Players harassing new/unskilled players

Ke Lani··1 votes·258 views

I am a relatively new League player, as I started playing this summer and have been playing for only a few months now. Since I have only been playing a short time, I am not too good at the game yet, but I am most certainly improving. Unfortunately, I often get put in games with people that have much higher skill and experience levels than me, causing me to perform poorly in many games. My teammates often harass me and tell me to "go uninstall the game" due to my poor performance that is caused by an unfair match-up. Why are many players very rude and harass new players? I have observed them harassing other new players and telling them to quit because they suck. I need to play to get better, but so many people are so mean. Why are so many people rude and mean to new and unskilled players? and why do I often get put in games with players much better than me?

You shouldn't care what other players say to you. You shouldn't let it affect you, if you get upset over people being "mean", you probably shouldn't play this game at all. As for getting matched with more skilled players, well.. the matchmaking in this game, particularly in unranked games, is garbage. No other way to put it.

I do not get upset that they harass me, I am used to it and I think its dumb to harass people and get upset over a video game. I do enjoy playing it, therefore I will continue to play it. I will only get better and then I won't get harassed as much. I was just taken aback when I noticed so many people being so rude to newer players and was wondering why a lot of players were being that way.

You'll find that in any online team game. League isn't really any different. Anyway if you are trying to get better, do not play ranked. People are much more likely to get upset over you playing poorly than in Normals.

You're going to get harassed if you're new. You're going to get harassed if you're not new but still suck. You're going to get harassed if you don't suck the moment you mess up. You're going to get harassed for things that aren't even under your control.

Bottom line, you're going to get harassed eitherway, anyhow, regardless. Just mute everyone and pretend it's a bot game, it does wonders, trust me.
