Ranked Bans = Negative Experience

Nami in Bush··4 votes·590 views

Why were Ranked Bans implemented? I have a very good question. Riot said they would not make a punishment of making a queue full of toxic people

"For some types of players and some types of behaviors, punishments are the best method of enacting change. Some of our punishment features include chat restrictions and ranked restrictions, and the new Leaverbuster which forces players into a low priority queue if they routinely AFK or leave games. In addition, the system gives players frequent and immediate feedback about their negative behaviors every time they try to get back onto the Rift. In the punishment-related blog, we’ll dive into the design rationale for some of these punishment systems, and ** why we believe ideas like Prisoner’s Island (where you match negative players with negative players) are poor design, and what we’ve done to improve on these concepts."** http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/player-behavior/exploring-player-behavior-design-values

This makes Normal Draft EXTREMELY Toxic. I have Ranked Bans myself and I have many more to go. The first 5 games include this: -I was told to kill myself multiple times -Was told that crying wont bring my dad back (after saying 'pls pick champs with knock ups') -I should have been abortionized -How I'm sht at the game -How I don't deserve to be alive -They'll kill my family And much much more personal and direct insults after I do seemingly nothing or bring up a valid point.

Riot FORCES me to play this every game in order to get ranked privileges back after I dish out less personal insults. I don't understand how these other people aren't chat banned either, I get chat banned though if create a logical argument rather than "FGGIT U SCK MAJOR NGGER DCK". I cannot say that what I say is correct, but for fcks sake, how are these children not chat restricted, banned, or an even better question, why did Riot create something they said they heavily disagree upon?

First off you should start every game by muting everyone on your team so you don't have to listen to the toxicity. There is almost no good reason to be typing in chat during a game anyways unless you are going to say GJ or WP to one of your teammates after they do something right. Everything else can be said with pings and if your team does not respond to those there isn't much you can do to change them. I have had Ranked restrictions in the past and I agree they are hell to get through so your best bet is to find a friend that you can voice chat with during the game and just try to have as much fun with it as possible rather than lamenting your situation which you have put yourself into in the first place.

I was duo with a friend, it is still terrible. I need my chat sometimes to say complex strats that I cant specifically do with pings. I cant have fun in the game because I have to WIN to get rid of the amount of games and I have teammates that don't deserve to win. The opponents don't deserve to win either with the amount of sht they talk, too. Ranked Restricted makes me not want to play the game at all. I play with a group of ~6 people and none of them want to play since the past few patches because of how terrible the patches were and that they cant duo with me in ranked. My one friend wants to do duo with me for ranked so he was helping me get through the Draft games.

I mentioned things they did in chat, but I forgot to mention things like this. -Recalling in bush at 30 hp, teammates INTENTIONALLY runs to me and gets both of us killed. -Intentional Feeding over 3 cs -Taking smite and following me around the Jungle saying 'Loser' every time he took my camp

The game isn't fun at all because of this. Being talked down to, doing better, and being teamkilled is a bullsht game and I'd rather play with the CS:GO community than Normals Draft.
