I just decided to play league after watching a bunch of its gameplay and stuff and i found it very cool but now i am wondering what is wrong with people playing this game! after 2 days of playing and reaching level 11 i rarely had 0 enjoyable games. people start flamming after 1-2 deaths and i encountered a lots of leavers and afk-players. I suggest you change the "Free to play" title for your game to " Free to suffer" "suffering in league of legends is free"
LunarHanyou3 votesThis game currently has a very toxic tilt Induced environment, Mainly due to the many changes that have happened over the years. The game used to be "fun" but now it represents nothing but a way to pull you in and get you to spend your money on so called "skins,wards,icons and simplistic emotes which neither improves nor benefit you within the game. However because this game is so "addictive" it gets you to spend.
Not to mention the game expects you to be the very best in order to move forward in to Higher "Ranks" which is like 7% of players and if you are behind with little potential many will possibly give you a hard time and cause you to want to quit. you then become part of the toxic pool that is the community.
To be honest I would suggest you to stop playing now before you end up regretting it later. Many have been leaving sadly to say, you are in fact 3 years too late to be a part of a once so called a "fun game".
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesWell thanks man! your words means a lot. i understand your completely! and i might quit soon because there is no fun to find here...
NO BYSTANDERS1 votesMaking such statements when you're only lvl 11 is kinda meh I think, I played 800 Bot Games before I even played Normals and Ranked - get some experience, mute people and have fun. PLAY WITH FRIENDS IF YOU WANT, but judging the community in "your low lvl" is kind of like trying raw pasta and saying it sucks. ALL JUST MY OPINION [vlad-salute]
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesmaybe i am over reacting but i never had such experience in any other online game before.
Sukishoo2 votesEh, that's not just this community. Most any competitive game will have the exact same. People that think they know better than others is what all of these are built on.
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesWell does Normal blind pick have any competitive elements?
Sukishoo1 votesNot to some people but there are those who take it seriously. Still though, regardless of the mode, people will still complain like this in all of these style games. I play SMITE: Battleground of the Gods, Heroes of the Storm, Heroes of Newerth, DOTA 2 and others and they are all the same.
BlueThingamajig2 votesThere's a few things going on.
Generally speaking, most people who play league of legends are decent, not flaming people. Sometimes people get a little frustrated, and sometimes people have a bad game. But only a small fraction will rage and flame.
There are several factors that contribute to exacerbating the problems.
This makes low levels (1-29) a selection of new players, smurfs, and most significantly to your experience, banned players on a new account. The rate of toxic players is disproportionately high at low levels. People afk far more frequently at low levels. And because some a fair fraction of players are still learning, people can feed hard.
My hope that, with the changed leveling and rune system, much of the new player experience problems go away. Without having to worry about summoner level matching, Riot can put new players with less skilled experienced players (There are plenty of bad players in league. Have you seen any of Kshaway's wood league videos?)
There's very little advice I can offer you, though, besides the classic advice of 'mute, report, and move on'. The new player experience is pretty bad in league (as you have noticed) and before this new season, the only advice was "it gets better at level 30". I really hope Riot takes this opportunity to adjust new player matchmaking, but I'm not certain anything has changed.
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesThanks for the advice ! :)
Kye L91 votestrue
SavageConcordia1 votesLevel 11 takes 2711xp, you get about 100xp per game. This means you played, what, 27 games in the last 2 days of a game you apparently hate? Why do that to yourself?
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesI was hoping that something will change about the people i met in game but nothing happened all the same. like raging bulls trying to smash each others face! i'm starting to think of quit it
Sukishoo1 votes100xp per game? What world you in? I've gotten 200 for most games and then with FWOTD that's an added boost to where I've had close to 900 in some.
Also, most lower levels take 1-2 games to level up so it's not hard to get to 11 that fast.

after 2 days of playing and reaching level 11 i rarely had 0 enjoyable games.
Its the ranking system. It is extremity flawed in who gets placed where, and since it involves rewards (and prestige) everyone is really toxic.
Take me for example. I'm currently diamond, and with the new runes, my main is kinda trash. However, when I duo with my gold friends I have a lot of fun and still win a lot with him. So when I play at my own rank I get very frustrated, and that is what is happening in your games with smurfs and extremely competitive players.
Safarhaye Elmi2 votesI mean i am level 11 and only playing blind picks where nothing should matter except for having fun with game but its nothing near it. And i wonder what will be a rank game in league. Do they kill each other if they had a chance in real life? i think so :))
GigglesO1 votesI think they would stab eachother irl if they could. And as for players playing competitively most of those players raging probably got banned for doing the same thing but in ranked. A lot of players take losing harshly which is why a large portion of the community wants every champion to have 50% win rate, which riot already says they don't care about.
Riot saying they don't care about certain champions also causes a lot of frustration for players. That however is a whole different issue.
