Phreak mentioned that due to the increase of toxicity and death threats he will be quitting social media.
While I agree with some of the points about the ping system that the community has brought up before, harassing Rioters and others has been happening for so long and has been so severe, that i understand why phreak has come to this decision.
This is why we cant have nice things
Picture book example why Devs rarely interact with their playerbase beyond larger scale blogposts and announcements, not every player is happy with the direction the game takes and if of these players only a small group is mentally deranged enough they will harrass the person they deem responsible, most of the time the person who interacts with the community.
Not to mention League has an increadibly toxic playerbase as is, any Rioter should expect shit being thrown their way if they choose to openly communicate with the community, doesnt even matter if theyre not part of a team that isnt responsible for whatever change they didnt like.
Its a sad reality, I hope Phreak doesnt let this effect him personally.
