Why do I have win these games?

So RiotSkynet decided that I was too toxic. Big woop. I have to play another 75 games with chat restriction. Big woop. I have to win 35 games of draft norms before I'm allowed to play ranked again. Big woo... does that actually say I have to "win" 35 games to play ranked?

*5 games, 215 minutes (3 hours and 35 minutes of in-game) and 2 wins later.

33 games to go.

How is this a good idea? In what way is forcing players to play between 35 and ∞ games of a game mode they really dislike suppose to fix toxicity?

I'm seriously asking.

This wouldn't be such a huge deal for me if you didn't slap me with it while I was starting my promos to plat 4 after going on a 11 game win streak in solo queue. Oh and the whole complete lack of a competent matchmaker is another big factor. Of the 5 games I've played, none of them have had 2 balanced teams of players at my skill level (gold 2 - plat 3).

So why do I have to win 35 games as opposed to just playing 35 games?

Edit: Screw it I'm going to track how long it takes me to get this shit done.

(Day 1) Game 1 - W (34/35) - 57:13 - 57:13 Game 2 - W (33/35) - 42:19 - 1:39:32 Game 3 - L (33/35) - 36:11 - 2:15:43 Game 4 - L (33/35) - 34:55 - 2:50:38

(Day 2) Game 5 - L (33/35) - 44:28 - 3:35:06 Game 6 - L (33/35) - 48:22 - 4:23:28 Game 7 - W (32/35) - 30:40 - 4:54:08 Game 8 - W (31/35) - 31:04 - 5:25:12 Game 9 - L (31/35) - 27:34 - 5:52:46

(Day 3) Game 10 - L (31/35) - 31:01 - 6:23:47 Game 11 - W (30/35) - 39:01 - 7:02:48 (at this rate I can anticipate it taking me another 35+ hours of in-game time to finish this; that is absurd. Taking longer than a standard work week just so I can play a game?) Game 12 - W (29/35) - 35:09 - 7:37:57 Game 13 - W (28/35) - 40:43 - 8:18:40 Game 14 - W (27/35) - 25:34 - 8:44:14 Game 15 - L (27/35) - 28:25 - 9:12:39 Game 16 - W (26/35) - 37:54 - 9:50:33

Generally toxic players lose more games than win. If you tell a toxic player to go play 35 games, he will probably act the same if not worse. Tell him to go win 35 games and all of a sudden he is the teams biggest cheerleader and motivator. It is almost like RIOT is trying to rehabilitate toxic players :)

because if it wasnt win, you could just intentionally feed or afk through them

You're not going to get any rewards this season:

So to answer your question: You don't have to win those games :D and if you do win them and go back to ranked you don't have to try to win those ranked matches either! Cause you're not getting anything for it :D

The pressure is off my man! Just sit back and relax!

Alls I'm saying is go back to ranked and play Rammus ADC. It's not punishable and it doesn't matter if you win or not anymore :D

Colgate Gator8/21/2015, 9:07:11 PM1 votes

Because they are punishing you for being toxic.

Shroom Junkie8/21/2015, 9:14:25 PM1 votes

Well maybe you'll learn not to be toxic anymore. Ever think about that?

if you disagree with your punishment, submit a ticket. the only thing you accomplish by posting this is venting, which is also fine.

Yeah all you get is a form letter.

It's already taken the better part of a week in which I give most of my free time to grinding these unfair and unfun games. I don't give a damn that it's "balanced" because I win a lot of games getting high tier allies vs trash tier opponents. That's not balanced, useful or fun.

20 hours of actually playing, not including the 5-15 minutes of prep that goes into every single one of them because people will still dodge queue at the end of champ select, not including the 2-3 minutes of actual queue time that goes into every single one of them. Chances are when these games are done and w/e's left of my chat restricted games are done I'll probably get slapped with another fucking penalty because there's no end to the idiocy of Riot's matchmaker.

I would rather of been banned for 2 weeks than have to suffer through this stupidity. At least then I could of gone and had fun on one of my smurfs if I was so inclined. Hell they could of just banned me from ranked games for 2 weeks, but no, Riot thinks taking someone who likes to steal things and forcing him to work in a casino is the best method for rehabilitation.
