So, first off, I'm noticing some low-key rank-shaming in these comments. Let's have everyone cut that out, m'kay? Thanks.


With regards to why toxicity is bad, it's important to first acknowledge that not everyone considers it to be bad, so if you enter the discussion with the idea that it isn't and don't care what others think about it, then you're not going to be able to be convinced. That's fine, but it doesn't mean that the rules will change to adopt your perspective, which is important to keep in mind.

Toxicity does a few problematic things. Again, these are things that most people find true, but not all.

  • It makes many people feel unwelcome.
  • It makes people not comfortable spending time playing League.
  • It gives people bad in-game experiences, and creates negative associations.
  • It tilts people.
  • It makes people stop caring about playing as a team.

All of these things are opposed to what Riot stands for as far as their community goes, and these are all things that the bulk of the community agrees are bad to have in the community.

Negative attitude makes the target play worse, and just adds to the fire

Because, it doesn't contribute to anything, it makes everyone play worse and eliminates the only reason actually play video games "fun"

people can circlejerk about how people are "snowflakes" because they're the one who gets pissy just because someone sucks in some video game, while they the same people will whine about trolls and INT or want to get in a hugbox because they're banned, because they "dindunuffing"

Its a video game. people dont login to get shit on.

Because I shouldn't have to have a yappy dog around while I'm trying to play.
