I've been playing this game for 9 years now and toxicity (chat or not) is ever-present.

I just got ax'd myself for 9 games, because, after playing so much in the past 1 month, I've started going crazy. As per tracking:

93% of the players flame and I mean, actual flame, like "f*** you" or in the same league. If they don't flame, although inconclusive, they either go mental boom a lot of times or straight up give up and troll.

While I don't personally care, I've worked to get this account's MMR restored and I've made it with a huge win-rate....but I lost like 7 promos. I literally only lost games in promos because of trolls. One time, there was a Singed who decided to run it down and went 0-20 and it got to me and I started complaining every game using the in-game chat.

What's going on with this game? I never talk unless someone is talking or is doing something ludacrious but it seems the community has completely, totally turned into a hellhole and I myself am becoming the very people I despise.

Extreme ELO problems, i see a flamer in maybe one of 20-30 games.

I cant hazard a guess since you dont show a ranked badge, but it sounds like a case of climbing to get away from it. If you are playing soloq, consider flex. It is a lot chiller and has less raging tryhard brats, due to being a "casual troll queue". Which is comical because the players typically try harder and are more serious.

Gotta /mute all before every match.

People communicate useful information more with pings than chat anyway. Who has time to type?
