Discouraged

I'm getting very tired of the trolls in the LoL community.

I'm level 16 now and every game has at least one smurf or one troll (they go afk, idle, or they feed intentionally) or both at once. It's honestly really discouraging. On top of that, you have regular players who are straight up a holes. All they do is tell other players they suck, blame their failures on the rest of the team and just act like over all jack offs in general.

I know that PVP is generally this way, but it seems like LoL has more of it than the average game. And even though you report these people it seems like nothing happens to them. Even my boyfriend brags about how many times he's been reported for being a jerk in game and how he still hasn't been banned.

Is it that Riot hasn't found a solution for this? Or they just don't care? Because the way I see it is if they start banning players like they're supposed to they would have A LOT less players and of course less players equal less money right?

I know people who have stopped playing the game because of this and honestly I'm debating not playing anymore also. The environment is unpleasant, stressful and all around just horrible. I have met very very cool people though and it just sucks that the bad ones outweigh the good ones. Not sure if anyone else feels the same way, I'm kind of just venting a little I guess.

I have literally played 4 games in a row where someone threw the game or fed. I just can't take it anymore. Am I the only one?

Riot doesn't care about trolls; They make most of there money through skins - and if a troll makes a new account he most likely will buy another skin he already did before. Point being; It's why it's so much easier to level to 30 now - It's why there goal is reform, and never permanent bans no matter what you do. Get used to it;

I actually had someone actually banned in my promo games for trolling; and it was still classified as a winable game... even though he was banned.

Hi,

Well the feeders and trolls you are encountering are probably bots. There are a lot of bots in the game below level 30, especially in ARAM. A real feeder/troll will want to chat at people in the chat, if they are feeding/trolling but not doing that then they are probably just a bot doing the mindless crap that bots do.

All the jerks you are encountering are the 'smurfs'. It seems like a lot of people who play LoL can't even fathom that there might be players who are actually new players in the game. They just assume everyone has been playing for years and if you don't know what you are doing it is obviously because you are a moron.

Anyway, it does get better as far as the feeding/trolling/bots go once you get to level 30. Actually, it will be amusing to you to see what people call "feeding" who haven't played below level 30 in years; they call it 'feeding' just whenever someone is having a bad game, but in the lower levels it means someone is intentionally running out to die over and over again.

It is because Riot bans them, the main account, that they come make a new account and smurf at lower levels. They were punished for trolling / intentional feeding / griefing / toxicity, and they haven't learnt a thing. So they start a new account and do the same thing over and over again.

It gets better once you hit lvl 30. The current pockets of Heavy toxicty is at mid levels and low Plat ELO.

I suggest you just mute them and report them, so they will get banned again.
