i got a ranked restriction for bieng toxic. sure, whatever, sometimes i get madder than i should. but why on EARTH would you make it a requirement to WIN 20+ games in normal draft mode when the matchmaking is SO horrible, and where people don't really care if they win or lose? it seems to me like its just one big damn trap. do you know how frustrating it is to be restricted from ranked, told you have to win games, and then play normals, get 17 kills in 30 minutes, only to lose it because the other team has 80 kills to your team's 50? its MADDENING. you can't expect people to NOT get more pissed about this absolute BS. if you're gonna force me to play in normals fine. but there is absolutely NO reason why i should be getting bronze 5's on my team while the enemy team is loaded with silvers and golds. its like you want to keep me perpetually stuck with chat restrictions and normals queues.

don't you get that this horrible system is why i rage? im getting unfairly punished because of a bogus punishment coupled with a god-awful matchmaking system. its hard not to be angry when you do well and your whole team blows it for you by not listening and just doing whatever they want, or just being plain outmatched by people MUCH more experienced/higher rank than them. why would you require WINS in normals from a single person when its a team based game? that's a catch 22 if i've ever seen it.

Idk, why don't we ask the people in your games where you go 8/16, or 2/8, or 1/4, or 2/7, or 0/6? Sorry dude, there is a luck factor in this game that is gonna be a thing no matter what. The point however is, how is it fair to get mad at others for not doing well, when you don't do well at times either? Please don't act like you are perfect and don't fuck up either.

Just play the game dude, you'll win 20 games eventually.

umm... if you rage BECAUSE of the horrible matchmaking in normals... why are you restricted from ranked? Surely the normal matchmaking isn't making you rage in a non-normal game??? O_o

i had a level 23 go up against a gold 5 in mid lane, a decently matched botlane/toplane, and a fresh level 30 vs a silver 3 jungle. and i'll tell you, the difference in skill i saw in our jungle/mid vs theirs was MASSIVE. fix your horrible matchmaking PLEASE if you're gonna dish out these punishments.

You know I've never had a problem with matchmaking, but it seems recently it's been doing really badly. I'm unranked, but for some reason I've been getting matched with opposing teams in silver or higher, heck the last game I played had 2 platinum players. Please tell me how the heck that makes sense?

it doesn't. because riot is a bunch of incompetent monkeys too busy making skins to buy with rp, rather than establish and east coast server which people want, fix matchmaking which is what this game NEEDS, and address problems the playerbase brings up on this forum instead of ignoring them and commenting in all of the fanart threads.

People like you, and by "people like you" I mean people that call Riot:

because riot is a bunch of incompetent monkeys

are, PERHAPS, the reason Riot doesn't take heed of what is said about the game on the boards.

Just... sayin...

If you want balanced matchmaking you should play ranked, you'll always be matched up with people close to the same elo.

Personally I think it's cool to play with or against diamonds in normal games

i was unaware you had to WIN the games? im gonna guess their thinking is "if you can't keep your cool while losing a casual game, you probably can't handle ranked stress so well" but thats just a guess

im fine losing a casual game. i'm fine with having to win the games. what i'm not fine with is being so outmatched because of a terrible matchmaking system that is incredibly frustrating to the community as a whole without the restrictions, and suffering a longer punishment because of that.

like is it not ridiculous that i have a level 23 newbie on my team, who just so happens to be pulling a gold 5 zed? how fair is that to him OR me.

Aww but that's the plan. Put you with baddies to see if you learned to chill, which you haven't, so if you rage there they will stack another restriction.

"hey we wanna cure this guy of his anger issues, let's kick him in the balls repeatedly. if he gets violent lets tack on 2 more years to his prison sentence" Sound system there.

http://youtu.be/_GjpA1iPihs?t=1m9s that is what this system is. except there is no miracle cure for it. they just expect you to deal with it.

Why did you ignore my post and what is Riot supposed to do then? Would you rather just be banned?
