Ok, so, I hear a lot of people saying that League is dying. Now I didnt believe this and I've recently started play and was enjoying myself (I'm only level 19). I finally got enough champs to play in draft unranked and had a blast with a few friends and playing solo on occasion.

Here's the problem, I played ADC a lot as it was relatively easy to get into and I always had my support to help coach me, but my premade wanted me to learn jungle so off I go researching it and watching vids etc...

This brings us to today. I have played several bot games and had a blast playing Jungle, but when I jumped into draft unranked I was blasted with abuse, anger and threats to report (accusing me of 'smurfing' and intentionally losing) I'm not sure why anyone would do that in UNRANKED but ok.

I'm now scared to even play as I dont want all this time I've spent in the last week to get banned, I really am enjoying it, it is just such a toxic environment for new players that it's no wonder the game seems to be dying, old player are leaving and new players are getting abused and reported for simply being new.

TL:DR I'm sad because I'm new and everyone hates me

Game has more players now than it did in 2016. That's a pretty strange definition of dying!

Sorry you're getting flamed, would suggest you mute everyone and keep having fun learning the game.
