This isn't fun.

I just recently began playing this game, and I love the mechanics of it. The laning phase, the skirmishes, the eccentric teamfights, all of it. The game polished and feels good. But, this is a game that I've found out to be rooted in toxicity. This game is purely competitive, and toxicity and anger is an expected doom of competitive gaming. I try to play this game for fun, but when I do something wrong I am berated by my teammates, and this brings on a a serious depression in me. I used to be bullied all of my childhood, and stuff like this only brings back painful memories. Soon I grew accustomed to making other players feel bad, I would call someone "bad" or question their judgements just because it didn't fit my expectations. This game is a marvel on it's own, but the community makes it a cancer, and for some reason I keep wanting to come back to emotionally disparage myself. This isn't fun.

Only one advise,stop caring,toxicity exists on all aspects and all ranks of this game,ur doing smth that like half of LoL players dont do anymore..playing for fun.If u see something that u dont like in chat,mute.U will NEVER,i repeat NEVER see anything usefull in chat,never.Dont mute pings,they can be usefull some times,but chat..just type /mute playername or click on icon in stats menu if some1 being annoying,other opinnions doesnt matter at all,do what u want,play how u want to play,take champs and builds that u want,and with time u will get used to it,but whats more important u will become better player with more healthy non toxic attitude.Its teamgame only in 5man of friends.In soloQ u have to care only about urself,U have to have fun,U have to learn how to be better at this game,U have to do what u want to,and U owe nothing to random people that u probably wont see anymore after game ends and U should not care about meaningless moaning of fools that too weak to admit their mistakes or those who care about rank way too much,its just a game,meant to bring good feelings and memories.Dont let others ruin it. The less u care about other players and wins/loses and the more u care about having a good time and actually enjoying the process of game the better all goes.Keep playing for fun,good emotions and memories.

There are some things you can do to mitigate the abuse.

Start of game, you can /muteall and not worry

I personally just keep tabs on the bad players, tell them once in game to stop, then i mute, report, and follow their account a bit. A decent amount of them end up going dark after a bit, so works for me.

A competitive game is competitive... Imagine that. Mute people - problem solved!
