Yasuo,Riven,Zed ,Yi

All known for their toxicity and flame throughout league

While I have certainly heard of the toxic yasuo/ (insert ionian bruiser with lots of dashing in here) I’ve never really encountered such types of players maybe one or two but not much

In fact my friends are yasuo and riven mains they are pretty chill

But what makes a champion, well toxic? What gave these champions such a bad reputation but in reality ANY champion can be toxic because u have to hate the wizard not the wand

Also I’ve seen more toxic kayn,irelia, and akali players more than yasuo and riven actually

It doesn't matter the champion. It doesn't take a champion to make a person toxic, it takes only the person.

From my own experience, although any champion can have a rude player who mains them, certain champions are more attractive to egotistical playstyles. Not just the first four that you listed.

Champions that have large capabilities to outplay their opponent due to their skillset are very attractive to players that don't want to rely on their teammates. Which would include Kayn, Irelia, and Alaki. I've often seen these champions carry games singlehandedly in the hands of skilled players.

On it's own this is perfectly fine, because sometimes you can't rely on your teammates and carrying yourself to victory through your efforts alone is very satisfying. But sometimes this fuels disdain for teammates since if they aren't needed for victory or they aren't there to help you, that might get someone into the mindset that teammates are just there to hold you back more often than not.
