Riot, I need your help

Doctor Fillgood··1 votes·406 views

I know I'll be flamed, trolled, told how terrible I am and all that based on my game record.

Riot...please do something about match making. It has been so abysmal this season it's easily made this the least enjoyable experience I can recall ever having in any game I've played. I'm not saying it's duoQ, it may or may not be...but this has been so much worse then anything I've ever had to deal with in SoloQ that it blows my mind. The trolls run rampant for me, and the lack of people who honestly understand how teamwork should work is shocking.

There have been so few games that I've played that came down to loosing/winning based on plays or anything along those lines that it almost feels like playing, participating and attempting to do anything in the game is worthless now. I main support, because God knows we don't have enough, and bot lane is rampant with people who are just learning what game we're playing...I have to depend on teamwork in the team game. I feel like I'm punished for playing a roll that needs people to play it.

Please, I'm begging you, look into your match making, do something...I want to enjoy league again, at least to a degree where I can start a game thinking we have a chance rather then knowing I'm completely screwed upon hitting the button to play a game since most of the people I know don't play ranked...

Sincerely, A desperate summoner

Well the system in place ready matches you to people at similar levels as you. And i completely agree that there are alot of trolls and flamers out there. Probably due to the younger kids that play this game. However, i assure you that if you play ranked and get to plat and up, the team work is so much better and theres alot less flamers and trolls, (although theres still some). Im not sure what rank you are but if your stuck in elo hell then just slowly grind your way out! good luck to ya and dont give up on this great game (: [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

It isn't that it's just trolls. It's people who honestly don't know what they're doing. There's a difference between a bad game, being insulting, and honestly watching team mates just flop around or make the same mistakes over and over and over. I know I do this sometimes, but for the love of Christ, I know I don't just throw every single game I play. Once the enemy drops a tower, they just team up while my team refuses to really get together. After that, we specify goals and prepare to do them, and the team wanders off doing their own thing again. This is virtually every game.

When more then 70% of the games you're in are being lost just because of a complete lack of teamwork and the opposing team is just outright more skilled across the board, or just using better champs...how do I get out of this terrible situation? Like I said, I know I'm far from perfect, but trying to play a game against opponents who at mid/late game outshine me because of how fed they are just ends up getting me killed over and over, especially when I'm the initiator and my team refuses to fight, or doesn't understand to follow to wrap up and clean up a fight.

I either need advice on what to do, as I'm probably playing against people around my skill (perhaps a bit better, perhaps a bit worse) but around my skill none the less. A lot of my team mates, not all, are clearly not anywhere near being ranked ready.

The game is becoming VERY unfun to attempt to play ranked anymore, it's horrible. I'm to the point I log in, play one game, log out because I'm so God damned tired of being shit on for a lack of teamwork.

I miss last season, soloQ wasn't great, and yeah there where a nauseating amount of trolls....but it wasn't nearly this bad for me, and the only place Riot seems to be looking is in higher ranked areas to fix it, meaning, nothing seems to be intended to fix around my area. No I'm not the center of the universe, but it's obvious something has to be looked at here, this is a nightmare and makes me want to find another MOBA to play despite having enjoyed LoL for the time I've playn.

Can we stop with "It's just normals" or playing while drunk/high?

Won a game v. a Darius and it didn't count on "Meet the Warband." Riot, it broke, just a heads up.
