This ELO-reset into ELO-Hell - so unfair I might consider quitting.
I am not sure if Riot even plays their own ranked mode enough. Climbing below Plat is not fun. Climbing is a side effect of carrying a heapload of trolls and toxics until you finally, FINALLY reach a level of play that is not absolutely flooded with garbage.
You know how happy I was when I finally reached plat and started having ACTUAL GOOD HIGH QUALITY GAMES?
Well, now I'm in Gold 4 again, and guess what, just now I had a Soraka who went on tilt after dieing once due to her own incompetence (seriously, it was visible from even toplane that it was her own fault), flamed the adc and then started intentionally feeding and finally afked. And this was by far not the first toxic I encountered since the reset.
And now. I have to do all that climbing. AGAIN?!
Seriously Riot, this might be the first time in more than six years I actually think of quitting the game. The thought alone of having to deal with all of that AGAIN is just... I want to have FUN playing this game. Instead, it is a dreading chore in the hope that I FINALLY MAYBE reach a level where there are less toxics. This is not why I am here.
I mean, it would be handable if you would actually punish trolls and I could be sure that with every toxic I report I actually get that moron banned - but if I look people up and see ten consecutive games of itentional feed and loss, or even more, and then no punishment whatsoever, then all I can assume is that you WANT low ELO to be a pool of salt, and that your game philosophy is to make players like me feel as misrable as possible. Sounds ridiculous, but that that's what it feels like.
And the excuses I get to read in the Player Behavior section are ridiculous as hell. If you see an account getting reported in ten consecutive games then it should be AUTOMATICALLY be sent to a manual review. If what Riot says is true and "really only a very, very small minorty is toxic" (good joke btw lol), then checking that shouldn't be a problem. Right? RIGHT?!
