After this past week I've come to the conclusion

That Riot has made a huge mistake letting the toxic players back into the community. Almost all of my games have dropped in quality by 99.9%. It's extremely off-putting. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if I'm just super unlucky lately, but I haven't been in a single game this week that I wasn't the target of hate speech, harassment for my lack of skill, or just straight up disrespectful insults.

as a side effect I think I'm going to take a break from playing league. I'll be back later, but right now I'm just not in the mood. It's irritating to have to write up a report after every match and screenshots are inconvenient to try and take while playing.
