Has the punishment "banned from ranked" ever been considered? And if so ----
Could someone explain why it wasn't implemented? I feel like riot treats playing league like a privilege where if you screw up then they insta punish you. We can argue about whether or not they actually enforce punishments or not but thats neither here nor there.
But they treat ranked like it's a god given right where players are allowed to la dee dah all they want because tee hee. Isn't ranked supposed to be a competitive environment where people are supposed to be playing to win? Not crit sona. Not kassadin top. Not swain adc. Not janna jungle. Not first time sion. I understand if you aren't 100% comfortable with your pick or if you're going against the grain with something a little off meta. But there's a fucking line that nobody wants to address where if you cross it you shouldn't be allowed to play ranked.
DISCLAIMERS (ik its at the end of the post but I'm just writing as i think of it)
- I'm fine with off meta picks that you've played in normals. People should be allowed to play the champions they like and feel comfortable with.
- I'm fine with people having bad games, or going 1/8 or something. Those are unavoidable and it's understandable if someone gets tilted. It happens to everyone and we shouldn't condemn people for not playing at max capacity every game.
- I'm fine with people not having the same desire to win as me, to a degree. As long as their goal is to win and they're trying to do that. But when they start doing the thing where they turn on the click-bot and just afk farm the lanes... that should be considered afking or throwing.
The main question i guess is if playing league in general is a privilege, then why isn't playing ranked a privilege in its own right? Everyone should be allowed to play it at first obviously. People who say "you shouldn't be allowed ranked until you have a msatery 5" are stupid. But punishments in ranked should be MUCH more strict and apply only to ranked to uninsentivize (is that a word?) trolling and screwing around in the game mode where the point is to do the exact opposite.
