I peaked d1 last season, but dropped with 90% of unwinnable games to d4 and got so tilted I haven't play a ranked game since then. Today, I said what the hell and tried one... literally the first ranked game, I get a first time brand jungle that didn't do anything, enemy had a kha zix that camped me mid. I also went against the most pussy xerath Ive ever seen AND had a losing bot lane.
What part of this is fun ? I don't get it.
Anatera20 votesI don't know how anyone can play ranked. The game is so hilarious unfair and unbalanced, that even when you're winning it doesn't feel right.
Unstoppable Monk6 votesRiot Games doesn't care about the quality of ranked matches, but it does care for mass censorship and speaking in place of players to spout their SJW report system agenda.
All they have accomplished is griefing the shit out of every regular honest queue player that genuinely wants to climb by inserting even more new accounts, griefers, and bought accounts into the queue.
What did they think they could accomplish by letting people into ranked SR that have a total of 3 SR games and the rest ARAM into the queue?
They're chat restricting us because we think there's something fucked up about our game for the 100th time? Wow thanks Riot for calling me toxic when there's legitimately something in game to talk about. Since when did League need to tell people how to talk? All league players wanted was just to keep people from saying the N word and spamming homophobic slurs ::thinking::
PhearBunny9 votesidk why ppl play ranked in this game. Theres nothing to show for your hard work and dedication.
Just play normals, have fun and be stress free. Ranked isnt worth your sanity for a useless loadscreen boarder. Every gold/plat player is still gonna think youre a stupid idiot dumby head already anyways.

Normals are worse because of the matchmaking
stop playing to win, and play to enjoy yourself. Ranked or normal, matchmaking is out of your control.
Jennifer42010 votesranked matchmaking at least tries to give you mates in your elo. in normal you can literally be 5 unrankeds vs 4 masters and 1 dia 1 (actually happened to me)

honestly i prefer normals. Better than my matchmaking in plat.
Jennifer4208 votesi said ranked TRIES to give you same elo mates. i never said it does a good job at it. but normals man fuck that shit.
GelsominoKiller1 votesranked matchmaking at least tries to give you mates in your elo. in normal you can literally be 5 unrankeds vs 4 masters and 1 dia 1 (actually happened to me)
In all honesty, there is a separate MMR for rankeds and normals.
While me and my friends dgaf about rank, and are thus gold/plat, our average opponent in normals is diamond.
Of course if a diamond player has a silver friend and wants to play with him in normals, the elo of that game will be inconsistent.
Jennifer4201 votesi think its okay to have normal and ranked mmr be different. whats not okay is that EVERY TIME I DARE TO ENTER A NORMAL, EVERY FUCKING TIME the enemys have dia+. every. fucking. time.

i cant, im forced to be a metaslave or have no control over my matches. i dont like to play meta, so high plat/low diamond is where ill peak every season, and i alrdy know that. i dont need to grind it out again for a pointless border.
after many seasons of the same rank with Leona Jungle, and Nocturne top, ive accepted that Low diamond is as high as ill go with either one. No point doing it all over again.

quality matchmaking lmfao
General Esdeath 7 votesI'm pretty sure I'm already insane and just do it for the sake of wasting time until I finally die
SweedishGunner5 votesI do go insane playing ranked.
Nøctμrne5 votesIf you think I play this game and I'm not already insane, you ate mistaken.
ArtumisPrime5 votesWas mistaken delicious?
JuiceBoxP4 votespoor mistaken.... is he okay?
xelaker5 votesEveryone in ranked IS insane
Trist mid opop5 votesThe secret is to not care at all about ur LP.
Janakin4 votesEasily.
I used to be main adc and supp, peaking to d2. After having shitloads of games similar to the one you've described, I started soft trolling, dropping to platinum 5.
Then it occurred to me. My champions are simply not on Riot's list of favorites.
So I've started my path of Yasuo OTP. It feels like a completely different game now. But with Yasuo, I no longer feel like an anal sex-toy for the enemy.
KnKitsune4 votesYou can't go insane if you're already passed that point.
Uraraka3 votesliterally the first ranked game, I get a first time brand jungle that didn't do anything, enemy had a kha zix that camped me mid.
Sadly only option is to avoid such games; I am not higher ranked, but every time I see such a pick I dodge even if it is second dodge of the day or the third. Imo matchmaking is bad due to it probably inclined more towards faster queue times than fair matching and the system for trolls/feeders/afk punishment is so bad. Tbh I feel sad and shocked because I thought such troll picks are only silver/bronze trend and higher we climb, we won't get such players.
p.s: just curious, why you started with 
? for the cdr? It doesn't drop gold coins unless there is an ally nearby and minions die from damage from other sources.
Limeheart XI3 votesFor me it's become, "I can't play normals anymore", after I one day didn't alt tab out of the loading screen and realized they were matching me with players that haven't even reached the old limit of lvl 30. The lonely kind of feel you have when you realize you are playing with 9 bots in a multiplayer game, where you can't even flame them properly was so bad. I'd take any shit a player pulls off in a ranked game over that any day
Mecha Incognito3 votesSounds like blaming everyone else is your problem with ranked.
Moody Jazz2 votesI peaked D3 this season and a week later I dropped back to P1 and then slowly to P2 and then finally P3. Diamond was my dream rank and I lost it in a god damn week. I was so tilted that I thought that I would never play the game again. I mean how can one not get tilted if he gets a Jarvan mid or Morgana jungle that are obviously trolling.
I let a few days pass and realized that it doesn't even matter so I turned ally chat off, I /fullmute all when the game starts (because of pings) and now I'm giving Ranked the Normals treatment. I tend to perform better when I'm not under pressure (which is when I'm playing Normals) so if I treat Ranked the same way I'm expecting games to be much more enjoyable.
Iron Phantom2 votesPlay while drunk and with a friend.
Oburrawatabonobo2 votesLook my man, you are putting your faith in a company that is currently fighting a very credible sexual assault lawsuit, the people that work for and defend riot games are some of the worst individuals in the gaming/tech industry.
rtbf2183861971 votesI didn't even manage to reach p5 in this season ,i stopped giving it my best eventually cause its quite clear its not worth it. Playing with first timers that mostly are unranked and silvers in every goddamn p5 promo is stupid. Idgaf about climbing in a mode like that.
BladeSteel7 votesAnd the sad part is...you will never get to P5. EVER.

