I've officially had it with the toxicity of this game. People leave games, afk, talk crap, intentionally feed, use racial slurs, make fun of mentally handicapped in 100% of games I've played over the past month or so in ranked. I literally cannot stand to exist in this community a second longer. Riot literally does nothing to address the toxicity it's been ongoing for years and it's still happening in 100% of my games. I'm out. Bye <3

That's just you not understanding how the system works.

Willing to explain it if you are willing to listen.

There is a thing called the mute button.

Well done. Now, stick to it.

I mean it. While there's no such thing as "voting with your wallet" (no matter where and when you live--even if your local economics revolve around capital and even if your local governments are democratic), there is no denying that LoL is as good (or terrible) as it is because people keep giving Riot/TenCent money. (I've seen limited evidence that their big decisions are informed by something beyond their bottom line. Still, I'm not holding my breath for anything more.)

Addendum: Nevermind that Riot is dependent on revenues from e-sports, the corresponding risk for which is mostly borne by the players themselves (Riot itself bears practically zero). This would be the case irrespective of what individual players decided to do.

That doesn't mean that you shouldn't quit League of Legends. It just means that the effect of your quitting will only contribute to the improvement of League as part of a larger trend [of people quitting League].

(OTOH, I've read Rioters making the case that "this is the lifecycle of a massively multiplayer game." In other words, "as it gets older, it starts to suck, and people stop wanting to play it, and it eventually dies out gracefully [according to whatever progression earns TenCent at least as much as TenCent ever expected, if everything works as TenCent expects it to work].)

i'm not taking sides here, other than to say if you're not enjoying a game, there's nothing wrong with playing another game you enjoy more.

Reasons why don't really matter.

So good on ya, hope you find something else you enjoy as much as you enjoyed league.

Go try HoTS, i found it a more chilly game than LoL with less toxicity. Or try Dota2 if you want to learn russian sweating :D

To be honest a lot of that is just playing ranked in preseason. Nobody cares about their rank right now.

If I were you i'd take a break and come back after preseason is over, or just play normals/aram/nexus blitz.
