Not okay. You do not know people. Stop assuming things. "He plays in NA for money" Yeah dude I was getting paid less than some EU rookies. I could log off from twitter could be a solution, doesn't matter since I would get flamed in soloQ no matter what I did.

Broxah opens up about toxicity in the League of Legends pro community

The European Jungler revealed that after his move to NA, it was difficult to deal with fans. Broxah said that many fans accused him of being greedy and the only reason behind his switch from Europe to NA was because he "wanted to become a millionaire."

Other than that, Broxah's video also included the superstar's statement regarding rookies such as Jeremy "Eika" Valdenaire and the amount of bullying they had to face. Broxah admitted that the toxicity rose to such an extent that he had to defend and help Eika.

He was one of the only standing up for me when everyone was farming like and RTs cause its just so cool I was import so who cares. Criticism is good, that is needed. Blindly focusing again and again on a player just because that is a cool trend, not so much.

Fans on Reddit also came forward in support of Broxah. If any player is continuously performing bad, there is always the aspect of being criticized by fans. The community and Broxah feel that the criticism should not turn into toxic slurs instead.
