Ok so I have been playing ranked and I get that everyone wants to win, but people have to shut up! I love the community here and how helpful people can be, but if you are matched with me in a game you are almost certainly a noob just like me. You don't know my build and why I use it and since we are in the middle of a game I don't have time to debate you about it. I have to trust that you can use the champ you chose effectively in the role you were given and you should extend me that same courtesy.

For example I played a game as Blitz, and when I got to the lane after leashing, the jg asked if I knew how to play blitz bc I wasnt standing in the right place to start. He bitched at me the whole game even tho I started 2/3/10 and had just picked up that 3rd death when the JG who had at this point died 12 times says this wouldn't have happened if I knew how to play Blitz? like really?

Another favorite of mine was in a game I was playing Galio Support, I'm a Level 7 Galio pretty much all of that support, in a LOW rank match with other LOW rank players and before we even start the ADC is begging me to play another Champ. I'm like I want to win and this is really my best. Well Top lane and mid get rekt quickly, and we are in trouble bot bc the other teams mid and jg can camp us, Our Jhinn is chasing kills and won't farm so we are slowly falling behind and the Voli JG is probably our best player but cant be everywhere. Now I don't blame anyone and even though they didn't play well Mid and Top were NOT jerks but jhin and our JG decide that even though I am doing as well as anyone on our team Galio is the route of all our teams problems so they need to instruct me on my build. "You need MR, that will scale your AP too" right bc I got S- or higher 5+ times having never read the champs passive description sure. Also not playing mid, Primary threat was Draven, quick check and nope he's not building AP. Oh BTW had second highest MR on the team (without a MR item yet, I actually bought Sorcerer's boots by mistake lol) because I have 12 MR runes many of which are scaling . . . but yeah where would I be without their help . . .

The point is I don't mind advice and frequently seek it out but the condescending arrogance of players is staggering even when they aren't being toxic, It makes me wonder if we even really need the chat in solo queue games.
