basically saying, SAVE YOUR LIFE FROM PLAYING THIS GAME. IT IS A WASTE OF LIFE. YOU DONT HAVE FUN 99% OF THE TIME. YOU WILL FLAME 99% OF THE TIME. HOW IS THAT FUN.

I feel that a lot of the toxicity stems from the extremely frustrating, forced 50% win rate matchmaking. In what I assume to be a normal ranked experience (coming from Halo 3) when I won I would be placed against stronger opponents with stronger allies as well. If I win here I am promptly stabbed in the back facing stronger teams with weaker allies to balance the average mmr of the match. In addition to this, a lot of games are predetermined for you without you being able to do anything. If there is a 50/50 chance that the two other lanes will win/lose there is a 25% chance of both losing or both winning with a 50% chance of 1 win 1 loss. That is why no one (other than smurfs) have higher than a 75% rate or bronze with lower than 25% win rate. When you know the outcome of the game has been predetermined a lot of people simply give up and take their frustration out on the shit hand that has been dealt to them. Obviously there are a lot of other things that contribute to this facade of a "ranked experience". The game is always in a constant state of champion/itemization/map imbalance and they're clearly not interested in ever changing that with patch after patch of small incremental changes for years. When your playing something that is supposed to be "competitive" and your opponent gets to counter pick you is always quite satisfying.

I feel that a true esport would be something like Halo 3 mlg was. With everyone on equal footing with equal starts, equal weapons, and symmetrical maps etc., the determining factor of the match was skill. I don't think league ever will or could achieve this.

Dong Huap on youtube explains this pretty well in his "How to deal with Tilt. Why we get such bad team mates." video.

this game is just fucking trash, uninstall as soon as possible if you dont want cancer or irreversible braindamage. Nothing good in this game, rito makes millions money but still doesnt change the game in any good way and makes shitty skins so they can milk their braindead playersJanna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

League is toxic because its competetive, super long games that make you exhausted and mix it up with being a team game , if your win conditon is related to your teams performance there is no way to avoid arguments that get escalated very quickly. You also see big amounts of toxicity in ranked bascially because loosing ( after 40 minutes ) takes smth from you and its bascially worse than loosing 40 minutes of your time. you rarely see toxic behaviour in winning games and hard stomps so you can guess thats the reason.

The game is tilting after 3-4 lose in a row and after that you start to flame. Sadly you cant avoid that
