League of Legends Rank System is Unfun.

Basically what I mean is that the ranking system in low elo mostly is based mostly on luck, more than it should be. Its also incredibly painful and difficult to climb out. Most of the game is decided before you enter the champion select. The "Noobs" "Trollers" "Feeders", these are all decided for you before you even join the game.

So basically in bronze in comes down to "What team has the less feeders and trollers and ragers". Not only is this incredibly demoralizing the second you start thinking about it, but then you notice that the League system goes out of its way to make it even harder to climb.

For example, you gain 15 LP, and then you lose 25 LP, because the game doesnt like you for some reason. Furthermore this makes it super easy for a player who is on "tilt" to go bronze being bronze 1 all the way to bronze 3. Undoing what could possibly have been months of hard work and trying to climb in a few hours.

Another affect this has is the creation of a type of League player. The "Rager", "Troll" and "AFK". However this does not take in to account people who are naturally ragers or trolls, this just takes into account a normal league player who is changed.

For the Rager, basically, they've lost so many games, they dont want to lose another, and if it looks like they are losing, they lash out at their teammates, verbally abusing them. These people are when you think about are victims of other ragers and the system. Furthermore, the rager is a step in the direction of the Troll.

Basically, the Troll just doesnt really care anymore, hes resigned himself to staying in Bronze forever, and he hates it, so therefore he will resign himself to bringing down his teammates, and won’t hesitate to feed, he still plays League Rank, on the offchance that he might get lucky and climb a little.

The "GG AFK', out of all of the others, this one would be the most broken out of them all, hes at the point that hes lost so many games, and failed so many times, that even the slightest failure will set them off into feeling like they just wasted more time, they will then proceed to afk because they simply to have the effort anymore to try to come back in a game they "think" is lost, even if it really isn't.

I would go into the issue with pickorder and getting the roles and champs you want, but teambuilder rank is heading our way, so I’m not gonna bother.

There is so much wrong with the League of Legends Ranked System. So much has to change, ive only listed some of the effects of the current Ranked system off the top of my head.

So, im not really expecting any change, or anything to happen because of my post. I just wanted to make it known.

In this thread I will give you the only thing you ever need for climbing.

Good Luck, hope you climb.

P.S. Play Rank Team, its very fun and it literally eliminates every single bad element of rank. I’m gonna just start playing only rank team. It’s competitive but fun, and after playing a bit of it, I realize, I don’t feel nearly as upset and mad after losing, maybe it’s because I can say with 100% certainty “they deserved to win, they were better”, something I’ve never said in solo q.
