This community makes me physically ill.

The level of narcissism and entitlement, the sheer fog of smugness and arrogance is sickening

People dont want to work on a team game, they play this game so they have 4 "Witnesses" to "how great AM I" so the spend the entire game calling everyone else a feeding noob, call them trash, call them garbage. Tell them how completely fking pathetic they are. But if they get a kill or two, they get a free pass. Players are so wrapped up in themselves, they see themselves as that good, they dont give even a second thought to thier team. Its all about THEM. They steal a kill from someone else? "get gud scrub, u sukk" Someone steals a kill from them "OMFG report X for KSing me, gg Im done, I'm afk"

They kill someone else "Hahah I am too good. god u sukk so bad" Someone kills them "Wow you didnt kill me, it was lag"

If a teammate gets bogged down in CC, they dont say "Sucks man, CC4dayz" they go into all chat with "Report X, for inting" The whole team can ping baron, needing it to win. And arrogant players who ignore the team as they run top to farm the 3 minions threatening to bring down a FULL HEALTH tower, leaving the rest of the team to get ambushed in mid. And when asked why they didnt help, the response is "I might have died with you" As a support I can get my adc a triple, keep them alive and pull them out in one piece. Then be told how "Nah my support didnt do anything, That triple was all me"

This game has the absolute Worst community, and people are happy to give it a pass. And Dont put icing on a shit cake by telling me "well we have the report system" Yeah the report system might not have to work as hard if people were actually willing to call these people out. But instead the attitude is "Well he got more kills on your team so its ok that he treats the rest of his/her team like shit. Its ok if he degrades and tilts his own teammates by telling them "stfu u got no kills, ur garbage" Its ok because he got a penta.

Nah you people time and time again repeatedly defend these children who are happy to tilt thier team so they can feel special. This community really is worse than the garbage they seem to give a pass.

Its ok if your team treats players like shit and reminds the rest of thier team just how worthless garbage they are, how they deserve to have thier throat slit. Its ok for teammates to wait for teammates to stand in one spot for longer than 10 seconds before railing in /all chat about how "X player is Afking, report them.....its ok, as long as they carry you.

Time and time again this community as a whole seems to have no problem with players treating thier team like shit, you are happy to give them free passes. And you wonder why this community is getting progressively worse and worse. Players calling for thier "Trash teammates" to be violated, killed, etc (I had someone tell me "you deserve to be raped infront of your family" and told to "go slit ur throat"

But its ok, if they can get a triple, they deserve a free pass. Right? Enjoy your disease community, keep defending that title for "#1 most toxic community" You earn it well.

Now just waiting for people to ignore the thread about the TOXIC COMMUNITY and twist it into "ur mad cuz bad" (yeah I know I suck. Again, doesnt give a free pass to the skilled players telling me I deserve to be raped infront of my family because I didnt play to their expectations. They expect challenger play, I played at Bronze/silver)

Absolutely agree. Sometimes I feel like the majority of my teams are children trying to prove more to their teammates that their better than them. I just don't understand how players trash talk their own team like its nothing. It's sick how bronze, and silver players trash talk other bronze, and silver players. Makes no sense. I don't care for it, never have.

The fact that you get this worked up over people typing words to you in a game says a lot about you. You actually need help, you have a mental illness. No mentally stable adult would ever become "physically sick" about somebody typing words to them online. Seriously bro, get help. It's not normal to go through life getting upset and words like this.

So do you make yourself physically ill as part of this community? Yes there are people like that but I find it far from reaching even perceptive majority. Then account for how many players play this game and you have just bad generalization that tried to shift some pointless "point".

well every single pvp game has a ridiculously toxic community , but when its the most played game in the world AND it is competitive pvp , it obviously has the most toxic community

Now , what you said in your post is actually true , but I myself don't act like that , well i got a better attitude and it helped me , instead of thinking im so good but mates hold me back i currently rather focus on myself to try to play as good as I can , and if other lanes feed i dont care i play my game and try to win , if i feed i mute the flamers and try playing safer , tbh that really helped me im not high elo , but i made it to gold in like 2 weeks or so when i was stuck silver for almost a whole year , just watch your replays focus on yourself AND DONT FUKIN FLAME you can make plat easily even if you're not good imo ( well it seems so , maybe ill be stuck gold now ) , I mean sometimes I tilt , but its not due to my teammates feeding but rather when for exemple they take my jungle camps without asking ( i isually say yes when ppl ask ) , flash to steal things .... well THAT actually is still ok for me , but when they taunt you right after i just tell them to stfu , mute them and report them , kinda helps to calm down tho . When you're tilted try doing what faker does :p that is move your shoulders and crack em , it sends a small liquid in your neck that helps you staying chill , when you jsut lost a game in a "tilting " fashion then take a break for like 15 min , if you want to keep tryharding right after , eat something and if you can go out for a while , if you keep a positive mentality and watch map a bit , you should climb easily .

I mean I've had some pretty great games as of late, sorry to hear you haven't been half as lucky. Every competitive gaming community has an element of toxicity to it, from fighting game players raging over spam to every FPS player that calls someone an aimbotter, it's all pretty shit. You gotta sift through it, but you don't have to do it alone because there ARE plenty of good community members who are willing to be patient when you screw up royally, help you when you need it, sometimes even stick up for you against the flame.

If you really need to, play with everyone's chat muted because unless it's ranked you never need to be in the chat, just need pings.

I agree. Just had a tryndamere 2 games ago that was calling me a 'fk noob' because I was 0/2 in a hard matchup and started verbal abusing my team every time they made a mistake and it was level 20 normals...

Its ok if he degrades and tilts his own teammates by telling them "stfu u got no kills, ur garbage" Its ok because he got a penta.

No, this is not ok, this can and will get someone summoner 11 ed.

Again, doesnt give a free pass to the skilled players telling me I deserve to be raped infront of my family because I didnt play to their expectations.

And this will get someone banned the first time it happens.

That said, I see where you're coming from. Seems like the only way to ensure you don't get torn apart in chat is to make it a policy to /mute all every game, which is a form of handicapping yourself.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Riot isn't serious about player behavior. We've been in this awful situation for years now and very little is being done except for bandaids.

The examples in OP seems like child's play to me, considering I had to have a chat with a player just yesterday about how being negatively biased and judgemental to a certain nationality of people for no reason in-game is not only a bad display of manners it's also irrational. We never agreed with each other in the end, as they still believed that holding their view (which as I'd pointed out to them, is ultimately very small and skewed scoped) is just being truthful and "real" like some The Red Pill or Politically Incorrect subreddit stuff where most of them seem to be ruled by their confirmation bias driven outlook rather than the legitimate researches they'd claimed to have done.

Speaking of TRP and PI subreddit... oh boy, now THAT is something that would actually make you physically ill, along with other even more questionable subreddits.

I say, overall, League community like the gameplay trolls we so often run into, isn't so bad after all. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, though.
