After nearly 6 years of League, I think it is time to call it quits.

After probably around 6000-7000 games played, I don't think I can deal with one more toxic player in this game. That guy who will just ruin your entire experience because he externalizes his own stress in the real world and projects it onto you. That guy that will feed the enemy team just to spite one person on the team, leaving the three people who did nothing to suffer the consequences. That guy who will go AFK after one bad play. That guy who from the beginning of champ selection you know deep down is just going to be an insufferable prick. I can list several more examples, you all know the same pain. Except now a days, it is literally every other game. Even normals or ARAM.

This community use to be super special. When it was a small group of a couple hundred thousand players, it felt like a gigantic family. Sure there was a bit of shit talk here and there, but that is what a competitive game is. No one really acted like this. every other game is so god damn toxic now that I either have to 1). Mute everyone or 2). Attempt to calm someone down so they don't throw the game, even if they are total dicks.

It's been real guys. 6 years of fun. But I can't take it anymore. This problem isn't going to go away, and eventually it will be the reason why more and more people quit.

My tip, don't play ranked. In normals, the toxicity is SO much lower. People flame in Ranked, in normals, they generally accept it.

I agree with most of what he said. I started playing this game because it was a way to keep in touch with my children after they grew up and moved out. We could all get together and play. I practiced quite a bit to be able to play with them and not be HORRIBLE. I finally tried ranked and was put into Silver....EVERY game queue is bad now. You try to be honest with someone you get flamed on or reported. Ranked solo people people complain about thier lane selection EVEN THOUGH they have two choices now and make troll picks. So you lose your LP and continue to slide further and further down....not because you did bad but because THEY did bad and you couldn't carry. I wont deny that I have been one to get a little heated...but you can only take so much of the other people flaming and blaming you for everything wrong with their game. Or when you are 0/1/0 and you just get pounced on by other lanes that have been fed and suddenly you are 1/8/2 and suddenly its your fault "says the mid laner that went 0/5/0 and let him roam so that he can nuke you in 2 hits". Riot's answer has been to basically do nothing. What happened to the tribunal? Two people afk in a game and I am FORCED to drag out the game because my team wont surrender....hmmm why not give me the OPTION to leave the game is there is an AFK? leverbuster system...that's a joke right? They sit five minutes and get to go be a hateful flaming troll and go afk again.

So sick of all those old players saying they quit just because of cancer.
