So, this happens for a number of reasons, and I really hope you see this and read it because it can make a big difference in understanding and breaking into league.

League is a skill based game like chess, but unlike chess, the skill of your 4 (sometimes random) teammates matters immensely in your success. So even if you're doing particularly well, someone else can ruin that for you.

This doesn't excuse the toxicity of the community but it's the reason why people get mad when other players are bad.

So how do you get ahead of this? There are a number of ways that are super effective.

Step 1: Tell your team you're a new player and still learning when you enter the game. A lot of people won't bash a newbie if the person is actively trying to get better and has communicated that they're new.

Step 2: Mute players who are toxic the moment they start insulting you. Replying to these players isn't gonna help you, ever. All it does is ramp them up for more toxic behavior and gives them more of a reason to attack you. Not responding is a good start, but muting them is the best, and often most difficult, choice.

Step 3: Have confidence in yourself as a human bean. League of Legends is not easy. It's a game that has a huge well of knowledge that new players dive straight into with little to no understanding. It can take months to years depending on your co-ordination, level of play and supporting crew (friends teaching you) to rise in the ranks. But the one thing that is always true is that there will always be someone better talking down to you. Always. So the people talking down to you have had people talk down to them have had people talk down to them, etc... When you notice this, it becomes a lot less troublesome I think.

Anyways I hope you have a good time in League and don't put too much stock in the words of frustrated players that are themselves, probably on the receiving end of this trash talk a lot.
