"Playing the Victim" Culture Still Worse As Ever

TL;DR: Came back after 4 mos on Dota 2, went on an insane tear, and got blockaded at Silver 4 by teammates "playing the victim" and report-shaming my account for basic human interactions.

Came over to League of Legends again from Dota 2 because of a friend, and it's just incomprehensible how this community behaves in ranked games. I just wanted to write a warning to people who think they can get anything out of this game playing solo queue.

You can't. It's a downward spiral. Or, just pay for boosting.

Your skill will be capped by "care bears" that only join ranked games to feed their egos by psychologically abusing the players that are trying to actually win the game. Any type of simple interaction, advice giving or, conversation, can cause someone to spontaneously start spouting off the word "toxic" and subsequently stop participating until the team loses, all in the name of "evidence" toward some tweaker rabbit hole of a report.

This will happen in ~40% of your matches once you hit Silver 5 elo. They just don't care because of their demotion protection. I chalked it up to placements putting people meant for low Bronze elo into my bracket unintentionally. Either way, you must pay for boosting to escape this elo bracket, there is a mire of players who are only queuing up so they can fall behind and report others for trying to motivate them.

In Dota 2 this does not exist. The game is not centered around report-shaming, the map is much bigger, and you can outplay an entire enemy team with your hero if you are skilled enough with their mechanics.

The good players always rise to the top because of this, and the bad players who want to play the victim continuously fall into low priority queues where they must Win-out a number of games before they can go back to trolling normal queues. Which is essentially oblivion because they will get caught in a cycle of losses due to their habitual victim playing.

I know the devs wanted to make a friendlier MOBA but, the reporting system is completely broken and it has attracted the worst kind of gamer to infest the servers. Imho, League is a psychological experiment more than a game at this point.
