby I enter. Sure, I understand it's a competitive game and things get heated from time to time. But this is just ridiculous. To top it all off, they act all innocent in all chat and claim that the entire team is being toxic and that is why they're acting this way. A majority of the time the enemy team actually buys into their sob story or just thanks them for the free win. This is why I hate this community. It has no sense of moral decency, and everyone seems to be a cutthroat piece of garbage that doesn't care about his/her fellow player. I feel like the tribunal does nothing to people like this simply because Riot is making money off of them. Thank you and goodnight.

Things improve a lot as you climb the ladder, definitely, but toxicity exists in all of SoloQ. It never disappears.

It's human nature. When you're stuck in a team based game for 30-40 minutes, it's easy to feel out of control. People rage and AFK and feed to regain that "sense of control." The same thing happens in Dota, and it even happens in other game genres (try playing ranked CS:GO).

Play Team Ranked and you won't have to deal with random assholes. You'll be able to pick which assholes you play with :3

Totally feel you on this. Played an ARAM yesterday with 3 of my friends and our 5th was a random that did nothing but complain about the fact we were a premade. He was playing Teemo and proceeded to stealth and wait until we were dead and clean up the other team and then tell us we were bad.

I know the feels. I wish there was an option to report the enemy team for supporting the troll because they are encouraging them to keep doing what the troll is doing.

Telling people to climb the ladder isn't a solution to this problem. The majority of people are Silver 1 or lower. If most of the players experience terrible outcomes a lot of the time, then the problem can't be to climb because not everyone can - its literally impossible for everyone to be Gold+ or Plat+

And if it were possible, then that would include the problem players.

Here's a recent end of game chat in one of my games.

I posted about a specific experience and it was deleted by a mod. Let me just say, I've been reporting this stuff for years. This hasn't gotten better. Its epidemic, and its ruining my experience (and I know I'm not alone. it gets posted about regularly.) I'm sure that most of us are "strong" enough to not post about it for a long time - as I have.

I haven't seen anything that proves Riot is taking this seriously - and certainly the most important thing - results - shows it isn't a priority.

This is incredibly frustrating - as all of you know and many of you admit.

Again - Climbing the ladder isn't a solution, even if we assume toxicity decreases as one climbs, climbing must be possible for you. Even if everyone can be a top ACE at this game, there would still be about half the people in Bronze and Silver. In short, its literally an impossible suggestion given as a solution. Sure an individual might be good enough to climb, but everyone can't, by definition.
