New Player Experience

I started playing a few months ago now. I play mostly bots every once in a while because I enjoy the gameplay, but my experiences when I first started just ruined the game. Played a few not games, got used to the feel of the game and I liked it. Went to normals and had a few decently fun games. Went back to not games to practice CS.

The next normal I played, I was over level 10. It was miserable. Jungler and top lane yelled at each other the entire game. I said I was new and apologized in advance if I played poorly. All game long, the top and jg flamed, kept saying I was troll and intentional feeder, asking everyone in game to report me. Said I deserved a ban for being a troll and many more colorful things.

New player experience is pretty bad in League. As I said, I legitimately love the gameplay, but I have no interest in playing the game. Not really sure what the solution to this is.

Before people reply on here like "lol git gud noob", that's kind of the point of this thread. Namely, that people prefer to belittle new players rather than advise. And people wonder why new players are pretty few in number.

Inevitable, sadly. Best to not respond and mute players if they're distracting you, and you should report them after the game.

quit the game while your soul is not corrupted.

Add me in game...I have a habit of teaching new players how to play and when I play with others there is typically very little flaming...so if you're interested hit me up

It's a problem with most competitive focused games. I rarely play games on my own anymore for just this reason and typically play with my friend who consistently makes me smile with her humor and wit along with her friends who are just chill overall.

I hope you find your posse, though, OP. :) League can be pretty harsh without it. Report toxic players.