No, the sad part is climbing is a total waste of energy rn

Your MMR must be shit for you to be playing with those people.
jng dif victim1 votesim so agree with u on the shitty matchmaking system and shitty ban system and shitty balance and i also upvoted u . but i need to say this. RANKED is not for enjoying . its for competetive . u are not supposed to enjoy while playing ranked . u enjoy when u get that high elo border . thats when u enjoy . u enjoy when u get on top of the ladder . not during the game. u are not supposed to enjoy during RANKED games . u suppose to tryhard . lose somtimes . learn . be passion . be smart . when barcelona and Real madrid are playing against each other literally no player in the ground is enjoying the game they are going through so much pain and tears and hard trying . They enjoy after they win that CUP . thats how competetive things works. if u want to enjoy during the game u need to play ARAM or Pubg or fortnite or minecraft or GTA or etc ... . RANKED is not made to enjoy during the game. how ever im hardly agree with u on shitty matchmaking system and not fair games part. but im not agree with u on the ENJOY part . thats not a part of RANKED and competetive play.
Aatrox Airlines2 votesActually i find ranked quite enjoyable even while tryharding
TehNACHO1 votesSo a few months ago in a particularly all-chat heavy game, I played against a Nocturne who said something along the lines of:
"I'm really glad my chat box is all the way off screen and I can't read any of this"
Immediately, I shoved my chat box all the way to the left, and it's impossible to pull it back out.
As a Jungler, it was the best thing I ever learned you can do.
Also as a Jungler, you kinda just learn to accept that there's winning lanes, losing lanes, and yolo q lanes.
Jeanne fan club1 votesYour premise is incorrect, you are assuming that we aren't insane
Lordofthepittt1 votesAt least you are in D1. I can't seem to get out of bronze 4. I know I ain't the best, but I was at least hoping to get silver by now. But it seems like every game I've got teammates that feed. If I go bot to prevent feeding, then top feeds. If I go top to make sure there isn't a feeder, mid feeds. If I got mid, jungle feeds. If I go jungle, its a toss up and multiple lanes feed.
I know I feed too, everyone gets them bad games and I get that and I know I'm a scrub and blah blah blah... but honestly I can usually handle my lane until teamfights start and the random Ashe that got fed 10 kills before teamfights started just poos on me.
Dahaaka1 votesIts about Rank these days, only. How many games can you play a month and say "This game was hella fun for everyone in that game". Riot cut the fun part from the game, its all about skill today, practice, experience, talent, dedication. This season by having my own fun in games, i got better and even hit dia "accidentally".
The Reason #1 for every game "Why do we play games" is dead in league, so people tryhard only, and rank is the only place where your tryhard is somewhat rewarded.....
EY3 Tyr4nT1 votesranked is the only mode that feels even halfway balanced,normal draft is a shit show and i dont like tft or aram.i dont care so much about what rank i am but play it as though that is all there is.i used to love 3v3 before the bots ruined it
KillerCryptid1 votesI do get annoyed sometimes but it doesn't bother me as much anymore, I just mute annoying people and report those who are reeeeally just toxic, sexist, racist etc. I play ranked only alone, if any of my friends are online I play normals with them, try new champs or weird builds and then if they work use them in ranked, it's fun and since I started to play more ranked, normals don't really annoy me...like ever, which is good.
If you see me playing something weird (Gold rank) say hi :)
The Overjarl1 votesFor me, I stopped playing ranked unless I'm streaming. I have a lot of fun making fun of myself with my chat (and blowing out their ears w/ the occasional peak ofc) so I don't pay as close attention to the games and just quit after tilting really hard. So I think for me it's more that it's become a fun way to interact rather than something I feel is a hardcore grind.[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
The23rdGamer1 votesOther team from OP's example probably had fun, so I imagine those wins and getting better drive people to play ranked.
SiG DxD1 votesthe thing is to not care anymore because game is balanced around skins releases
and play silver like most of us
