Why Players Are Toxic

GG Thanks For LP·12/14/2017, 7:39:10 PM·2 votes·1,117 views

Ever wondered why League has such toxic players. Ill share with you why I am toxic:

  1. Players can pick stupid stuff like Rengar Support, go 0/4 in 6 minutes, then afk the rest of game and not get punished.
  2. Players can pick a champ theyve never played before, or play a champ that they have less than 40% wr on with over 20 games on them. Knowing that they will not carry the game, theyre just as useless as a bot.

Basically my point is, you get banned for trying to play the game competitively, but you get held back because of some troll off meta pick or a guy plays a champs hes bad at. But those players dont get punished for inting/afking, because there are ez ways around the system (like walking around in fountain to avoid afk buster).

But instead of punishing those players that troll champ select, troll in game, int in game, afk in game, theyd rather ban Toxic players. Even though theres an easy solution to avoiding toxic players by simply muting. There is no solution to afkers/inters/trolls because its easy to bypass.

There is nothing that justifies toxic people.

You can give your reasons for being toxic all you want. That does not make it okay.

You don't get banned for 'trying to play competitively'. You get punished, possibly as a ban, by being an asshat in chat.

Playing competitively does not require flaming, blaming, and talking down at your teammates.

Players can take NUNU jg, take cleanse/ghost and spend the entire game running it down mid and go 0/47.

And you know what? Let Riot take care of them, no one appointed you a moderator to start flaming him and losing ur shit over 1 game. You will probably never meet that Nunu ever again in your life, so it's better you just let him get a ban then to flame and get both your accounts banned over one game.

Riot and the community don't want toxic players in our game. They don't belong here nor are they wanted here. Nothing you can do or say will ever justify the reason for being toxic. The only thing we want these players to do is just find another game.

Riot should be a lot more strict and find more ways to get rid of toxic players **permanently. **

So here is my stance on this where I partially agree with you. Please note we are talking ranked queue here.

  1. I don’t really care about off meta picks because at the end of the day player skill > meta. That being said, picking meta is easier and gives you a higher chance of winning. So if you pick off meta that’s fine. If you pick off meta and do horrible I’ll get irritated.

  2. New champ players are fairly obvious. Most people can’t pick up champ mechanics quickly in my elo so they will most likely lose lane hard. Another bogus thing allowed in Riots ranked match making.

  3. The horrible match making general where you have players on your team that aren’t even remotely close to the same skill level. This becomes very obvious just by watching their mechanics in lane for a couple moments. They end up dying repeatedly, losing cs, lack of map vision/control, attentiveness to objectives, etc. After awhile it gets annoying...provoking normal players to become toxic players and start flaming....(not saying this is ok or justifying it) but it’s simply the truth.

Riot needs to overhaul its match making.

I for 1 haven't played 20 matches straight when 1 champion to declare i main him/her. The most I play is 5 straight matches which is roughly 3-5hrs as the same champion. The win rate means nothing in low elo, because of the lack of sense of team-fights out weights the game as a whole. If i had a team of 5 vs 5, which we pick different champions we weren't use too, it still would be an decent game whether not we win or lose.

  1. A under 18- child/kid/troll would likely not care for wining, but going Rengar support is understand, but if feeding reported/ A reasonable player would utilize his kit properly regardless if he says "I'm new to Rengar don't get mad". Obviously if this is a lie like the majority of kids says and they keep trash talking their teammates. That's just another form of **"baiting" **you into toxicity .
