I've been playing all day, friday off. Quality games. No toxicity.
Come around 4PM, suddenly hypertoxicity. Players going 0/8 everywhere, and racist chat on both sides.
Sigh. I don't like feeling like I can't actually play the game during certain times of the day.
Risen2920 votesIt's like a switch was fiipped. I had great games all day, then bam, school lets out and my games are peppered with people who don't understand the basics of how to play the game or spam chat with verbal abuse.
First game, someone on enemy team gets tilted and leaves. Second game, the soraka goes 0/8 and flames racist stuff all game, her bot lane partner feeds about as bad, and then someone on the other team joins in with them. Third game, completely idiotic teammates like afk farming volibear jungles that went 0/3/0 by end of game. Not even around for assists.
I basically am forced to just walk away from the game and come back later tonight when they have gone to bed. I've noticed player quality goes up and flames go down around maybe 9PM.

you realize that you're going to be playing with people from across the entire region not people who are in your immediate area right?
With differing time zones as well as difference school schedules based upon state/county/city when kids are getting out of school and going to bed is an enormous time window.
Do you watch the weather across the country and avoid playing when schools have snow days?
Classic anecdotal evidence that really has no actual impact on your games unless you were avoiding times from 1pm est to 12am est then you'd miss all those pesky school children.
But hey at that time of night... are drunk people any better?
Sorry you had some bad luck though that shit always sucks.
Spacesuit Spiff2 votesI mean the regions are all within a few timezones of each other. So there's a point in the day where the phase shifts for 20% of the server, then an hour later it's 40%, and so on. Still extremely noticeable
Supreme Senpai6912 votesKids are getting out of school with their entitled attitude Young adults are getting off of work pissed off at having to deal with stupidity all day and taking it out on random strangers, being the very thing they hate Older people are just crotchety
Best to play when the kids are in school, the adults are at work, and only the people with no responsibilities are on. They're usually the most chill. For obvious reasons.
Kei1438 votesThat's pretty typical.
You should see it during the seasonal holidays.
ModJango Mage3 votesI know exactly what are u talking about. Its actually kinda ridiculos. I always stop playing ranked after like 2 or 3 PM, beacuse everyone who just got home from thier jobs/school starts to play ranked about then, and every game beacomes a toxicfest.
Quiet Dude3 votesIt’s always been like this. Kids and angsty teens play frequently at night.

I've upgraded to an angsty adult, but I agree there is a whole 'nother level to the toxicity that spawns after 10pm EST. It's preeeeeeeeeeetty awful
Quiet Dude2 votesWas playing a game last night, and my duo queue partner banned Kai'sa but our jungle wanted to play her. He never declared her. I never saw such a childish fit in league in my lifetime. Dude ended up picking Zoe jungle and fed the enemy team all game.
EvilDustMan3 votesPretty sure schools had this week off, so, it would have been people getting off work.
Risen293 votesPretty sure schools had this week off, so, it would have been people getting off work.
No, schools in this area did not have the week off. When exactly spring break happens seems to vary.
The Nidja3 votesA bit of confirmation bias imo. There are timezones and you dont play with people who are near you anymore than with any other NA Player.
EvilDustMan1 votesNo, schools in this area did not have the week off. When exactly spring break happens seems to vary.
I'll humor you.
What time zone are you in?
JustMonika132 votesDon't most of the grade school kiddies have the week off thanks to Holy Week?
Unless we're talking about some college students that get their break earlier/later.
YerroFever2 votesI've noticed that too but I didn't want to generalize since it's just my personal experience and it may not be representative... but my games get more toxic when students are home from school or during holidays.
sphinxthelion72 votesyup. They need to make this game a paid subscription to stop the kiddos from playing.
Bob the Toastr2 votesGotta love the 12 year olds.
Arammus2 voteshm the differences between na and euw boards are interesting. on the euw boards the majority agrees that even during holidays, the game isnt any more toxic.
fatherdarius3 votesMaybe there's a higher percentage of youth in NA who are total prats?
:D
Arammus11 votesor euw is just so toxic that the kids cant make it worse
AmazoX1 votesor euw is just so toxic that the kids cant make it worse
EUW is way better than NA's insane toxicity.
Arammus6 votesall i know is we all can agree... EUNE worst server.
HonestJohnTheCon1 votes...Have you seen Korea?
NA is waaaaay low on the toxicity chart compared to them.
VaizBenji2 votesGames just turning into a big pile of aids honestly
EmpressOfBeauty2 votesOn behalf of us still in school, not all of us are toxic...please don't single all of us out as a group, I have seen "adults" do the same thing. Anyone can be toxic at any time, regardless of age range.
Love Alayna ♡
exitforever1 votesbro fr tho, i have had friday off, won a few games, then just played one and got called racial slurs and shit lmao
CasterGilgamesh1 voteswells its because children get home from school this is a free to play game that is very popular among many people including children
Stupafly1 votesLOL what i find is the toxic people sit on all day. then when people with stuff going on in their life(school/work) hops on league they get flamed by the lifers
edit: the 'chill' people who are on all day are only chill because they play with people that have an equal dedication to the game. When people get on after work and use the game as a way to unwind they get flamed at because they are not try harding like it is their job.
HonestJohnTheCon1 votes"I was hoping to have a day of toxicity-free games, and I would've gotten away with it if not for you meddling kids!"
The Lightning1 votessurely the toxicity goes down when you get to a higher ranked level? i wouldnt know, i've been bronze since the bronze ages
Tormentula1 votesi notice in plat/diamond, I have a better chance at winning if I play ranked in the morning or early afternoon.
At night time it's better for me to just play norms with friends because I'm guarateed to lose more LP then I'll gain at night
Spacesuit Spiff1 votesYup. Always been like this. Gain tons of LP before 4:00, then either stop for the day or lose most of it because the game stops making sense.
BiochemicalZombi1 votesI see your point, but i feel like you guys are making this up because it was good friday and schools had the whole day off.......
HalcyonDweller1 votesI'm with you OP, it would be really interesting to see data regarding the volume and % of toxicity in the game at different times of day, and I bet it will be different on different countries' servers too. Might be very interesting to see what patterns emerge.
Ryoth1 votesNA has an always be a toxic wasteland of 14 year old kids in bronze/silver that think they are the next faker. honestly tired of seeing this in games it blows my mind.
