Riot, Summoners, we need to talk.

I really feel like the league community needs to have a discussion and that riot needs to be a hell of a lot more punishing on toxic players (or turn the tribunal back on) because right now I come out of about 90% of games wanting to quit entirely despite whether or not I won or lost. And the shitty part to is that most of the time the reason I feel shitty is from my own team mates. It’s legitimately horrifying how much toxicity and hate comes from the league community, and it is by far the worst gaming community that I have ever been a part of. Hell, it’s the worst community I've ever even heard of. But I love the game, and I love learning new champs, and learning new strategies, and playing with friends, and kicking ass together, and general shenanigans that come along with playing any online game(Dancing at your enemies, taunting them instead of going for the kill, laughing at each other for the entirety of the laning phase). And I really don’t want to have to quit a game that I love, just because of a toxic community that makes playing it unenjoyable and stressing, the exact opposite of what a game should be. And I know some people don’t think of it as a game and instead think of it as a sport, which is a valid thought, but when was the last time you played a sport where instead of the opposing team trash talking you, it’s your own team mates? Seriously the league community needs to improve because right now it’s ruining the entire game.

The fact that this is a legitimate post kind of describes how terrible the community has become and that we NEED to do something about it because right now:

 1. Reporting seems ineffective
 2. I can see people being toxic in the champion select but I'm forced to play with them because right now I feel more punished for queue dodging than I do for having to leave a game
 3. I'm forced to either mute someone in game and cut off all communication, or have to deal with them. And I don't want to have to do either of these.
