why are league players so toxic?

this is just a rant i guess but, i was playing my 2nd ranked game ever and i dont play this game much so i guess ranked is only for people who eat sleep and breathe this game. i like to play this game for fun and when i play ranked that fun is taken away by toxic players. i died once and had a bad game wasnt csing properly and then they all got tilted and reported me, i wasnt inting or feeding i dont really have any gamesense for this game bc once again i dont eat sleep or breathe it like everyone else i seem to see play ranked for this game i wonder is it worth it learning the game if people are just gonna be assholes for not doing well? or even getting better for the fact that it gets worse as you climb rankings

because solo carry has been effectively removed for anyone who isn't smurfing these days, and solothrowing has been made more and more powerful

also because people realize that saying "Bro you're trash" gets them banned as much as saying "Kys you I will find and murder your children and then " so they just don't have any tact. zero semblance of community is encouraged and frankly casual/for fun play has been scoffed at by the devs, we get maybe two RGMs a year at most these days and frankly they only show up as a "Sorry for fucking up with clash again...again" or "here, don't you want to buy URF tickets?" "We heard you like URF the way it originally was, let us add a random bunch of unwanted mechanics and completely ruin the mode"

You are lv34 (a couple weeks at the very most, for most players, and utterly new) and have not stabilized your MMR, you are still playing with new players and bad players. The former either shape up or get banned, and the latter can be escaped with a little work.

Playing ranked is not something you should do until you are more confident in your abilities.

Looking at your match history, you seem to often do well, but when you get off to a bad start you feed like a firehose. Working on how to deal with a bad lane and play from behind instead of gleefully running it down to 0/15 is a good plan.

Hey I've also played only two ranked games! I noticed it helps if you let people know right from the champ select that you're new to ranked. Both games people have been... not awful. Not great, for sure, but not flaming me or flipping out. I play support, and my ADC the first game was pretty annoyed at my misplays, but it never got much worse than spam pinging and telling me what to do. Second game we lost, but it was everyone doing poorly and so nobody got upset with me.

bro u must understand that people who tilt on league arent "no lifes" and horrible people. league is just an inherently toxic game because u are literally paired up with randoms in a team of 5, and if some guy decides to feed, you feel so helpless because even tho u stomp lane ur bot lane is 0/14 and enemy team already has dragon soul. the best of us have been corrupted by this game and is completely natural to be angry since matchmaking is broken, promos are the most stupid idea ever, meta is broken, placements are unbalanced, everything is horrible

You dont have to eat sleep or breathe this game in order to climb. in s5 i managed to get to diamond while i was just playing casually after work ^^. and yes in low elo people are more toxic, they think they are the gods of the game and they are held down to low elo because of their team :X its just sad to see but at the same time thats the truth. If you really want a casual experiece just play normal games with friends :)
