Either League of Legends has changed or I have.

First, let me preface this by saying, I've never been suspended or banned. I'm not going to sit here and say I haven't gotten reported before because, honestly, I think we all have at one point or another. I'm just giving observations based on my recent League of Legends experience.

So I haven't really played much summoners rift in the past year or so. In fact, I generally just play some AI for first win and call it a night. In the past, League of Legends was fun. Then it became really, really toxic. It got to the point where after two or three matches you are guaranteed a rager that is intent on ruining your day.

Let's fast forward to tonight. I played three matches. The first match, I did well enough. It was my main role and the new system allowed me to get it. The second match, I decided to fill so I could practice roles I didn't know. Going in I knew I would probably not do terribly great as I read some guides minutes before the match(I had a feeling the system would pick support when doing fill so I just read a few guides to be safe). I tried really hard but surprise surprise I didn't do well. My team didn't rage and they even laughed at the enemy team saying isn't this game suppose to be fun anymore? We ended up winning when we were WAYYY behind. Seriously we were behind the enemy team on gold from 16 minutes till after 40 minutes. Still we played the game for fun. We ended up winning. The other team made a small mistake and raged on each other in all chat.

Could be a fluke right? Played another match with fill selected, got the same role, did terrible again. This time my teammate raged on me (ADC), I down played the event. We both made mistakes and I continued to support them (I was playing Thresh). We were down gold from 9 minutes to 35 minutes. Still turned it around and won. We just let the rager rage. Still grouped up, just made the rager feel like a rockstar letting them have kill after kill. Figured it was the best way to downplay the situation and work as a team.

You may think why would you want to make someone raging at you feel good? Maybe they had a bad day. Maybe they've had several bad matches in a row. Toxic players make non-toxic players toxic sometimes. Even if they are just that kind of toxic player that wants attention it doesn't really matter. This game is suppose to be about a group of people coming together to have fun. Raging against someone whose already on tilt while you think it's fun in the moment, is like scratching an itch. A few seconds might feel good but do it for half an hour and your skin is now bleeding. Just try to soothe your skin and it will feel better faster.

Shure. The parallels between SJW behaviors and the behaviors that I see in this game on a daily basis are disturbingly similar. Have you read the comments above, have you read the comments on surrender at 20 or any league forum.? Over emotional kids, often make posts talking about "toxic chat" . Most of the posts are exactly the same kind of Dindu noffin bullshit sjws throw around. Most of these people try to justify trolling by running at turrets or what ever by spewing dillusnal garbage that boils down to "they where mean to me in chat so I'm going to quit trying,plz riot help me deal with these mean hurtful words in chat. I'm such a victim riot plz" Then when you tell them you can use the mute all feature at any time they say "Oh poor me that doesn't work because the mean hurtful trolleys damaged my feelings to much already, plz riot I'm victim here help me" Its beyond pathetic. Everywhere I look these soft pathetic boys and beta men are posting rage comments demanding that riot games implement MORE censorship, or implement harsher and harsher kicking and banning features that they can abuse to fuel their victim complex. They are VERY much like SJW's in this regard, and riot coddles them WAY to much.

I completely agree about the pathetic wining of kids and adults crying over being insulted online. But your use of "sjw" "dindu nuffin" 'insert trendy YouTube term' is just cringey af. Say your point, look intelligent and be done with it. The ad hominem shit just makes you look like another idiot kid online using buzzwords. Don't attach yourself to these brainwashing groups... like SJW, MGTOW, don't make the black kids angry videos. Whether you agree with them or not, just remember the world is a complicated place. It's not as polarized. There's no such thing as public opinion, because every person is an individual, free thinking human. These terms that you use completely destroy that individuality and brainwash people into thinking in terms of left vs right. And that's exactly how we fuck ourselves into being controlled by a government. 2 choices, both lead to corruption and no one realizes it because no one sees deeper than "oh he's a SJW" or a "dindu nuffin pos", so disregard any points cuz I don't like that group. It kills me inside a little that so many people online talk like you. Our future is bleak people ... :( the sheep are only getting sheeper.

Just a crazy guy trying to enlighten the easily influenced youth in this scary society. Not trying to insult you.

I've been playing since Season 2, and back then "mid or feed" was still a thing.... I don't think League has really changed that much from some Golden Years. I mean the gameplay has changed, you know, new objectives, champion reworks, stuff like that....

Though even now I wouldn't say it's common to get something super toxic. I dunno.

(as an aside: few things are perfect and a little toxicity is normal / part of life, probably)
