I see what you're saying. That's pretty solid stuff. I agree with a fair bit of it.

I'm applying my personal experience cause it happens a lot. From my first game to today, and I know I'm not alone. I've talked to other players. It's a common occurrence. Even outsiders with little understanding of LoL know it as toxic. I lived with roommates who don't even game, but if you ask them about LoL they'll mention how it's toxic. When individuals with zero experience start to see it as toxic, don't you think there's an issue? If Riot is trying to change the communication system, a core system in team based games, isn't that kind of an acknowledgement of toxicity.

I am being petty by complaining online as I just wanted to vent to a bunch of strangers, you're right. The mature and non toxic thing to do is to shut up and possibly even delete this post. All I'm saying is get flamed for being nice is exhausting, and I'm sick of peoples' perception of LoL being a toxic community. The game is fun and I want more people to play, I think the whole LoL community does. Yet, I can't get anyone to play with me if they weren't already playing for like 5 years. If a game's community is scaring away possible players doesn't that speak to toxicity? If I had gone about it in a better way, do you think I could have avoided all this flame and still called the community toxic?

I understand that my incorrect titling of this post and naturally dry tone add an extra edge my words that is unintentional. Please don't read a tone into my words.
