I Deleted LOL Because of the Community
Have been playing for about 3 years, love the game and the competition. I recently deleted the game entirely though because the community is absolutely terrible.
It's unfortunate that to play and have fun, I need to rely on 4 random strangers to be human and play the game. Almost, every single game something happens that ruins the experience and wastes a bunch of time for a lot of people.
Just a few examples:
- Playing as support, at 2 min in my ADC left for 8 minutes because "I have to go make some rice, I'll be back later." Comes back weak and feeds.
- Non-stop toxic banter about "best Yas NA" "you suck pussy, DC and refund that skin" "You're a %%%got fuck" "suck my dick" and so on forever, not even directed at me or on my team per say. -Playing a ranked game its close and at 20 min, the duo bot lane decides to just walk around the jungle taunting and attacking nothing. They won't FF of course because they are having fun trolling people in ranked, next 30 minutes of everyone's day wasted. -Intentional feeders, rage quitters, AFK, and trolls all the time ranked or otherwise, on my team or otherwise. -Auto lock in blind has just gotten ridiculous, then the fighting starts in the lobby and continues all game.
These are just a few things that stick out from this week alone. I wish there was an adult version of the game where you could guarantee kinder people that are serious at least about not wasting the next 45 minutes of everyone's day, win or lose.
Reports don't do anything, though I try every time. I have been called some of the worst homophobic and hate speech in LOL and maybe once a report has mattered in three years.
Until you get an adult filter or actually start getting rid of the riff raff it's just not fun anymore.
