Climbing solo queue has become a Job to these people instead of a game... It's no longer fun for them.
I keep seeing posts saying "All the hard work" we have put into ranking up... and now it's all gone.
At what point did you start investing so much of your life into this game that you feel psychologically defeated because it gets reset?
Food for thought...
<3 you guys 
i like playing a free game that i can accomplish things on. I can spend 8 hours playing a mmo and accimplish nothing or i can play league thats free
it is silly because their seasonal "accomplishments" are summed up with their seasonal rewards - their loading border, icon and stuff. after that it's a new cycle again and if they agreed to participate by playing the placements they should prove their rank again

At what point did you become a sad human being who seeks to feel better about himself by tearing others down.
Come down off that high horse.
Part of the progress and improvement is the allure of ranked.
I just hate getting placed in Plat 1 or 2 every season. It's always a shit show every year. I feel like we're cockroaches scrambling on top of each other to get back to our respective elos.
Psychologically? Uh what?
Doesn't bother me about the resets, it feels more to me like a 'you did it once, twice, thrice, whatever, prove it again it wasn't a fluke' type of thing.
think of league of legends like a physical sport. people play it for fun but in the end it is still competitive. think of playing basketball, if you play an one-sided round you are going to get very frustrated. with league the actions of four people you cannot control directly affect what you can and cannot do. this leads to some games where the player never stood a chance to accomplish their victory. in placements it is much worse, your placement games is what decides your rank. one paper your rank is who good you theoretically are. its one of the most frustrating experience to be tolled you are not as good at something as you though (or once were). placements however always feel one-sided (regardless of which side it is) which can build even more frustration when someone thinks they should fall right into x rank. think of ranked league as a proving ground more then something one does for fun. sorry for the ramble XD
