Why this game has to be uninstalled because of the toxic, childish community

I played lol for quite some time. I have been installing it and uninstalling for few times, simply because I was - and still am - tired of community here. What pains me the most is that RIOT doesn't do anything about it. Your messages in the loading screen, messages like "Teams in which players tends to blame others are more likely to lose by xx%" are as effective as treating cancer with a bottle of penicillin.

People here are mostly children and judging from what I saw during many, many matches, they are not very bright ones, so I'll write my words in a form of a list.

  • polish people. I am from Poland and it constantly pains me when I see polish people talking in polish language. Both teams talk in english, but of course two or three children have to use polish. It's like going to the party with your friend-foreigner and talking with everybody in your native language. Doesn't it qualify as report for bad communication with team? But does such report even exist? Is it even used? Cause somehow I have stumbled on such people pretty often

  • childish behaviour. I am not talking about all those 'you %%%%%%, you cancer, you noob' etc. cause it's obvious. I am talking about this goddamn annoying attitude that simply because someone is in gold or diamong or whatever ranked games, he suddenly feels superior to others. What I want to say is 'hey snowflake, you are not special, you are just another r%%%%% who wins at games, and who thinks that his win score is an extension of his dick's length'

  • game mode - rift, blind choosing. Why the hell it even exists? Team creator is an amazing option, it works swell and nicely. When you announced it and I saw it working really well, I was amazed. But blind choose? Why would anyone want to be in a waiting room, where bunch of people fight about who was the first one to say 'midmidmidmidmidmidmid' ? If you want blind choosing, just take aram. Or mix aram with rift - normal summoner's rift, but with random champions that are already chosen and people can't change them. Then it has sense. Now it's just like playing football with four other people in the team, and every each one of them wants to be cristiano ronaldo. No gk, no defense, no mid. Everybody goes to same position and in result ruin the game for everybody

  • smurf accounts. This is absolutely the worst. In every game there is some kiddo, who feels superior cause "on my normal account I'm lvl 30, diamond league". Whatever mistake he makes, he has this one explanation. They are the most rude people, most childish, most annoying, simply because they know there is no punishment for them. "What, RIOT bans my account? I have two others". I understand that it would be difficult to make one person register only one account. And I understand that you don't even care and you don't see the problem in it. Also I understand that you are focused on high-level games, on events, on games between best teams. But for once, just go and try playing at normal, non-ranked (though probably ranked as well) game. Just try once to go through such shitstorm of pathetic - I use this word because a person, who feels superior to someone because of some silly reason, is in fact pathetic - people. I hope you will enjoy your game.

I have this fantasy that this thread I am creating will get at least one reply. I don't even dream about riot reading this, and I don't even imagine that if they did, they would take my suggestions seriously. I don't have such fantasies simply because they are as real and possible to happen as my other fantasies, in which I am accompanied by Christy Mack and Scarlett Johansson, and they are both naked.

I will reply! If you think being trolls on the internet is limited to League of Legends you are optimistic at best delusional at worst.

Play any online shooter- you'll have kids calling you a retard because they charged in and were a meat shield while you were peakin a corner... Play any sports game online - very consistent "Tbag jokes..." apparently jock gamers like Tbag jokes a lot... Play an MMORPG - Opposing players can't harass you in game, so they just sit on your face instead... then your team will rage in /yell about how stupid their race / faction is in the game and how we should all kill ourselves...

Welcome to the internet.

Hi Remy :) , I read what you wrote and I cannot agree more. Unfortunately the toxic side of the community can be quite difficult to manage, considering that riot simply doesn't care as they are most likely paying customers of the franchise. We are all the same in their eyes. To make a change, riot has to change the punishment system. The tribunal is automated now so sanctions given to players may be improper justice since a premade 5 can simply report one person for the same reason just because they didn't like him for picking a lowskill champion with high carry potential, that person will get a chat ban per-say, for no reason.

Another example is how new comers that just started playing league of legends usually being introduced to this game. Imagine them being welcomed with harsh flaming because they cant play well against potential smurfs. You'd think they stick around to enjoy the 'thriving community'? the "fastest growing e-sports in the world? Yet Riot still can't, or won't fix the growing epidemic of toxicity in league of legends.

I want to see the good part of the community just as much as you would. To reach that dream we all have to take part and control our temper online, we should not be keyboard warriors. Being toxic is like a disease if it's not treated appropriately it's going to spread because other players experiencing toxic behavior will end up adopting the attitude of the negative players. Right now Riot ain't got a good solution for this problem, they keep us busy with new champs and new chrome packs. They need to advance their ban system to crack down on to the pricks.

Anyways this is just my opinion and i hope that this problem becomes solved soon. HAVE A GREAT EVENING AND STAY POSITIVE! :D
