Ranked system Trolls

Shadedfool··2 votes·545 views

So today while playing a few Flex solo duo ranked games trying to rank up of course. I came across a huge issue that is still yet to be addressed. There are a lot of trolls in the Bronze category. Making it next to impossible to really advance or Making it much harder then it should be. I know i am not the best player out there but today has really made me hate that i have invested money into this game. out of my ranked matches i had 2 thresh go AFK back to Back games at the start, I had a Brand with an AD setup and the Tank mastery and so on and so forth. Is there no way we can implement something to help flag a game stating there is a troll or something so possibly we can get our LP back for that on player throwing?

Something needs to be done about the ranking system though for sure, make it so if you dont win enough games you dont rank and have to wait a week or something before you can try and place again. I just started league and last season i placed Bronze 5 and and got to my qualifiers multiple times only to have a bad jungle or support throw the games. This season i started off bad but cant even move from bronze 3 because of the same issues

Flex que isn't meant to be taken seriously.

As mentioned it is also In solo Duo as well. Flex queue is also still a ranked system for friends and shouldnt be treat as seriously as other ranked queues. Ranked is Ranked if it wasnt ment to be taken seriously it wouldnt be a ranked it would be norms. Im also working on trying to climb out of my Bronze into silver and I cant seem to do so because every time im in qualifie matches i get some troll on my team for a majority of the matches

Its actually intended to replace normal draft. Thats what they've already done on other servers, and what they said they'd like to do on all servers.

The fact is, is they still need to find a way to address the trolls in the ranking system, like i said im not the best but i know i can at least get high into silver or even maybe break into gold but i can never seem to get out of bronze because the the trolling in the qualifying matches. Today in solo with my threshes and Brand the response from them was ohhh well its fine, and to me that isnt ok when you are playing a in ranked game, a ranked game is the one where you should be actually trying. In norms i could care less if people troll there its fun and all but in ranked no.

Trolls are not the reason why you are stuck in Bronze.

Please explain then? How is it i can climb out to qualify but then out of those matches still do well personally but lose the match?

You don't play nearly as well as you believe you do.

and as stated i know im not the best, but when i get into a match and my support dies 3 times by chasing the other ADC and Support that is not my playing that is the other player and especially after they state they are AD set up and are playing a brand, and how does my playing come into factor when a player picks their toon buys items goes to leash then AFKs in the bush? How is that my playing?

It isn't, but those are games that all players have to deal with. If you think that kind of stuff doesn't happen outside of Bronze, you are mistaken.

Im sure it does but it seems to be a lot more frequent in the Bronze area, i only bring up bronze as the general because that is where i am at, what im proposing is a general feature or something to help all players who are actually trying to not suffer as hard from the players that do this kind of stuff on the norm to be fun or what ever it is.

Flex que isn't meant to be taken seriously.

This, sadly.

This is the que people go to for learning new champs.

It's basically the new norms.

I feel you man honestly after my last ranked game tonight i am seriously thinking of quitting ranked or even the game entirely as they have messed up everything this season jungle is a hot mess. autofill defeats the purpose of team builder and has caused more trolls,afk,and wait times. Then all the random placements for everyone getting chucked into bronze and everywhere else is absurd.

Shadedfool1 votes

im ok with autofiller seeing as people really dont like to queue support and i got thrown into support a few times and they were the better of my few matches, but i shouldnt or anyone shouldnt have to always be the support to make sure a match goes right for the bot lane, Jungle i like the new jungle it adds some nice features but there needs to be fail safes for the ranking system though for sure much like the remake feature or FF, a way to vote a player as troll so the match can be cancelled with no penalty other then a normal or even double penalty to the troll.

Well the autofill does not bother me i can support (while i hate doing it i can support). This however still does not solve the problem that people troll when they don't get the role they want honestly i still feel auto fill does NOT have a place in ranked. The jungle being a hot mess is true as the plants are not healthy at all the mob changes have hamstringed many good junglers that are now getting buffed more when they did not need it as them killing in lane was fine.

I would love a feature to do something about a troll but i have a feeling it would be abused. After all we know it's always the junglers fault right? I know i get blamed for lanes falling when people over push and get ganked cause they don't ward or always need help cause they call lol. Most laners that low do not understand what a jungler does.

With all due respect:

It is you, that is the issue in your game, not your team mates. If you are in bronze and have trolls on your team, by the same logic, the enemy is ALSO in bronze and has trolls on their team. Only when you start looking at your mistakes will you climb.

I can understand this and i know i make a good fair share of mistakes. I guess the main issue is it feels as though my team more so than the other has more troll, i have had games in the past going 20/2/16 and still got walked on goal wise in the match. Its a frustrating matter.
