While I don't trash talk, I will rarely give constructive criticism without swearing or implying lack of skill ,I still kind of agree with you.
There's a few type of people that cause toxicity to rise in the game:
-
The person who is always talking, and usually demeaning others or implying they are the best on the team.
Often this person will focus their rage on 1-2 people the entire game and telling them how bad they are
-
The person who gets angry easily, but will not speak unless 1 is annoying them.
-
The calm person who tries to cool down the rage person.
1 says 'Fizz is terrible', 3 'He's not bad we got this'
-
The person who's raging, but their reasons for raging are legitimate.
This person will not rage unless someone starts feeding on purpose, or letting the enemy get free kills.
1 is obviously the worst, and I see these almost every game.
2,4 is sometimes me, but usually I am 3. but I stopped being 2 or 3, why?
2 and 3 really don't help, they just make 1 even more of a douche.
3 seems like the best option, I try to do this, but often it just makes them more angry.. so I usually just don't say anything unless someone is really harassing another player ALL game.
4 doesn't help either, even if they have a good reason to be mad, talking about it just makes everyone rage more.
So pretty much talking at all in this game will bring out ragers, nothing you can do :/
It's also my personal opinion that not being able to dodge games increases toxicity more than it removes it.
Because you can have 1-2 players ruin an entire team's attitude and there's little to nothing you can do about it.
