Disclaimer - I am not a racist, I don't hate any nation or religion, I have never met a single Asian person, this post has nothing to do with that sort of thing.

Ok, am I the only one who plays mostly normals and faces dozens of Chinese players every night on EUW. Now I don't know if this happens in ranked as well nor if it happens on NA or EUNE. Back to the point, these players are in 95% of cases, and believe me that is not an exaggeration, toxic, they cant speak English apart from insults and curses, they feed like insane, they usually afk, troll and int on purpose, use 3rd party programs and absolutely ruin almost every single game they are in. I am sick and tired of this. Now this might sound super rude and hateful, but they have their own fucking server so I don't see a point in them coming over here and ruining our game without a single punishment since they don't play more than a couple of games and will never rack up enough reports to get them permabanned. This reminds me very much of the times when me and my friends were kids playing CS 1.6 and we used to go to another random server from like France of whatever and go around with aim-bots. I feel this is the same kind of problem - kids having fun ruining time for other people.

Please RIOT, I can mostly play at night because I usually work all day and this problem that is present in last 6-10 months is really destroying my gameplay experience. And before any of you say that these people are maybe just Chinese from EUW playing, remember that they don't speak English and they play only at night not because they want to, but because of the timezone difference. Please, I hope somebody can help, I can't possibly be the only one having this terrible gameplay experience...

That sounds terrible. I haven't experienced too many foreign languages in this game, apart from a few French-speaking Canadians. My game can't read Chinese or Korean for some reason, so I only see boxes.

Also, where do you live that you have never met a single asian person in your life? There's bound to be an asian classmate, or asian person you've bumped into the street. Asians are all over the place. I should know.

If their in Europe why would they play on Chinese servers? The lag is insane...

I'm an expat in China atm, playing on Chinese servers. There actually calm and quite, nobody really talks or complains. If one person swears or flips out, everybody tells them to stop bitching. Also EU has a shitload of languages, don't be so close minded...

What do you expect from RIOT anyway? Ban all the Chinese players or ban a language? That wouldn't cause a shitstorm at all...

Swap out "Chinese" with "league players" and you get your everyday league matches, including the incompetence in English part.

I can not understand why some people believe it is suddenly unique and worse when it's supposedly about Chinese players or something, when it's the same thing for everyone. I guess the institutional racism towards Asians from the early 20th century and post WW2 period hasn't gone away.

I mean, I see this all too often here in Australia. For a couple examples: In the retail shop I work for, our Chinese manager got a hang of the basics over a wide range of languages thanks to the fact almost every non-English speaking customer who rings in is referred by the colleagues to him ("hey manager, this guy speaks in Chinese"). Or that people get visibly super-annoyed when say a Chinese or other Asian folks who talks loudly on the phone on the bus or whatever, but gives no shit when it's other languages. This is no different.

EDIT: Here in OCE, we also get threads like this somewhat common. When in reality it really isn't anything to get special attention and bracketing, at least when the caliber of destruction is still far greater from the locals (I mean, they worst they really do is spamming. That's it).

It's all about pre-established prejudices and stereotypes and seeing things through that little lens, and a lot of times making a fuss out of something due to your subjective feeling that believes there is a problem when there really might not be one objectively.

...............

And really, Chinese players (or Asian players as a whole) are literally everywhere. Have you counted the ones who speak perfect English/whatever local language of the server and behaving perfectly in matches etc? Or maybe you don't, but you sure as hell pull the tag super quick over the demographic that has billions of people when you're out to condemn someone.

Don't you think that's a bit problematic?

Some of your harsh accusations also have little to no basis, saying that they all troll, feed, int, cheat etc, 95% in your book. That's a VERY bold claim, and it doesn't take a genius to figure that it's obviously falsely and skewly concluded and exaggerated out of proportion to try and strength your case. And that's really not what you want to be doing.

Happens with my buddy and I every time we play at night on the NA server. Rarely during the day. ALWAYS at night. It's frustrating because, like you said, they troll, int, or afk much more than during the day.

Because this is totally different from all the other typically toxic ethnicies in EUW lol
