&gt; LoL is still easily the most toxic community I&#x27;ve ever laid eyes on<p>Then I would submit that you lack experience, they&#x27;re towards the head of the pack.  Also, from that language, you appear to be a bit toxic yourself.<p>&gt; All it takes is 1 person to ruin an hour of your day, and if you try and refuse to allow it to be ruined, riot will ban you<p>You can mute them.  What you cannot do is ruin other 8 other peoples&#x27; day because of one guy.  Moreover, the new pick intent systems are calculated to avoid trolling due to conflict over desired role.<p>Champ select remains a problem they&#x27;re working on, and there are games worth dodging, but they&#x27;re far in the minority for me.  Of course I&#x27;m happy to support, so no one is ever forced into that role unwillingly.<p>&gt; I stopped playing league because I got tired of just how time consuming it is to play that game and climb rank.<p>Ranked is inherently frustrating due to being competitive.  Not everyone there is trolling, some are just having really bad games and there&#x27;s almost a Poe&#x27;s Law where you can hardly tell the difference.  You will find that people are stressed in any competitive game, though, and LoL is really not as bad as most.<p>Note:  I&#x27;ve never been banned.  Granted, I&#x27;m only Gold II myself, but I have played with and against Challengers.
