It is so God Damn inconsiderate for people to play ranked when they really don't care about their rank or moving up. Its grossly unfair to teammates, and they should be playing normals. If you don't care about ranked, play normals.
W6xh8u4n3x9 votesIt's players like you man that think they're going to hit challenger or go to the lcs one day and make a living off this game, you're clearly the toxic one if you're bitching about another players performance, because they wouldn't had said shit unless you ran their mouth.
TheDarkinLegend10 votesYeah thats it. Because no one ever responds to polite convoy talking about how we need to tighten it up, or stop team fighting in their jungle without vision....no one ever responds hostile to that or with flippant remarks about how they don't care about the game or the match
W6xh8u4n3x7 votesYou're clearly flustered because you didn't get your way. Sorry to break it to you, but life is unfair. People at a young age don't understand it yet, but you will, and the rest of you will as well.
The God Fâther6 votesYou basically pulled a fallacy by calling him a kid who doesn't understand yet. Furthermore this isn't real life, there are many different rules in league of legends that don't apply to real life and vice versa. When and where did he say that his team HAD to do his bidding? They simply don't listen. Wasn't the whole point of dynamic queue to enforce team work? If people aren't listening and responding "Don't give a fuck it's just a game" they are being toxic and not respecting the other players on their team. This isn't "just" a game when it's ranked. It's a competitive environment and in order for it to stay that way people need to try to win. Anyway I'm very sad to see your post was up voted, I lose hope in the community more and more each day.

Your post makes no sense because of this statement. It makes zero sense to argue that his team doesnt have to listen to him, but then list an entire post about why his team should have to listen to him.
Ariel the Cruel9 votesI disagree, play ranked. Normals is where all the real competition is. We take things seriously.
Unranked Master Race!

BatchBustsMeta6 votesOn the flipside, it is just a game, it really shouldn't mean ALL that much to you. I mean I suppose maybe if you do it as a full time job, but otherwise, I'd say people take this game a little overboard with the amount of emotions they can invoke. Like complete and utter hatred, and rage, over something small like an off meta pick, or a lane swap gone wrong. Maybe I'm just old, but back in my day, games were meant to be fun! lol.
Obingo1 votesIt is just a shit* game.

Choaru3 votesThe only time i really get upset at this game is when someone is being very toxic or when i lost a very long and hard game :( I do play this game alot, more than i like to admit huehue, but in all honesty this game is very important to me since i have met so many nice people on here :c
The Lasher3 votesFun Fact: People are allowed to play what ever they wish. If they don't care about progress and ranked generally most stay away from that type of play. That being said, if a friend of theirs is only into playing ranked and your not; does that mean they can't play with their friends because you don't want them in your game? No, of course not. I'm sorry you lost your game(assumption) but honestly it is a game. If you're so competitive that one loss out of an entire season brings you to this point (or multiple losses for the sake of argument) then maybe it's you who should step back from ranked. I get wanting to win and progress in ranked. I also get wanting to better your play style and see results of that. But to outright say people shouldn't play ranked based on having fun is just absurd. This is a VIDEO GAME. Yes, it can be competitive. Yes it can be frustrating, but at the end of the day it is for fun purposes. Even competitive players have to have some sort of fun otherwise I'm sure they wouldn't be where they are today. If you find yourself not in that boat. Take a break.
TheDarkinLegend1 votesFun Fact: I never said they weren't allowed. There is a difference between CAN NOT and OUGHT NOT. They OUGHT not play, densest mean they CAN'T.
Furthermore, I don't need your unsolicited life advice.

I would disagree. Frankly, with the level of salt you emit I'd say you'd either need life advice or a pretzel. Maybe both.
Wizzleboom3 votesRanked is a joke now. It's the new normal.
Slamurai Jack3 votesNormal games are honestly so low quality that I find myself playing ranked even when just playing for fun. I'm still going to try to win but I'm definitely not going full tryhard mode all the time.

