Experience of a new player

Okey, so I made a new account for League of Legends, and I played like if I was a new player in this video game. I have made Coop vs IA until I get into level 6. So I've made my very first game in PvP and seriously, the first thing I've seen is, harassment attitude, negative attitude, high verbal abuse and one afk after raging a bit. So if I was a real new player, I wouldn't play this game after seeing this. I've even been told to go kill yourself you and my mom and I'm not kidding. I reported the player who had the largest negative attitude and I wrote this, This player is highly negative and his summoner's name to. This is my first game in League of Legends in PvP and I am very disappointed. Riot, you have a horrible community.

Because you were put against other smurfs or recently banned players climbing again.

Of all the things Riot does one of the things they are actually good at is determining whether someone is new to the game or not. Making another account and pretending to be new just doesn't cut it, you have to put an actually new player in and see how their games go.

People have actually done this, and it sure seems like brand new players don't have these issues until they get closer to level 30.

I've heard, but cannot confirm, that Riot's MMR calculations at least attempt to differentiate between real new players and smurfs. Ideally, what you're describing is not actually the new player experience, but rather the smurf experience.

Still, though, I sympathize that it's a tough game to get into.

One PvP game? No controls, "played like if I was a new player" which could mean anything including behavior that could bias the results, and a sample size of a single PvP game? Need to work on the experimental procedure if you want to try to validate a theory.

Some people call this experience, a theory or just pure crap. First thing first, I don't really know the reason why some of you see this as a thoery or crap. I take this more seriously than most of you did regarding your comments. My new account name is Jhin Division

Because I like Jhin and I will buy him soon enough after a few level up. I checked into OP.gg and no MMR information's are set because I haven't played enough PvP games. I don't think that playing against Bot give you a current MMR since recently, in my last Coop games, I've also played with people who didn't know how to use their champion's against Bot and so on. In conclusion, I don't see any placement regarding my BOT games. And if some of you disagree regarding this post, just don't go in Player Behavior section.
