With everybody complain about the community nobody has actually proposed how to change it
first person to fix is yourself whenever something bad happens with you in it
TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO SAY "MY BAD"
even if it isn't your fault it's still good, it force people to only blame you and they are not allowed to be toxic at others
EDIT damn i got front page
Not be a downer but usually when I say "my bad" I get the typical response "You fucking dumbass, don't my bad me, just don't do it."
zzz
Yeah, and then they can all gang up on you and 4 man report you for nothing. I've seen it happen.
I once lost a game at the end of a teamfight by going tunnel-vision on the Braum standing directly in front of me with his shield raised, and not the somewhat-fed Draven standing right behind him chunking me down with axes. I acknowledged that loss was my fault, and everyone on my team was willing to leave it at that. I wish more people were this polite.

You realize that it takes a strong person to be able to do that right? You're trying to get people to take blame for something they didn't do even if they don't know what it is. That means taking all the hate from your allies. Not anyone can do that. Instead, we should promote the idea that everyone should apologize when something bad happens in the game. Then when everyone apologizes, everyone is to blame and thats when real teamwork comes into play.
I always do this. Finally being recognized for my extra effort.
Shhhhh... don't tell everyone my secret method for gaining elo.
basically say "my bad for anything that could remotely be your fault and downplay everyone else mistakes.
I've never found it harmful to chat "shit, mb" when I fuck up, and "we still got this, push top tower" when bot does something dumb.
even if it isn't your fault it's still good
Actually if your top (for example) messes up and ruins a play, you shouldn't tell him it was "your bad". That way, they may think they won't realize their mistake and probably will do it again, and ruin another play.
Of course you must not flame him, so you can either don't say a word or politely tell them they did wrong and why. (For example: "Diving the nexus at level 1 is risky, try to avoid it next time unless you are Draven.")
If your top is a toxic player, he has enough "flame" for all your team, so you don't have to worry.
I do that anyway.
GET ON MY LEVEL (I'm kidding, but this is the internet, so I have to write that in)
But seriously, a little "my bad" when you screw up alleviates a lot of in game tension. On the flip side, don't go berserk just because someone doesn't say "my bad" when they screw up.
its what I'm trying to do. i still get really frustrated and strung out, but instead of blaming my jungle for only ganking twice, i blame myself for not checking my minimap, or over extending. there is always something you can do better, especially in bronze. i don't know how many people I've seen in bronze make mistakes and then default to blaming the jungler, or bad teammates. i had a sona go 3/10/2 and blame the rest of the team because the laners were all 0/12/0 and such. she said i was bad too, i was 0/2/0. so. you live and you learn.
Regardless of what teammates say, I think that actually mentally thinking that it WAS your fault is a great way to improve as a player. As you are a part of a team, everything you do is connected to the outcome of every situation. So, since nobody is perfect (Hit it, Miley), constantly thinking about what you could've done to better the situation or make an impact on the game is the ideal mindset of a strong-willed and determined player.
Many people have ideas how to fix it. It just goes against what Riot's business model stands for.
Yeah, if they keep blaming you they look like a douchebag, and you can also probably find a mistake that you've made (even though you weren't directly causing the mistake).
Ironically the best way to "fix" the community is to stop talking about the community like it is a single entity and just play the damn game.
