So I think I might be done with League..
I've never been the best player. I am one of those guys that think I'm better than my elo though. Do I think I'm diamond? Not sure. I don't think I deserve to play in silver though. My mechanics are my weak point. I know this. I can identify what I need to work on. Do I get a little toxic at points? Sure. This game is making more and more people lean that way. I know my strengths. Game knowledge. I've watched thousands of hours of LCS. Played thousands of games on different accounts. I know builds, what to max, a solid understanding of most champs. The thing I can NOT understand. Why is the community of League of Legends becoming more toxic every year?
The game used to be more fun. People wouldn't rage as hard, not saying they never did, just wasn't as often. You could actually solo carry a game if needed. Unless you are challenger or a god like ADC now, then you might be able to carry games still. At the end of the day though, the community is what gets me the most. People refuse to listen, refuse to learn, refuse to help, refuse to even try. They queue for ranked just to do it. I'm not sure if normals just are rewarding for these players, maybe they just think they actually know the game when they don't. I'm not saying I know the most, but I know for a fact I know more than them. There are times where I am trying to explain something to somebody. Why they shouldn't do this, why something they did was just plain STUPID. Guess what this means? I'm toxic. I'm toxic because I said what they did was stupid and they should've been doing this instead. I was being blunt with teaching them and showing them the right way. This makes me toxic in League of Legends. Got it. Moving on, I didn't play for about a month. I decided to finally hop on today and try a few games.
Game 1: Was superrrr rusty. Made some HORRIBLE mistakes, acknowledged them and kept going. Had a play where me and mid went bot for a 4v2. Got the kills pretty easily. I ping dragon and start to run over and go. I'm still a bit behind at this point, but this is an easy take. Our super fed mid laner decides to not help and just goes back to mid. I ping her name and ping dragon hoping she just comes to finish this quickly. Doesn't come. At least I have my bot lane though. Hoping this works. Their mid starts roaming down. I ping again to see if mid will follow for drag here. Then comes their JG. 3v2. We are still slightly low from bot gank and no ults. Their JG kills me at drag 1k health, steals drag. THEN our mid comes down and cleans up. I was then told "that was a bad call to do drag"...........
Game 2: I do really well. Team does well. Not much to complain about or note.
Game 3: My god. We grab early lead. Then our team doesnt know strengths and begins to throw the lead. The game finally ends and me and my ADC start talking. Calling me braindead I begin to explain that I have 33% more CS, 100% more kills, 100% more turret damage than them, and same death count. Then this happens..
420xBlazikenx420: no one cares about a f***** turret Lightshøw: wut Lightshøw: OBJ game 420xBlazikenx420: its about winning the gamer
Then the mid comes back and chimes in..
<Removed by Moderation>I would understand if this was a once in awhile thing, however it's not. It happens more and more over the years. Even after a one month break, 2 of 3 games today had a toxic environment to them. I used to love this game. Now I can not play it. I know most don't care, will say see ya, etc. This will only further prove the point. A solid community would want to change things and encourage others to improve and not leave, to keep it growing.
Thanks for the years of memories.
