If you play ranked, listen to the team and GROUP UP

SnugglePuggle94··2 votes·271 views

I have about had it with these people in ranked. I just got promoted to Bronze 4 last week. Got up to around 60 pts. Steadily started to lose it. In my last 3 ranked games, one yesterday and two today, I lost every singe one and am now at 0 pts. Every single one of those games, the team would not listen and would not group up. They kept getting picked off and then aced. It is beyond bullshit stupid how the matchmaking system places us in these types of games. If I lose one or two more, I get demoted into the same rank I fought so hard to get out of.

So, listen to your group. If you are jungle, freaking have some dragon awareness. Ward it. Keep an eye on the timer. My last game our jungler died so many times just trying "to get us fed" as he called it. Never went for dragon except once. Olaf wanted to keep split pushing. Team gets caught out and we can't do much at all cause we don't have enough people. Ekko gets a pentakill because of his stupid ass mobility and completely ridiculous ult. I'm Nidalee and healing people as I can while trying to do damage at the same time.

I am beyond mad and just completely tired of the types of people I get in ranked. So if you are one that does this type of crap, stop it. Work on getting better. Don't be a troll. Play ranked in a spot that you have good internet connection so you don't go AFK. Listen to the team, push objectives, watch out for your ADC. Group up when it's needed. Maybe then people will win more ranked games and the toxicity will go down.

Then take a break.

Grouping isn't always the best during low elo either as the other team may have a far superior wombo combo. Plus in low elo not many people target the correct opponent during team fights.

Remember: in the LCS teams pick teams that work together. In solo queue people select champions that they want to play if they are comfortable on the champion or not. That means you may have a game in which you do not have any CC (or you don't have hard CC), you're all squishy, you're all tanky, you have a great wombo combo, etc. I cannot tell you how many times I've had teams that get very angry that we aren't grouping up, but we're all decently squishy with low mobility. For example, Ashe, Sona, Ekko, Leblanc, and Gangplank versus Galio, Sejuani, Morgana, Tristana, and Fiora... that is a bad team fight even with the best players.

Play carry champs.. I mean, in all seriousness, play champions that can solo carry games. Tryndamere Rengar Annie Riven Vayne Katarina Fiora Fizz Ahri Akali Looking at your match history, you seem to have a good sense of item builds (which most bronze 4 players DONT) So i'ma give you the benefit of the doubt and say you probably arn't a bronze 4 player. So just stop playing these "i wana get my team fed with x champion" type of champs. Example LeeSin being built as a tanky play making peeler w.e you wana call it, (tank items) is not reliable.

TL;DR Carry yourself and your team, only relying on your own decisions. Don't try to get your team fed so they can carry you.

I work on getting fed myself, and help my teammates if I can, like using my mana to heal others with Nidalee, even though I could've been a bitch and just saved my mana to spam my Q. But I didn't.

As for the carry champs, I play them if I can counter the other laner and if I get my lane I want. But not always, I like to switch things up and play those I haven't played in ranked before but have in normals a lot.

I've played the carry champs a lot in ranked, and I don't always win either.

Gotta disagree with your last statement. The amount of wins and losses experienced in the game will never shift ratio wise, since 5 people always win and 5 people always lose (In Summoners rift) The toxicity won't change at all because of that lol

Toxicity goes up in ranked. I've seen it. Maybe if teams did as I said, and more people won, then many people who keep getting angry won't do it as much.

I agree with ranked being more toxic. But what I'm saying is that if your team wins, that still means that the 5 people on the other team still lost. So overall, the amount of people who get angry still wouldn't change.

You can't have "More people win" games. Because the same amount of people lose them at the same time. How many people win and lose can't be a factor of toxic behavior because of this. If you're not dealing with the toxicity, the other team is lol.

Then I don't know. I'm just trying to get people to play better.
