Wow, I'm in awe at how toxic the players are. For years, I've been hearing about the infamous League of Legends toxicity. but damn, its beyond anything Ive experienced in ANY other community I've been a part of. Over a month ago, I've decided to give it try after watching the worlds trailer on YT, it grabbed my attention and I thought it would be a fun experience. With how many champions there are in the game, there is SO much to learn, just knowing what every ability does takes months. (if you play by the free rotation). It caught my attention on the first day, and I haven't missed a day where I was playing lol without getting flamed. It boggles my mind, why people take the game so seriously in casual games. Listen, I kinda understand if people rage in RANKED, elo is at stake, obviously. But if I'm getting flamed in casual draft games, where I'm trying to learn how to play a new champ, it's bizarre, like where else am I supposed to learn without getting picked up on? Or is getting trash talked part of getting into the game? I'm sure a lot don't mind, it's their environment, but I don't want to be a part of it. Game is fun, the players however, need therapy.

it is not the players that make the game toxic. it is the game that does it to the players. this is one of the only games where if one of your teammates does poorly he makes the enemies stronger. every kill you give them makes the game harder for your team.

it is only natural that this would make them upset. the game is kind of designed in a way that allows someones bad game to destroy the game for everyone.

in other games it is not like that. when i play CoD if my teammate is 0-10 i dont really care because it doesnt directly affect me. if the rules were like LoL, the enemies would get more hps and their bullets would do more damage every time they killed him. also i would not be allowed to leave the game for 20 minutes when he has made them so strong that i can't even fight them anymore.

Trash talking definetly part of the game. Excessive chat is the bane of many games.

Int or player playing poorly is also a thing that is hard to avoid or define.

Overall, silent games are better games in my experience.

f you want to PRACTICE there is PRACTICE mode in this game. I do agree that your poor play makes life harder for everyone else. Its not like you can join others whom just want to practice. They like you have to practice , but are given that opportunity since you spiraled your lane out of control would be my thought.
