The League community in a nutshell

Just had a pretty close game while I was playing Lux. I was laning against an Azir who killed me twice in lane. The game was looking pretty bleak until our Gangplank kept on baiting their Rumble in for easy kills for me. From their I was able to snowball top and mid while Gangplank roamed bot and snowballed our Kog. After the game, I told the Azir that it was fun laning with him, and he and their Shyvana responded by attacking me and Gangplank, saying that we were trash and that it was easy to press a button and snipe Rumble. It's kind of alarming, really. I tried to be nice and show kindness, and they responded by lashing out. That's the problem with the league community. Lots of people think they can just hide behind their keyboard and say whatever they want. Anyway, that's my rant.

TLDR; Tried to be nice to be nice to another guy after winning a game, he and another opponent responded by being dicks.

Focus less on stroking the ego of your team and expecting praise for acknowledging their plays and start focusing on making plays of your own. Not trying to sound harsh or judge but that's really all you can do due to the high tilt that burns throughout the community as well as toxicity.

Edit: I just read that you won lol. I think they were just salty because as you mentioned azir had killed you twice in lane and if rumble was performing poorly that was more just his personal frustration as the ones raging clearly didn't perform well enough to win. Hopefully you reported. Regardless of if your team played a major part in you winning or you got carried its a team game anyway who even cares lol especially if you won there's no excuse to feel put down.

That isn't really the community in a nutshell. Even though those situations are somewhat common, those people are the minority. Think about it, that shyvana was 1 person in that game and that is usually how those things go. 1 or 2 misfits poisoning the well. I think that it is extremely important to keep that in mind. Just report them and forget about them. They aren't worth even the amount of thought that lead you to post about it. Those people are getting banned constantly, they will get what is coming to them.
