Just played my first game after a month break, huge mistake.

I recently just got finished moving from South Carolina to Louisiana (945 miles), and havn't had time for League. So, I thought it would be nice to play my first game in a while, and boy was that a huge fucking mistake. I get into game and my bot lane is severely flaming the absolute hell out of eachother, go 0/10 in lane, my Draven tells Karma to kill themselves, then starts flaming me the entire game because apparently I'm "bronze 5 trash ", am a "kid", and "suck on my mothers titties". I'm also apparently an "autistic premature fuck" who "never goes outside and is overweight black trash".

Now, before anyone tells me to just "mute the player and move on", that doesn't solve anything regarding the communities toxicity as a whole. I don't like having to do /mute all at the start of the game, just so I can not see that shit in my chat logs. I try to be a friendly person, one who looks for friends to play with, but it's just so punishing to not just mute everyone at the start of the game because it's just filled with negativity.

I'm also not going to lie, after my month break, I've just been a much happier person. This game was mentally fucking killing me, well not the game itself, but the God damn community. Of course, there are some bullshit champions roaming around and too much mobility/damage creep, but hopefully Riot (Greg Street) opens their eyeballs and realizes that they fucked up.

In all honesty though, I think I'm done with this game permanently, at least until Riot can address player behavior better. It's completely ruined League for me.

yea, this game is complete garbage now unfortunately.

its "mostly" not even the games fault at this point, its toxic players and unwillingness to help each other.

This is why single player gaming is becoming more and more attractive. There are no pricks there (unless they're in character), the game is (usually) fair, the servers don't lag you out at critical moments (only critical moments), and playing the game well makes things that happen in game favorable to me. Most league players are pricks, the game practically revolves around one shots as of late, the servers do whatever they want (almost like I'm playing against the New England Patriots), and I lose despite dominating my lane time and time again. Gee, if I had to choose, it wouldn't be a hard choice.

Well you got to understand that this is an entire Community made of people of different races, ages, and backgrounds You can't expect riot to jump in and slap them on the hand and play mom. People are responsible for their own actions and their own words and you just can't let that get to you it's honestly it's about becoming more stronger mentally as a person and you can't let random people behind a computer screen get to you or, as much as you don't like to hear this mute them.

If you don't feel like you need to play this game anymore that is completely understandable, if you don't feel like you can handle the words of other strangers on the internet then it's your right to not play the game anymore and I wish you the best of luck and happiness with everything you do in life.

Much love Tiffany PS. I'm in Kentucky, I visited South Carolina once and I absolutely loved it

Mute, Report, Move on.

When someone starts flaming, they're not going to contribute anything useful for the rest of the game. Mute them then. You don't need to /mute all at the start. That advice is aimed at the flamers, because they have difficulty controlling themselves.

But, you should do the things that are good for you. So, feel free to enjoy spending your time doing things that you want to spend your time doing.

it really does solve something, its lets YOU be in control of what you hear.
