Am I the only one who doesn't find that many flamers ?

I've been playing this game since season 4, at first few months I didn't find that many flamers, when I got to ranked I found a whole lot more, and it was annoying as hell, but after I reached high gold-plat, finding hardcore flamers is kinda rare,

I mean I don't even get all the "ADC's are flamers" or the "support doesn't get any recognition" stereotype, and I main jungle-support, I get the "jungler gets all the blame" stereotype, but that also stopped happening since last year, and, no the reason isn't because I'm good, because I rarely find other players get flamed too, only like one guy every 2 games, and its so easy to shut them up, muting them is one option.

for real though, flamers are the last of my worries when I start a game.

Yup. Rarely find flamers. The occasional guy whose tilted, but they usually only say one or two things that are off the wall.

I think I find a lot of people looking to shift blame and call someone else trash, but it's rare for it to go beyond that.

you aren't the only one.

Most people posting here or reedit are either exaggerating their experiences, taking it from streamers, or just plainly remember only the bad games and the bad games alone and nothing else but the bad games.

Then again, flamers tend to attract more flamers due to what they say and act.

I'm counting 3 toxics in my past 25 games or so.

Probably because they god chat restricted/14 days ban (platinum5+), just like me, and now they are trying to not flame like animals cause they will get perma ban. :D

Ya it seems to be a rare occurrence to me. Plus people seem to not understand what flaming or trollin is and they use any type of possibility that doesn't go their way as a means of someone trolling or flaming!

I'm assuming its a combination of cognitive bias and toxicity breeding other toxicity.

Also, keep in mind for a lot of the people who cry on this forum, when they say "obvious trolls that are trying to lose" they actually mean "a player did something I didn't like"

It's mostly bronze kids that play off meta to protect their egos that get flamed.

People that suck for years and think it's cool not to get good at anything.

That's why I'm not nice to anyone on here crying. I know they feed it on support graves and are lazy and weak.

I mainly only get flamers when I play with my bronze friends so they attract the salty bronze players desperate to rank up. Of course flaming only hurts their chances of ranking up, but they are bronze after all, they don't know better. I still get flamers from time to time soloing but it's maybe only like 30% of the time.

You're apparently living in the twilight zone.

I wouldn't consider "only half of my games have a flamer in them" to be "not that many flamers", honestly.

The problem is that League always has 10 players in each game, and it only takes one of those being toxic to make the game feel toxic. That means that even if only 10% of players are negative, you still get one in almost every game.

Also, it depends on what you mean by "flamers". The really harsh ones are pretty rare. The ones who flame enough to be annoying are quite common. The lesser stuff, like asking for false reports, minor flaming and constantly blaming others, is in pretty much every game.

Hmm, so you're saying that finding a flamer in 50% of your games is low? That I find funny.

do you only play customs with yourself? I have a hard time finding a game where I don't get at least several insults about my mother or me. "kill steals", cs steal, deaths, warding, not warding, items you name it people will flame

I can count the amount of times I've had unpleasant team mates since 2013 on one hand. Maybe I'm just that good?

I'm on EUW, flamers are like once eveery 20-30 games.
