This Game Is Unplayable
I am tired... so, so tired of playing games with the most toxic people imaginable. If you make one mistake, or are just screwing around (not in ranked, mind you--in the rotating game mode), then you get told you're a.) retarded b.) have Down's Syndrome or c.) deserve to eat a bullet.
And you know, maybe it's because I'm an adult, but you know I just don't really want to listen to this nonsense in a game. I can sort or empathize with that kind of behavior in ranked, because tensions are high, but ARAM, and rotating game modes, are supposed to be relaxed. Fun. I swear this game is so incredibly toxic, the people in it are ridiculous. I cannot imagine telling someone to kill themselves because they performed poorly. I mean, I've been the person sucking, but I've also been the person desperately trying to carry a group of people that refuse to be carried. And I somehow manage to, most of the time, conduct myself like a normal human being.
This is the equivalent of telling the cashier at the grocery store to hang themselves because they broke one of your eggs. It's ridiculous. Reporting these people feels pointless. There are so many games out there where I'm NOT told to kill myself, or accused of being retarded, or told to get cancer. I don't know what needs to be done, but right now, it feels like people have free reign to say whatever reprehensible thought comes to their 12 year old mind and spew it mindlessly without repercussion. And you know what?
That feeling sucks. I KNOW this company is run by adults, adults who, I can only assume, don't like being given death threats by people who can still order a Rooty Tooty Jr. at IHOP. PLEASE do something about this stuff. It makes your game UNPLAYABLE. It frightens off an enormous potential player base. If you don't address this problem, you will quickly find your game devoid of players.
Especially devoid of players, like me, who have jobs and lives and actually can drop $20 on your fancy ultimate skins, or a hoodie, or whatever, because I, as, you know, an adult, have disposable income.
Disposable income that currently feels a lot better going toward games where I'm not verbally berated for misclicking.
