Dear Riot, many things need a change.

1. Stop allowing groups to queue in solo queue. Make a new queue for them, because I am being punished every single time I play alone, as I get a duo or trio on my team that has a chip on their shoulder and ruins the game for everyone else. God forbid you tell one of them what they've done wrong, or what the team needs them to do, because they'll all gang up on you. And you might even end up getting punished by the game for it through removing hextech rewards because they inherently have 2 or 3 reports against you, not counting anyone else they can sway to also buy their bs. (and it's easier to convince others that what you say is true when you have more people parroting you.) Nearly everyone who has a penchant for acting like an idiot against their own team will be all the more inclined to do so with their friend in-game able to back them up. Happens every single game I get a duo or trio on my team. Every single one.

2. Stop removing LP for queue dodging. I almost never dodge, but today I've had a serious problem with my own team fighting each other. And just now I got into champion select where the first banner banned our ADC's choice of ADC. Commence fighting... so I did THE RIGHT THING and dodged the queue... only to lose 11 LP for it. Why in the hell would you punish someone for this? There's already a timer to wait out, was a second tier of punishment really necessary for something that isn't really a problem?

3. Go back to the old ELO system if you cannot think of something better... this needing to win a best of 3 series to advance, but only needing one loss to move backwards in tiers makes NO sense. None at all. This game is a TEAM game. Someone who focuses only on champion kills and therefore throws the game when they chase too far late in the game can still often receive an A or S rating and justify to themselves that they're the best and its everyone with less kills who is the problem. It encourages people to do the wrong things for their team. Which brings me to my next point...

4. Remove the scoreboard entirely. It encourages people to worry about their Kills to Deaths ratio, not focus on objectives. It's also always the crutch of the player who might have a "positive" score but who otherwise doesn't ever group with the team and things of that nature. Just remove it. It serves no purpose but to brag. Which is itself a lead in to the next point...

5. This new grading system is terrible. You actually implemented a reward system for people who only worry about the scoreboard. I've seen time and time and time again where a Garen or something of the like goes 12/2/2 and gets a goddamn S in spite of the fact that they were the entire reason for the team losing. They were so because they wouldn't stop chasing enemy champions for kills, ignoring map objectives and being unable to teamfight as they're way out of position. But they get REWARDED for this. Did you seriously think this was a good idea? Seriously? Truly, you seriously did? SMH.

6. Your matchmaking system makes NO sense. There is no way that it's coincidence that I always get the team with 2 or more people who have no idea how to play while facing 0. What are you even doing?

Now, I'm fully prepared for a whole lot of mouthbreathers to just say things like "you're bad lol" "the only constant between all your games is you" and equally dumb things... so just save it. If you want to denounce what I've said, then do so with actual points. Have been playing off and on since beta. I reached gold early, in the initial ELO system, and platinum in 2013... I've played this game a CRAPLOAD so I feel confident in saying the things I've said. The fact is that this game has gotten worse since it launched. No ifs ands or buts about it... it's just worse every update. Riot, you have a tendency to punish people who merely say bad words and let people who intentionally troll their own teammates to go on to new games to do the same nonsense. I see this WAY too often, almost every single game I'm in my team devolves into a self-defeating mess of garbage. The way you've structured the game and the reward/punishment system have created a perfect storm of nonsense and decline.

I'm not going to bother checking back in here, as it's likely only going to be a bunch of idiots flaming me. Riot, I've said what I need to say. I have enjoyed the mechanics of this game since launch. I want to enjoy the game again... but until you actually do some work on restructuring things, the worst of the worst people will continue to infect every game with their awfulness. Do something.
