Don't make the same mistake I did. Go play normals or something if ranked is turning out to be a stressful experience.
Of all the seasons that ever were, this one is by far the least worth getting your blood-pressure up over.
RookPusher6 votesTo me it's not ranked stressing me out. It's the players.
Don't come unprepared Don't play a champ you don't have a Mastery Ribbon on Don't play ranked if you've ever said "we can't win" Don't try a new lane in ranked If you don't group, you chase bait, or recall after an ACE instead of pushing the tower. If you think kills are more important than staying alive, think you need to get fed before you think about towers, or don't look at your mini map. DON'T. PLAY. RANKED.
And yet, and yet, what's the punishment if they do? Nothing. And I hear so many dopes say "well maybe on a different account..." Stfu. Play that account then. 42% of players queue to win and you're ruining it. This game caterers to trolls and the lazy. And I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Until Riot does something about people who go into Ranked with zero ****s then the whole system is rigged.
"but you can carry yourself if you're ski..." "I'm a support main. You can only go so far support the clueless"

mastery ribbon? since when did this become a thing? who gives a fuck if you've played a shit ton of times on a champion. ranked is THE place to learn a champion because you are usually against people's best and they don't dick around.
now im not saying you should first time a champ in ranked and "wing it", but once you have a general feel for a champion and understand what they can and cant do without feeding then you can go into ranked.
RookPusher1 votesI'd agree with you, but I'm not making that rule for the top 10% of players in the game, I'm making it for the bottom 10%. Some people need to be told explicitly what to do. I.e. "if you don't know that champ, don't play them."
Admittedly, Rank 4 is overkill. But some of the people you see out there...It's the height of adolescent selfishness.
Have a Nice Game2 votesI say Riot should make people have at least a 55% win rate over 100 or so past games in normals before they're allowed to play a single game of ranked :/
55% for being "decent" 100 for dedication 55% over 100 games for being dedicated to being "good"
Wimbledofy3 votesyou know without the bad players that make up a large amount of the players in league you wouldn't really be able to climb right? If people had to have those requirements to play ranked then you would probably be bronze since the current bronze players wouldn't exist
Enloct2 votesI'd win 90%+ of my games against bronze players, but I'm only just above 50% in Diamond. Winrate is an idiotic standard without taking opponent skill into context.

Normal is also very toxic, why not bots then? You always win there.
Dude, you are telling people to quit this game.
You know, for a experienced player the normals are just "training".
In mmorpg terms, normals are the lv up to cap, ranked is the endgame stuff.
Apocyliptic2 votesThat's not what he's saying at all. He's saying if Ranked stresses you out, makes you angry, then to simply play normals. If normals stress you out because you lose, then yes, PLAY BOTS. There are bot only players, actually. Not that it's my kind of thing though.
You know, he's not asking people to quit the game, he's asking them to play the game for enjoyment, not for a shiny ranking to show off.
I love ranked, but what he's saying is nothing comparable to your slippery slope fallacy.
Also, there are a lot of normal only experienced players to. You have no idea because you largely play with ranked friends, and browse things like the lol boards, or lol subreddit, which are filled with competitive like minded players that like to discuss balance changes, meaning they want the game more balanced so, in turn, it's more competitive.
Dimetri White4 votesRanked doesn't stress me out. It pisses me off
When I get a mid lane nunu who trolls then says "alright boys, cya" because our support zyra banned his pick.
When we have a mid lane BARD that says he's trolling from the champ select, does get firstblood but at 10 minutes says "soz gtg"
Should I dodge when people do this? You may say yes, but I don't deserve to lose LP or my series because of trolls. Yes, this did happen to me. Recently. You can look at my match history. And when I try to talk about my experience on the forums RITO removes it and says this isn't the right way to report a player. I was just talking about it.
THEY'LL BAN YOU FOR WHAT YOU SAY. NOT DO. That's like people going to jail for threatening someone, but if they actually commit the murder they get a slap on the wrist. RIOT's tribunal is ASS and it needs to be fixed
Edit: Fixed a spelling error
elon wątroba1 votesBard mid is funny as fuck, but i have played only in normals.

IDC If he was bard adc. It doesn't matter what he picks. I just dont want to be trolled with an intentional feeder or someone who's gonna go afk. But RITO doesn't care. That's why I'll never spend money on this game. I don't get a good experience.
Chamuel853 votesThis.... just this! This needs to be more of a PSA: Daily reminder style post. I don't think people realize that it's a game (omg I'm not trying to start a BUT RANKED IS SRZ BUSINESS argument here) and it is supposed to be fun. If it is not, you're just being a detriment to yourself.

Truthfully I used to enjoy climbing rank and getting a gauge on my personal skill. Not anymore.
MigYalle3 votesRanked and Normals are virtually the same now
Pandemic Punch3 votesI need to at least get my blood pressure up for a few weeks to get to gold. Then I can go back to chillaxin with Yorick ADC
Sasogwa1 votesI don't know ranked is unbelievably casual right now, with the dynamicQ. It's good cause it's less toxic, but it doesn't feel like ranked anymore. Anyways it always comes back to the dynamicQ discussion
YJRBqwXJcS1 votesif you have fed for more than one game in a row don't play ranked
Megazoz1 votesI just play it to get gold for the victorious skin and never play it again. [slayer-jinx-wink]
Pr0Meister1 votesI know I HAVE to get to that damn Gold this season but every time I try to queue up for ranked I imagine what kind of twsited trolling monstrosity I might get on my team and just go into a normal, where I face the same thing but at least might lie to myself defeat isn't so bad cause there's no LP.
And I can't play with friends cause we are a ragtag mix of low and high divisions and I don't have the heart to tell some of my friends queueing up with them in ranked is suicide.
Hell, I barely have any ranked games this season.
franticFurball1 votesThere is no ranked.
There is normal.
And there is Glorified normal.
Punkkee1 votesFine ill play normals where wins and loses are meaningless and that plat 5 30 LP will sit there haunting me, since I used to be plat 2. fuck dynamic queue
PiVoRx1 votesYou mean go play Overwatch, nobody cares about normals anymore since Ranked is not much different.
IceKingChernobog1 votesranked and normals? there's a difference between the two?
If video games stress you out (FNAF excluded) you shouldn't play videogames.
