Every promo, things like this happens.

As you can see, we had a Jinx support. As you can tell, it worked very well.

How do you climb the ladder when you get to promotion matches, and all you can do is watch as your "team mates" are doing things that completely throw the game? By the time I left lane everyone had fed so much that I couldn't fight. Then more time is wasted as you try to surrender but they just continue trolling and hit no no no. What are you supposed to do?!

People tell me to just keep playing, and I love this game, but I can't just keep playing because by the time I win my 2 or 3 games to get back to my promo (again/again/again), I have to go to bed for work. Then I wait till the weekend to play my best performance since I'm kinda tired after work. Then this happens again, and I have to climb back up to promotions again and wait again.

This is a serious problem! Ranked isn't taken seriously and it should be! We shouldn't be allowed to just free-roam into ranked and do whatever we want and throw the game so bad to where people who actually play and commit to try are punished by losing points for their "team mates" intentional mistakes. That's not fair.

And you can't dodge in champion select when you see Jinx support locked in during promotions because it's a loss.

And you can't leave the game when people don't surrender because you will get banned.

So you have to just sit there and farm. Then get camped by everyone they fed, then watch them try to 1v5 as they keep talking in chat.

I try to do the things that people have already told me to do, like keep trying or report them and move on, etc. But after this happens over and over, it's like, okay, how much time am I going to commit towards dealing with this?

I can stop playing, but like I said, I do enjoy this game, and I want to play against players of my level. But do I deserve the position I am in because of people that go 1/14 support Jinx? AFK? Intentionally flame the team so they do poorly because they didn't get the role they want?

I wish I knew how to go 10/0/0 with 100 cs at 10 minutes every game so I can just 1v5 and carry myself to the top, but not every game is the same, but player behaviors seem to be the same, and those behaviors result in major losses, causing people who care to really study and play not to be able to play with people at their level.

And you can't bring stuff up like this at all because people don't give much constructive criticism besides the usual stuff or, "It's just a game." Which is true. But people say stuff like that at work too, "It's just this or that, why do you care so much?" -- Uh, because it's my job and I care about doing well?

I don't think it's even just the game, it's just people in general with these behaviors being allowed to participate in life with the rest of us who actually care to learn.
