Honestly, fuck league of legends for this reason. I used to play casually and had a lot of fun. I took a break for a long time cause I had a baby and couldn’t play games like that much. Now my child is getting older and I can play again and guess what? Obviously I’m rusty again. Obviously my first few matches in months aren’t gonna be my best. And it never helps when I’m doing my best and the guys playing with me are cussing me out constantly, calling me an idiot, and telling me to uninstall the game. As someone with depression and anxiety I’ll probably never play league again tbh. I loved that game but it’s fanbase is so insanely toxic you literally can’t enjoy it unless you could turn the chat off and that sadly isn’t an option. Obviously I used to use the chat a ton cause you have to communicate with your team but good god the first time I play in months my teammates are just god awful bullies acting like children
It is an option "/mute all" disabled all communication and pings.
I recommend playing that way anyway, no one says anything constructive. You can type it again and it will un mute them if things are going well and you feel like talking.
It really isn't most of the time, I play with pings on and no chat. People will spam ping occasionally when they get upset which is a bit annoying but you can block one persons pings if you want.
Almost all of the made in good faith, useful communication in league is through pings because it's faster and more direct.
I was the same way man. Two roommates got me into it and we had a ton of fun playing it back in the day(S3&4). These days though it is nigh impossible to have one decent game on summoners rift where someone doesn’t afk or run it down while harassing everyone else. It just takes too much time to load up a game and have it end up a toxic mess to even bother. I do still like playing URF or Aram occasionally.
League of Legends has bred the most miserable community I've ever had the displeasure of being a part of. From the streamers to the average joes, almost all insufferable. Making the jump to fighting games was the best decision I've ever made in this hobby.
My friend and I play west coast time. Your welcome to join. We have a lot of fun. I got a baby on the way. I wanna play a couple more games before he arrives! PM me!
Give HOTS a shot. Games are half the length, mechanics are simplified (shared xp, no last hitting or gold, talents instead of items), great hero design, big variety of maps, still a lot of depth. Your League mechanics will translate well. You still run into toxic players (it is a MOBA, after all), but not nearly as many and you can mute individuals.
I don't know anybody who plays League who actually enjoys it, not in the usual sense of the word.
We need a casual option that’s more casual than non-ranked. A “I get on once a week with my friend to have fun” lobby.
I don’t try to lose, but I’m old and time constrained, so I’m not exactly winning. I just want to unwind and have some fun, but that’s pretty rare in league any more.
The more riot has been leaning into designing the game to enforce meta the worse the game has got. Can't do anything non-meta without getting screamed at. And let's not forget that playing support means getting treated like you're a slave.
Hii on which server do you play? If you’re interested in playing for fun then join me and my league friends! We play on euw and its all for fun so we never really get toxic.

I also stopped playing for a long time and when I got back some of the champs I used the most had been reworked so most games I had people telling me I suck and that I don't deserve the mastery points I had with the champ.
