Post after post about how BAD Ranked games are full of AFKers, SMurs, Trolls, and Feeders. More so then in past Season and yet Riot says nothing.

We must be playing different games, I'm in mid-silver and I haven't seen an actual troll / afk / feeder in ages. I do encounter quite a few smurfs, but that's just something I've come to expect at this point, and take as an opportunity to test my skills.

well you need to wake up.... i cant even go 2 games without have 2-3 horrrible ppl that either are trolls afkers of straight bad ppl that when you tell them to no do something they whine and cry call you toxic as they go 2/15

I don't know what "waking up" would do for me, since, as I said, I'm not having the same experience as you. At least not with the same frequency.

Also I don't tell people to do things, I just ping and if they ignore me I do whatever I can on my own, or I follow them around and try to make sure their plays work out. It's not always enough to win, but succeeding at the second-best option is infinitely better than failing miserably at the best one.

im just saying that now most games i either have to carry every game because every game i get 2-3 bad ppl. if you dont get that it amazes me so much and pisses me off that some ppl get easy rides throw the game and then there is ppl that play at higher lvls cant climb due to always being paired with terrible ppl..... everyone is always lie its you, you need to do better. sorry when my jungle feeds mid lane or my bot goes 2/20 and the other team adc or jungle is 10/0 in 12 mins.... and im playing top lane.. how does any of that have to do with me? I tell ppl to ward plz, stay at tower and farm because you are losing lane.... flip they are pushing lane, no wards.... hell even if it is warded they dont care they still see the jungler and press on under tower 3v2 and die, then blame others. the game is worse then it ever has been. then im yelled at for not helping when the game is over at 15 mins due to 3 ppl with a total of 3/31. so yes the games are so bad, the community is more then toxic, and then you have so many smurfs now that comes from upper ppl not wanting to wait toplay games they come to low elo to shitt on everyone instead of letting ppl that are low learn to play.

The reason people say "it's you, it's all up to you" is because, in the end, that's the only thing you can really control. No matter how much you dislike it, one of the teams in every single game will win. The only person who is in every single game you play, unless you always duo, is yourself.

They aren't saying "it's your fault your bot lane went 0/13" they are saying "it isn't always because your bot lane went 0/13, and the times it isn't should be the ones where you focus on yourself and what mistakes you made, because that is the only way you will be able to improve"

im sorry but when i start out games 5/0 7/0 and make the jungle gank top over and over again.... and i still lose because of other ppl, I cant carry every single game i play, nor should i have to carry every single game. i do challenge those ppl that say its you, you nned to do better to show me how every single game they win, is sololy because of them

I mean, statistically, carry or not, you can't win every single game you play, unless you are hands-down the best player who has ever lived or ever will live.

i think even the best player on LOL has only like a 65% win rate and its because riot purposely makes it to where you should only be able to have or close to 50% win rate, i could be wrong on his numbers tho

xxgabrielxx17Feb 23, 20191 votes

like myself i think i have a 52% maybe, but thats because id say 75% of my wins is because of my carrying/tanking/play calling when they actually listen, which shows that im not the best but as good as i am.... i still lose more than i should due to the fact of have 2-3 bad ppl on my team every game

And how often do you think it's fair for someone on the enemy team to be better than you, and do a better job of carrying, and therefore deserve to win while you lose? 50% seems like a nice, fair number to me, and 52% is higher than that :)

That's where the "ever will live" part comes in. If someone ever achieves an undefeated climb to the top of challenger, it will be impossible for anyone else to ever do anything but tie that record, and they won't be the first, which means they won't be the best :D

You mean like this? https://twitter.com/RiotSapMagic/status/1098820557385084928 (tweet)

DOUBLE TAPPED EFeb 23, 20192 votes

Who is that and why are you posting it everywhere?

ModWulf HelhammerFeb 23, 20191 votes

So first, I'm not the guy who's posting it everywhere (I've seen who that is)

Second: It's a tweet thread from Riot SapMagic, the lead designer for Meta Game systems (aka, primarily ranked), talking about what a Ranked reset would actually look like and how it would effect different things

Ahh my apologies, I didn't remember the name of the person who was posting it, and thank you for the clarification.

Riot cant control people...and its up to the players to report adverse behavior in their games.

how do u expect riot to know when someones gonna feed, troll or afk?

In my experience, the more I type the worse my teammates get. Pretty sure that's what's happening to you too. I don't agree with it but that seems to be what's happening.
