Ranked flex trolls, one sided games, negative attitudes

Undeterrable·11/12/2016, 12:54:53 AM·4 votes·2,552 views

Title first of all im not a negative player i have never been banned in any way form or shape.

But how am i suppoed to contain my rage when i spent all season earning Lp to reach plat to suddenly be placed in "silver 5" for ranked flex with gold team mates when it seems my opponents are plat 1/diamond on occasion etc, dont get me wrong i enjoy a hard game if its balanced with both teams being skilled.

Aside from this several games i have lost due to trolls building only armor on purpose or my favorite mid intentionally feeding the entire game i solo carry as AP mao jungle, to watch my mid lane who was at nexus with me and the support suicide into the spawn fountain so we could not end, on the topic of not ending another game as akali we ace them but my team suicides into the enemy spawn fountain then we lose, im starting to lose my good sportsmanlike personality.

I do not believe rank has a huge bearing but several games plat 1s vs low golds, watching my entire team feed really hard while i go legendary against my totally fair low gold opponents to be 100 to 0 by akali six times before the game ends.

How am i supposed to reach my real elo with all this unbalanced nonsense.

Its rough. People intentionally feed in ranked and say "Its just pre season." Smh.

Isn't the highest placement rank possible Plat 5? That's going to shift everyone down ~2 divisions, particularly on the high end of the spectrum, until people start playing enough for the ladder to sort itself out.

The MMR for the queue is going to be messed up for a while due to that "compression" type effect, resulting in lopsided games at the start.

As for the trolls/feeders/other nonsense, that's why I don't intend to play Flex Queue for another few weeks. The ladder will be in a better position by then, and the trolls will likely have gotten board of their trolling (unless they transferred from EUNE and view trolling EUW Flex queue as payback...)

its not so much the shift its the huge difference in game consistency

well flex queue seems to have it's own separate MMR ladder so everyone started around the exact same MMR without taking into consideration what you had before. Could be wrong but that's how it feels

I just had a game where a Veigar stopped playing because jungler didn't give blue buff. The game was highly winnable, except the fact that the Quinn jungler also made no effort to participate in the game. So at that point 3v5 became too hard.

This is one example out of many games, Riot can't keep on top of these toxic / baby ragers. Whether it's ranked flex, SoloQ, Dynamic Q. It doesn't matter, these people will always be a part of the game. Some games are just unwinnable.

Unless Riot started monitoring all games and temp / perm banning everyone, which simply isn't feasable. It's sad that a player like Tyler1 gets banned for his behavior, but others remain unpunished, simply because they do not have the same level of exposure.

RIP League of Legends 2016.
