Placement and Ranking system.
Why the Hell should it count the division from the previous season?!
This is ridiculous. It's bad enough the terrible players one mostly ends up playing with, and now this.
I mean, clearly Riot its trolling! Just like all those players that troll every game and make you lose. Like those idiots, who spend more time pinging the bloody obvious (because they are totally oblivious of the existence of a mini-map), than playing. Most, do not have, either the intelligence, the skill, the gaming system or the internet connection to play this game, yet, they keep plaguing the game and making very decent payers, such as myself, stuck in Bronze division.
I am an working adult, who actually enjoys playing a couple of LoL games and have fun after work, or on my days off. Nonetheless, i play to win, not for participation trophies. That also means, due to my many other commitments in life, i dont have a pre-made team to help me climb the ranks, i am sure i am not alone here.
Winning is fun, losing a fairly played game can also be. But only if fairly!! Not because of the stupidity of members in your own team helping the opponent from minute one in the game.
This new placement rule is literally messed up, it has never been good, but now it's terrible. It's seems the sort of thing that some extremist feminist or crazed SJW would come up with. Really looks like it. - Just put the good ones down!!
And this brings me on to the flaming. Yes, curse the flaming players! Those evil players who curse!
There is a lot of players who flame for no reason, other than their own poor judgement, but TRUST ME, there IS a lot of flaming with founded cause, like, for example, i end up flaming, when it's just impossible not to say something, whenever i get idiots that keep feeding and doing stupid plays that penalize the team. Who the Hell wouldn't?! Everyone know's a team loss, it's your loss, if we were evaluated based on single performance, no one would flame. i wouldn't. Jesus, i can post you here, one game, where i had a player on my team, that did 0-23-0!! In ranked! Tell me you wouldn't flame.
I know it, you know it, everyone with a little of a brain knows it, if we get one, or two trolls in our team, we're done! We all know, whats coming for us, and that's a REALLY BIG RED COLOR "DEFEAT" and some negative points added to your score. Is this system fair?
At work, if one employee is doing bad, not performing up to company standards or the required for his or her position, and therefore penalizing the group, what happens? He or she will most likely will get no bonus, no promotion and will most likely get fired! Period! Bring some of that to this game please.
Ranking system should be based on individual performance, not based on overall team results. That is how the good players would quickly climb the ranked ladder and the idiots and the trolls, remain together trolling and penalizing each other.
