Some Issues I've Noticed With Ranked

1. Penalty Against Trolled Teams

We've all been there. The guy who bitches at the jungler while purposely throwing themselves under turret fire with two items (one being boots) against a guy who is three levels ahead. Then he just starts to feed his arse off like the enemy is celebrating Thanksgiving. Or the people who take Tryndamere support and swear they could have got you fed and won easily. It's obvious if three members of your team report a player for intentionally screwing a game over, there needs to be some reprieve or forgiveness since Riot clearly isn't STOPPING The people who do this. If it's a norms, that's one thing. But on a competitive basis, such as ranked, why is it just ignored when people constantly bomb a game for everyone else. It's not even rewarding to win a game with an enemy troll.

2. After about 12:00 - 1:00 Matchmaking takes a nosedive

I'm paired with people who can't cs, can't ping mia, feed religiously, and rage and quit more than any time of the day. It's not even remotely relevant to myself or my skill of play. I just find myself pouring kerosene on my keyboard and crying because I can't do anything about a 1/9 mid, a support who cares less about vision and more about stealing farm, or someone who fell behind and just keeps... diving... in... It's always at night. Which is really the only time I have to play. During the day, fair, balanced, level-headed people. What the hell does matchmaking do after hours? Smoke dank weed and fuck bitches?

3. Letting Summoners Enter Rift without a Keystone Mastery

This is something that completely bothers me. It's apparent this person belongs in Wood 3, or has never actually touched the client before. Riot preached about how Keystones would be the absolute most game changing thing in the world this season. So why let summoners join a RANKED GAME without one equipped? It should be mandatory. Enforced to the point that this person be removed from matchmaking until they can select a page with a keystone equipped. It immediately favors the enemy team with an unfair advantage.

All in all, Riot has a shit ton of work left to do on the ranking system. Reprieve from trolls, improved matchmaking, harsher penalties on trolls and feeders as far as elo/mmr goes, and enforcing keystone masteries. I'm just losing all interest in this game.
