Riot anti-win conspiracy

I hate to be this guy, but I'm curious if anyone else experiences this.

I go on a streak climb my way into the next tier etc., then all of a sudden "bad luck" occurs

By bad luck I mean:

  1. Getting people who are intentionally feeding or lack comprehension of the game (seriously I think they are bot programs half the time, because the don't respond to suggested playstyle changes etc. ).
  2. The mysterious 1000ms ping... Now I know I'm not the only one who has had this happen, and I have literally done everything every forum has suggested to fix this. My ping .. mysteriously, for no reason at all ramps way the hell up. I have great internet, no really .. I have freaking great internet. I've been gaming for over 12 years and never have I experienced lag spikes like I have with this game. It's completely possible that I am playing better because of not having lag, and only start playing bad once I have it, but I'm noticing a nonstop trend of me only lagging when I had previously been playing well.

I feel like I'm being set up to fail in every aspect of this game, and I'm getting pretty close to leaving because I'm having my time wasted by trolls and bad connectivity more than enjoying my time playing the game.

I don't have my PHD in Behavioral Psychology, but this community isn't in a constant state of aggravation because of some kids verbalizing their frustration over issues. People are bitter and hostile, because the ratio of time having fun to time being wasted by bullcrap is tipped way in the wasted time side of the spectrum. The majority of players with good intentions are Constantly being forced to deal with unfavorable situations, and Riot as far as I can tell has no intention of fixing this issue.

Your tip that says "X% of games are lost do to negativity" That's false : 100% of negativity comes from some pre-existing unfavorable situation. As in, you we're already losing before the negativity occurred. I don't see anyone flaming while they are winning, and if they do have a slight outburst it generally dissipates immediately. You don't need a PHD to understand this, it's common sense.

If you want the community to be less "Toxic", do more to make the game enjoyable, even when it's unwinnable.

I literally feel like I'm being punished, even when I'm trying to be a respectful honest player, and that aint cool.

Went off on a tangent sorry.

I agree with your first point. If you go on a winning streak then come back the next day. The games become seriously harder, all within the same elo. People who perform poorly or intentionally feed. Disconnects on your team seem to become more frequent. I wouldn't put it past Riot if they did this just to fill their queues more... even if it does increase the overall toxicity.

The other reason why this game is toxic is because the fanboys downvote everything even though they know everything I've said happens to me happens to them/. At least riot is finally FINALLLY looking into the random lag spike issue for the first time I've seen since playing this game. [slayer-jinx-catface]
