I need to further explain how saturated low elo is with trolling and toxicity
Here is my recent thread where I explained how I was chat banned, and I also started detailing in sequential games how game changing trolling/griefing was taking over the gameplay experience. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/MtWnjt3R-im-being-driven-mad-by-the-rampant-trolling-and-have-been-chat-restricted
This last game is really a perfect example of what it is like MORE THAN HALF THE TIME in low elo. https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2848140899/227270231?tab=overview
Darius 0/10/0 is griefing and being abusive to his team. Afk jg camp farms.
Katarina is abusive and tells the team to kill themselves
Kayn becomes demoralized (im guessing) and afk's on fountain halfway through the game.
There is no way to combat this with new-age positivity exercises or keeping that smile on when you play. This is a gutting of the gameplay - AND PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS - it is in more than half of the games at low elo.
Riot the only way to fight this TIDAL WAVE of negativity surrounding your game is to throw man hours at it. It means a shot at your bottom line, but imo your brand has suffered the last 2 seasons and the game now more represents demoralizing endurance than strategic pastime.
