League of legends and it's community

Cryologist·Oct 23, 2015·2 votes·467 views

This is a rant and if you're very sensitive to criticism, then gtfo.

First off, I just want to say I've been playing moba games for at least 5 years, mostly dota and dota 2. I just recently got back into league of legends because of my friends. But I really have to let someone know, that this community is by far, the most childish, the most immature, and by a huge margin, toxic on all levels. I honestly don't care what you opinions you may have about my opinions on your community, but it's gotten to the point where I have to vent it on the boards.

This community has nothing but selfish, angry and excuse the harsh language, I have a feeling a report is coming, bunch of bitches. Hands down.

Rant over.

There are exceptions, you cant really say the "entire" community is toxic. I don't know what elo you play at, but aside from the fact that every elo is toxic in its own way, I've seen more negative behaviour around bronze and silver rather then the higher gold to low plat leagues. There's many psychological reasons why people rage in league however and you're opinion is way too biased. Also, lets not forget the fact that this is the internet. Many players are blind to see the fact that they are playing with 9 other human beings.

Also, if you're issue is not being able to climb elo, league is a game of 1v9 up until maybe plat. Every game you play, you're against 9 other people. Expect toxicity, expect negative behaviour and expect dumb choices.

Ok, the majority of the community is toxic, other games really can't compare, or I can't really think of a really, really bad community like this one. also "Expect toxicity, expect negative behaviour and expect dumb choices"? Am I suppose to have fun with the game or constantly rage at it. It seems to me that you are actually one of the many problems with this game, we shouldn't ever accept those kind of behavior, it's just unacceptable, over the internet or not. People just don't act like that. Why should I accept the fact that this community has gone to hell and not try and help make it better. If you think my words were too harsh to make things better, then I'll tell you this; Riot has tried many times over and over to clean up the community's act, but only by treating the players with too much care and not enough discipline, discipline meaning players have to be punished heavily for their actions, regardless of what the action is, so they don't prevent it from happening again. But also reward players for promoting good behavior. Just some ideas, maybe they already doing this and there's really no hope for this community.

P.S: this is not directly towards you, except the part of the problem part, you can't just be like "oh the game is toxic, oh well, guess I gotta deal with it"
