What bothers you the most in League?

MTT Gnar·2/26/2017, 3:30:33 AM·3 votes·1,252 views

To be honest with you, me being a Level 6 (used to be Level 5 when I played my first "real game" (PvP), but I wasn't ready for what's to come, hence why you don't see me play PvP like some expect me to), I am still new to League, so yes, everyone has to start somewhere, much like I did (and I haven't played a PvP game since the first time, since the team I had was not supportive besides my friend, as she said that I did good regardless, but the players I was paired with were toxic just because I kept dying and wouldn't surrender).

Basically, I have a friend that plays League with me a lot and we practiced so I could be ready for a real game, which was my first PvP, which ended in defeat and I was blamed because I apparently "watch YouTube videos" in order to practice and that I should have given up because I kept dying due to an OP Riven player in the enemy team. I do take full responsibility for dying too much (as I did keep trying to defeat Riven), but saying that I "watch YouTube videos" and that I should give up and practice more (which I have been doing, except I just play with bots, then I may move on to Co-op vs. AI at a later date once I feel more comfortable) is just rude and brings me down, and makes me think that I'll never be a good League player.

All I can say is, I just kept a positive attitude and told them no and to not give up even if we ended in defeat. So I don't get why I was blamed for it because I'm new to League. I told them as well that I was new and that I may be slow at things.

So basically what bothers me is people nagging me even if I'm new to League. Just...stop nagging, toxic players. Not everyone is perfect.

Sorry, I just had to get this off of my chest, as I couldn't just keep it bottled up. I know, I should ignore them if that happens again and mute them, of course. But as I have said, I didn't let their words bring me down, as I kept a positive attitude.

God, can you imagine playing your first PvP match against boxbox? Riven I would cry.

Yeah the community here sucks. League is notorious for it's terrible people that play the game.

I pretty much hate everyone here.

..But, every now and then you meet some cool people along the way. You come together and slap a zed in the face, inch an escape and backdoor a nexus, and your first pentakill... there's no other feeling I've felt like slaying, and knowing, I just outsmarted 5 other people, bettered them in that moment and became the spotlight of the peers I played with.

People suck here, it's true. But if you have a blazing competitive spirit and people to play this game with, I would tell you that I would do it all again for the thrills I've had.

The only time I lose my temper is when people refuse to vote yes on surrenders when there is no chance to win. Also I really hate being forced to play with premades (especially 4 man premades).

Losing because of terrible teammates. Nothing lamer than losing LP or even being demoted in a game where you played well, got an S grade, but couldn't carry your literally 0/25 botlane.

What I hate about league is the game itself. + getting banned by riot for hacking then proceeds to not show you any evidence like its going to make them bankrupt. Hell they can't even tell me what the damn hack does because thats going to make them bankrupt for sure.

Short answer, A ranked system that judges you on win loss and not preformance

Think the closest I've come to being toxic was during my last game. Just before I type up this story, I'd like to mention that I already made it apparent to my team that I wasn't in the best of moods, but made it just as apparent I wanted to be positive this game. Prior to this argument that lead to this post, I was not in as bad of a spot as I am now. Our team was struggling due to an imbalance of powers, but we were just managing to hold on. Though, naturally something triggers, and the Fiora on our team wonders why we have a Vayne jungler. Despite the salt in my words, there was genuine curiosity on my part as to the reason behind such a choice. With no word from Vayne, our mid laner Vel'koz decides to interject, telling me to stop complaining, and leave if I don't like it. This didn't bother me to such a major degree at first, despite my retort, but naturally, it grew into something even more ugly from there.

Now, I'm not one to insult people if I have the wits to help myself from doing so, but I am easy to argue with if in a bad enough mood. The argument I had with the Vel'koz was due to such a cause. Soon it turned into me just being frustrated and soon to be very angry with him, rather than with the original minor complaint I had at the start. Agreeably, I could and should have muted, not having the awareness to do so until the end, and as it should rightfully follow, we lost, largely due to our argument I'm sure. Even so, I personally could not let it rest, wanting to continue my rough conversation with him in post chat, wanting to at least reach an ultimatum that'd decide the end of are argument, teeming with unwittingly placed commentary. Despite my copious amounts of cursing, I did what I could to make enough sense to describe what set me off, only to be called a child for my behavior. This did not turn for the better, and continued for another 10 minutes, before I simply left.

I'm sure the Vel'koz's intent may have been within the right at first, but the white knighting I believe he thinks took place, only made it worse. This may be my frustration talking, and without me realizing, I more than likely was toxic in some way. But just as much of me believes that it's highly possible that not all toxic behavior is just as direct. Whether it's their intention or not.
