Can't win a game to save my life, not really motivated to play well

This is the only game I've played where the fun-factor in it was extremely situational. There are so many things that just annoy me in this game or can ruin the experience. There's always that guy who thinks he's an expert (even though we're all unranked) and bashes people and immediately spurts "GG" when someone dies. Or someone who makes racist remarks. Or someone just trolling.

Now someone will say "Hey this is an E-sport, not a game, it's not meant to be fun" or "Just mute them" or "lol get gud". And that's the problem. The amount of problems in this game are ludicrous and people just brainlessly defend them until they deal with it themselves. I even did a research project for a psychology class I took asking if people actually enjoyed this game, and most of them say that they hate this game and don't even know why they play it. And I empathize completely.

There are too many factors out of my own hands to believe that just me playing well will change my fortune in terms of wins and losses. After all, it takes just 1 person to ruin the game for 4 other people.

I just needed to get this of my chest. I'm not really sure what to do anymore.

You just got to learn to ignore it. Read it take it in let it go. I was tilting hardcover for a while and barely came to realize it was how I myself took things. You can mute them but that's just avoiding the issue. It's a MOBA and most people want to believe they're pro, but truthfully we're all scrubs all of us.

Now I just play. Read chat, focus on what I need to do, look at the map, ward and objectives. Even though this is a team game, in situations like that all you can do is pray they cooperate and focus on yourself. Most people say things on purpose in order to make you tilt.

What you're doing right now, is tilting. Gotta stop letting emotions and others cloud your judgement and gameplay. Honestly I'd say play a few games with me and my friends or othera who dick around 95% of the time and just play for fun. If it's not ranked, I just play for fun. Not everyone is understanding of that so just learn to accept it.

Just tak about a 3 day break. play like Tera or other games that are MMO's and get really into them without spending money. when you get tired of them switch back to league with a COMPLETELY different mindset.

This also bothers me, I often friend players who are sportsman-like so I can count on having -1 toxic player in some later games. I also play with friends I know from outside of League so we have a non-toxic team and we all just have a great time.
