Every Match Is Becoming An Irrational Debate of Toxicity

I took a bit of a break from this game to come back to an even worse cesspool of trolls and whiners. Every match starts to spiral down the dark path of horrible people berating each other over easy mistakes. It takes the rest of the team down and really starts to make me wonder what happened to this game. After 45 minutes at times of waiting in Que, people judge a game after 5 minutes and go AFK to the sacrifice of 4 other people. Not only do you get smeared by the other team, you get in trouble if you leave the game. Why would i sit there and get stomped because someone is pouting in a corner? The expanse of trolls has been created by the punishment system. Your account is a large investment. By punishing players that, quite frankly, have had enough of the crap they read and are just trying to have fun by losing their account gives them nothing to lose and will invest nothing into a new one. This is not only a bad cycle of toxicity, but its just bad business. I really do like your game, but with such an automatic blanket ban system, you are driving away quality players and turning them into the thing you do not want the most. I have tried to research what exactly happens when you report anything, but I doubt anything does happen because there is no response. I don't report often, but the racist, sexist and gay bashing that I read will set me off. I will say something. It is not fair that 9 other people have to read that crap with no defense. There has to be a better way than making people sit on their hands while the general trolls get free reign within your game. I would gladly pay a monthly subscription to be on a separate server just to cut down on the sheer mass of crap that involves most matches. Thanks for reading.

Its because No one cares about the TEAM anymore, Just thier own kills. its not about TEAM CARRY, but who can be the "most op solo carry" No one is willing to look beyond thier own KDA, every player thinks they are the "best player ever" and throw a fit when they are proven wrong. I AM a support. But if my adc flips out at me and goes on about how pro they are, how they "dont need a useless support" I am happy to give them thier wish and go help the OTHER LANES. Then after adc goes 0/5 because they had no one to keep the enemy off them, to help leash, to help let them farm in piece. They flip out and try and bully support back in line "Report my support, abandoning lane, left the adc"

People dont want to work as a team, they just want the 4 other players on the team as WITNESSES to their Personal glory. 4 other witnesses while the player pats themselves on the back and says "How great am I?!"

They think they are platinum, but even in bronze they still expect everyone else at the level THEY are at "Well I shouldnt be bronze, I am a diamond level player" so even in bronze, they expect everyone to play at a diamond level or "ur trash, ur noob" I had a lucian who ran in to an enemy draven, I peel draven off him, Draven comes after ME... and after Lucian attacks draven with ONLY autos (while draven is ripping chunks out of me, finally killing me) After draven kills me, I see "OMG U Noob support, I almost had him, why did you have to die?!" (yeah as If I had a choice whether or not I wanted to die while Lucian is tickling draven with basics) and then he spends the entire game flaming me, telling me how much of an idiot/noob/F#$%in Moron I am over something I had no say in.

So again, about time to retire the "summoners code" considering no one cares about it anymore and the ones that do are laughed right off the system Its no longer about winning as a team But who has most kills and 1v1 me bruh

That is what league has become.

Welcome to preseason, it is always like this. A combination of big balance changes, new features and people in denial over being placed in bronze V. Just come back in a few months, when people are done salting about draft, cones and tumble.

There seems to be an inverse trend concerning player population and attitude when it comes to league: As player population goes up, general attitude of the community goes down/becomes more toxic. Just think of League of Legends as the MOBA version of Call of Duty, since that's the best comparison of communities now.

You are correct.

League players aren't some manic assholes are or anything like that.

Competitive people just get put with teammates or get in stuck in games that they feel they can't win, and since the only way out is to end the game or take a penalty, people feel helpless. You get to the point where you know there is nothing you can do and the easiest way to get rid of the feeling is to start dumping on someone. You can't even just sit at base and wait it out because then you get leaverbustered anyway.

I just had a game where it was 39-9 at 20 mins. Our team said no on the surrender. Our Ivern just flat out left because he didn't want to flame or sit through the whooping. I didn't blame him and I actually honored him, because it was little more than punishment at that point. I managed to refrain from flaming but believe me, at that score, it took every fiber in me to do so. I even wanted to AFK myself but couldn't because I did that the other day in a similar situation.

Also totally agree that banning an account is not enough of a threat. Anyone who has been banned before invests as a little as money as possible into the next account. It's a big deal to ban an account with $500 on it. It's nothing to ban an account with $20 on it. Getting banned is no threat to anyone who doesn't spend money on this game.

It's really frustrating though that League seems to have very little interest in fixing this system though, when it's clear there is a problem.
