Toxicity, inting, quiting, bullsh*t ranked...

I find it sad that there are better players in norm games than ranked and trying to get to a place where you are playing only with people of your skill is nearly impossible with the current system. Playing norms has far less toxicity, inting, afkers and trolls than ranked. This is a problem bc people want to actually enjoy ranked games. How are you supposed to climb out of the dumpster fire that is iron and bronze when 80% or more of your games are decided by inters and afkers. I lost 7 of 10 games due to this and won 1 of those 10 initial placement games due to trolls. the other 2 were normal games decided by skill...which was great!

Why there is a penalty after lost games due to team mates who are trying to force a loss is beyond me. Regardless of talent 4 people can lose due to one troll. I have seen many great attempts from others and myself to carry, but the weight gets so heavy with low elo games that it is extremely difficult. Either start people at gold and let them achieve new ranks or lose them from there or come up with a solution to people being penalized by trolls. They have too much power and are ruining the game.
