My son asked me if I would play league of legends with him, so tried it for the first time. So much going on!

Firstly, how does anyone zero in on what hero they want to play, there are so many of them! I feel like it would take a year just to play enough to decide.

Secondly, the purchase UI seems to have been designed to ensure that a new player can never understand it. I'm sure like all things it becomes clear over time but jeez, did a professional team really work on that thing?

Anyway, 2 defeats from 2 games so far, I write to you from the lobby waiting for the third!

Is that game still the poster child for toxic gamers? Been years since I played but I would never let my kid play that game.

It's sad because it is pretty fun when you get into it and when you have people to play with. But it really only takes one person to ruin a match for nine other people by trolling/feeding/etc. I ended up quitting because it was just WAY too toxic.

The shit people used to say in that game... like nothing I've heard in any other game. Literally talking about

spoilerraping people
like that's somehow acceptable shit talking. Curious if it's gotten any better... it certainly couldn't have gotten any worse.

Not sure when they added this (maybe season 10) , but you can mute in game by default. I use it. You can still see pings and emotes. When someone is obviously griefing with pings, I mute them completely.

The game is a much better experience that way. Chat in that game is overrated. Plus without all the none sense people spew in chat it’s easier to find flash and summoner timers

People were begging for auto-mute back when I was playing. I realize that it's a team game and they don't want to discourage communication but they were well aware of the toxicity. They implemented the Tribunal system to try to address it. Didn't do much in the short term. Glad rito caved on the auto-mute.
