The real reason the game is so TOXIC

Because of the keyboard barrier. If any of you little %%%%s would pull any of the shit you do in game in real life it would be the last time. Even something as simple as making people show their face would drastically change the game. Now proceed to bitch and moan telling me how I'm wrong and I'm an armchair warrior from the safety of the your own little safe space chair.

If you pull the attitude you have in this thread in real life, it's likely to land with a punch in the face. Is that right? Probably not. Is it legal? Who knows, depends on if the police decide to press charges.

No, making people show their face will never happen. You're very correct that the anonymity of being behind a screen is what makes attitudes like yours more prevalent. But Riot is not going to require people to compromise their privacy just because people like you can't control yourself.

What's wrong with that? People interact with each other differently between irl and online.

I mean just look at your post. You used the word "%%%%s" to describe us. You wouldn't call a random person irl that would you? But doesn't it feel good? To know you can express yourself freely online when you can't do it irl.

^ The reason this game is so toxic...

Actually i think the fact that it's toxic across all cultures tells me that the toxicity is a somewhat natural occurance, and that riots attempts to curb it have backfired in some ways which stops people from diffusing the situation with little mockeries against those who are HARD RAGING (Like you)

Seriously though... I think it has more to do with the nature of people trying to outcompete eachother and talking shit then anyone actually being bad people, but i think a vocal minority on each side of the debate ruin it for everyone else

I like it when i get shittalked, it's kinda fun, if i can shittalk back. Like I want to show my jungle that my dick is bigger but these days i can't say nothing, it's nothing personal it's just like... I been playing online competative games since the late 90's... it was always kinda toxic, but the community understood. It's really only after like 2014 that i saw big initiatives to 'end toxicity' as if it's even attainable.

Call me an old man but I think the old way was better. Like we could shittalk, we could mute people who shittalked too much, and we knew where the line was. The line was don't get serious or you'll get hard trolled.

Now if someone goes on a rant about how bad you suck for ten pages, and then convinced 9 people to report you for losing lane or something, you get banned for saying anything back because this is considered to be contributing to the toxicity but you can get false flagged by 9 reports too and supposedly be banned for that, so this puts you in a place where you feel stuck between a rock and a hard place

these days I only say intentionally shitty knock knock jokes in allchat, I don't go near my team because i'm afraid that if i miss a skillshot they're gonna start flaming relentlessly and I can't have the fun of taking a go back at them.

Like the arguments for the vast majority of us were nothing more than banter. Telling people they're trash, telling the guy saying you're on a noskill champ that he's mad cuz bad is bannable now. Like seriously, I get that as a company you might not want hate speech, illegal content',or even threats of violence, but telling someone they suck in response to them losing lane against you is important. because people know that you're not serious... and if they don't they're fucking morons who.. well I can't go on because i like this account... but yeah

This is actually true, but you are getting downvoted because you sound like an armchair warrior.

Bruh news flash people can loos themselfs into a game. Forgetting its just a game. Do you really think people would say the things they say in game ? Lets say you work on something in real life and you screw up what can happen. Does your boss come to you call you a noob or a %%%%%% or kid ? I dont think so.
