It's actually sad how much league has distorted my views of online communities.

Get a random friend request on any other game, first thought is "Sigh. What did I do to piss this guy off?" Get friend requests on fortnite after games. "Nope" Hearthstone. "Super nope" but they are kinda toxic too.

Im no saint and can certainly have my bad days with it, but majority of the problems league has falls on the players. If you don't care enough to stop flaming, acting like you are god's gift to league, you essentially want to see the game die. You do not make people want to stay.

The league community is nothing but a self entitled circlejerk of narcissists who all think they are 'god teir" players. They go on and on about how "Im so good, too bad I cant carry this trash team" and yet they will abandon thier teammates at the drop of a hat to go pick off a solo in top lane. Yeah who cares if everyone else dies in mid lane "look guys! I got ONE KILL, how awesome am I?""

And yet the moment you dont follow their specific gameplan, or heaven forbid you miss lasthitting a minion, you will get flamed into oblivion. I mean the latest trend is these "pro" players will ping a players buid as a form of Public humiliation. Like "look at this build, OMG SO BAD, Har har"

I have stopped treating this community with any form of respect. They clearly think they are too good for anyone else, so they dont need me to respect them. Everyone thinks they are "Too good for this team" and I dont cater to narcissists.

But if anyone tries to bring up toxicity like you stated, they will turn around with "well maybe u just sukk" or something similar.

This is why I don't join groups lol. Just because I play league, I'm lumped into a "community" and treated as if I do the terrible things that other INDIVIDUALS do. Idk what's worse, people who do those terrible things, or people who generalize everyone based on the video game they play lol.

Well anyone who brings any issues to light is immediately downvoted to oblivion, strawmanned and dismissed. all so the community has a whole can preserve its echo chamber. I have had many years to notice these observations (and I am pretty good at noticing patterns and such) but I keep getting told "Well I dont see it in platinum/challenger, so it must not exist and u just mad cuz u sukk" [zombie-brand-facepalm]
