Sure, you get some 'get gancer, 'kys' and 'noob' but overall, people are kinda nice here. At least in foruns, unlike other games. cough overwatch cough Anyway, I hope we can still improve and be better ^^
ModThe Djinn7 votesYeah, that's been my experience as well. There are two things I think may lead to this:
#1 -- Toxicity (or anger about toxicity) leads to more toxicity. When player's emotions are running high it's easier to snap, or to read toxicity into things not meant as such. Players who tend to tilt or counterflame seem to think League is a much worse community than players who are friendly and supportive in all situations -- or so my personal experience talking to players has indicated.
#2 -- The human brain remembers negative experiences more vividly than positive ones. One or two negative experiences can offset a large number of positive experiences -- it's simply an evolutionary trait of the human brain, but it definitely helps make League seem like a worse community.
Rand0mH3r0X1 votesWell, I'm Onyx in Halo Wars 2, and I can tell you that the online community is very nice.
As far as Overwatch, the online community is nice, too (in console at least). There is an increasing number of people using mouse+keyboard instead of controllers though, and that to me is pretty tilting, but not game-breaking.
In CoD and BF1, fml that community sunk hell itself.

Not completely accurate. People are more inclined to remember anomalous events than they are common ones. Example: No one will remember every day that it's sunny in Las Vegas, but you will remember the day it snows---as that is a less common occurrence.
In League, it is far less common to have a positive, good natured, happy teammate than it is an angry, toxic individual, troll or intentional feeder

Naw cmon man don't be like that.
Riot swears that they are taking care of the toxic players, and with the new honor system people are incentivized to be nice!
HAPPY DAYS ARE ON THE HORIZON!!!!!
LOL

Both are true, actually. Look up "Negativity Bias." It's true that we remember distinctive events, but also that we remember negative events more.
And yeah: people who are outspokenly friendly and happy aren't as common as I'd like. But more people tend to be vocal about their displeasure than vocal about their contentment. Alas!

Djinn, you're a good guy and I like you a lot.
Always respectful and professional. It's heartwarming.

HarambeMeme1 voteswell no other online game has done to me what league has in terms of negativity and i have played ALOT of online games and offline.. fps like call of duty have done somewhat close to what league has but league is really in a whole other level of toxicity.
KennysDreamGirl7 voteswhat world are you from? I cant go one day without someone being toxic or trolling
MrFeelg00d2 voteswhat world are you from? I cant go one day without someone being toxic or trolling
LOL, right?
I honestly feel like Riot has their employees log on their personal accounts and come make these posts to continue pulling the wool over these forum fanboy's eyes.
xXRaichopXx3 votesPeople on the forums are pretty bad too...

LiranMLG3 votesLeague's community isn't as bad as people put it out to be. Me and my friends got honor level 3 yesterday. You just gotta remember to keep positive.
HarambeMeme1 votes"stfu noob" is used in this game more then any other game ive seen . pretty bad if you ask me

I had to check the time stamp on this post. Maybe in Season 1 I would agree with you, but I can't play more than 2 games without someone being toxic, trolling or going afk. It doesn't matter what Elo you play in, it doesn't matter what game mode it is, the community is exponentially worse than it was when I started playing. I used to add people after games all the time, I still have a few online friends from when I first started playing (although many of them have quit this game for various reasons, some of which were community related). I don't ever add people anymore, this community is horrendous and getting worse.
It has the reputation around the net for the worst community and that reputation is well earned. Technically speaking, the Heroes Of New Earth community was worse back in 2012---I don't even know if that game exists anymore, but per capita, by volume or in any sample size you chose and everything in between, this community is a hot plate of garbage.
I am far more shocked when I meet nice people in game now... it's actually almost worth post about on the forums it happens so rarely.
zPOOPz2 votesI seem have a different experience than you. I have no had any reason to report anyone in my last 20+ games and I am the type who will report each and every single GG EZ on the off-chance it will trigger a review for their other more serious offenses.
SleepySlayer3 votesLeague has probably one of the worst communities in video-games that I have ever seen, Riot is probably one of the worst companies that I've had the mispleasure of dealing with, both in reguards to said community and their support staff.
HarambeMeme1 votes"League has probably one of the worst communities in video-games that I have ever seen" sooooooooo true

MrFeelg00d2 votesLol, except that you have a totalitarian ruler, in the form of Riot, trying to control things that they literally cannot control.
Which is why the trolls are just going to continue to get worse and worse, as has been proven over the years.
Ark Sorcerer2 votesLol, except that you have a totalitarian ruler, in the form of Riot, trying to control things that they literally cannot control.
What do you mean by that, exactly?
TheDangerousTaco1 votesI think he just means they are enforcing a certain type of tolerated behavior. rest are punished (idk)
Mira Arya Enthe1 votesI found someone who voted for chaos
KVbqbFsC8e2 votesThe ridiculous oversensitivity, not only the "toxicity", is part of what makes it so bad.
Rand0mH3r0X2 votesYou clearly haven't met a Platinum player.
If 7% represents the Platinum player base, and 5% represents the toxic player base, 5.6% of the player base is Toxic and Platinum.
Sexy Jack Rabbit2 votesI legitimately have to ask what region or world you play league in? The game and the community is so incredibly gross that meeting a NICE player is actually a refreshing experience. As far as MMO's it's by far the worst when it comes to it's community. It has it's reputation for a reason.
Personally I've only ever seen the forums to be incredibly toxic and not fun. It's painful to watch because most discussions maybe go 1 or 2 replies b4 divulging into rubbish.
I think the biggest issue is the boards absolute failure to understand that some people just have opinions.
The unfortunate downside is that there is really nowhere else to find any decent information or occasionally see some funny or interesting posts. (Don't even recommend me the cesspool that is reddit).
Darius Strada2 votesDamn guys, a little bit of some positivity doesn't hurt. Some posts are actually making me sad xD
HarambeMeme1 voteswelcome to league of legends bb
Cryo002 votesYeah, I rarely get toxic players in my games. It may have to do with the fact that I just play normals and ARAM. The most toxicity I get is a champion going for a stupid initiation or dive and the spam pings ? for his team not following up.
DOTA 2 on the other hand.........
Brascus2 votesBlizzard deserves their community
BoilTheOil1 votesEverybody in platinum thinks that inting and trolling is a good idea
Deep Purple Myst1 votesYeah easy to say but when you're trying to be nice to everyone but then your teamates are braindead retarded that don't understand what focusing is or how to follow up a tank engaging its really fucking hard to go "hey good job hun keep it up!" i'l be supportive and be the first one to tell you good job if you do well but if your clearly not able to comprehend the game then get off my ranked
themachamp1 votesheh.....wait till you get on some losing ranked teams.
