Ranked is broken (RANT)

Ranked is so fkn stupid atm because 9/10 times I cannot play the role i'm good at and it's all because you are too lazy to put team builder for ranked. Its the worst feeling in the damn world when you are forced in a role you aren't that great in, and you are against a player who mains said role. This is the cause of so much toxicity and rage, especially in the lower elos and I can honestly see where they are coming from. I'm only gold 2 so i obviously have a lot to learn and all that but rn ranked doesn't let you climb to your fullest potential. Look in the high elo matches. Pro players almost always get the role they want because others know they are good at it. Inb4 "Wtf you should not play ranked while you are not that good at other roles" Well what if i don't enjoy the other roles. Isn't that the point of the game? TO ENJOY YOURSELF?

TL;DR- PUT TEAM BUILDER FOR RANKED AND HAVE IT SO EVERY PLAYER ON THE TEAM GETS TO PICK 1 CHAMPION THEY WANT TO BAN -This would incorporate the ban phase of ranked and not have 1 player to have control over all the bans, also while adding 2 extra bans per team

If you're playing for the fun of it, to enjoy yourself, etc., then go play normals. The first thing you need to learn about League of Legends is that ranked is for the competition, not for fun. To do well in the beginning of ranked (and by beginning, I mean not being recognized as a pro), you absolutely HAVE to know your way around a few champs for EVERY role in case you have to do one of those roles.

Don't enjoy the role you have to do? Not too sound rude, but TOO FRICKIN' BAD. You got stuck with it, so the least you could do is NOT leave and NOT be intentionally toxic just because you didn't get what you want.

Take ME for example. I don't really do ranked because I don't much like the competition, nor do I think I would do well in real competitive play, NOR do I like the overwhelming toxicity of the low-ranking player base.

But I've learned to play champs I never thought I'd like and fit myself into places I never thought I would (specifically Jungle. I always believed I would never understand it or like it at all, but once I learned how to do it, the concept became SO MUCH SIMPLER than I originally thought.)

My favorite 3 champs for each role:

TOP: Hecarim Chogath Garen

MID: Annie Azir Ziggs

SUPPORT: Soraka Kayle Bard

ADC: Jinx Corki Varus

JUNGLE: Hecarim Rammus

Yes I realize that I put a champ or two into 2 different places, but that's just to show that some of your favorite champs can fit into other roles, even ones that you don't like. It may actually help you come to like those roles if you play them with those champs.

TL:DR- RULES FOR PLAYING LEAGUE OF LEGENDS LIKE A GOOD SAMARITAN:

--Don't play ranked for the enjoyment.

--Don't play normals for the competition.

--Learn the roles, whether you like them or not, before you even attempt to play ranked anymore.

--Realize and learn that you are probably NOT gonna get what you want.

--Do NOT be toxic if you don't.

--If you disregard that last statement and still just whine and bitch about not getting the role you "have" to get, you should not be playing LoL at all, because you have blatant and purposeful ignorance of how to be a healthy part of online society (just like far too much of the LoL community...)
