Ranked Conspiracy Theory

fanboye··2 votes·599 views

Disclaimer: I know everyone is in the elo they belong, this isn't 1000% serious.

I have been playing for a few years now, and I am just like 80% of the population, Bronze AF. Last season I tried to get much better, and this season I finally placed higher than Bronze 5. I quickly grinded from Bronze 3 to Bronze 1, and I have been stuck there ever since.

I feel like the number of flamers and feeders has risen exponentially since rising 2 sub-divisions. It's strange, but every single game I have been berated, and this is something I expect from this community, but not at the magnitude that I have been receiving it. I feel like (and here is the conspiracy theory) in order to get to Silver 5, Riot is hazing me by making me get good enough to carry an entire team on my back against Silvers. I always feel less cohesive than the enemy team. This pattern has become more prevalent in Bronze 1.

Share your climbing nightmares, tell me I'm not crazy xD I'm probably not crazy, I'm just Bronze 1 in skill item 3070 item 3070

Every V and I division are fucked because you're getting a mix of the people climbing and the people falling in rank. Just pray you get more people trying to climb and less tilting because they were just demoted on your team.

The entire ranked system is fucked. It's not competitive nor is it setup in such a way to allow you to reach your potential as a Solo player. Playing in a 5 man is near impossible as it's mostly scheduling conflicts as nobody really considers this a sport and yet they queue up into ranked play and clog up the ladder for players who do consider it a sport and are trying to get better and noticed to play pro.

Bronze was the worst it has ever been this season. I've been paired with people with a legit 8% win rate who STILL mouthed off. I even got one of my secondary accounts permabanned after a triple AFK day and a 22-5 stomp that our team swore we still had a chance in. I always thought the gap between Bronze V to Bronze 1 was huge but it got worse this season as they cut down the time it took to get to level 30.

The game in Bronze is luck based on who has the least amount of trolls or AFK's. Little else.
