Why is this game so unenjoyable?

I'm trying to level up this new account and make a genuine effort to reform, and the first game of draft pick I get, two my teammates give up and say "open" in all chat after dying once, despite me being 6-1 on Irelia of all champions. Not giving me a single chance to carry, just gave up instantly and began soft inting, and I did report them but we all know how the fucking report system functions in this game. I've also noticed they do this in high elo all the time when I go to watch a streamer. Tyler1 gives up instantly and so do so many other people after dying at all. Why does this game experience have to revolve around other players? This isn't fun having to play with people like this. I'm too low of a level to play with any of my friends so I have to grind through this trash all the way to level 30 for next season's ranked.

When did they place a level requirement on queueing with friends?

A lot of the toxic players that get banned just make a new account and play there. Pretty much what you get when the game is free and you don't IP ban

It is to be expected, as you win games, your MMR matches with other experienced players and not new ones. Since most players leveling up an account, with experience, have a historic of getting banned, you get the cream of toxicity there. I would suggest queuing up with people you find on the boards or muting all once you get in those random games.

Because permabanning an account just means dumping the toxic player on new players.

Not really the most effective tactic for attracting new players to the game.

It's pure crack. The reward system in general is designed to be addictive. It's not exaggeration when people say they experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop.
