Toxicity in Casual Games

First of all, I would like to say that "tryharding" in norms is completely fine with me. Normal Games give a chance to practice the mechanics of a new champion or new item builds without the stress of ranked. But most people in normals are chill and don't complain about troll builds because those words only apply in ranked situations. A lot of the times, it's entertaining to play with or against a support Riven.

After getting suspended for toxicity (details are in my last discussion), playing norms was chill for me. I always wanted to level up another account, and the relaxed atmosphere reduced a lot of the stress I have been going through. But sometimes, I would be surprised to find people raging in my lvl 10 normal games, where none of us have keystones and most of us take heal and ghost (lvl 1 summoner spells). I just started playing in games with junglers XD.

I really found this interesting. Why even be toxic in meaningless games? You can't really blame lvl 5s to play badly unless you say you are a smurf.

Human behaviour is hard to change. Personalty is built within everyone. Someone who is toxic in real life and who has difficulty dealing with bad situations express themselves inappropriately. I hate when people are toxic. It makes me feel like I want to be toxic back to them... but i chose not to (unless im drinking then i dont GAF and say things back some times. BUT yes I agree. People really got to STFU and just play the game. No one plays this game saying "I hate this game and all the players that play it. Im going to rage and get p!ssed off and call them out. Yeah sounds like a great night."

meaningless you say? I don't see how ranked and normal is any difference. 10 people committed 30-60 minutes of their personal time to either normal or ranked (or even vs ai). That's a pretty big commitment considering most people have limited time in the day to spend 30-60 minutes for a single game. Some people play for fun, some play to win (so their time commitment means something). I don't understand the mentality of norms is meaningless.

In any case, if this is sub-30 levels and those you met are truly new players, obviously they do not want their first taste of LoL to be a 10 loss streaks. I think new players want to win even more than veteran because they haven't played enough games to brush off a few losses here and there.
