Toxic Players and Possibly Quitting League of Legends

Every game literally I get toxic players, you get talked down to because of your gameplay, you get criticized for playing a champion, and then people do even more to ruin the fun in league. I honestly have lost the fun in playing league of legends because of this, and no it's not letting other people get to me, you have to sit in a game where someone is trolling or being toxic for the least 20 minutes, and that's if they don't afk after they troll/are toxic. I've been playing since season 2 and I have to say it seems like Riot isn't doing anything about this and the community is taking a toll in my opinion because it's not being recognized enough. I feel like Riot is just milking the players for their money and not punishing people who need to be punished and it isn't stopping obviously because I can tell you literally every game I get a toxic person. And I don't even have to say anything for them to be toxic, it's ridiculous. If there's anyone out there experiencing the same as I am please comment, and if anyone out there is able to make me change my mind based on what they have to say with their experience it would be nice to hear from other players as I've just lost my will to play league since all it is is toxic people not being punished and when you don't punish people for consequences this will result in a game where toxic people can keep doing what they are doing since there is no punishment being dealt. I will admit that I was toxic on other accounts probably until I started this account I hardly say anything in game besides compliments and playing around with the other team in a friendly way, creating a positive environment. I learned that from being toxic it gets you no where and it doesn't help your self being as a person. But even when you aren't toxic it seems as if it can still get to you or me at least. Am I crazy or is anyone else feeling this way about league, hopefully this post gets some huge attention and changes the way league is for the better of the community. As my time with league it's been fun but I can't bear the amount of toxic people playing and not being punished any longer. If you've read until this far, congrats, and thanks for reading summoners.

I agree with this, however I feel the problem is much more acute in Teambuilder as opposed to Draft or Ranked mode. Teambuilder has become a cesspool for teenage delinquents with verbal diarrhea and no compassion. I feel like these people are also the ones without their own money aka jobs to pay for items such as skins. Therefore by punishing them for their behavior shouldn't cut to deep into riots profits if they quite the game.

Also, in this day and age does Riot have a moral obligation to moderate the player environment in a better way?

More food for thought, Teambuilder is coming to ranked.......bring on the cesspool!

Jump into an ARAM or two its worse. Since ARAM "is not a real game" it everyone forums to practice how big of an ass-hat they can really be and as long as you finish with well this "is not a real game" anyways its ok.

Don't play Ranked. I've played a total of 1 ranked game. Carried, got flamed, said Never again.

wall of text. Did not read.

Based off your title though i will say that the higher level/elo you become the less toxic people generally are. It never goes away entirely but it gets better.

Yea, I just quit today. Don't have time to spend my down time playing a game full of toxic people, just over all a bad experience. I can think of 100 better ways and at least 10 other games to spend my precious time on, so I uninstalled.
