Ranked

I have never been a proponent of the " I dont belong in bronze " band wagon, but honestly there are some very realistic things that are wrong with the ranked system, and they do not just apply to bronze. Bronze just happens to be the ELO everyone associates with bad players, so any complaint is just ignored. Honestly, some bronze players are idiots. As with some Silver, Gold, Plat, Diamond, Master and Challenjour.

However despite stereotypes there is one thing that needs to be changed: LP and Provisionals. I have been through about 7 provisionals in bronze 1. ATLEAST 2, and often more of my games include someone who AFKs or trolls. Yet for some reason, Riot has yet to really do anything about this. Sure there is leaver buster and you can report but honestly if that was so efficient why does the community still have thousands and thousands of these players?

I am aware this is not something that can be just changed with the click of a button, but can riot please do something to compensate the teams that have to suffer through an AFK or a troll? It really is hard to play in any ELO and not just bronze where stuff like this exist. I would love to climb the ladder as I know I can, and I am sure other players can, but this frankly is a very big hinderance.

Just a tip from a silver player here. if you want to climb out of bronze, not dying 9 times every game will get you a lot further than complaining about afks.

No, you came here to ask Riot to indirectly boost your account. Just letting you know, you can get out of Bronze with far less drastic (and far more probable) measures.

Where in any of these above words have I ever implied that riot should boost my account? I said AFK and Troll players are a huge problem in ranked and that needs to change, whether that be changing how provisionals and LP works or something else. Dont be a little bitch and put words in my mouth

If it had nothing to do with your Elo, then why did you dedicate a paragraph to it? You quite clearly said that you're stuck in your division because of AFKs.

I very clearly indicated that AFKS AND TROLLS ARE A BIG FUCKING PROBLEM. I happened to use my situation as an example. The guy above even mentioned he had the same thing happen. What the hell is with your elitest bullshit? You are only silver.

I had 4 AFKS on my team in my 10 Unranked Games, and I'm not happy about it but I wouldn't change the system. Provisionals and LP are fine, just gotta get rid of the toxic players. I can tell you also feel this way, as you're topic violently changed to these AFKS and trolls.
