Goodbye League of Legends

G12··4 votes·777 views

I would just like to write a farewell "letter", since i am taking a pretty long break, or perhaps quitting Lol all together. I've had some nice games and met some nice people, but this game is just full of toxic people who ruin everything. One of the biggest problems for Lol is not dealing with these toxic people the way they should be dealt with; it is as if Riot Games don't even care about "casual" players and their experience. Anyway, i have decided to quit Lol after playing it for the past 2 years simply because of these toxic people-losing every game in a row because of random "trolls" or feeders. I know that everyone can have bad games, and that is true. Hell, i've had A LOT of bad games. But there is a difference between losing fair to a better opponent and losing because of, for example, Kata top against Voli. Now i know that some will say it is not trolling if you experiment, which i also find true. But i do not find it true if that experimentation is followed by a feeding spree because you ran into that Voli 5 times in a row after he did first blood on you. And all that in a ranked match. This is just one of many examples i had which led to me quitting league. There are many more, from Ezreal top against Darius (a fail, who would say, right?), to Cait mid against a Yasuo (also a fail). These were my last games, not a single "normal" team comp. I know many will criticise me and say that i also played bad. Yes, i also played bad, but i started playing bad after about 12 loses in a row. After such a "spree" you get a bit tilted, i have to admit. But i never fed the enemy team, i never verbally abused my teammates and i never grieved, even though there were moments when i thought of going afk, i have to admit that too, but i never did. So, i thank all the nice, positive and friendly people i played League with for great games and experiences and i hope you stay that way :D. To Riot Games, League of Legends and you toxic ***** out there: Take this letter and stick it somewhere safe.

I feel like trolling and griefing in ranked games specifically needs serious and immediate action. Someone trolls a Normal or Blind Pick game and you just /ff back into a normal game wasting maybe 20 mins. In a ranked game I will gun it for over an hour dragging along the cancerous tumor of this troll to try and win because I refuse to lose lp over someone mommy and daddy didn't love enough and isn't pretty enough to get into gay porn or something so they turn to trolling in league.

The report system is useless for us. Riot should be using reports as triage. Focus on ranked games before anything else since it's a core part of the game. It's more impactful to people playing this game. then go down the list. Get to everyone eventually, but in ranked games this behavior is simply game-ruining. You end up not even wanting to play normals because it is so demoralizing.

This is the kind of behavior that makes people regret every buying RP.

We need to see a real impact. We need to see real commitment from Riot to manage them.

The thing that annoys me the most is how ranked trolls are not dealt with first, as toxic players seem to be riot's top priority, which is not right. Riot should actively hunt down trolls, and give a warning/punishment quickly. Also, the problem is that they might just make a new account and troll there.

IP bans are a thing for lots of games. Trolls want easy thrills by ruining other people's enjoyment. They don't want to really work for it. They'll just move on to something else after the 3rd proxy or so.

Riot just needs to show more backbone. I'd pay plenty more towards this game if I didn't feel like I want to quit every week or so from the toxicity. And take note: How often are these trolls using a skin or showing that they invested money into this game? Almost never. I've actually never seen a troll with a skin on ever. They may talk in chat to be annoying, but they don't deliberately feed or throw the game because they're invested in it. Something worth noting.

IP bans don't work for a number of reasons.

  • They're VERY easy to circumvent in this day and age.
  • Many people play League at colleges or such places, where you can't just IP ban them without screwing over a ton of other players.

There are probably other reasons, but those are the two I recall immediately.

Ranked bans man, ranked bans...

They should also (if they haven't already) implement a ranked ban. I had to talk a Twisted Fate player out of going AFK today, and ended up concentrating harder on encouraging him than actually playing (thankfully I was playing Janna, so I still went 0/3/33). We ended up winning what was probably the closest game I've ever played, but still the weight of being the voice of reason tired me.

I would have loved to play with you, man. You are still honorable despite the influence of toxic players, and that demands my respect. From my own experiences, tilt can be negated both by taking a deserved break from the game and finding a good duo partner. Duo queue provides something to fall back on and an incentive to continue playing. You hone your teamwork with that duo partner which takes the focus off of the toxicity of ranked.

uhm Ez should work really well against Darius.

Considering hoe slippery Ez is Darius woudl have a hard time catching him which means Ez could harrass him forever, basically the same principle as Teemo Vs Darius
