Came back from over a year away from playing
I stopped playing the game a while ago b/c of the toxicity in your community. After about a year or so, I tried to play again and experienced nothing but toxicity. What's amazing is that you guys accept this as the status quo. I play quite a few games, and I've yet to experience any community as toxic as league of legends. What's worse is that you are probably stuck in a 20 minute game with these toxic players, and if you want to leave you are punished,. You haven't changed a thing. This is a game and is supposed to be fun. I hadn't been playing for maybe 5 minutes until someone started talking trash "why the censored did you do that? Are you retarded?" You've already taken enough of my money and time it's a shame because the game itself is fun. You're doing nothing to change your community's behavior. And you're ok with it because you guys make money from your LCS franchise. And the players playing this game, who basically say "he must've been bad," that doesn't merit someone being an asshole, or a bunch of people being an ass hole. I have many friends who will not play league, because their introduction to league is from toxic people who just assume everyone should be a pro, and are ok with people being overly ridiculous and saying stupid shit. I think event that most points to this is how people were ok with how some kids were ok with telling people to kill themselves and someone talking about shooting up a school. And then a bunch of streamers supported this kid and said "i say that shit all the time." Adult streamers saying this. It's ridiculous. Just not going to play the game. People responding to this will come down to ignoring what's said, the substance of it, and will just take the easy way out and say "oh he's just complaining." Instead of actually looking at what's being said and taking it into consideration. "Hey, maybe this person is right that it really isn't alright to say this stuffwhen playing a video game. Wouldn't that be something, instead of just saying, "oh everyone does it, so it's ok." It's really not ok to behave like that.
