Howdy all, I recently tried getting back into this game and its damn near impossible. Not ever, can you have a friendly fun game if you are not winning. Its so toxic you cant even have a graceful loss. The attitude of the community is bad and you all should feel ashamed of yourselves. All gaming communities will have toxic players, its unavoidable and I'm not out to change the world. League being a shitlord community is nothing new, so lets get into the why.

Let me say that this isn't exactly the players fault. Its a problem with the core design of MOBA's in general. I have found that if a player's interaction with a game can be influenced by things he cant control, such as a teammate on the other side of the map, it will make you mad. Currently I am one of those really bad players that loses games and it really sucks dick for my team. I try to win, but I just dont play this game enough, so it induces an honest feedback of ANGER from teammates. If you get dickslapped, you can be rightfully mad ok?

The problem with MOBAs or League of Legends is the game forces you to sit there and just take it in the pooper for up to 45 minutes!!! Of course people are gonna rage when something outside of their control destroys the game in the first 5 minutes and now they have to sit there and get raped over and over again for three quarters of an hour. This is why I call it cancer, because IT CANT BE CURED within the game.

I do not have an answer for this, I am just pointing out the actual problem that drives all the nerd rage. Its not your teammate, its the god damn game itself.

There are many ways to deal with toxicity. You always have the option to take a deep breath, and let it slide right off you. It is just a game, after all.

I find that I never rage, never flame, and (usually) find a way to have fun even in a losing game. Just learn to have fun playing the game itself! The game is only as frustrating as you allow it to be.

Even winning isn't fun in this game, because it's always frustrating as fuck, your team is running around like a bunch of headless chicken and the only communication you have is spam-pinging the shit out of eachother to vent your frustration of not having a decent way to communicate in a teamgame. I used to love this game years ago, I had many friends to play with and we communicated on Skype and had lots of fun, win or loss didn't matter. Games nowadays are just 1v9, everyone is flaming, raging and trolling, and if you only DARE to get frustrated and release your anger at them like a normal fucking human does, then YOU get punished for getting mad. I've decided I just troll the shit out of every game until all my accounts are banned, the company is cancer, the game is cancer, the people are cancer, and atleast I'll have fun for the last time.

You're right, that's exactly one of the main problems with this game, and what makes it even worse is now rito has implemented autoban bots to where if you're even remotely mad and say anything you get strikes against you until you're banned which is very quickly. They claim "you can be mad but and not be toxic". Which is a bunch of bullshit because the second you say anything even remotely mad in chat it's ALWAYS considered toxic. And you can bet there will be at least 1 person who reports it and that's how you get banned. Which is why this game is not worth putting any money into at all, wanna play it? Sure you can play it, but trust me when it comes to putting even 1 dime into this game don't do it. It's a waste of money on a company that has no intention of making this game better just making people pay them for their insane censorship in a game made to be toxic by design.

Yeah I just had them delete my account (they said it would take a few days) and uninstalled

It's a fun game, but the vast majority of the people who play it take it super serious to a point where it's just unplayable to any kind of a normal, casual person. To me it's a cool free game, but to most of the players it's like important to them. It's really sad watching them fight over who's fault a death was.

I personally think that if THIS is like your game that you are super into, that you're pretty much a loser honestly. You can tell by how these people talk that they have zero social skills or lives beyond LoL.. they insult people who don't know the phrases they throw around or requests they make during a game. It's funny sometimes, like it's funny watching a youtube video of an obese adult yelling about not having mountain dew in the fridge, but only to a point. The point that I got to after having it on my PC for 4 weeks
