Something needs to change.

This is my first time contributing to the forum and, speaking generally, I don't normally get on any forums. That being said, this issue is a serious one to me and has been plaguing my experience in League of Legends since my very first days. The issue is that there is an overwhelming amount of toxicity and negativity among the players of League of Legends. I have yet to have a losing game where my teammates do not quickly begin to criticize, demoralize, name-call, rage, and flame. I carefully chose the Summoner name "Gentleman421" to remind myself to abstain from such repulsive behavior and I do my best to respectfully request that the players on my team calm down. This has no effect. None whatsoever despite my greatest efforts. This behavior gets to me. It ruins my experience. I love League of Legends. It is a terrific game and I fully intend to continue to play it for much longer. But I am not exaggerating when I say that this issue is steadily corroding my enthusiasm and willingness to remain a player. Something needs to be done. I don't know what, but something needs to be done. It is ruining League of Legends for me, my friends who play it with me, and I'm certain for many, many others. Please take this request seriously. Thank you.
