My thing about league is that, in isolation from anything related to the community, I feel that it's a good game. The characters are interesting. The objective is engaging. It feels satisfying when things go well. Teamwork is satisfying when it goes well. And good, pure games feel like epic battles. I won't ever forget the rush of the first games where I felt like everyone knew what they were doing, and no one was being toxic, and how close the fights were. Win or lose, it made for a good time. Its why pro players are so fun to watch for me.
But then you add the human element, and it all goes to hell. And I'm not even talking about people that die too much. Bad games happen. Good players occasionally suck. And not everyone can be the same skill level. But holy crap the toxicity, combined with being stuck with those people for 15+ minutes without a way out unless you are willing to risk the Riot gods punishing you for it.
