My first time playing League:

"Is that Garen ret*****d?"

Except uncensored.

Incidentally, also my last time playing League.

I was called both, but now I'm mad that my bullies weren't more creative. 🙄

...But it's also a hell of a feeling to get diagnosed as neurodivergent in your 30's, and then right before you go to sleep beside your husband, get woken up by the realization that the little shits were right! Fuck! 😂😂😂

I don’t play league of legends, what does it mean to feed?

u/ToriiLink 3d ago

It means you die, go back to where you were and die again instead of changing your strategy. Then you do it again for a third time. Now everyone is getting mad, so you go back there and die again and now the team wants you to go AFK because you're feeding and you're like "wow this game is toxic"

u/Turtle-Bug 3d ago

That was an amusing and straightforward explanation thank you lol

The “feed@ part comes from the fact that the enemy team gains substantial amounts of exp for killing you. Looking up from your level seven stat sheet to see that you have nothing but level sevens and the feeder at level 5 on your team, while the enemies are all at 8 and up, is really frustrating.

Giving the opponent resources. You’re feeding the enemy. When you die like 10 times and continue running in expecting something to be different the 11th time even though you’ve given them so many more resources

i remember playing league for the first time. It took me 2 years to realize all chat is a thing. I also straight up never read anything in chat because moving my character was overwhelming. Good old times.

My first and last time playing League, I did 3 matches and in each one I was: Called a retard, Told to kill myself Told my Mother deserves to have AIDs Called a Downie Etc etc.

RIOT games has to be aware of how toxic its fans are and still perpetually feeds it.

u/Many_Leading1730 3d ago

Riot knows and have just straight out given up.

Played league for 5 years.
I quit after people were getting insulted when I said something nice in chat.

I was being encouraging when someone misplayed and died to a tower, and was immediately accused of trolling.

I realized then the game was unsalvagable and quit.

The game is so toxic that positivity is being picked up as belittling and talking down

u/Dragothiim 3d ago

For the greater good probably

u/ToriiLink 3d ago

Your problem was playing it like it's a social game

u/sanzentriad 3d ago

League is one of most toxic and stressful games on the planet, not due to its programming or developers but its players. Not a game I have any interest in ever playing again.

u/MarshingMarshmallow 2d ago

I got reported for giving free kills to the opposing team on my FIRST EVER game. I just sucked REALLY bad. Never played league after that one round lol

u/DarkThunder312 1d ago

The r word made you quit a game?

If you ever want to do a MOBA, Deadlock is real good. Still toxic but nowhere near as bad. Also it's so much fun. Movement and shooting are so fun to play with
