I am going to try something ive never done before. Over the weeks i have played multiple games a day typically, and have realized that in every or every other game someone is toxic to the point i feel like they should be reported. So, i am going to do something i am going to call "Detoxing". For the next 3 days, i am going to /mute all at the very beginning of the game, and change nothing else. At the end of the 3 days, i will post if i feel differently about the game. If anyone else has solutions to dealing with toxicity, please let me know, its quite sad i am having to literally not talk to anybody at all just because 1 out of 9 people atleast tends to outweigh the benefits of the few -5% person of people who are actually fun in this game.

I do the /ignore all thing whenever I am doing a serious ladder climb.

It really does help filter all of the garbage that (Insert groups that must not be named here) often spew.

You probably see a lot of toxic behavior because you are playing multiple games a day. you are bound to meet bad people regularly if all you do is play this game.

my honest opinion is to just play the game for fun. I left the game for a year because i just hated seeing how everyone despised each other, minus like two friends. I came back after a year to see people and i realized not worrying about whether you win or lose so much helps a lot. i can laugh at the silly mistakes they make, and i can laugh at my own we all do dumb stuff sometimes better to laugh it off and get a positive experience from it. Helps not only you but everyone else around you. I feel ranked is probably the worst area for this and from someone who has played since season 1 i only did ranked for that first season and its because i realized everyone acts like their life is on the line for that ranked game. I clearly dont plan on becoming a pro so i simply dont play ranked, i dont care if it shows me as unranked (even though i did play ranked season 1) because, i really dont care what they think of me. Ranked is really where all this hate comes from, yelling at someone calling them bronze, silver, gold... its all just something they do to feel like they are better at you and not accept any kind of blame for losing a game, and albeit sometimes it may not be your fault, you just need to shrug it off and either only respond positively or ignore peoples comments. If you just play for fun this game is awesome, especially if you just laugh at the situations people get themselves into. The community just forgot at some point that we are playing the game for fun not to be better then this other guy, and not to be pro (although im sure some of you are playing to be pro). I hope to at some point find a large group of people that just play this game for fun, and can alleviate all that stress that everyone feels from feeling the need to win and not feed. Is it usually more fun to win? Yes, but i can have fun either way, hopefully the community can find a way for this to work at least in normals. although im sure the whole community wont change, it would at least be nice to have a large group of people or a guild or clan (whatever you want to call it) to just play with and enjoy the game for what it is.
