Why do I torture myself???

Before we go into this, don't comment "git gud" or some stupid fucking joke because at this point I've heard it all. "Oh yeah just practice" etc, you know. Now, some back round info. I started in season 3, only played norms, then I came back in season 6, played ranked and got into bronze 1, then got trolled into bronze 3. This season, I got bronze 5 and got into bronze 1. Now the issue I have is I can't get a single team with: 1. A normal team comp, 2.No trolls, and 3. No toxics/flamers. So the question I'm asking, is why do I continue to play this game? Every game I get is riddled with trolls, flamers, and shitty players. I'm not saying "I DESERVE DIAMOND EGGS DEE", but if I am not having any fun playing these games then why am I playing them? I'm actually sick and tired of this game yet I continue to play it for no reason. I don't receive anything for climbing, and even if I win, its not fun. So at this point, if I keep playing, and try to get a stupid fucking digital border, then what will I gain?

I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't find ranked fun either. Almost every single #1 main of each champion is not even in Gold. The #1 Player of Master Yi in NA is in Bronze. That tells you a lot.

People can't climb BECAUSE of the toxic behavior, they can't deal with it so they are stuck in the position they are in. I was in Silver last season because it was my first season of ranked, and there weren't as many assholes as you see in Bronze. Now when I tried ranked this season I got autofilled as Support and I chose Bard because I main him in the MID lane and OMFG people were horrible.

I literally spent hours trying to figure out how to disable the in-game chat. I don't mean just /mute all of them, I mean so I don't see it in every single game. This fixed part of the problem, you just can't be like them. They deserve where they are.

Another solution would be just to play a champion you've been playing ever since you've started playing. When I got put in S1 last season, I constantly picked numerous champions BECAUSE I wasn't winning. So I went back to Veigar, the only champion I was good at, at the time. I've carried myself from S5 back up to S2 because of me completely ignoring people. If you make a mistake, don't make it seem like it's the end of the world. Learn from that mistake for next time.

I'm not saying practice, practice, practice. I'm saying practice a champion until you know how to face any match up and THEN enter ranked. If you still can't win, maybe this game isn't for you and you just need to play Normals. Ranked isn't suppose to be fun, it's suppose to be competitive.

EDIT: You see people telling you to focus on your CS, and this is truely the best advice I can think of. You can go 2/12/9 as Sion and still win the game.

Dude, it's just a game at the end of the day, you gain nothing but the satisfaction of winning. If you don't like it I'd really advise you to QUIT.

I know that's hard for some people because of their obsessive personalities, but take it as a process if you have to. Lower your game time to two hours a day, than one hour, and so on and so forth than just quit it all together.

A lot of people get sucked into this game BECAUSE of ranked. Winning releases endorphin, a lot of them. Seeing that LP tick up but knowing you have SO MUCH MORE to gain makes it tempting to keep playing. If it makes you mad, you get no enjoyment out of the game like you state, quitting shouldn't be that hard.

sorry to say this but they are right, you gotta get good. most of us have been there, 1 or more feeder/afker every game. but that kind of behaviors is mostly just in bronze. honestly i feel like bronze1>silver is harder than silver1>gold, so u either go back to playing causal or suck it up and play enough that you can hyper carry yourself and your teams out of bronze with just mechanics, and things'll get better.
