Ranked climb.
Hello ! I am here to talk about a certain topic, and ask a couple of questions. I was wondering how the ranked ladder actually works ? I've been playing this game for over 5 years now, and i still have problems to understand the ranked queue. Anyway, i just wanted to make a statement, from my own experience. So. I am playing this game, every day, for 3-4 hours, mostly its ranked, because i want to improve. And to be honest, I've been improving ever since i started playing rankeds. But there is one thing that kinda makes ranked unenjoyable. For example : I am playing my games, and every time im beeing place with bad/worse players. - Why is that ? Basicly, every game, i am the one who has to carry my team. And i am not good at it every time, but I am trying my best. Even tho i keep on rising my MMR, i am still beeing placed with players who are worse. I got placed Bronze 2 season 8, and i climbed all the way to Platinum 5, and ended the season there. But i couldnt get any higher, since people kept griefing, and beeing toxic. In preseason, i got dragged down all the way to gold 3, but I never lost a game because of a bad KDA, or not knowing what my role in the game does. I can say, that ive been bad at some games, but not all of them. And im beeing kept in lower elo, even tho i dont deserve it, because I know im worth playing in higher elo. Ive been playing on my friends accounts, who are higher elo (diamond,master) and I havent had any problems with it. So my question is - Why, if you are good enough to play in higher elo, you are beeing kept/dragged down, by players who are worse than you ? I am putting my all into this, every game I am trying really hard to win, but still, someone just minds to lose the game for it : Either they just run it down, flame eachother and get an attitude and then proceed to intentionaly feed the enemy team, or they just leave the game. Why cant I be placed with people who have the same intentions as I do ? I've played over 1000 games in ranked solo queue at season 8. And lost over 500. I can admit that 100 of those games, may be my fault. But i never flamed anyone with no reason, neither i griefed to lose the game on purpose. So my question is - Why, if you are playing to rise you'r elo, enjoy the future games with people who actualy care about the game and try to improve, instead you get placed with players who dont care, flame, run it down etc. Ive been wondering about this for 2 years now, and i think that its time for me to get some answers. Also, no metter what role i play or how good I play, I always lose. Despite the fact that I am actually trying, there always be a player, in my game, who will just grief just so we would lose. To be honest, when I come home from a long day of work, sit down to enjoy some league of legends, and then get queued up with people like that every times, it just makes me wonder why am I still playing this game ? Since it doesnt metter if you improve or try your best. You will still lose, and you will still get deranked. MMR : My MMR is falling down every time i lose a game, and it rises up every time i win. But why am i, supose to feel all the pressure from the bad players, every game, lose ! And my MMR gets worse, i get deranked, and i keep on falling. How is it my fault that they are just bad, and they'r attitude is just unbelievable at some point. Get queued up with people worse than you > Lose the game > MMR drops > Get queued up with even worse players next game > Lose it. And so it just keeps on going. Please give me some answers, because I really dont enjoy playing this game anymore. And im not speaking only for myself, I know people that are suffering from the same issue, so id like to deliver some answers to them aswel. Thank you.
