Sweet Jesus I just started playing ranked.....

So I've been playing league since the end of s4, and I have typically stayed away from ranked because I mostly didn't care, I got to silver and stopped really even playing ranked, this is the first season I intend to play more than 40 games in ranked, and sweet Jesus.....

.let me lead my first complaint off by saying that I am grad student beginning a field in which I work a lot with children and I have just began working with them, now with that being said, there is literally no difference in how I deal with them, and how I deal with them and how I deal with some clowns in ranked....I play a game with the kids one gets upset because the other does something they don't like and they get upset and ruin the game for the other kids and then someone needs to calm them down....and tell them it isn't that big of a deal and that it's not going to impact there life that much(paraphrasing of course) fast forward to when I play a game that evening on league someone gets pissed off and flames the twisted fate for pushing a wave top that was clearing going to be cleared by the tower, because there tp was down.....then I have to tell them that everything is going to be fine and it likely isn't going to impact there lives/the game that much..... Complaint 2-if you're going to play a hard carry champ that is feast or famine like say pantheon.....could you please at least get to the point where you are winning most lanes in normal or at least have mastery 5 before you "hard carry" yourself to 8/18....but this seems like a bigger issue with the solo queue mentality I.e. If I don't carry myself my team won't.....well if pantheon had played almost any other champion that has some sort of utility when behind we probably win the game ( yes I understand there are things that I likely could have done different as well), it would be interesting to see a mastery floor you have to acheieve before playing ranked like lvl 5 or so. (Of course then I wouldn't get other people first timing Lucian/draven against me either)

You may ask yourself "does he understand the irony in this post?" And the answer is yes, yes I do, in the long run none of this will deeply impact my life in any real way, and everything is going to be fine XD.

An appropriate analogy. Usually getting yourself a few kills calms teammates down.

Just /mute all if this happens. Most of the time when you try to reason with them it gets worse and will make you tilt.
