Welp Riot you win. I am done playing league

After closing in on 2 years of playing league i am done. I am tired of this toxic as hell community that runs rampant in the game and forums. I am extremely tired of the non stop client issues which i have lost enough lp to easy rank up twice and btw i am tired of the sh!t ranking system as well for solo queue. This season i have not duo'ed with anyone i have been straight going it alone been to promos at least 12 times this season to have all of them either have a vast amount of feeders afks or trolls to ruin the game. All but one promo series had this and that was the most recent one tonight which your client decided to lock up and crash in champ select which of course if you "dodge" in promos it causes you to be kicked out of it which i had zero control over.

So yeah that is great now i am on a 6 game losing streak with the most toxic trash this game has to offer all fighting each other more then the other team.Yet you don't want to do the "toxic island" punishment cause it will not help them "reform" so all of us should pay right? But then again i bet it would be bad for business if you did considering it's easily 80% of your base right? Then lets start with the if you are good you will climb crowd tell me that when you are in mid bronze due to your last season with friends that screwed you by rage quiting and it affects where you are this season despite the fact of going 7/3 in the placements and still getting dumped in bronze 4 just to climb to 2 and every time i get a promo for it bam sudden losing streak. So i would really love to see this crowd put there money where their mouth is and get an account that is tanked deep in b4 and get out.

Now for those reading this at home and saying man he is pissed or "he just mad he bad" or whatever else have you. Yes i am pissed cause despite the fact that my kda stays 2.3 to 1 and the fact on my main i DID(being the keyword) have a 60%+ when rate on this champ so i should be climbing yet the lol gods decide to throw me with toxic trash that can't quit arguing with each other to play game even my last game i had my adc cussing me out( i got auto filled on support) and i was thresh and the other team is smart enough to hide behind the minions and this guy is complaining cause i am not hooking or landing 100% them yet blitz is not landing his either and shooting them more then me but i am the most horrible person on the planet.

This game was with a team that was b3 and b2 mostly with 2 silvers against a nearly full silver team with 1 bronze so yeah this is fair right? But wait whats that you say silver is pretty much the same as bronze? Really? well in this case it was not and i payed the price since these guys did not want to focus and trash talk all game. So you know what i am done i have been doing everything i can to improve from the test tool to vids and i keep getting better and better yet this is becoming soul crushing to play and unfun. So what is there left to do i have all the champs about 60% of the skins so i don't see the point in playing on for anything else now since the one thing that would be fun is not.

So your ranting and quiting so why make a post? No one cares that you leave and most are just going to flame anyhow why bother? I am posting for the fact cause if they never see the disappointed customer nothing will change. Because this game WAS something i enjoyed so when you enjoy something you have a passion for it hence if you did not care about you just drop it and move on. I didn't sit here for almost 2 years playing not to care about my time invested and what money i spent. With that said i will not spend another dime on lol and will be done.

Ps. don't forget to randomly down vote without comments and such :D

Cheers Shifue

The problem is your playing rankeds.

Aram, normals, Poro, ascension, etc...are the only ways to have fun in this game.

Change your mind.

The OP does address one issue that is very apparent and increasingly problematic over the last few seasons and that is the toxicity of the community. There is no question that the behavioral measures Riot has implemented are just not working. I've been logging my games most of this season and more than half of the them have at least one toxic individual, AFK or intentional feeder (ranked in that order). Frankly, the claim that toxic behavior is only found in a slim minority of the community is---no offense Aatrox---the greatest lie of all.

While I do agree with you about the toxicity, the rest of your post is simply a 'you problem'. If you can't climb out of Bronze it really has nothing to do with your teammates, it is simply you. Yes, it's frustrating at times especially when you watch your team refusing to group or push objectives, but if you're truly better than your opponents then you will climb.

You mentioned that you have a 2.3 KDA---that's pretty mediocre honestly.

I've been playing since early season 2 and i'm still playing - still struggling to climb the ranks. You must remember that the other players in your games are just like you - they wouldnt start the game if they didnt want to play and win. They are suffering a lot of pressure as well, and your attitude towards them isnt going to help them stay calm.

Focusing on stats such as win rates, performance in the numbers, is only going to pull you down. If you consistently keep thinking you're better than everybody else you close your mind off to constructive criticism and refuse to learn from your mistakes. thereby preventing yourself from improving to the point you can actually rank up.

If there's one thing Dark souls taught me, its that you havent truly lost until you give up. It doesnt matter how many times you suffer a setback as long as you dont stop trying - you are given infinite chances as long as you conform to the rules of the game.

When it comes to the community, use the mute function. That is literally all you can do, and all you have been able to do for the past years. Luckily we can now mute pings as well. If you want to go at it like a complete solo player, not even trying to cooperate with your teammates, then i suggest you type /mute all at the start of every game and focus completely on your own performance.

If you are looking to climb you have to stop taking the game personally. Dont grow attached to matches - if you lose you lose, the match is over and you can move on. Find a trusted friend you can rant to in chat for 5 minutes or so, and then start your next match with a fresh state of mind. Its that simple - when the match is over, forget about it and go for your next one. Dont linger over defeats, there's nothing you can do about them now and they will only make you feel bad.

If someone is criticizing you and you dont like it, ignore them. Remember they're on your team and they want to win too. If you lose, they lose, and if they lose, you lose - if they are criticizing you they're obviously not focusing on their own performance and they're not going to improve. Be better.

I can understand your frustration. That said, I think a lot of your frustration is caused by lack of understand on how the game works. You say you have a 2.3 KDA like that's a good thing when a 2.3 KDA is actually below average (2.7 is roughly the average.) If you're looking to climb your KDA should be at least 3. Furthermore, KDA isn't the only stat that you need to look at. As a jungler, kill participation is extremely important and yet you very rarely get above a 50% kill participation. A lot of times this is indicative that you are power farming too hard and you aren't watching the map for opportunities to gank. In many games you also have some of the highest deaths on your team which as a jungler is extremely bad since you get to choose what fights you are a part of. The fact that your deaths are so high indicates that you are choosing bad times to engage which is making you less effective. Also, your warding is EXTREMELY low. You typically have the lowest wards placed of anyone on your team and you never buy vision wards. If you aren't ganking for your lanes then you should be at least warding for them to help them avoid getting ganked.

And that's just from looking at your stats. If I reviewed one of your replays I'm sure I could find much, much more that you could improve on.

My account was Bronze 4 0 LP with less than a 40% win rate in season 5. I was losing more LP for a loss than I was getting for a win. Once I started owning my mistakes and I got some help from higher ranked players I was able to turn my account around and get to silver 5 with close to a 70% win rate. Next season I won 7 out of my 10 placement games and got place in Bronze 3. I didn't let that discourage me and I climbed to gold 5 in season 6. You can climb if you have the right mentality and focus on improving rather than blaming your teammates.
