I’m still unranked (level 21) so I’m forced to play normal games. So, I obviously don’t know about any hero, I’m trying to learn Samira which is quite difficult and the only hero I can use consistently is Sivir. Anyway, most of the times, when not even 1 minute has passed, I see people insulting each other (and sometimes me too) for some foolish reason. I mean, bro, you’re playing normal, but more than that, you’re fucking gold at most (at least I think that’s the most I’ve been paired with), why would you be toxic if you’re gold?!? It’s not like you’re tryharding or anything if you’re THAT low, so why would you get so butthurt (in the case no one is intentionally throwing or trolling etc, which is kinda annoying to me too)??? For me it’s not a big problem, in fact I laugh a lot in these kinds of situations and even taunt them a bit to see them get increasingly angrier, but I just don’t understand the reason of all this toxicity in such low skill-leveled games.
Just came back to league after 2 years. Was hardstuck low gold high silver, I’ve played 61 games, I have a 70% winrate and just got emerald 3, and I’d say this game is ALOT less toxic then what it uses to be. One inter every ten games or none at all, no one is toxic in chat cuz of fear of ban and if you play the game disciplined and at a high level you will rank up. Learn how to play Lucian, good mid range adc that is simple compared to Samira and his complex combos also gives him a high ceiling. Also I’d say don’t worry too much about ur rank in ur first 100-500 ranked games. You may be stuck in iron-bronze simply because your fundamentals aren’t good enough. Good luck and have fun!
Reddit makes you think the game is a toxic cesspool and truly unenjoyable.
I ranked up to bronze without having played ranked for some reason, but ffs it’s so annoying that you have to play so many games before actually ranking. In my last games I’m getting completely annihilated by people who have the blue icon in the loading screen, which I didn’t encounter at the start. It’s frustrating 'cause when I meet people of my same level, I have genuinely a lot of fun and fights are fair and close . But then I meet these guys who do insane combos with the flash, seem to know all about my hero (and theirs) and I have to say I get kinda salty because it’s kinda unfair. But yeah, mostly I’m having fun, heroes seem balanced and I like the fact that strategy plays a very important role towards the win (not that I’ve ever followed a strategy with my team, but it looks like it would be great to out-strategy (?) the enemy in fullteam).
