This Needs To Stop
See i've been playing this game for a very long time, and over the past 1 and a half years, something I started to notice was the community getting more and more toxic. I played a game with this person, and I didn't do too well. Instead of my team giving me constructive criticism on what I can do better, they thought it would be a better idea to consistently flame and tell me stuff like this. I ended up muting all of them in-game. After the game however, this person took it a step farther. He added me, and me being an optimist, thinks maybe he is apologizing. Boy was I wrong, the thing that gets me the most about this, I see this in about 5/10 games I play, there is always that 1 or 2 toxic people and in the odd case that 1 extremely toxic player like the one in the screen shot above.
Our community should be better than that. We are one of the largest E-Sport communities out there, and I don't understand the need to be toxic. When someone is having a bad game, you don't put them down, you give them advice to get better. What if you transferred this into real life? When you yourself did something wrong in school or at work, would you want your teacher/co-worker to tell you to "Hang yourself"?
Now I'm speaking directly to Riot Games, the Tribunal has been down for "Maintenance" for quite a while now, players who are exceedingly toxic are getting away with it. They are ruining the overall community experience for real players. You need to do something about this Riot. You need to take action. I don't feel comfortable playing a game where I get told to kill myself, especially with myself having a suicidal past. It hurts. It really does.
For now, I think I'm going to stop playing League of Legends, I can't deal with the toxicity anymore. And I'm sure plenty of you will say something like, "Just mute your team" or "This is why you should play with friends". And I've done both of these things, but still cannot get away from the toxicity.
Sorry about the last post, I should of completely read the rules first :3 Fixed it though.
One day, there will be a reckoning
