What happend to the Community?

First off, yes i am bad in english and im very sorry for that, but i will try my best to explain why i ask this question, and yes, pls take this question serious.

So my question in general is what happend to the community mentality wise.

I rarely paly league those days but whenever i do i see the change becomming bigger every month. People start to "degenerate", sry if i offend a few people by using this word, but it seems like they start knowing anything else then "i have to win" and "[enter any insult you know in here]".

I see more and more people acting like they dont even know what to do anymore. I try to smalltalk with a lot of players in normal games, and a few years ago it was realy fun to do, and i even "role played" a bit with my enemys and they took it with humor and played along, or told me their sight of my strange behaivoir and told them "i do that sometimes, cuase its fun". They didnt got that distracted but went on a pretty peacefull game, no brutal 5vs1 ganks, no flaming or spamming, no they even just let me farm like i wanted, i didnt even attacked them or tryed to do so. But lately, like the last 2 years, i get flamed for doing it by team and enemys. if i do something like that they come up with "ohh i see you want to get ganked" and when i die they just say "heh, i hope your Rp now that your crying". Its a bit tasteless for me to do something in a game where you dont even win something in the end. I would understand it if they start to gank me 2vs1 when im overextending like hell, but no, i freeze lane and then suddenly just 5 enemys appear and i cant do anything. i try mostly to get out alive somehow, (works most of the time) but what does that give them?

Why i ask this question is cause i feel sad for those people, forgetting about fun, and smalltalk, and that it is just a game. But just on how they act, it feels like the slowly forgetting aout anything besides this game. Talking less, going faster for kills, try to not only win but showing the enemys how easy they can destroy them.

It would be nice if some people explain i to me, cause this ruins the game pretty much for me, a player who just plays normals and trys to have some fun by talking, or just train CSing even more, or just doing stupid things. [slayer-jinx-catface] Thanks for any anwers, and i hopefully can meet some players who can use their brain more for just this game <.<

in my opinion you're not centering the real point here, what you described is simply players that play the game to win..

1vs5 ganks? totally acceptable ppl not talking just going for fast kills? well, what's wrong with that?

the real problem here is toxicity, player that start shittalk out of the blue, saying you're trash, you're noob, uninstall the game, kys, etc etc or ppl that gives up after dying twice and go afk

Those are the things that make you think about how shitty the community is

in my last match yesterday i had to report 3 players, and 2 of them were on my team

about those, i dont wanna talk about those toxic player, it gets depressing u.u

I know going for the fast kill is acceptable, but doing so just to tilt a player? doing it like 15 times even if im already 0/5/0? I mean, if i am a 0/5/0 KDA player, and they still bring in the full group, im not sure if i should feel honord for still thinking im such a big thread, or find it sad that they have to struggle that hard to take so many players to kill me <.<

I read through your post and your entire complaint is that you want league to be a chat room where everyone gets along and treats normals like some kind of friendly practice tool.

This isn't the game for you.

League is about capitalizing on enemy mistakes and pressing whatever advantage you have in order to achieve victory. This has been the case throughout its entire existence.

If that isn't to your liking then there are other games out there that might cater to your tastes. But if you continue playing this game the way you've described then you will likely end up reported for multiple instances of trolling your own allies.

The behavior you've described in your post is best suited for a pre-made of you and 4 other players who've all agreed beforehand that how you play is fine. Because then you won't risk ruining the experience for your teammates since you will all be on the same page.

so im not allowed to have that kinda "fun". So this game has "standarts" considerd as fun to be accepted. And if i do not follow those standarts i should just leave? No matter how much i like the character and the ideas they do? Sounds kinda yeah, not that friendly.

I mean, like i said i find it okay if those peopel do theyr "exploiting enemys failurs" in ranked. but i mean what does them give if they play serious against someone who isnt serious to begin with? If they cant see the difference, they may have a serious problem. And no, this game wasnt like that like 3 years ago. 3 Years ago like 60% of games i played at least 2 hopped on the fun train and had some smalltalk without giving up on the game, but they also didnt gave their 100% performance.

And i dont want it to become only a praticte tool, but if you say so, then yes normal is kinda a pratice mode. A Practice mode against real human players. And no im not gonna exploid enemys failures against them. I win without exploiting them (even if this makes the game harder for me) But this still is a game and i have some respect. Wich means i wont look down on an opponent, but also wont just beat a dead horse with an super sharp sword.

If this game has become a game that isnt for me anymore, than its truely sad. And if all those "mobas" are like you described then they all are nothing for me and any game that contains "PvP" isnt a game for me, but that are probably just some "smaller problrems" ;)

If my behaviour counts as trolling, then its also a bit sad, cause i didnt try to harm anyone, i just enjoy a chill round of lol without forcing myself to overcome limits. (i mean i could just go ranked and tryhard, but i dont wanna)

But yeah, in the end you may be right. I just should quit this game, the rising tide of toxicity is pretty ... yeah, i cant realy describe it <.<

Have fun then.. or something like that i guess.... [zombie-brand-mindblown]
