This is why I can't take Ranked seriously ... (Support Main)

You see this? I'm in Platinum V, and while it's not that impressive ... at least players at this rate know enough about the game and mechanical gameplay to be considered above average. However, this is ... what is this? Is this even Platinum? I expect more from people, and even if we get 1 feeder, least the others should manage and try to coop with the situation. But this? What am I, a Support, going to do in order to save the day?

I can't. With such horrific circumstances, how can I climb with such odds? Worst part is, this isn't the only game where I had people perform badly and not learn from their mistakes. My past games, my scores have been good (except 1 out of 12) but I still lost cause people keep costing me the game. That saying of "If you're good enough, you will climb" is absolute nonsense. Okay, maybe it applies but in situations such as if you're a hyper carry champion or your team stole Baron, ect. but my point stands- there's no way I can prove myself when i'm given such one sided games with no way of winning, at all.

Riot, I love your game. I know bad games happen and people can perform badly, including myself .... but, please .... your game is very off putting for Supports, and there's a very solid reason why no one wants to play Support, hence why you forced Autofill onto us. Instead of making people go into Support, help us Support Mains have a better chance of winning games where our skill / performance can be properly shown without people holding us back.

Now imagine playing with those teammates EVERY SINGLE GAME. That is Bronze Lyfe.

He doesn't need to imagine, because if he was in bronze he'd climb out of it anyways lol.

That's exactly the reason why i've lost every desire to play ranked. LoL has adapted such a snowball heavy environment, that not only has made the game obnoxiously unfun but, it has also transformed the community in a bunch of greedy and naggy 10 year-olds in just two years of consecutive snowball inducing changes to the game( starting in s5 with the new baron buff ).

This is what I get to work with in my p5/p4 promos:

I can't even rely on the company, nevermind my team.

It's also pretty crappy that if you dodge in champ select when you're in promos, it counts as a loss. Riot gives me more and more reasons why I can't bring myself to play Ranked.

Actually you can get around those crashes. Go to task manager and force close it. The new client doesn't remove you from lobby if you close it this way. If you don't have the new client then I guess you have to deal with it.

I'm playing on the old client because the new client had the habit of just giving a black screen at champ select, which also forces you to dodge.

I think after the reset when everyone's MMR was still high but they got demoted, Rito made a change to match making to screw everyone hard until they were only gaining about 20 LP per win. They even mentioned tweaks to match making a while back. Ever since then it's been nothing but straight fuckery every game.

I stopped doing solo queu completely. I always go in with me as top/adc and a mid + jungle/top . At least that way i can guarantee that 2 out of the 3 lanes won't feed, and the 3d can be helped. But yeah it's rediculous, Riots seems to care way more about someone who has to go afk to take a dump than they do about actual feeders/griefers/bots.

Speaking about bots, i don't know how many of you have recently played TT or ARAM because they're just sad.

I dont understand how can anyone take rankeds seriously in this game.

The system is so rigged that is disgusting. In normals it is even worse, but at least they dont scam you your league points.

You are in Platinum 5. If you are in a elo with a 5 on it then you should just give up hope. Espacilly if you got people like me wich try out new champs in Ranked.
