You wanna know why trolls exist?

Because people get fed up. At some point they just stop caring about the game or the teammates. If you subconsciously know your teammates are hostile towards you - even if they seem friendly at first, they're just constantly looking for any excuse to berate you, insult you, make you feel bad - then why would you care about them? Why would you want to help them win? So you just play for yourself. But at some point some people might get the idea that their teammates are their worst enemy. And in many scenarios that's the case. So what they do is attempt to make the "enemy" lose. Have you noticed that it's flamers mostly that complain about trolls in their games? "OMG Rito banned me for using chat, but they never ban trolls that ruin all my games". How many times have we read this? If you encounter trolls in most of your games you should strongly consider that it's you who might be the problem. I'm not saying I condone that, but it is entirely understandable.

A lot of people that said players call trolls are just people having a bad game honestly.

Fun fact , people using the word troll (most of them), don't even know the meaning of it .

Exactly. How many "trolls" i encountered so far? i can't recall, maybe one, or none at all? how many flamers writing toxic stuff in chat? Pfft.

That's just the excuse toxic players like to use and if one starts seriosly trolling.. guess why he does it? yeah, just to piss off the flamers.. shaclone style

so actually trolls exist to counter toxic players

I split them into two camps. The first are the Whiners, which, as you say, are the fed up ones. They're part of the reason I 90% of the time refuse to surrender. Oh, you want to surrender at 15 because your lane lost? Fuck you! I won my lane! I'm having fun! I want to play the goddamn videogame!

The other sort are just malicious sociopaths.

You have no idea how bad the griefing is in low elo. Youll never know, because when people like you go play Bronze/Silver games you outperform everyone and your team is way less likely to feed, flame, or grief like they would in a typical game.

No, its because when you spend so much money, time, and effort on a singular game, and everything doesn't go your way, people are inclined*[zombie-brand-mindblown]* to tilt and troll.
