He said he only took this deal because he actually thought the game was good <| sep |> Here ' s my experience on the ladder . Toxicity tends to decrease as you climb the ladder , there are a few exceptions , though . Typically on the border between two tiers there is a spike in toxicity . I think this is because people in division 1 of a tier are hungry for the next tier , while people who hit the new tier are at least temporarily satiated and want to play a more goofy game . The spikes are not all the same though . I ' ve definitely noticed the P 1 D 5 border is the most toxic elo of the game in my experience . I think this is because there ' s a pretty big community mental change from platinum to diamond . Not many people care about platinum players opinions , but diamond players tend to get significantly more hype . I think toxicity changes as you climb the ladder . Toxicity tends to get more play focused as you climb the ladder instead of personal insults . That ' s my experience with toxicity on the ladder .
