Has anyone else had especially toxic players in the new team builder, or is it just me?

See title --

I've been called a "Fill in the blank" just about every game now for making helpful, kind requests. Such as just now with:

"Hey Lucian, you have smite to let you know!"

"I haven't changed my summoner spells since last night, you fucking autist"

Umm? Can you guys do anything about this? Will this settle out? I'd love to see an additional level of match making taking into consideration number of reports -- toxics play with toxics and nice players with nice players.

toxics play with toxics and nice players with nice players.

I think Lyte stated somewhere before that Riot tries to avoid an isolationist matchmaking queue, ergo, no prisoner's island for toxic players, plus, I reckon it would other another layer of complexity to the matchmaking system that I'm not sure would be very welcome.

2/3 games I've played in the new draft pick had a lot of toxic players.

There is a difference between language meant to abuse another player, and language that is generally offensive in nature. The best way to deal with this is to first exercise your right to mute anyone in the game. Expect all sorts when you queue to play with any sort.

No more, no less than usual.

I have noticed that there is next to no talking at all in my games and it's statistically sound compared to before the patch. Some of though, I have attributed to me (pretty much always solo), being matched up with players that are prearranged. I've also noticed a difference in the way the other players play also, they're synced in a wonky way that suggests to me they're coordinating among themselves and it can sort of throw off my game compared to what patterns I'm used to.

Specifically in regard to what you're experiencing, if anything I've experienced a much lower toxicity. But I'm not "down" on most of what people consider toxic, I have thick skin, and it is the internet after all.

One thing for sure is that if you have expectations of other people, especially in groups of strangers and more so for anonymous ones you will be perpetually disappointed, and it really doesn't matter if it's League or life.
