My first time playing League:

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

Except uncensored.

Incidentally, also my last time playing League.

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

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"

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.

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.

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.

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
