No more ranked for me. I'm fine in bronze 1.

This is my first ranked season ever. I noticed that Riot pretends not to notice (or simply does not care) about so many of us drawing attention to the poor matchmaking system in ranked (same with the toxicity issue, but there at least they can say it's the community's fault and there's only so much they can do). Without adding further complaints, I have decided to quit playing ranked altogether (because bronze 1 proved impossible to escape, I don't want to imagine what it's like trying to escape even lower divisions). It is a mockery and feels like a big ''fuck you'' after all the effort I have put into this game. Thanks for the skins and glittery new stuff, Riot, but many of us would appreciate it much more if you would stop mocking us in ranked queue. Less flashy, but much more necessary.

EDIT: This is not me complaining about where I was placed. It's the way ranked matches are going since the placement that has been bothering me. Thanks :)

In addition to what everyone else is saying, consider that others in your division are presented with the same player pool as you.

Some people have the tenacity to continue their climb through setbacks and unwinnable games, while others don't. Resolve counts for alot. Chaos is a ladder.

So you get those teams that feed in lane and make the game impossible to win, right?

You get teams that won’t work together and can’t group.

But guess what, the other team gets it too. So think of it as this. Aside form the obviosuly unwinnable ones which every lane feeds to a score of 0/10 by 10 minutes, and the stomp games which the enemies feed 0/10, you have the games in between. Somewhat even, the victory is still up in the air and you have to fight for it.

Now, win all of these games. Every single one. These are games you can have a significant impact on, and if everyone else is breaking even or just slightly behind, you alone can make the difference and win.

That’s how you climb.

But if your score in B1 looks like 3/5/3 every game then, we’ll, you deserve to be there.

Unless you are playing support, a player stuck in a lower elo than where they should be at will always have a positive KDA or a really high CS, objective count, or even just vision score.

Maybe Bronze 1 is just where you belong.

From what I'm reading, you just think you deserve higher elo when you don't. It's not Riot's fault that you don't know how to play yet.

Wait. You've decided that Bronze 1 is impossible to escape... a week into the ranked season? What matchmaking problem, the fact that a few Silver 5s are finding their way into your Bronze 1 games?

I was placed in Bronze 4 last season and got out of it in like 25 games.