This is likely just because you don't play many normals.
Slamurai Jack1 votesIt's because I'm diamond. Once you get to higher elo, matchmaking in normals becomes totally fucked and you start seeing Diamonds laning against golds regularly. That goes about as well as you think it would. There simply aren't enough higher elo players in normals to get decent matchmaking, so you end up with games that are almost always total stomps because a silver Lux had to lane against a diamond Zed or some shit.
DaemonFury3 votesDidn't you hear? Ranked is the new normal.....
The Last Ballad2 votesI thought that was common sense... I may not care enough about League to be quite upset about a loss(except if there was a really stupid reason for it) but even I will fight to the last if losing....
Volgorath2 votesI had one guy in my ranked say "Let's have some fun guys :D", then they proceeded to pick 
support. Should have dodged.
[zombie-nunu-bummed]
Too old for this2 votesIn addition, if this statement applies to you then also don't flip when people want to play something off meta and try new things in normal games. I am fine with people doing silly things in normal games. I am just really not a fan of those who "don't want to play ranked" then they make ranked out of normal games. "report X for picking X and building X". If you don't care and are playing "just for fun" then let others do the same.
TheMadBro2 votesI agree. I have an account in gold (previously plat 4) and an account in plat 5. Both accounts have the same problem. Players play nothing but ranked and try to learn champions in ranked and these are the same players who constantly feed, show toxicity, afk, and refuse to work with the team. I do not get why they don't stay in normals or why they are so inconsiderate. Some of us do want to move up in rank and it is difficult enough without these turds throwing. Unfortunately RIOT cannot do much about this as it has to do with peoples lack of consideration/selfishness.
ReDesign2 votesThis needs to be sticky
ModAttysu The Poro2 votesWhile I do care for rank, I have to avoid ranked most of the time, because if I try and take it seriously, but mess up, and I give first blood by accident, not only am I a little tilted from my mistake but I get flamed the shit out of by people who act like they're CHALLENJOUR and we're holding them back from their true potential.
People being toxic and making Ranked, while it is suppose to be serious, a really fucking awful experience, is not what I play ranked for. I know I'm not the best; if I was I'd be Diamond+ and applying to eSports teams. But seriously, people need to get over the fact that people make mistakes, because in the end you make people not wanna fucking take ranked seriously or in my case, rarely play it at all, cause of your nasty attitude.
I know people who tend to not try in ranked because they know they'll never satisfy their teammates (lower elo, anyway,) and while I say don't play ranked if you aren't gonna be serious, I can sorta see where they're coming from.
blkh11 votesI know that first blood is important, but I have yet to see a game decided with 1 kill for the winning team and 0 for the losing team.
I would like to see a percentage of winning for games based on first blood.
You never know, it might statistically be advantageous to give first blood.

I definitely do not believe games are decided on first blood, but it is tilting to know you fucked up early; especially when your whole team rips on you for it. :/
blkh11 votesoh it sucks, let's not lie. There is no reason for a team to rip someone for giving first blood. That is the worst part of it. That tilts you more.

The Last Ballad17 votesSpeaking as a pastor's kid, this is a video game forum, and not many people are looking for religious advice here... There are times and places for spreading the faith, but please pick the ones that people will be receptive towards the message. Otherwise you give Christians the image of being outrageously pushy and risk the chance of them turning away from the faith without even giving it a chance.

