Hello everyone, I'm writing this article to detail my overall poor experience I have been seeing during gameplay. The past 10 games have been an absolute nightmare in ranked SoloQ. I've been playing league of legends for 4 years, and I must say I've never seen so many griefing,toxic, crybabies this season than any other.

My theory is that since league of legends has evolved from a strategy based team game into a casual gaming platform which people of all ages and skills are able to play ranked SoloQ. I agree with the fact anyone should be able to play ranked, but after 8 years of the game being out I'm still running into people who have no clue how to itemize, group, split push, position or have common sense. This brings me back to my point, to many stupid people playing ranked soloQ who dont understand the game or their champs.

It's really sad that I keep coming back to league hoping to get a decent ranked game in only to get a trolling/abusive team. Never been penalized for negative attitude or flaming but boy, from some of the games I've had i really had the urge to just scream at my team. I dont know how much longer i can tolerate all this negative behavior in game.

I have never been more disappointed with league of legends as whole than I have now. Broken items, over powered champions/masteries. This game is no longer skill based, I see it as a coin toss of who gets the team with more idiots on it.

Riot you need to balance out some champions and masteries. EX: Show bruisers some love like Tryndamere

8 years later and u still only need to be level 30 to play ranked. This needs to be changed to being level 40 or having more champions. This would fix the smurfing problem as well as the account buying/selling.

My most recent game I had a duo Sion mid and mundo jg who were both smurfing, intentionally throwing a ranked game because they wanted to "have fun". they didnt care if they won or lost. Sion bought zzrot, banner of command, and kept running it down mid with his duo buddy mundo. Game was an absolute slaughter, team game up and sat in the fountain while I 1v4'd and tried to defend the base.

Games like this are just plain miserable and the more times I get shit games/players like that, the less I want to play.

Please Riot change some things, update the MMR matchmaking system LP gain, ban smurfers who buy accounts just to troll people, balance out OP champions/masteries instead of pumping out useless skins.

I am not only a victim of this matchmaking, the griefers reported me in a spike of terrible teammate experiences. I have had to face facediving suicidal supports, etc. It's not just me, its other players as well. We've hit our limits despite trying our human best.

I feel like telling people to stop playing league, your account and mmr is not safe. Right now the quality of this new wave is basically hard griefing people without verbal and the utter ignorance is beyond the human capacity of even honorable players. And all these people will do is make you their victim, straight up.

There seriously needs to be a minimal standard of knowledge and behavior for Standard Ranked, because ARAM-trained wave of people has just made league unplayable. A bronze 5 in earlier seasons would have more game knowledge than these suicidal CoD KDA people who basically grief every game they get into.

I'm tired of being blackmailed with negative LP with someone wanting a role switch and going cray for not getting it, I'm tired of coop-vs-ai junglers in my ranked games that skew the game, and I'm tired of the disrespect for anything unusual to noobs that freak out over everything.

We desperately need a new code involving ranked. Although there are generally simple minimal expectations by seasoned ranked players, I don't think league is elitist although there are some toxic higher ranked people who disrupt ranked play.
