I'm sad people are so toxic in this game. I'm sad that if I mess up, I get flamed by everyone. I'm sad that even if I don't mess up, I get blamed for others' mistakes. I'm sad that I'll friend someone will send me a friend request just to send me a message like the one above. I'm sad because I love this game, and but people are just out to ruin the experience.

I don't know, it just sucks cause all of this happens when I'm in norms, I don't even dare to play ranked. I was on the verge of crying when the guy in this chat told me he hoped my mom would kill herself. I mean, I've been playing this game long enough to know there are mean people out there, but it's just hitting the tipping point now. I'm kinda done with this toxic community.

Why did you accept his friend invite in the first place? Mute, report, move on.

" I'm sad that if I mess up, I get flamed by everyone. " /Mute all

"I'm sad that even if I don't mess up, I get blamed for others' mistakes. " /Mute all

"I'm sad that I'll friend someone will send me a friend request just to send me a message like the one above." Don't accept the request in the first place?

Do we really have to tell you that? If someone is flaming you ingame and then proceeded to friend request you after the game CLEARLY they sent it so they could continue to flame you. Either you have no common sense or this is fake.

Add me on NA servers when they go back up. I have a group of friends who aren't toxic (though we do love to joke at eachother about skill). We are almost all unranked to silver and we provide a safe team to try new things and have fun. I wouldnt mind introducing you to the group. we are always looking for new blood. :D ~ SinfulArtisan

Stop being sad. If you have any emotional reaction, it should be anger. I'm not surprised that the community has gotten worse. Every single thing Riot has done to alleviate the problem has only exacerbated it. They claim to have hired psychologists and other "experts" to help them, and what have they come up with? Chat restrictions and suspensions. Wow. Doesn't take a genius to implement features that have been in every online game ever. Of course this does absolutely nothing to change people's attitudes for the better. If anything, it makes them more frustrated that they can't communicate with their team the way they want, or even say "glhf" to the other team. It is used as a scare tactic as well, leaving the player fearful of communicating AT ALL because they might say the wrong thing and get a suspension. Forcing people to shut up is a BAD THING. Other players are often no help, as when they see someone raging, they will fuel the flames instead of trying to put them out. Flaming them back as some have suggested in this thread is a horrible idea, and makes you just as bad as the rager. Once you say "u mad bro" or "rekt" you have immediately forfeited the moral high ground. So yes you are correct that the community is getting worse. Riot's attempts to mask this through the use of cheap, ineffective moderation tools are to blame. True reform can't come from Riot. It can only come from the players.

To be truly honest, though the community has always been pretty toxic, it seems like it is (and has been) getting progressively worse, as this season goes by. I believe the problem, the MAIN problem, with the League community is that nearly every player who isn't a Support main has a serious issue with being carried by other players. This opinion is based off of my own experiences but also of other friends of mine's experiences.

Being carried shouldn't be a bad thing, but a lot of players seem to think that they are the "heart" of every game and that they MUST BE the one who wins it, despite there being 4 other players on their team. For everything that goes wrong, that player flames.

Get 4-man dove under tower at 8 minutes? Completely out of your control, but that player is flaming you. Get camped so hard in your lane to the point where just showing up to your lane's tower means certain death for you? That player is flaming you. Miss one or two or even three CS because you don't wanna take the risk of dying for it? That player is flaming you.

Literally any and everything in this game right now will get you flamed, and THAT is the problem. No one wants to just play the game and accept that EVERYONE loses sometimes.

What he doesn't show is the in game or deleted part of the conversation where he was actually his friend and flamed him all game. i've played this game long enough to see through your bullshit and have seen countless people come here and complain when if you did nothing wrong you would talk to riot not make a out of context thread

1: As much as I hate saying it, /mute exists for a reason. You will unfortunately come across jerks playing this game, but that is why /mute exists. Just mute them, report, and move on. Dwelling on negativity will make you hate everything.

2: If someone is flaming you during a game, why the hell would you add them to your FL? This is common sense. What good do you think would come from adding someone who was flaming during a game? I'm not trying to be rude but this makes no sense to me why anyone would add someone right after a game if they were being an assbag. If this was someone you had way before and they randomly sent that to you, well just remove them and send a support ticket with the summoner name and a screen shot. If not this just looks like you set yourself up to be chewed out.

Most of us in the community know there are plenty of toxic people that play this game. But toxic people exist everywhere. Even at work, home, and with friends. But there are also plenty of positive people who play the game. It's just the toxic players are more vocal than the positive ones. If you're going to keep sitting here feeling "woe is me" then all I can say is tough luck. People suck, but dont let them ruin anything for you. You play the game for yourself and how to want to. If someone is a problem then deal with it using the appropriate steps and move on (mute, report, and block can be your best friends dealing with these people).

I'm sorry you had to deal with flamers, but from someone who's been playing the game for a long time this will never truly go away. So cheer up and play for yourself. Don't drag yourself down to their level or respond with how they want you to. Just play and have fun.

Good luck!

Why'd you take out his name? Riot could see this and easily do something to that sad sad person.

I rarely get flamed in game. It is poor morality to join a team game and weigh your teammates down.

Try a role like Amumu Jungle or Braum support. You need to add some value to your team for once.
