Riot, remove ranked restrictions. You are just making more toxic players.

Ranked restrictions are the worst thing to ever happen to this game ever. From my personal experience, it is hurting the community. Once they came out, I make a mistake of saying something wrong to someone and get restricted. Should I have been toxic in that game? No, but now I am stuck playing in normals with tons of toxic players. It is the most stressful thing I have ever experienced in gaming. I was just fine in ranked, and now I am having to deal with a group of people I don't wish to play with and a game mode I do not wish to play. It is so stressful that I am finding myself lashing out at people in game and am just starting to become as toxic as the people they are trying to punish. I don't want to be toxic, but normals are just too much for me, I can't take it. Thanks to Riot I have to play normals to even play the game, when I was peacefully content in ranked. Riot has made me into a toxic player with this system. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has run into this problem. This is why ranked restrictions should not be a part of the game. Ranked and normals are two different environments. I don't see how Riot can't see how terrible their decision on this was.

I know that everyone is probably just going to down vote this for no reason, but it is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. I don't want other players to have to go through the stress and pain of this terrible system. It just breeds toxicity. The community does not need this.

You could say that the environment helped to make you toxic, being put into games w/ supposedly "more" toxic players, but it was YOU who chose to start being toxic, not RIOT. If you value it so highly, learn to treat it better. The reason why you got restricted in the first place was because you were bad enough that enough people decided to report you, so work on your own behavior. If other people are toxic or play poorly, that is on them. Learn to control your own emotions and behavior and don't decide to lash out at others with your words when something you dislike happens.

this sounds like more of a personal problem. fix how you react when things go wrong instead of expecting them to prevent those situations in the first place.

i had a possible bug in champion select

my lobby hadn't even finished picking and my computer crashed.... still no idea why i just know it did... the game still happened even though it was mid champion select....

riots lost there mind and they dont look at the full picture..

no matter how i look at my behavior cause im "toxic" i can only see in tolerance to trolls.

if your feeding if you purposely entering a cs war with me. if your needlessly being bm. ive been saying this for a while. the games just not fun its a chore.

and the reasons are chat restriction that focus only on one minor part of the problem

constant nerfing

constant shitty games cause of players.

horrible severs stability.

less your in a 5 man premade its just not fun

Can confirm that it breeds toxicity.... I was never rly toxic and infact i have not been punished a single time yet, but i notice myself how negative im getting while playing with ranked restrictef players that flame a lot and that i often flame back nowadays.... got reported a lot of course lately cuz of it so its just a matter of time that im getting banned just because riot puts me into Prison Island when yet i was always 1 of the good guys, but hey soon im just another Prisoner cuz the system made me one.

Yeah that's bull, but as far as your toxicity, that's you, not riot, not the community. You lash out. Sure, why matters to you, I get that, but not to the others playing. We didn't restrict you. Learn to control you. I'm not being mean, I'm really trying to help you through this waiting. Just take this time to practice. Just go tear some shit up in Normal, until you are unrestricted again, or until riot changes it. But until then, just game man, that's all it is anyways, a game.
