Seen the new Fiora skin, thought to myself "Damn that thigh gap though" and decided I wanted to buy it. Went to play one game before buying it though, queue'd, got the role and champ I wanted - FOR ONCE - but a team mate of mine wanted my lane, I politely said no, he accepted what I said without raging, we got in game, him and his premade friends decided to start trolling, Karthus after about 5 minutes went to the Rift Herald and AFK'd there for about 10 minutes, ADC was just generally doing poorly, and our Jungle ganked once early game and suddenly decided to just start roaming all over the place. 18 minutes in, going 20-1, I had the only kill, irritated as all hell and just wanted out of that game.

That game and that game alone reminded me why I haven't bought a skin in this game in over a year, I know trolling players isn't League's fault or Riot's fault, it's just people acting like trolls because they've got a screen between them and the other players whose lives they're making hell. All in all, I decided the thigh gap wasn't worth it cause League more consistently causes me unneeded stress after work than it does enjoyment, and honestly, why would I choose to financially support a game that causes me more stress on a consistent basis than enjoyment?

Feel free to disagree with me, just my opinion and me generally venting my frustrations about League.

But dont worry, dynamic queue has lowered toxicity...

Welcome to League, where everyone is a selfish brat.

Welcome to my game to game life.

Having a good game? Too bad, here's a team that doesn't work together on objectives, only kills. DEFEAT

Doing well in lane and you are about to push the nexus to win? Too bad, here's 1-2 afk'ers. DEFEAT

Starting up a new match about to the leave the fountain and have an enjoyful experience? Too bad. Enemy laner chose Ekko/Yasuo/Illaoi/Jhin/Lucian(Other numerous very tiny or no weakness champions) DEFEAT

Just got into a game, in your lane, doing well, 1/0/0 maybe 2/0/0. Too bad because your bot lane fed 17/0 in the following 5-15minutes. DEFEAT

Got told to kill yourself? Replied back with Eat me? Get chat-banned, and unable to earn loot for a few months. UNINSTALLED

Cause you know, their new systems lowered toxicity, by creating more ways to be toxic.

This game is garbage, pure, unmonitored garbage. Smurfs are ruining the game for new players. Pre-mades ruined Ranked integrity, the only redeeming quality of this game right now is free skins and thats garbage, not even the RGMQ is fun. It's been tainted by overly powerful champions, and I thought maybe in URF it'd be even ground cause no mana, and cdr, and stuff? Nope. It still gets dominated by the same broken champions.

Honestly though. I've been experiencing this type of behavior more consistently over the last several months. It's incredibly toxic, ruins the fun of the game, and tilts me and the team from working together. I am not exaggerating when I say my team is flaming each other in more than 75% of my games. Why is everyone always so ticked off when they play?

And if I'm up front, I do not feel like the report system has a purpose to help this, and the big streamers poke fun at this. It doesn't seem like they think so either. This could maybe help this problem, but since it doesn't feel like it does, it gives false hope. Who wants to play a team game when your team flames each other?

that thigh gap has made Riot ramp up their manual bans towards toxic behavior.

that thigh gap is also bringing us closer to better punishment visibility as the new client is drawing near and punishment visibility is one thing they are currently working on.

overall, thigh gap is always worth, troll or not.

How'd you know they were premade? Also Fiora is the best champ you should main her

Ya I haven't played in a while but I'm not sure why.. just got sick of it. I think it's because I started a new account and the smurf hell really tired me out. Went back to main account but suddenly it just wasn't that fun anymore. It's a damn frustrating game with very little reward... cuz when I win games I sometimes feel like it's just random. Like well I lost a few so of course I finally got a decent team and we win. Like it's just become a dice roll on whether you will win or not and I don't feel like I'm getting any better anymore. Meh.

TL;DR: He doesnt buy RP because people are trolls.

It is Riot's fault, because they chose to let it slide over and over again.
