I can&#x27;t speak for Dota, but I quit playing league because I got tired of how badly Riot has implemented their ranked system.<p>There&#x27;s so much talk about toxicity in league, and very little about what CAUSES the toxicity.<p>Hands down the biggest issue is not coming down quicker on trolls and AFK&#x27;s in ranked.  They have a system in which they literally FORCE you to play out an hour long game when someone never connects, leaves after 5 minutes, doesn&#x27;t get what they want so intentionally feed, and so forth.<p>For someone trying to climb that&#x27;s automatically 2 hours gone.  1 hour for the game they&#x27;re forced to play out, and 1 hour for the game they have to win to even out their ranking loss.<p>I have literally seen streaks of 60-70% of games with one of the above (troll or AFK).  Eventually people get frustrated by it and that&#x27;s when the toxicity starts.<p>If Riot wants to improve toxicity they need to protect the ranked experience better.  I have so many things going on in my life that losing 2 hours because some asshat on the internet decided to troll is just not worth the time.  2 hours is a LOT of time, and while I loved the competitive nature of the game, eventually I just walked away from the game.<p>Shortly after I decided to walk away from the game, I came across the following video, and it describes EXACTLY why I stopped playing, and where my frustrations with the game where.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=5UfO7qOHx5M" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=5UfO7qOHx5M</a><p>The day I quit was when I sat down on a Saturday to spend playing league (one of those rare days where I got to do what I wanted).  I spent 2 hours waiting on dodges (where it makes you wait when you leave during champ select).  I kept dodging because I kept getting trolls in champ select.  And then something like 4&#x2F;5 of the games I <i>did</i> get into had either an AFK or someone who got pissed off in game at someone and started trolling.<p>I just thought to myself, what am I doing?  There are so many more productive things I could have done today, this game does nothing but frustrate me.<p>I haven&#x27;t played a game since, although I still watch LCS.
