Made a new account and saw how New players are treated (its disgusting)

So I decided to make a new account, to grind it up and help new players. I get into blind pick and bots and the level of snobbish, "better than thou" attitudes towards new players is disgusting. People flaming and degrading new players for not knowing how champions work People patting themselves on the back as they brag about how hard they "Solo carried" (good job, you solo carried and left teammates behind so you could laugh and mock them) even had a miss fortune who pulled a "why does league pair me with this trash?" while in 5v5 blind.

No, I am not a new player myself, But I do not hold my nose in the air. I try to help genuinely new players. While more and more I see this community turn its nose up in the air, the vile sense of arrogance and entitlement that they seem to think permits them to tell a player who maybe doesnt know how mechanics work about how trash they are. Cursing the heavens for daring to pair them with new players in blind pick instead of the challenger teir pros they feel they deserve.

I have watched this community flame and degrade new players because they dont know how mechanics work, because they dont know how a champion works, dont know how to ping. Or just have a bad game and die alot only to be flamed and told how they need to be reported for "inting"

I actually did have a good game yesterday because I actually helped "mentor" a player....someone who had not played the game sinse 2013 and so was completely unfamiliar with the changes made to the game. I helped him understand the changes (such as why IP was gone and how come he wasnt getting IP after every match...and why it was changed to blue essense)

At NO point in time did I look down at him, see the player as Lesser or beneath me. which is apparently more than I can say for the majority of this community, which has come to see themselves as some form of royalty, and seeing new players as the disgusting peasants which they lament having to be associated with. As I grind through a new account and try my hardest. More and more I see veteran players who are too busy thumbing thier nose at the new players rather than stopping to help them understand the mechancs, understand how the game or their champ works. They would rather leave the new players to flounder so they can mock and degrade thier team (in my last game had a veteran brand/MF goff about how they totally "2v5 carry" while MF continued to ask why she got paired with trash in blind pick.

I am gonna help the new player again tonight, we had some good games and I helped them understand the changes. and once the player reaches 8 I can help them understand the runes. I have been playing sinse Season 3. But it seems most of the community forgot that they too were once the "Trash newbies" that they seem to dispise now that they are lvl 30+

Way to defend that "#1 most toxic community" title [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] [zombie-brand-clap] [zombie-brand-facepalm]

How many games did you play before you started noticing these kinds of toxic players?

Wasn't there a recent ask riot post that addresses the tutorials and new player concerns?

Most of the low level people are permabanned toxic players trying to get to 30+ again. When you get to 30+, the number of toxic encounters drops drastically.

Hell man, I've done the same thing with enemy players before. Biggest example was a fiddle jg that had taken smite, but was playing with out jg items.
