The Toxicity level of this Community

Saltinc·2/2/2016, 2:56:19 PM·8 votes·3,180 views

is waaaaaaaaay to high. I mean, telling another human being to "plz die" "irl" over a video game is insane. Why do people get so angry at this game? So angry that they wish someone else's LIFE to be extinguished! I for one am appalled by this behavior. As I have said, IT'S A GAME. As far as I know, human life is far more important! We need to figure out a way to clean up this community's act, as a community. Riot can only do so much. It's time for the community to put a stop to this nonsense.

Ways to prevent this behavior:

  • If the game makes you so upset that you wish death on another person, THEN STOP PLAYING IT.
  • If you have nothing good or constructive to say, then don't say anything.
  • Keep a level head. If you get stomped one match, just remember it's only one match. There are plenty of them to be had.
  • If you get tilted, then take a break. Play another game, go outside and enjoy nature. Fuck your girl/boy friend. Go to movies. The list goes on.

These are just some ways I have thought of for me to reduce my level of toxicity over the years. They have worked wonders. That's it for my rant. Have some fun today folks :)

ITS A GAME. Right?

Why do you care so much what a 12 year old is saying to you.

/Mute all and move on.

You said it. It's just a game. Don't care about what other people say

Thats not just a League thing, you'll see the same comments in any competitive online game you play.

In my opinion, feel free to disagree with me but I don't even think the toxicity in this game is that big of a problem. People are just be over sensitive about everything. This game is very fun but it at times can be stressful people are going to say things out of anger instead of responding back and trying to ban everyone who hurts your feelings MUTE THEM. You wont be able to read the nasty comments they send you. If you know your a sensitive person who cant ignore comments mute everyone in the beginning of the match unless your playing with a friend or friends. you have enough time in the beginning to avoid the problem. Riot solved the toxic problem with the mute button USE IT.

Hey, how about you use the mute feature? Sensitive Emo's are getting good players perma-banned. Do you think they just stop playing? No, they have to climb the ranks again, ruining the game experience for lowbies.

They ruin it by playing too well and by being toxic.

Why don't u save some lowbies the trouble, use the mute feature and stop being such a ....

Whats sad is that the person thinks his or her behavior is acceptable. People that bring down a team of 4 other people really should not be protected. People that cannot handle the "toxic" nature of the game obviously do not want to win or else they would try to improve and not continue to bring down the team. The people that are labeled "toxic" are often players that expect to have a chance to win or expect to win because they themselves are doing well in game. The only reason they are labeled toxic is because other people are preventing them from having fun. Maybe the feeders should take a break. Play another game, go outside and enjoy nature. And stop ruining the game.

It's not a game, it's a competition and competition brings out the worst in people. You know that guy telling you to die? Well from his perspective you're a bad player that is ruining his game and forcing him to lose LP so it will take even longer for him to gain his precious Victorious skin and Plat+ border. You are ruining his day and you are doing it on purpose by being bad and you are trolling him just to make him lose even though he is a thousand times better than the enemy and deserves that higher up recognition that Riot encourages people to attempt to obtain. All this toxicity is perpetuated by Riot's attitude towards their game -- just look at the emphasis on eSports for proof!

You want the toxicity to stop? Remove all ranked rewards and remove all benefits/penalties from winning and losing. In fact, remove Ranked and you'll probably find toxicity to be cut in half because winning or losing doesn't really matter.

lol, that response though. I appreciate the fact that you have done this JP, I have wanted to make a post about this for a long time, I just haven't figured out how I should say it. And too many people are just flaming about others flaming, so it's good to see someone that actually knows, what it means. Don't get me wrong, I'm very salty to in some games, but I'm trying to stop it, because I know that it only hurts everyone on the team. It makes people feel worse, so they play worse, I wish I could give this 200 upvotes, so that other people would start looking at it. :D God bless
