Here we go again.
Okay, this is going to be a sort of rant.
So ever since Season 6 came out, I've been playing less and giving League a bigger gap in the times I play. What doesn't change is the playerbase's behavior. Oh man, it doesn't look real good at all.
Some people say that the League community is one of the worst. I'd say that it is, but I don't play a plethora of games to compare it to many others. One thing is for sure that I have less stress when I am not playing League, but I still play it here and there for enjoyment.
I have just recently played a game where I went Zed mid and there.. this Vayne at bot, diving towers and hanging between Tier 1 and Tier 2 turrets, getting kills and dying for over 10-15 minutes. Whenever the Katarina I am up against goes bot because they are overextended, "Report Zed, so noob" and the sort. I have to admit that I have retaliated with a more of a calm tone, stating facts about things where she said that I have low cs at that time. Thing is, she had similar cs to me. Laughable. She was probably more than 5 deaths in and I was 1, another fact.
Then I proceeded to mute her. Oh thank Rito for making such a tool.
When I muted that Vayne, it felt so much better without seeing her abusive and nonintellectual chat messages. When I thought about it, I used to mute everyone almost every single game because I didn't want to deal with their nonsense, hence how bad the reputation for the community stands. When I used to do that, I would give it a chance and leave them unmuted. Some were positive, some were negative.
I think I should start muting everybody again. Reading other players' negative messages will indeed falter my gameplay in different ways, not to mention that it can distract me when people small talk on chat. I either do good or do bad and that should be affected by me and only me. It might help some, it might not to some.
Anyways, thanks for reading my rant. Just had to get this out of my chest and mind because I have to sleep but I can't. Finals are next week.
I cri.
