Whine Post
This shit has me in tears. The community here is so ungodly toxic and hateful and it hurts. Today I have been struggling to get out of bronze elo as usual, and had some great games, followed by a series of horrid ones. Purposeful feeders, trolls, 2 afks, and it's getting worse by the game.
My last game I got stuck jungle because last pick "omg don't make me jungle it's my worst lane ever", so I picked a fairly decent jungle for me, Pantheon. The opposing team had a Shaco jungler that outplayed everyone at every turn, and by my level 5, he was already level 8. I couldn't catch up to him in farm, I had nowhere near the mobility he had, and soon he was just camping my jungle. There was literally nothing I could do, and no communication from the lanes when there was an MIA, and the "omg don't make me jungle" kid was being raped by Heimerdinger.
Do I get any support? Do I get any positive communication? Absolutely not. Apparently to these people, being toxic is the way to win games, so not only did my mid continually try to steal my buffs with the "don't worry I'll carry" excuse, but my bot lane kept pointing out how Shaco was good and I was horrible, and mixing "ugh" and "you're so bad" in amongst the normal toxic bull.
Everyone says "Mute them, it makes it easier". No, it doesn't. Then you go from a scrap of communication here and there to dead silence. You go from having a team to being alone. The mute button should never be the solution. But after today's smorgasbord of horrid games, I broke down in tears, cussed them out, and left. There was nothing I could do without a team to do it with, and this team didn't give 2 shits about winning as much as they cared about making sure I knew I was inept and inadequate and nothing was even remotely their fault about the game.
My mutes probably reach in the thousands, and my ignore list has at least 150 people on it from last season alone. This community is the worst out of all the communities I've ever been a part of, and I've been gaming for over 20 years. This "nice player" initiative only partially works. But most people don't give a crap about a free skin or anything like that. They care more about acting like a bunch of rage-fueled kindergartners than they do about winning or developing a good team.
My goal this season was Gold 5 in solo queue, because given my ranked play with certain champs and roles, I was doing very well, and could hold my own against golds on a regular basis in premades. But so far, I'm stuck at just below 50% win rate and holding, because of people like I had last game.
