A new League of Legends player bittlerly utter like that after his first experience with League of Legends.
With easy to learn gameplay, friendly character designs and not too confusing mechanisms, League of Legends attracts and suits many new players. This is League of Legends’ strength when competes against other titles and progressively becomes a extreme popular game in the world.
However, accompany with the game’ development, League of Legends is slowly losing that important factor since it has started to become a nightmare for those newcomers want to try out the game. Riot Games is the one should take a part of responsibility but the main reason comes from its community those old players have turned League of Legends unfriendly to new players.
A newcomer name SensitiveGamer123 had shared his “tearful” first League of Legends experience makes everyone to shake their head with sighs about the toxicity of the game.
He said: “every single game my team flames me to oblivion for builds and summoner spells and when I tell them I’m new they tell me to uninstall and kill myself because I’m ruining the game for them. I’m very sensitive so this always makes me feel terrible”
Another gamer nicknames as AddiFA gave his opinion read: “The new player experience is f**ed because there’s a lot of people that get banned for being toxic. When they make new accounts they just keep on going with their shit behaviour. It does get better, not perfect, but better. Unfortunately there’s too many toxic assholes getting banned for the lower Ivls to be enjoyable without friends.”
Others like EnchantedToMe expressed his boredom towards the current status of the game: “You kinds f***ed up playing with an experienced player. Now the game only matches you with ‘,muffs”, players who play on an extra account. But yeah new league experience is horrible. Good luck.”
The factors that determine how newbie friendly the game, especially online game, is not only in the gameplay or tutorial but also in how the community treats new players. MOBA games like DOTA or League of Legends are competitive, winning and losing affect player’ emotions a lot. When a completely new player enter the game, they have weaknesses that can be easily exploited, that makes their lose rate higher leads to this toxic stituation.
Maybe it’s time for Riot Games to create a new queue for new players only or restrict only 1 account per player.
