So I'm a Bronze 4 player, and I hate to say it, but I play like one. I wanted to take a break from the frustrations of the toxic bunch in the low Elo queue, and decided to make a smurf where I can help newer players. Instead, I find a bunch of other smurfs that insult the new players, most who don't even know what to do. What the actual f*? Why are there so many A-holes in League of Legends? I played Dota 2 and I gotta say, I have never met such a chill community, but in comparison to League Of Legends, LoL is swarming with the most toxic players I have ever seen. Can someone explain to me why Riot hasn't done anything harsher to these toxic people? Its irritating, and its awful to play against and with them. I can mute them, but the words they say just itch at me the entire game. Look at my user name by the way, and show it to a racist, toxic, anti-bronze smurf.

Funny thing about the game too, is that I had a Gold Smurf in a ranked game who insulted us throughout the entire game, then proceeded to shame us for being in Bronze, despite the fact people like him are some of the reasons we're stuck here. I won't mention Elo Hell in this because most strong players will flame me for that. (Toxic community example right there)

I'll try to update this with posts of examples of crappy sportsmanship.

I'm pretty damn salty at the moment, so sorry in advance.

I might've upvoted my own post, so sorry about that.

I believe Riot wants to find a way to alleviate the toxicity, not just smack it until it changes somehow. Don't get me wrong, I see it too, and sometimes I wonder why these people aren't outright banned on the spot, but I think Riot is smart in not going to harsher and harsher punishments to fight a more and more aggressive toxicity epidemic. Anger begets anger, violence begets violence, you know?

I won't pretend to have a great answer for the toxicity, but I think it'll be a peaceful change of making the game better, more than a reprising one of forcibly removing negative elements.

I got threatened by someone who claimed to be a weed smoker and said he would find me and send his kids after me

I'm sorry I don't care whether or not the person smokes some grass, not my thing but not the worse in the world..

What is wrong a little bit is saying so on the internet...

What is Wrong a Lot is saying that they are going to find you and come after you ! Saying anything about your nationality if that even is your nationality :) No reason to bring that up and to say they will send someone after you I find unacceptable...Should be a punishable offense the 1st time caught and maybe everyone will figure out you can't say crap like this !!

But, It's likely a poor attempt at humor or a worse try at an insult and I wouldn't worry about them finding you .. I'm sure you understand this. I hope your day gets better...:)

Now saying something about nationality, you ask what is wrong with that? I'll just leave that to you because it should be clear that it's offensive when a weed smoker claims your team is trash and thinks that I smoke cancer-inducing cigarettes like every Mexican. I would be angered if anyone even bothered to insult any other nationality, because for one thing, I despise intended offense along with the usage of ethnicity-related stereotypes. In other words, I despise racial intolerance. Of course, some people don't really care if their nationality is insulted, and that's good for them. Honestly, I am probably just going to quit League Of Legends, because I cannot deal with a high number of keyboard warriors on the internet. My username might also be the cause of the high racism rates I've been getting. I literally gave them something to attack me with, using my Summoner Name.__

Hold UP !!!! I didn't say anything about what happened to you being a good thing . It wasn't okay ..NONE of it ..not telling people he is smoking, certainly Not being a bigot, Raciest Jerk ! Certainly NOT what he said about finding you ... Not cool at All Friend... I don't like that type of behavior.

Let me be Clear for you this post....IT Wasn't nice of the person and I said on my other comment that I believe for part of what they said they should be punished for doing it even once !!! Please read what is written before assuming my opinion...

Somehow you took me wrong and I got the lecture you might have wanted to give the person you played against.. But Hey Man so long as you understand I was trying to make you feel a bit better not worse then no worries...Not everyone one in LOL is like that. Just want you to have a good time playing if you can :) And please next time try not to jump to conclusions ...

EDIT: I see where you misunderstood me ;) But believe me I don't condone anything about what you said happened ...It Is Never okay . I'm sorry you had bad experiences and I am sorry you mistook what I meant ...GL
