Expect all the play2win people like me to ruin the experience of the for fun crowd since Riot is too lazy to simply make ranked a competitive game mode.

ranked IS a competitive game mode.

CarrierKestralApr 3, 20154 votes

not according to what they punish you for. THey would much rather you intentionally feed politely than carry the game complaining about useless teammates.

SukishooApr 3, 20156 votes

Complaining doesn't help the game any more then feeding does though so of course you'll get banned.

CarrierKestralApr 3, 20151 votes

I'm not the one feed, just the one who gets chat banned for complaining about it.

I've found that if you're doing well in a match, your advice tends to carry more weight. Use this to your advantage, if you know what is necessary to achieve victory then share that with your allies in a polite and constructive manner. Do you need towers? Ask people to group up and take objectives with you. Do you need more vision in your jungle or maybe the enemy jungle? Set an example and ask others to join, once you catch enemies in your jungle or save an ally from a potential gank they will see the benefit. Communication is key. Even if your allies might not have the same mechanical skills as your opponents, a well thought out plan can really influence the outcome of a game.

If the problem were that simple then I wouldn't be here complaining. The fact that I keep running into champion tryouts and even worse, people who don't know how to last hit, is the issue I'm dealing with. I'm silver fucking 2 and Riot keeps rigging the matches so I have to carry the bottom of bronze against LCS rejects. I shouldn't be moving mountains just to attain a 40%-60% winrate.

SukishooApr 3, 20154 votes

Because you're probably the one that like "OMFG This shit team can't do anything!!!!??!" and just rages all game. That's much more toxic then someone feeding.

CarrierKestralApr 3, 20151 votes

and you're probably the one going "why does everyone rage at me when I'm 0/20/0 with full AP garen?"

SukishooApr 3, 20151 votes

LOL AP Garen.

ROFL you're joking right? Gold which is supposed to be the average elo is filled with shitty players. Tell more about how ranked is "competitive." It doesn't even start to get competitive until you get past plat V.

Or you can just be a competitive player and NOT a whiny baby at the same time

I could bend over with my pants down at a gay bar and collect tips for a living as well, but I don't like getting fucked all day.

CheckMyDoublesApr 5, 20152 votes

You're in the ranking that you deserve...

Banned.

Crying about your team accomplishes absolutely nothing except giving yourself a false sense of superiority. If you were good enough to be in Platinum, Diamond or higher, you'd be there. You just must be unlucky because nobody else gets trolls, feeders or bad players. You never have bad games. It's everyone else's fault that you can't control your emotions and are too busy spamming the chat window to the point that Riot had to take it away from you.

Threads like these make me laugh.

CarrierKestralApr 5, 20151 votes

because league is a game of who has the best ego, not who can actually play the game. posts like this are why the community is so "toxic".

CheckMyDoublesApr 5, 20151 votes

If it was based on ego you'd have a higher ELO than you currently do.

In all seriousness, how hard is it to not rage in a chat box? It just shows you completely lack control. So you can blame everyone you want, except you're the one who is in front of the keyboard.

CarrierKestralApr 7, 20151 votes

well since you seem to be such a kind person, how bout you intentionally feed every game you're in since you apparently don't really care whether you win or lose, so let the other team win. Better yet, stay out of ranked.

CheckMyDoublesApr 7, 20151 votes

Except I'm not the one who is banned from ranked...

CarrierKestralApr 7, 20151 votes

which is my case and point. Why is your status in ranked determined by your manners and not how well you can play the game. Typical of two faced coins like you to reinforce that system though....

CheckMyDoublesApr 7, 20151 votes

Why does it have to be one or the other?

Ranking is not determined by manners, it's just a requirement to not be toxic for all game modes. I don't understand what's so unfair or bad about that?

CarrierKestralApr 8, 20151 votes

so you would reward an intentional feeder a higher rank for being polite than a professional player who doesn't try to restrict his language? yeah that sounds real fair and balance and totally based on your skill level. Games should not be a fucking child day care center, as such, they should be held to a professional sports standards, NOT the standards of the YMCA. If you don't want summon using racist or sexist language that i can understand, but not being able to call someone out for being bad, and or intentionally sabotaging the game, is self destructive in a competitive environment.