BioticBrony1 votesWhat did he say? It is now deleted.
TheSingularity1 votesSoz dude, but if I'm salty at a particular champion, I'm going to play ranked so I can perma ban it. Not to say I won't try.... but don't expect me to go into FULL ULTA TRY-HARD MODE! MASTER YI STYLE! All my mates play ranked for that sole reason. To ban champions that they feel take the fun out of the game. One of them hates zed, another illaoi and another despises xin zhao. Personally, I'd rather not have a brain ache dealing with a darius/garen. They are not necessarily OP, and I've shredded em both with gnar, but they're just a pain in mah rear that I would rather banish from that area.
Ackelope5 votesThen play normal draft mode? Offers the same champion select experience and allows you to ban the same amount of people, it's literally the same thing, but you don't have people getting mad at you for not going ultra tryhard mode.
TheSingularity2 votesoce doesn't have that
Ackelope2 votesReally? Maybe Rito should be a little more consistent with the distribution of features across their regions.. Anyway, pardon my lack of awareness on the subject.
Hello I am Bird8 votesMore people play Draft than Blind now so just do normal draft
Ariel the Cruel1 votesNormal draft also doubles as a prisoners' island for a chunk of the toxic ranked community. The impact was diluted after Riot deleted Dominion, team Builder, and continues to ignore TT. Once season end rolls around and people start their mad dash for ranked rewards, it becomes a lot more obnoxious.
deadlychuck1 votesIronically i do only play normals, and i have for pretty much the whole time i've played league, i've never been interested in some arbitrary # or tag. Even still the game is just so much worse and less enjoyable than it use to be, even in recent memory.
I could play a silly build, lose a game, and still have a great time. Now it's either win or just have a shitty time trying to have fun.
Aids cuz League1 votesI remember when I started playing League at the start of Season 3 or halfway through Season 3 and I had a really good time, PvP/Bots... But just like Deadlychuck it's gotten worse, and worse on me because I am consistently stressed out, but I can't stop playing, I think hey, I can win a game today, and end up going on a 10 game loss streak no matter what queue/mode im playing. And honestly, don't play Ranked for a few reasons:
DynQ/Premades - This has been said multiple times but these groups of people and this Queue make the game especially unfun and unbalanced than just lightly unbalanced.
Borders - Get removed if you don't uphold your rank every season. Example : Gold Border Season 5, Season 6 you end up Silver, you get a silver border, Bronze, you get an icon, no border.
Hextech Crafting - Riots implementation of free skins, is quite atrocious as the system needs some tuning. You get stockpiles of chests, but a droplet of key fragments. Needing 3 fragments per chest is really extreme considering you can earn 5 chests and open 2 of them unless you are really lucky, but then you gotta hope for something new, and not something you already own. But it's a hell of a lot better than trudging through Ranked for 1 Skin.
Hextech Crafting 2 - A Victorious skin for those who trek on to Gold 5 or Higher.. Sadly this is the only way to earn this Skin, but you gotta ask yourself, is this even worth it considering I can just play Normals and try having fun and earn the rest of the skins FOR FREE(Yes, even ULTIMATE SKINS!)
Riot Noticing - The less people that play Ranked DynQ, and switch to Normal DynQ/Blind Pick will show them that their system is completely flawed and they'll possibly bring back SoloQ or pay attention to their players more.
As is, Ranked doesn't have any benefits that I care about, nor should anyone care about. And if you ARE in it for the Victorious Skin, remember it is Random, and it will probably go to someone who doesn't deserve it, or caters to #biglcsplays.
Chatillon1 votesLike sometimes when people are being super salty, I'll tell them it's just a game, but ranked you're not allowed to give up, you're reputation is on the line.
I played 3 games of ranked the other day, then 4 norms. In all but one ranked game, someone on my team went "gg" before the match had even got going. I swear, people only wanna win when it's easy. I just dont understand and it pisses me off when we lose a perfectly wineable game because cait splits bot and shit
I love league but I wish people would try
TTGOz1 votesI do only play normals because I sincerely don't care but sometimes I venture into Ranked and I really should more often but when you're on a 4-loss streak at 0LP ain't much you can do lol.
I try the whole game, never really give up unless Jungler is doing shit and not ganking/not being able to or the enemy is too coordinated compared to our efforts. But just in the end I don't really care what the outcome is. It might be until the second or third loss in a row where I might get myself slightly upset at Pixels.
SociopathFriend1 votesTruth- I've encountered way less people who are toxic in normals as well.
