Subscription for seperate ranked que?

I don't really mind paying 5 or 10 dollars a month for a separate ranked que. People are treating ranked like normals, giving up for the tiniest of reason. It's not even that the team is losing, it's all because someone did some minor thing then they refuse to play because of that. 7 out of my past 10 games lost were because "I don't give a fuck" attitude. Example. Jungler camps bot lane. Top gets upset because JG is never top and gives up. Example 2. Lux took electrocute instead of Comet. ADC refuses to join team at all point in the game.

The only reason why this behavior is allowed to continue is because it's harder to punish passive aggressive trolling than it is to punish bad words. At least with the subscription, assholes would be force to choose to either pay to be an asshole in subscriber's ranked or continue to do what they're doing in regular ranked/normals. This way, the f2p players will still have their free ranked que with the same amount of toxic experience as before, and the pay to enjoy people would have their ranked que sans assholes.

It all boils down to whether a portion of the community is willing to pay the price of a skin monthly large enough to make it happen. We made west coast servers -> central happen, so I believe we can make this happened. Hell, Riot is getting more income, so it should be easier than asking for east cost servers.

Rather than having a "separate" queue for ranked. League really needs to consider the community it has built. League of Legends wants to pretend it is a Sport - Even making eSPorts... Yet what other sport do you know of where you can consistently play badly ... and you are allowed to keep playing at a competitive level? Normals are for fun ... Ranked is for competition. And League has built an attitude of "You can't flame ... but you can troll with your champion pick / feed / play poorly.

Michael Jordan was one of the most toxic basketball players in his day. (Read - "The Jordan Rules") - Yet ... Michael Jordan is still known as the best basketball player of all time.

Ranked is for winning - not for having fun. But Riot has created a community where Ranked is for fun - for trolling ... it is not for competition.

If you really think a subscription will remove trolls, feeders, afkers, etc from ranked, you have NEVER played a sub based MMO.
