Progression within the ranked system is frustrating but a brilliant marketing strategy

Hi,

I am a 22 y/o pissed off registered nurse who is dumbfounded by the progression in the ranked system, here is why.

Coming from plat last season I thought I would play my provisional games before I headed to work overseas but little did I know it turned out to be the biggest fucking waste of my time. After going 1/9 in games I was placed in silver 4, now at this point I was already so fucking annoyed on how retarded every other player in my games were but this put me over the edge.

However it is a brilliant market strategy, by placing you so low from your previous rank it gives you a false goal to work towards which MAKES you play even more games. This in turn strengthens their player numbers, the general spread of the game and of course the purchasing of Riot Points.

For me playing ranked has become nothing more than a chore and lucky for you Riot I only still play because my friends play. Why the fuck do I have to spend all of this time climbing two whole tiers to simply get back where I started. You may ask why I don't play normal queue and this is because I hate mirror match ups but hilariously people are more welcome and cooperative.

I now fucking hate this game with a passion but Rito doesn't care because they already have my money and that is what any business is about, don't even try to argue that. Here is my match hx if you want to see an utter joke: http://oce.op.gg/summoner/userName=soulstorm10 . Before you go "oh but KDA doesn't matter" or " lel xD just another whiney kid who isnt good enough to climb" yes it absolutely does contribute to winning the game. You can't get towers or objectives if the enemy team is up so you logically kill them or force them out of lane. I always try go for objectives where feasible but it is incredibly hard when everyone just wants to TDM all the fucking time. I generally stomp lane, get the bot tower +/- drag, group for tower pushes but everyone else just decides to overextend without vision and die. Oh and if I am consistently versing high silver or low gold at least just fucking automatically put me there or let me verse people in my own division so I can shit on them and climb faster.

The general game direction is also something which is backwards and ludicrous. I understand they need to balance patches around competitive play because millions of dollars are in play however at least think of the 99% when you make decisions. The recent AD changes are disgusting and a plethora of toxic champions combined with clear favorites run rampant in this game.

Currently installing Dota 2, I have talked with my friends and they feel the same, you have lost more customers. Also I will be telling future people to not download this cesspool of a game, at least for its ranked queue anyway.

I have dealt with a variety of people in my so far short career but I guarantee you this game and community is absolutely the worst thing I have ever seen logically and personality wise so far.

I will be impressed if anyone has read this. I needed to vent and you are lucky I am taking it out here rather than random people in queue.

Tomorrow will be my last games for hopefully forever.

Update: As I finish writing this I finished with 14/3/5 as Jhin with an enemy toxic/feeder Yasuo on their team, I flamed their yasuo for being a tool and realistically neither of us give a shit because neither of us are going to get banned. The worst part is I lost LP for that yet he climbs.
