Never before I have been so toxic...

I am playing this game for over five years now. Yet now looking back on my most recent games, I think I must have reached a new level of toxic. And the weird part? I stopped caring.

Why should I even bother to climb? So I am on the same level as some legally boosted moron? I am gold already, that means maximal rewards apart from a irrelevant border color. If I don't climb it doesn't matter. And if I can effectively cause someone I don't like not to climb either I am veeeery ok with that.

Why should I even try to impact the game when I see my team fails? Solo-impact has been so greatly reduced that I'd rather afk and wait until the surrender vote. Better than dragging out a lost game until minute 45. During that saved time I could start a new game with the chance of less retarded teammates. Usually when I see my team at 20 minutes I can tell wether these guys have a chance or not, and 90% of that time I am right when I say that they are going to lose. And I don't waste my time and energy in a clearly lost game.

Why should I bother to be nice? No one else is either. People should be grateful I don't wish them cancer (like everyone else does here it seems) and insult them normally instead. And no, I am not going to mute anyone. I will try to cause as much psychological damage as I can because these people don't deserve anything better.

To be honest I have seen so much shit in my time in this game that I kinda stopped caring. Oh you kinda are an asshole? Well, too bad, I afk. Go fuck yourself. You whine about flame? Well, if you are 0/6 by 10 minutes you deserve it. Then it is not flame, but a valid evaluation of your skill. And if you skill is equal to that of a braindead retard, well congratulations, that's what you are. You flame me despite me having the way superior stats? Well, congratulations, try winning this without me, fucker.

And everyone else is acceptable collateral damage. I have no friends that play this game anymore, so why should I care about some random people that are affected by this? And I don't have the need to be "moralically superior" either. Mostly because the illusion of "being the better person" means absolutely nothing in the end.

I wonder what's different than the other seasons tho. I mean, I have no bans or restrictions right now and I never had any (apart from that one day where the system went kinda haywire and gave everyone restrictions, but even then the number was super low as compared to actually toxic people), but just looking back I see a clear difference to this and earlier seasons. Another possibility would be me having changed since then, but I am still the same nihilistic douchebag that I was since I started this game. But the game has obviously changed, yet the question is: had the changes any effects on player behavior?

Mostly because I'm not only seeing this with me, but also with others. Even when I am not the one causing it, I see way more toxicity in my games than in previous seasons. So maybe it kinda is caused by the gameplay? But I am not exactly sure by what exactly...

This will get downvoted anyways, but ah whatever...

Maybe you shouldn't. Maybe you should go play a different game rather than make excuses for your own bad behavior. You clearly value your own experience more than the 9 other people you queued up with.

Couple seasons ago when I was silver trying to climb into gold I felt suicidal. Eventually after being in such dark depression and hitting gold. I somehow stopped caring and took a break then came back not giving a shit and ended up in plat. I think you are on the right road to climb into plat (not the suicidal part). Stop caring. Stop caring as if every game matter like it was some big deal. It will improve your attitude, your life and your rank games. If you get so angry it will cloud your judgments and your play pattern. Just stop caring about rank.

The more you care when you lose the harder it will affect you negatively.

I agree with OP 100%.

IF I play Draven and my support ks's me, tells me I'm garbage and do no damage, take my cs, flame me while sitting under tower using no abilities then ya i'm afk if my opponent is a half decent player. Also people call me tyler 1 every game but I don't say toxic shit like he does in chat. I just get flammed for being tyler 1 regardless.

It's true if you don't go like 8-2 atleast then the game is kinda hopeless in solo que because there is 0 co-ordination, your teams jungler doesn't ward doesn't gank other lanes (i prefer my jungler to never come to my lane because I know I can handle it) or ganks lanes that are losing and just adds to the feed.

Ofcourse after all this happens I'M the one who is told is the problem and to get cancer kys etc. etc. beta cuck yadayada. This game is toxic af and my reports mean nothing anymore because I report atleast once per game (maybe I should stop for a while so that I can actually get people banned).

I prefer to lose at 20 mins than to win a game at the 60 min mark. I can play and win 3 more games in that amount of time. Normally in the situation where I MAYBE COULD MIGHT win in a 60 min game, the players on my team are an entire division lower than the enemy team. These long games aren't worth the hassle and effort required of carrying them.

Also OP if it makes u feel better I get flamed even when I don't type. This community is garbage. I just stopped caring what people say and I have fun when I win and lose now. I know where my mistakes are and when I get flamed for them, I just give up in that particular game.

Also also, I climb elo when I do this. More games played = more elo. 60 minute games are pointless to play until diamond/high plat

I was with you for a little bit until you understated the benefits of cultivating a superior morality.

Such a poor attitude alone costs you games, that 90% statistic you made up that your team would lose if you think they would is probably for 40% or more because you started playing worse, also stopping to think what you could do to adapt and maybe win the game. Maybe you even would try to speed up the loss, it's become quite more common for that to happen.

I do get what you mean though about being in Gold and that there's not really a reason to climb further, I agree ranked integrity is currently a total mess. Borders will become meaningless because of DQ.

If you looked at season 3 and ESPICALLY seaons 1. This game is not even the same game. The difference in player skill/attitude has no comparison. I mean i played HUNDREDS of ranked games in seasons 1-3 and i would get a toxic or bad player every other game. Either on my team or the other. But this season there are toxic players in EVERY game i play. i mean literally almost 90% of my games are toxic players. At LEAST one. This game has gone to shit and its mostly due to the FORCED gameplay that you CANNOT win based of individual skill alone.

Make this game better again, -solo que -revert season 4 CC changes so they don't stack -remove timers, remove free wards, so players that do track/buy wards have an advantage again over ones who don't It's turned into CC/burst death match, there used to be more options for a skill you had over your opponent

If you "rework" a champion and it doesn't do what it did before that's isn't a rework it's a new champion. Nobody can invest and main a champion, you are forced to play what is top tier. Yasuo came out and everything after him has been some overloaded champion kit that ensures it's impossible for them to fix this mess.