CheckMyDoublesApr 8, 20151 votes

Both those scenarios are aspects of toxic players, feeding and verbally abusive. Neither should be rewarded, why bring up such a silly example? Both those behaviors are toxic and should be punished.

"Professional sports standards" punish celebrating and unsportsmanlike conduct, so I don't get your point.

If someone isn't playing to your standards, abusing them in chat accomplishes absolutely nothing except boosting your ego and making yourself feel better, instead of focusing on winning.

That behavior is self destructive in any environment. Wouldn't you agree?

CarrierKestralApr 10, 20151 votes

so let me get this straight, someone who doesn't watch their language in a professional sport is considered worse than someone who, when said profesional game starts, sits down cross legged and does nothing the entire game? you fucking w0t?

CheckMyDoublesApr 11, 20151 votes

I never said nor even implied that, your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired.

Bad behavior doesn't excuse bad behavior. I can tell this is like having a discussion with a wall.

Enjoy your ranked ban.

CarrierKestralApr 11, 20151 votes

perhaps you should play ranked, but actually trying to do something more than push buttons seems to be beyond you.

I can tell you're either young or socially inept because you have no grasp of the intentional feeder argument. If someone is trying but goes "0/20/0" as you say (but I feel I have to point out to you that exact number is not what were arguing about here so don't bring it up) then they are NOT intentionally feeding. An intentional feeder is a troll who is killing themselves on purpose in order to lose the game and troll his team. That person will get ranked bans just like you did.

Do you understand so far? Intentional feed and toxic whiner baby are 2 different offenses but neither are ok. Every game has to have a winner and a loser that's how this works. Sometimes you will be the loser. You can't control the other 9 people in the game the only thing you can control is not being a toxic douche when things don't work out your way.

CarrierKestralApr 10, 20151 votes

so again, an intentional feeder should be ranked higher than me because he's polite? if the number didn't matter then why bring it up? if someone goes 0/5/12 I would call that unlucky when we lose. if someone goes 0/20/0 and says they tried I fail to see how they possibly could have with that score. Even if they were trying, then the problem still isn't with me as that player either shouldn't be in my rank or shouldn't be playing ranked at all. Ego should have NOTHING to do with ranked play, as such, I fail to see how a "verbally abusive" player is worse than an intentional feeder or a misplaced player unless you're so childish your emotions judge how well you play.

Its pretty stupid how you can get banned from any game mode on how you ACT. Just what you say gets you banned from playing. It seems pretty stupid and infringing on freedom of speech to me.

Angry MonsterApr 3, 20153 votes

You have clue what u are talking about. Freedom of speech is from government interference, not from a corporation private meeting place. Riot owns these boards and the play space.(servers).

Their is your government lesson for the day

Freedom of speech? When you signed up for your account on the website you agreed to their TOS, which states they can terminate your account for any reason they deem necessary. So when they deem you being an asshat against their company policy expect your account to be terminated.

Since a 10 Ranked game restriction because of being reported by people who can't communicate in 4 games today and grief up the games.

4 games in a row were toxic in ranked toxic players.

First two games of Normal Draft not toxic and players actually tried.

Obviously shows the problem is players in ranked.

Surr20plzApr 10, 20151 votes

The actual number doesn't matter (like I already told you).

Being verbally abusive is bad and will be punished (the person who didn't watch their language).

INTENTIONAL feeders are bad and will be punished (the person who sat down cross legged).

The misplaced player/under performing player as you call them, though they're not really misplace because one shit game wouldn't "misplace" them. If they are truly bad they will continue to fall and you'll probably never see them again.

You don't get to rage and make ad hominem attacks on that person. Do you understand that? Can you wrap your head around that you're not entitled to do that?

I see under performing players and I wonder how the fuck they got where they are with the dumb shit they do. I tell them not to do it but I don't call them fucking idiots.

Just don't do that.

It's so simple it's dumb.

Full disclosure: I've had chat bans. I've had them just for yelling at people in all caps with 0 ad hominem attacks. I find that kind of ridiculous, but the chat ban system is automated. If tribunal ever returns I won't get them again. In the mean time I curb my anger and type to the person in a civilized manner because I'm not an animal and neither are you.
