im gold 4 all my opponents are silver 2~gold 3 yet i have bronze players on my team and even in my lane as support? ive had a string of bad games recently and i cant help but feel like the games matchmaking is just tilted heavily against me in the majority of my games. no1 rotates properly to defend every1 is a tiltlord and its hard not to get upset with people when they are consistently making mistakes and blaming everything under the sun but themselves.

i go into games accepting the fact that im not that good at it in the grand scheme of things, and that helps to an extent, but i atleast know that hitting the nexus until its health bar hits zero ends the game. my teammates on the other hand seem to think its a nonstop TDM until somebody surrenders.

ive been flamed griefed and completely disregarded in an absurd amount of my games lately and if i get frustrated and say anything about it i am the one who gets punished by riot. even if i try to explain to people my decisions in as calm and matter of fact a way as possible i still get punished simply for "arguing". people can troll and int/grief my lane as much as they want as long as they dont say anything theyre on my team the very next day at the same exact time doing it all over again.

im getting sick of this crappy matchmaking and all of the people who are a part of it. i really enjoy the game itself but im finding it hard to justify playing it to myself now just because of the people it expects me to carry and this asinine report system.

Because you've been playing flex queue, where you're silver 4 not gold 4

If you’re ever looking for a support in soloq, hit me up. I main Naut, but play a wide variety of supports. Only catch is that I’m Silver 3

So, just so you're aware, the borders around people's frames isn't indicative of their current season's ranking. So if you see a Bronze border in your Gold ranked, that's not their current standing, it's what they finished at last year. I don't believe it's even possible for someone who's placed in Bronze to be playing with someone in Gold, even if their MMR is that good.

Additionally, tis the (end-of) season for everyone to rush to ranked. The 2019 season ends Nov 18, so everyone is rushing to get to Gold before season's end to earn their rewards. You're getting all kinds of skill levels of people trying to last minute this, so you've good ones mixed in with the bad ones, and you're also going to be getting lots and LOTS of trolls who will try their damndest to drag people backwards and deny them gold and also goad them into getting punished so they lose all of their rewards. It's a pretty lousy time of year to be trying to progress in ranked, so honestly, if you're already at Gold, just throw in the towel and do norms until the season's end so you don't drop and miss your rewards. Also, DO NOT flame or do anything that could jeopardize your rewards, because there's not enough time now to recover your honor should you get punished.

case in point i just played a game and i get this guy https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Iron+5+Account who locks in jinx support dies six times in lane and tries to steal every cannon minion. his passive aggressive bullshit attitude is not bannable even tho hes an inting loser thats just trying to get a rise out of people, demote them, and get them banned.

i have had enough of this garbage, it is out of control at this point. why should i frustrate myself trying to win and get better when some jack off with 50 banned accounts can just make or buy a new one and ruin my day every day? what is the point? im legit having a mental breakdown over these clowns and im the one whos getting punished. i dont understand what i did to deserve this honestly but im convinced its not coincidence anymore. maybe its just latent paranoid schizophrenia kicking in but it honestly feels like im being targeted for griefing at this point.

Because blitzcrank bot cannot detect griefers the same way it can with negative words so they'll either A)never get punished, or B)never get punished lol
