In the last three days alone I've encountered some of the worst players
I do not care what the statistics say, in the last three days alone I've encountered some of the worst, most toxic, most unbearable players I've had the misfortune of having to be associated with in the time I've played this game.
People talking shit to each other, flaming for the smallest mistakes, banning out someone's pick on purpose, anything else in between you can think of, and worst of all, trolling.
Oh yes, trolling. Ruining a game on purpose. Thank you very much for taking the time out to ruin someone's experience who is TRYING horror of horrors, to actually play the game and win! And I'll tell you what, the troller did it for the most petty of reasons. As we used to say in the Heinz tasting facility, "That's fucking weak sauce" Before trying to pass the blame off in all chat to the rest of the team.
With the amount of times I've had to use the Report button it's just starting to feel hollow and token now. Even going outta my way to submit a freaking Support Ticket to directly ensure these people are looked into (If they are, who knows? Does it help? Same again, probably not) But even if it does or doesn't, what else can one do? Other than sit through a truly miserable experience for 20 agonising minutes before you can even attempt to surrender the game early and move on with your life. Attempt being the key word here.
If League wasn't like a smack addiction I woulda been out the door several months ago. But either I'm masochistic or I actually want to enjoy this game. I'm not sure yet I haven't gone at this conundrum yet with a team of researchers.
