Enough is Enough Riot
Alright Riot, here goes, giving no fucks about you because you give no fucks about players trying to do well, playing hard. You give no fucks about low ELO players...like me...I was determined to do better this season. To play hard in ranked, and have fun in norms. And you know what I found, the same ol shit. The same shitty matchmaking. The same shitty players. The same AFK's. You have done NOTHING to curb this problem. Who really gives a fuck about the summoners code when it means nothing as it isn't worth living up to. When you fix the problem of AFK players, and downright bad players, you will have far less players getting upset at other players. It is you Riot, who is causing the problems. It is you Riot causing players to rage at other players. Being outplayed is one thing. Allowing players to queue up in ranked and they don't have 5 wins in normals! But its ok, they bought 15 champs, play ranked! Fucking pathetic. "Leave no noob behind" WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. If they are a noob, they can only get better on their own! I can't play for them. Sure, tips and pointers. So what? All of a sudden, "I got a tip, I'm not a noob anymore, I'ma play ranked! YAH!" And then, because I wanted to climb out low ELO...I still get seeded with them. And because you thought it was a good idea to put even more emphasis on previous ranking, failing to understand how much better a player can get being stuck in low elo, that player can't get himself into a solid position for this season because of dead weight. The only reason that player couldn't get out may be because of terrible matchmaking! I see it all the time. One player, maybe 2 on my team or the other that do consistently well, strong CS, and cant carry a 3 man scrub squad. Especially not in ranked, when it seems that all 5 of the other players have it together. Hey Riot, ever think that maybe, just maybe, actually emphasizing INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE in NORMALS as well as RANKED can allow players to get better seeding. You call it a team game, and that it is. BUT INDIVIDUALS PLAY THE GAME AND INDIVIDUALS MAKE PLAYS IN THE GAME! DUH! So, a real example for you. Recently, I played a provisional game. The ADC failed to reach 100 CS in 28:49! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! In a ranked game, where some players are actually trying to get outa low elo for better competition, there are players that destroy their own team. This to me is unacceptable. And the AFK problem. Sure the game could be lost or won for that matter. And people would abuse the lost prevented and go AFK even though they were already losing. PLAYERS WHO AFK, NEED STRICT HARSH PUNISHMENT in ranked. See this is where I laugh at the hypocritical Riot. "Oh team game, team game"...ok Riot, you say so. Yet, it is an individual leaving, destroying the team. The team more than likely loses a 4v5 ranked game, from which ELO is destroyed. All because of one person. Yet Riot won't put that much weight (the outcome of a game) on one person in game playing very well. So, if one person leaving can decide the outcome of a game, why can't one players performance in a game be weighted more heavily. Why does Riot just say, well you went 5-5 in your provisionals. Doesn't matter that 3 of the 5 losses were due to people leaving. You are still Silver 5. Why would I spend any money on your product, when your product produces shit. The fact is, performance in normals should have a heavier effect on ranking matchmaking. Also, this could eliminate the "try hard" attack as it would be expected to be trying hard in both normals and ranked. And players who play normals who can't achieve, simply can't queue into ranked. Too bad so sad. When they can distinguish themselves in normals, ranked play follows. Then its truly no noob left behind. Because they will no longer be a noob, they will have reached their own goals and joined the pack. By grooming them, you are automatically helping them help themselves without hurting ranked positioning. And more would be expected of them, and everything that "noob" had to go through to get to play ranked would be known. And it would be the same. And people couldn't just say "o u suck" because they had to have a certain skill level just to be there. But you know what? I know this falls on deaf ears. Because Riot, all you really give a fuck about are dollar signs, and image. Not happy players. The game is fun. There is no denying that. But you make it soooooooooo unenjoyable. Riot fail.
