I see people "troll" ever 2 or 3 games. It ends up ruining the game for myself and the rest of the players. Its not only in this game but in just about every competitive game I have played.
I'm looking for a solid answer to this. Why troll? What are the benefits of trolling?
Is it some moral superiority complex thing, early childhood problems, or are people just doing this for plain "shit n gigs".
Appreciate real answers
Also appreciate the trolls
Well it is two scenarios:
The high schoolers are not in school right now so they are being very immature and rude in games. Over the summer and winter break, toxicity is at a very high rate. I don't care if anyone sits here and tells me that high schoolers are not the reason, i play ranked only when the kids are in school. The parents don't care about parenting their children and Riot allows immature teens to get away with toxic behavior.
These people have no lives and find it is funny to act this way.
firstly, let's have you define trolling, as everyone's definition is different.
My definition is "mucking around, and not being super serious". Stuff like urgot support or morde jg (recently used in LCS as well!) is fun and kids works in low ELO, as game knowledge is what propels you ahead at those levels.
It gets boring playing Leona / sona every game.
Whenever I intentionally feed in a game it's because I get super pissed at a teammate for whatever reason (usually shit talking back and forth) and decide it's not worth playing to help them anymore.
People like the enjoyment when some 12 year old rages at them because they cost him his bronze 4 promos
Honestly... I know people who troll on their other accounts so that they can tank their MMR and be able to play with their lower elo friends. In ranked anyways. In norms I'll admit I "troll" but it's really just to try something unconventional and have fun when you're on a losing streak or to brush off particularly toxic players. Or even to try to get untilted. I've also seen some people using friend's or siblings accounts just to get to them.
It's just unfortunate some players get hit in any of the above crossfire.
