League should do something about toxic teens

DN13··2 votes·580 views

Ok so recently over the holidays i have noticed as the younger population of league players do not have school ( I'm a working professional myself) the rate of toxicity in all my games has risen by about 1000%. Literally yesterday I was in a game which game me ptsd of secondary school with the type of behavior displayed the individuals. Should Riot impose an age limit on there game? and for younger children who play league should there parents be informed of the kind of shit they say so off the cuff to a stranger online. I honestly don't think I'm gonna play much league over the holidays because its not a fun experience with the poor moral standard that people are showing. I understand that i don't know the ages of the people in my games before someone says it but I have noticed a correlation between school holiday season and toxicity levels rising in the game.

But of course Riot will bring out a new line of skins and try gloss over there communities behavior Yasuo

Happy holidays everyone Shaco

Even if Riot imposed an age limit on the game (aside from the T rating given by the ESRB rating system for the games content) it wouldn't matter much as people can just as easily lie about their age to get into the game.

Well I primarily play co-op vs. ai and thus rarely encounter toxicity (Dominion/Twisted Treeline player here). Heck, even when I do play the other modes (usually the RGMs) I still rarely encounter toxicity. In fact I believe a couple of years ago during a filmed conference of some kind (it was when Lyte still worked at the company) Riot stated that the Co-op vs. AI was the least toxic community in the game.

I know that vs. bots isn't for everyone but I still have fun with it, and the players there are usually pretty friendly and talkative. If Normal and Ranked are too toxic then you could always switch to vs. ai.

My birthday is always 01/01/1980, regardless whether that is my true birthday is entirely a different matter

How could you possibly know the age of the people you are playimg with/against?? I have seen people of all ages act toxic. J

You would probably be surprised about the age of other players. I doubt that the toxicity level of younger players is that much higher. Also how would you contact their parents? Thats imo a pretty damn stupid idea.

link there account to a parents email maybe I dunno I just would prefer if people were less toxic is all

Your attitude is ridiculous omg XD If everyone thought like you then children would have access to whatever they want just because its hard to regulate and control. That's nonsensical thinking. As well as that its disappointing that you would tease someone for trying to make suggestions on how to improve everyone's gaming experience. I'm a college student, and its almost a meme in my league friend network that playing during school holidays is hell. Maybe its not the kids, but something changes once school is off... and that's saying a lot because EWU is a shitfest of toxicity anyway, but it gets worse
