I hope that ALL of those fucking trolls who INSIST that it's MORE due to SKILL than LUCK will be MADE to experience the SAME shit that I went through at the beginning of this season : Absolutely EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TEAM after placements feeding like a buffet starting from or even before lane-phase even started, followed by being four-man-surrender-voted (the AVERAGE amount of deaths on MY team was close to 50 before the 15-minute-mark whilst I was the ONLY one NOT feeding in OVER 9 out of 10 of those matches), ALL the way into a Demotion into Bronze, then for it to happen to them AGAIN in the SAME damn season, JUST like what I experienced, SUCH to the point that it ALSO makes THEIR win/loss record into something like a dismal 11 wins to 48 losses, JUST like what happened to ME during the season. Yeah, more skill than luck my ass, Ranked is based near-ENTIRELY on LUCK, and how often you queue-dodge (I had to queue-dodge over 350 times during the season in order to climb out of a fucking 20% win-rate). I also STILL get a disproportionate amount of AFKs/trolls/idiots/feeders/DC's than your average account. Get the statistics for yourself and see IF you can find the difference in feeders/AFKs/DCs on my team versus the enemy team, just TRY to find that it's ANYWHERE even NEAR a 50% rate, but you won't find that, because it's MOSTLY on MY team where that shit's happened.
