Why So Quiet?

So Here i am, just playing ARAMS so i can have quick fun matches while i cook dinner, and i realized....even in ARAM people are boring and angry...Like, idk if this makes me toxic, but whenever i play arams, even normals i kinda of just try to be friendly and joke around over all chat. When i die ill say something like "Cmon man, all i wanted to do was drink beer and eat some dinner with you, why you kill me so hard" . and they will just not comment, throughout the game, im just being friendly trying to talk to people and its pure silence, then at the very end they will say something like "Wow you're so annoying" "Shut the heck up" "Scrub so bad" like as the game ends and in the after game chat.

So my question is....Why are people so quiet or against talking in league? Is it just because of the over all toxicity of the game? or are we dealing with anti-social internet kids or weeabos or something?

Personally I don'chat more on games as normally is a tough crowd. But from time to time I find a drunk crowd (Just like me) and we start joking and to some extent throwing the game because we are more focused on making jokes that actually finishing the game.

It depends a lot on what time of the day you are playing. I have found that during the late night people are a bit more chilled while during the morning people is more quiet. Probably during dinner time the game is full of kids out of school. I don't want to sound racist or prejudice or anything but players below 19 years old or so tends to be rather rude on general.

I find that the only time I can talk is right after I died, as I can't work on typing while also moving/fighting. I don't mind conversation though and do try to reply when I can.

As for the rest, YES. The vast majority of people playing LoL are anti-social to some degree. In my experience most players of online games also are not exactly athletic and looked up to at school so there often are huge wellsprings of repressed anger that comes out in the games.