Safarhaye Elmi2 votesSo much for the so called " Most played online game" !
Strilter1 votesI'm pretty sure that title would go to wow or runescape before league
Strilter1 votesThe game is not fun unless you/we/I are winning.
Neo Metalsonicv21 votesIf I play with friends, most of my accounts have very high normal MMR due to me levelling them. So I get matched with diamond 4-1 players.
Now when I go with my silver friends, the matchmaking puts us up against platinum players where I usually win the lane and then see my friends being 0/8 or something. Kills the game for me. With real life friends I must have a 20-30% winrate or so lol.
BADWOLF95471 votesLMAFO, you're not wrong. But if you can get through the early bits and get into a higher ELO the game gets better and the people get friendlier...kinda....
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesbut the time i get there i think i must took special pills for my nerves and passed 4 heart attacks :)))
Area Code 2061 votesThe only solution is to play with premade friends, since riot is balancing all the quest rewards and other stuff to benefit full party play over solo play.
That or you could just mute every single person in each game and pretend you're playing single player.
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesWell i think that might work but i dont have league player firends so much :))
Area Code 2061 voteshttps://discord.gg/FWKnG5a This is EUW discord you could possible find some people to play with on there.

Sona Ping1 votesSorry to hear about that.
and well, it's not a community, it's just people. And people will be people.
I've found players who are fun, positive, encouraging, humorous and all that great stuff. And then there's people who are not so much that. Which you know about. That's how it goes, how everything goes. "people start flamming after 1-2 deaths and i encountered a lots of leavers and afk-players." Like I can tell you that's not different from other online games I know, but I already know that's not going to be a relief to you. The unfortunate thing is that new players can get a bit more of it because guess where some of the people who got their accounts banned go.
Also, take anything written here with a carton of salt (pun no intended). Even the League forums will tell you that the League forums are notorious for people who will breathlessly rant at you about how the game is completely ruined now and everyone should quit due to something or other, which coincidentally, they just lost to. This goes triply so whenever there is a systemic change made to League, one of which is currently happening, which always riles up those who don't understand game functions or simply basic math. So, just in case, I will apologize on behalf of anyone who is going to use your post as a soapbox to bitch instead of having the decency to try to talk to you.
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesi mean i never played any other online game in which people start raging and flaming over a normal game which has 0 outcome in their standing or anything else and has only a few xp rewards! i think this community needs to change a bit .. thanks for your words by the way.
Teriyaki Bukkake1 votesOh yeah, no blind pick is full of tonnes of toxic players. To be entirely honest I think it actually holds the majority of the toxic players in the game! :/ The sooner you can get out of there and queue up into ranked the better, because I personally find playing ranked quite delightful :)
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesBut i have no other options for leveling up. Draft picks takes a long time to start and ARAM gives less xp than blind pick so...
Teriyaki Bukkake1 votesYeah its a dumb incentive for you to buy xp boosts :/
Good luck out there man
Sorin Alucard1 votesDont use your chat. just turn them all off every game and treat it like single player it becomes much more enjoyable.
Unless you have friends who play. Discord league is fun
Rocnation981 votesToxicity and Memes.
Neo Metalsonicv21 votes"suffering in league of legends is free"
this goes for every ELO
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesI think its true :D
NekoniClaws1 votesIt's not really possible to ban people from the game, so bad players who harass their teammates have their accounts banned and constantly have to start fresh accounts. Type /mute all into chat, and once you see your winrate level to around 50%, you'll see much less toxicity.
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesWell that's a shame. I asked one of my friends who played league for 4 years and he said the community toxicity is increasing each season and it doesn't belong to any specific tier. i mean if you want to play league you must accept this toxicity beside its game play
I Just Stunned U1 votesPeople are just toxic. Also, there are a lot of people smurfing out there and expecting people that actually just began playing the game to be a good player. Just mute and report people if they annoy you.
Safarhaye Elmi1 votesMuting might work but it makes the game so hollow and dead :D
Magi Mayvin1 votesWhat community? All I see is cancer.
Eji Saint1 votesWhen you hit higher tier gameplay the community is a LOT better.. There are still the occasional people being dufuses, but people genuinely don't waste their time being dipshits.. all the muck and grossness of this community is boiling at the bottom of the barrel.
NOW.. After saying that, I get that the welcome committee is rather crap. So I apologize that people are ruining your experience, but the game is still cool and fun. It's just the people who play it who stain the upholstery.
Strilter1 votesWelcome to the League of Legends where you better do your god damned research before you wind up in a match with me because I will tear you a new one new player or not because attempting to play that new role is a waste of my time when I expect you to actually play the role...
In all seriousness my advice ... don't bother with league find a less toxic community like Hots or overwatch... league doesn't deserve new players. Especially if your skin is that thin.
