Hey fam,

So idk whats gotten into everyone lately. But almost every game I am in, someone is flaming someone else. Or has such a fat ego that if you recommend them a build or ping for help once, literally once, they dive in and int. Saying "happy now?" I dont get it lol. whats wrong with everyone? Even in champ select everyone bans eachothers champs, and then say "you cant play that champ like i can so i banned it." This community is honestly so bad. Idk if i am gonna deal with this crap to get that one good game a month.

That's actually weird af. I've had the same thing. Never before have I had a troll in my games more than once or twice per month, but just this week, I've had three trolls (Two of them were Yasuo mains so not really surprising) and an entire lobby that simultaneously called me autistic and r%%%%%ed (This is in champ select in ranked solo queue, for picking Janna because apparently Janna isn't viable) and one rage quitter. Maybe lots of people got bad Christmas presents?

The Community is a true and accurate reflection of the game and company... Plain and simple!

I would say because it's frustrating that your own success depends so much on how skilled and responsible four other people are and matchmaking simply isn't a thing anymore, but...... the toxic ones are almost always also the ones who play like monkeys and make it impossible to win.

Most toxic players in these boards ever. Also I noticed too. Since the preseason started I saw a lot more toxic players in my games.

It's a number of reasons. The main reason is that you are combining competition with complete amoninity.

A lesser reason is that it is preseason coupled with a meta that is ever changing as well as additional lane theories. You have people trying to make what they use to do work now, people trying to make new things work, and people trying the new things with out understanding and/or caring about the theory crafting behind it.

In short, you have a bunch of possible rage inducing variables where one can be or do what they want.

From your post I still didn't get if it is a constant problem or one-time issue. "Lately" usually means something recently happened. In the end of the post, you point that it is as minimum problem of several months.

I suggest you just stop using chat at all, and don't rely on anybody, don't expect any help. You are on your own in soloQ. Understanding this helped me to climb.

I feel you; I think one of the hardest things I ever had to do was to learn how to use the mute button. But godaaaam it helps
