Why is the playerbase like this....(TLDR at bottom)

z14GaKI7TO··1 votes·746 views

EDIT: No, I'm not just making this post to cry over my last few games. I'm making this post to attempt to get feedback and common opinions or even uncommon opinions compared to my own. I** want** League to be a fun game to play and I don't think it should have such an infuriating community. I've never met any toxic person who's actually afraid of being punished because really, too many people get away with it.

I used to play a ton of League because I mean, I didn't really have any idea on what else to play and League was/is a fairly fun game. I barely ever play now. Since I think March 5th I have 20 games, when I used to play at least a few a day. I don't know if it's the game or just the community but I'm heavily leaning towards the latter.

I just played my first game in a few days, picked Lucian ADC and honestly didn't do too well. I was like 4/1/2 in laning phase (later on according to my jungler I apparently fed my lane because I ended like 6/10) Then there was our top laner just being a sarcastic ass all game THEN we have a Trick2G fanboy on the other team playing Volibear and screaming in all chat every time he literally did anything. THEN their mid laner AND top laner killed me bot lane game and both started emote spam laughing on my body. These are honestly just a few of the things that happened that are frustrating..

Why is this game so toxic... Like for the past week or two I've been playing (mostly) GW2 and not only is it a pretty decent game but most of the players are so fucking nice. If you type in map chat and ask a question instead of sarcasm people just either won't answer if they don't know but almost every time you WILL get an answer that's correct/helpful or you'll get "sorry, not sure". When you revive someone at a world boss or just randomly around the world they'll almost always say thank you (even though they don't have to) and even if you're new to a guild and don't participate much when you DO have a question or there's an event you want to know about you'll get answers (no matter how annoying/noobie the questions are) I've been playing that game for the past 2 weeks instead of League and haven't even gotten the slightest bit frustrated. I even played a bit of CoD and nothing made me mad whatsoever. I come back to League for ONE game and I have people being disrespectful and I'm somehow tilted after 30 minutes compared to the others I've spent perfectly happy in other games.

I'm getting very near my tipping point with this game honestly and I'm sure a lot of other people are too. Something needs to honestly be changed about this community, and no I don't mean this bullshit report system that clearly isn't THAT effective if theres still commonly 3+ players in a game that are just assholes. Maybe the game shouldn't be free to play anymore or you should have to pay like $10 each time you make a new account or just something to make it slightly harder for people to just come on and be a douchebag. Make it much easier to get wait times or chat restrictions, just something isn't right about this game seeing as how much toxicity there is..

TL:DR League has to have the most toxic community of any other game Find way to remove such easy access for people to just not care about their attitude and say what they want Quicker action/Less forgiving punishments.

Side note: While it SHOULD be much easier to get a chat restriction/wait time, I don't think perm bans/ 2 week bans should be incredibly easy to get. Those should be somewhat forgiving.

It's not a problem with League itself, just some of the people who enjoy this sort of competitive game. Look at any other competitive game and you will see just as poor behavior.

I mean honestly, I just played a game with a Yi who blew up on our team. He clearly didn't know how to play Yi, and at first seemed to welcome our advice, but once he noticed the advice came from a premade he decided he was better than us and didn't need help carrying his bad team.

He then went on to dive repeatedly and die every time, getting kills but offering our somewhat low pushing power team no help with taking towers.

Below diamond isn't even remotely competitive though :/ Like I used to play high ranked GB for CoD and the worst behavior anyone had was just leaving the game and forfeiting. Even in pub matches you'd only hear occasional complaints. Idk maan.

Yeah you're right man, just leaving the game and forfeiting. Let's act like ddosing was not a huge thing on gb ESPECIALLY in the tournaments. Can't forget fake proof and disputing for no reason either.

My team specifically had all our games recording so DDoSing was super easy to provide evidence for especially if the team had previous reports of it. There were Disputes but once again, games were recorded. We didn't need to worry about much of that shit. We got our money and we were on our way :)

I used to be on the competitive sniping boards pretty often too, never recorded my games and never really had an issue with disputes. The higher up you go on ladders the less bullshit there seems to be because all the teams doing dumb shit were left in lower brackets.

Ok, it's super easy to deal with toxicity by muting people as soon as you see it and reporting them after the game :).

Literally the same exact thing applies to League of Legends. Bronze/Silver is by far the most toxic.

Haven't been playing league recently so haven't been checking boards.

First of all, having to mute 2 or 3/4 of your teammates is not healthy at all. Secondly, the report feature reallllllly doesn't do fuck all TBH.

3rd, gold and plat are pretty fucking toxic. I haven't played with many diamond+ players so I can't speak for those divisions. I'm also pretty sure the only reason challenger isn't toxic is because odds are every game is being live streamed by at least one person.

you are wrong. LoL is worse than any other game i have seen.

in what other game can your teammate's mistakes make your enemies stronger? in what other game when it is going badly are you trapped in a terrible experience for 30+ minutes and if you leave you will be punished?

in any competitive game there will be toxicity, but the way league of legends is set up makes it a lot worse.

How does you not knowing of a worse game make me wrong?

That doesn't directly apply to what I was asking.

Just my opinion.

This game's nature frustrates players easier than others because players tend to suffer due of things they aren't "responsible" for. If their teammate's losing, they'll suffer from fed opponents and they'll try to pin down the source of blame, not too polite at it. If their teammate's winning, they get jealous and express frustration by blaming the teammate for not making their lives easier and getting them fed as well.
