Can We Stop the Toxicity

MetaGeek·10/16/2018, 1:08:16 AM·1 votes·3,090 views

Ok so I am getting tired of people in game saying things like You suck, stop playing this game, kill yourself, etc etc.

Here's a freaking newsflash, telling someone they suck over and over does NOT help or make them a better player it just causes frustration, arguments and annoyance

Can we please, if someone is bad, tell them what they can do to improve, give CONSTRUCTIVE feedback cause just going "you suck, stop playing, your trash" "I fuking hate you" "why do you even play" is just being a jerk ass

NOT EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME SKILL LEVEL,

everyone has to start somewhere and not everyone has a perfect game every time, so can we stop giving people crap for playing poorly and actually try to help or let it go, not be a huge jerk, please, yes, no, this probably won't change much but maybe someone will read this and reflect on their behavior, maybe

Main point if poor play bothers you that much do something to help the person not belittle them and make it a better game for us all

I personally feel people should stop the sensitivity.

I've been into games where i even "try" and give criticism but the other player's mentality is too fragile,and states that they've muted me. I litteraly can't say a single thing if a player is feeding because they take it as offense.No one is willing to take criticism,and that may be a problem for communication.

I believe if the players improved their mentality,and learned to take ciritism,then toxicity wouldn't be that bad

The toxicity will never stop in this game. Anonymity gives people the freedom to do whatever they feel like. For those below who have said to grow a thicker skin I agree to an extent. However telling someone to self harm isn't someone needing to have a "thicker skin" issue. That needs to be an instant permanent ban (as much as that actually does anything). There is NEVER a reason for someone to encourage someone to commit suicide. One of the issues that I see in the toxicity of LoL is that fact that a ban really doesn't mean anything unless you're a well known streamer. If you get a perma ban you can be back and playing within 15 minutes by just making a new account. There is nothing to prevent people from having multiple accounts. There are people out there who have accounts just to troll people and make the game unplayable for people. When that account gets banned it doesn't mean anything.

Agreed. People only care about the game, not about other people. Many people are saying "Stop overreacting and just mute them", but really it truly upsets me. I can't just let them scold people. Guys,** ITS JUST A GAME**. Realise that, and stop making people feel bad.

When someone is feeding, tell them to play safe or help them. Not everyone is as good.

What if... when someone is telling you you suck, it is to make the game frustrating and annoying in hopes that you'll quit, because they have absolutely no vested interest in your development and would rather just not get you in future games? Kinda how life goes, all you can do... is worry bout you, and maybe get some thicker skin.

Can we stop the oversensitive reactions? you always can mute them after the first insult, why do you keep listening to them? is it to arguee with them? then isnt that hypocritical?...
