I may be just a low level but It is kind of obnoxious when I get people that just start calling me name after name because i supposedly "Suck at League of Legends" and I wanna try to stop it but I highly doubt it would even work. My thoughts on this are really simple because I just cannot stand to play this game that much when people are toxic. It is making me start to dislike this game which I d not want to happen it is fun for me.
there is a setting you can use on the client to turn off the toxicity
The people saying you suck ... suck way more.
You'll notice the most vocal people are often the poorest performers. It's funny but frustrating yes.
Look newb, here's the scoop:
there's smurfs with bad expectations and people releveling because their account got banned. these people are probably just as unskilled in the head as new players except they read inaccurate outdated guides or use old metas that don't exist anymore in s6.
Save your reports. Don't rage report for someone feeding. Don't report unless you see super duper racism. That way your report weight will be good so you can help ban the shit out of the legit toxic people when you figure the difference between a salty arse and a toxic.
The reason for the 'Toxic community' is due to the feeling of helplessness or expectations that are just not there. people will feed. people will say some stupid things.
I mute people. i tell people i am muting them because i want them to know that i muted them. if they know i muted them they normally stop complaining and actually play the game verses complain all game.
the psychology is it is a stressful environment and people just havent learned how to put an outlet to it. so you get this perception of 'toxic'. i would say there is a good number of toxic .. persay attitudes in any game that creates that kinda stress. just mute them man. i only report when people AFK or are really a true pain. most of this little stuff is just that. people venting with no outlet.
I give advice that people seem to really despise, and that is play with people you like to play with (because apparently saying playing with friends have people up at arms). Yes, the community is toxic, it's honestly to be expected, league, like a lot of mobas, is a competitive game that pits people against people. Naturally someone will get upset at one point or another, and humans don't exactly have the best control over their emotions, sad but true.
However, you WILL meet some people that are cool about stuff and are nice to you. If you find someone you think would enjoy playing with, just add them. A lot of people who gripe about "no one being nice" or "everyone is toxic" makes me think that they are actually the toxic ones that makes everyone else react to them. Smile, have some fun, and if you find like minded people, join them. Those are ways you can enjoy the game, so cheers, hope you get to enjoy this game.
