The game. is. the. cause.
Between it freezing and unbalanced horsesh*t. It generates rage. Why? Because people who want to play this game in a fun and fair matter have to deal with unbalanced champions and other software errors.
anyway........
Geauxx3 votesIncorrect. Immaturity causes toxicity.
Shattered Mind1 votesAhh the immaturity argument. In a sense I might agree with you but at the same time I don't. Immaturity is a social construct that is placed on people based off someone elses views. Immaturity is different for different people and groups.
TrulyBland2 votesNot really. Children objectively feel, react and decide differently from adults. Even without cultural influences an adult should be better able to control themselves and react calmly and logically to bad situations.
Geauxx1 votesI think you made a typo xD
TrulyBland1 votesI think you made a typo xD
Whoops. Yeah, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to compare children and adults to adults I guess. Fixed it.
Geauxx2 votesThen, you should give your definition of immature.
Like for me i see immaturity as " When you get upset from something that happens in league, you take it out on people in league, or if someone down-talks me i respond back to them in an equal or more negative behavior"
I could go more indepth with different example with more reasoning, but i want to hear your side now, as i want more of an understanding.
This Is Your Dad2 votesI think there is also the fact that people don't know if other people are trolling or just having a bad game because they can't see them irl so they assume it's trolling.
Shattered Mind1 votesYes I am agree. I try to assume people are just having a bad game but you can sit there and watch do something that so obvious a thing not to do, that there is no way its a bad game.
MUSHROOM MIDGET1 votesyou are right the game is the creator of most of the toxicity.
snowballing, autofill, and matchmaking all contribute to making an extremely toxic game but the biggest of all without a doubt is leaverbuster. in this game no matter how frustrated you are, no matter how bad the game is going for you, no matter how many trolls or afks are on your team, you cant leave.
nothing is more toxic than that. any other game if you are having a bad time you turn it off and instantly start to feel better. not this one.
Shattered Mind1 votesI wouldn't say auto fill myself. IMO it is good to be familiar with all roles. I noticed once I learned all roles to an extent I started climbing.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesIts not the unbalance that causes it, but the fact that you are punished for teammates fucking up.
Shattered Mind1 votesWhen I mentioned unbalanced I am talking about the champions. I believe there is truth that this cause some fraction of rage. For example, you go like 4 patches or whatever playing a a certain groups of champions. Than all of a sudden those champions are completely useless, not just in that match but in the game completely.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesThat doesn't really have much to do with toxicity though. Toxicity is almost always directed at players. Nobody would consider calling a champion unbalanced "toxic", but saying anything to the 0/15 midlaner who is wasting your time and causing you to lose LP would be.
ChuShoe1 votescan't wait to have to take a 5 month break from league once the new masteries come out. Don't entirely agree with this thread, but irritating champions DO generate toxicity.
SEKAI1 votesBut toxic players are by no means restricted to League, or similar games with similar premises.
So the cause, wherever and whatever it is, isn't League itself, at least it's definitely not the sole or majority contributor to the problem. League is more like the catalyst to the problem, than being the problem.
EvilDustMan1 votesHilarious, the toxic posters here, Big Piece and Mushroom Midget, are correct, they just put it in a poor whiny voice.
League is a tense game. You have to stay for up to 60 minutes. You have to rely on your team, who are not always the best, and you can't leave. You can be countered in lane, you can meet a one trick Riven main. One of your teammates can be having a bad day. And if your internet goes out, you get a punishment, which while understandable can be annoying.
All these things make League a rough game. And the reason why it is so important to have toxicity as low as possible.
Always take a break after a couple bad games of League.
Blutseuche1 votesNah man. Games where you interact with other people in a casually-competetive way are the medium.
Its clearly the people, not the game.
