Improve League with these ideas.

I've played since season 1, own every champ and about $1000 worth of skins. I recently quit LoL because I haven't been able to progress in ranked, and the toxic community. A few things that I feel would improve gameplay are:

1. "Turn off chat" option, including for own team. That way from the start, I don't have to be harrassed by my teammates during pick or the start of the game, which makes me not want to play and basically costs us the game before it's even begun. People don't understand negative morale can cost their entire team. You don't see professional football teams saying "gg, we're f***ed. our QB lost it for us." Silence is golden, and I shouldn't have to go through and mute everyone every game just to play a game without being harrassed or brought down. I like to think I'm the kind of player who will give it my all even if we end up being outmatched.

IMPORTANT 2. Limit the number of ranked games players can play each week. That way people will play more normals, instead of playing ranked like they're normals. For example: If you only have 10 ranked games in a week, you're going to make sure you give them your all because after those you can go back to being lazy in normals as most people play in ranked. This way, people who play ranked like normals don't bring down the people who try to rank up. Or better yet, give a player a RATIO of ranked to normals! Play 10 normals to unlock 1 ranked game. Then it's seen as a reward to be able to rank up and encourages players to play their best instead of playing ranked after ranked after ranked, with no care if you win or lose (which brings down those who genuinely try to improve ranks) An analogy of this is that if you want to race in the Indi500, you should have to earn your spot. How would it be trying to race in the Indi 500 if everyone with a car could jump on the track? All the real racers would have to dodge the people who aren't serious about racing, in their VW Beetles and Honda Civics. Accidents everywhere. It would clog up the entire track, and only a few would actually get through the mess. (Only to come upon them again in the next lap)

3. Allow players to be reported IN CHAMPION SELECT! That way the players who troll in pick, or start harrassing before the game even begins can be dealt with. And sometimes people will troll in pick, forcing someone else to dodge. Then that player is NEVER REPORTED for their offense! They've bullied without reprocussions and created a toxic and negative environment that will perpetuate into future games.

4. Impliment a list function in champion select where everyone can select their best lanes. For example: Next to a player's name, it would say 1.MID 2.SUP if that person mostly plays mid, but can also support. Perhaps even a FILL option there. Some sort of visual way of organizing teams without typing in champ select, which many people don't bother to do anyways. If I see someone's best lane is MID, and mine is too- then we can arrange who gets it based on what the team needs and our secondary lanes- But at least we'd know if someone on our team is a good jungler, or prefers top, etc. even if they don't say in chat. This will also help for those games when we're disconnected from chat for whatever reason the server likes to do that. Showing 2 instead of 1 gives the team some flexibility. That way it's not a madhouse of calling lanes and someone always getting the short stick. The person whose computer loads fastest and CTRL+V their lane the quickest always gets their lane? How is that balanced? If my computer doesn't load as fast, am I doomed to always fill a lane I don't want?

5. Perhaps give some sort of incentive or reward for teammates who fill, because that right there is the opposite of toxic behavior. It's a team player, who makes the game feel more fun from the start. And when we don't start the game thinking "I hate my teammates" then we work together better.

6. If I want to play teemo top because he's a fun champ and the one I'd like to play, there's a few ways of going about it. I can either go draft pick and type TOP as fast as I can, depending if I load quickest (not balanced or fair at all). I can instalock like a jerk. (not balanced or fair at all) Or I can wait up to 1 hour in team builder, and probably never even get a game going before resorting back to the first two options. Hey sometimes I want to play Vayne jungle because I'm awesome at it, and sated devourer bork ganking jungle vayne is the most fun I've had in a while. (Went 32-10-15 with jungle vayne a while ago.) Granted, I can go play bots which is no fun because they're as difficult as kicking sleeping kittens. That also depends if I called first. Or I could join draft and hope that I'm first pick. But the game loses fun when we really want to play a specific champion but can't, even through team builder. That being said, team builder only has a mode where a captain can accept or reject their teammates. How about a type of teambuilder where teammates are random, so people who want to play the less popular champs can still get a game. I'm saying each of the 10 people have selected their lane and they're randomly placed together so that there's two complete teams. It sucks to wait in team builder for 10 minutes. It's even worse waiting for 30, for a game that may only last 20 minutes. But it's even WORSE having to fight your team for a lane because you've waited an hour in team builder and the only way to get a game with the champ you want to play is to instalock. Give us some options, please. Give us a reason to be excited over new teams, new combinations, and accepting the outcome of selecting this game type.

There's more I could say, but lets start with these and see if what you all think. Lets see if Riot can take some positive steps to improve behavior and quality of gameplay at the foundation. Thanks for reading. Peace.
