im starting to favor the "bad players sentence" idea for ranked

the bad players sentence is basically if you go 0/6 or something along those lines in ranked, your forced into 5 - 10 bot games where you have to perform an S- or higher in each game for it to count as a real game..

Edit: actually second thoughts, idk if monkeys can improve that fast, hmm...

  1. Bad games happen.
  2. If they actually intentionally did bad, report them. Not "lol 0/6 must be inting". But actually intentionally ran in to die and ruin the game.
  3. This is an idea that punishes getting hard countered, getting unlucky, or getting lag.
  4. You're already going to lose LP. It's ranked. That's the punishment for doing bad if it wasn't on purpose.
  5. Holy wow you must have lots of free time if you think anyone deserves to be forced to waste 5-10 bot games worth of time just to unlock the ability to play ranked again. People would probably rather quit playing ranked, quit playing the game, or make a different account at some point. And if you reply "working as intended to that", then you really need to think about what that does to a player base over the course of even a month much less ranked season.

Even being able to 1v5 in bot games does almost nothing to prevent you from going 0/6 in an actual pvp game.

why is this post being downvoted? he has a point, this would help the players with bad mechanics improve but i believe one or two S ranks in intermediate bots should suffice.

the problem is that most bad players just straight up jump into pvp farm carelessly feed cluelessly and build terribly because they have never reached end game before nor looked up builds and videos since they're busy getting slaughtered and surrendering every match.

i've won many games because i refused to surrender when these 2-3 feeders wanted to give up, this suggestion would stop players from playing mindlessly and learn how to play the game properly, there is no way to improve if all they do is int and ff at 15.
