League No Longer A Game Of skill.

So, i climbed from bronze 4 to gold 5 just this last season, of course in bronze and silver there generally are more trolls than there were in gold ( from my experience) however, after taking my 10 provisionals i was matched up with such people who seemed like they had just hit lvl 30... i won 4 and lost 6. It demoted me alllllll the way to silver 4, the league that i had tried so hard to climb out of to escape the bad players. why the hell such a large drop? because the 10 matches were full of afks trolls and feeders? Here a note: 2 losses were fair, the other 4 were not due to some sort of negative experience with a player. I can accept the 2 matches that i lost legitimately but wtf, league of legends is no longer a game of skill, when i queue up i pray that i will have less idiots on my team than the other team. Its not LAW to follow meta, but the meta is there because it works. So when i get a zed support who goes 3-13 or something like a draven who afks at level 2 because Lulu is too much of a lane bully, they im sorry but why the fuck should i lose any small amount of LP for that? Its not fair, and i know some of you will say "oh, well dont worry about them just focus on improving yourself" well newsflash that's the same shit i did last season to escape this hellhole refereed to as silver and now im back in it. There is no way i belong in silver.. but the more i try to get out the more im thinking the -match me with teammates- button is a sticker that has a -match me with retards- button behind it. so many people must understand my difficulties and i have put up for it way too long. Riot is a great company who made such an awesome game that is incredibly fun in the rare game you get good teammates. I want to know, when is this bullshit going to stop? i feel there is no penalty for mass feeders and trolls, why should i be punished for actually playing properly? I can't even practice for ranked in normals or draft pick because its the same shit as always and im so sick of it... i try to do whatever i can to help my behind teammates (the feeders) but it is so incredibly useless. they just feed some more. Can't riot look back into chat logs and see that when im cussing and raging at my team its because they did something incredibly stupid that often times costs us the game? ive been 14 day banned 3 times, chat restricted for probably more than 250 games and i have improved, but now when i rage its not because "fuck you for killing me you are better than me" its "wtf is this zed support doing?" or "why the fuck is our jungler 0-16" (or 0-12, i've had both.) This is your community riot, its filled with "assholes" like me who are trying to get the truth out, but i am often one of those who are punished for extremely common mistakes that have provoked me. Thanks for reading and if you didn't - vvvvvvvvv

TL;DR: League of legends is a game of luck because you might get less/more retards on your team than the enemy team.

Everyone who did prov's is most likely 1-2 tiers lower then they were before. The highest you can get is Plat 1 even challenger players can't get past that.

But what i want to know is why. League of legends needs a tier between silver-gold or bronze-silver because the gap of skill is too vast. The MMR system reset clearly needs a rework if it sets people back so incredibly far. it took me over 150 games to finally get gold, now all of those 150 games were a complete waste. riot needs to put themselves in our shoes and realize their system is broken.

I know there terrible at trying to balance the game or scru up on many things, i love the game league of legends . But there team of Workers is one of the worst i've seen in a Video Game. Only Team I like are the people who do the Visuals for the game there amazing. But the balance team, champ team, and rework team are terrrrrrrible. They know nothing about how there own game works. COMPLETELY ignore players advice when lets say like 90% of the community thinks X change they made is terrible. They go ahead and do it. Riot isn't a player focused company there Video Game company who knows nothing about their own game and could careless about there players

What i think they should do is hire staff from experienced pro players say from LCS who actually know the game THEN bring some changes. 100% change for the better guaranteed.

That's how League felt to me most of the time. All I can suggest is take a nap, play something else (Skyrim), and get back to it.

Ah, yes the good ol' break. Im not saying you're wrong, but after a few naps and some COD the same community is still waiting for me to return. It is a temporary solution to a permanent problem.

Sorry bro, but I can't offer better words than what I put up. Hopefully your luck changes next few games.

Thanks for the sympathy, I hope my luck does change.

It's because the crying 12 year olds are what fund their LCS, so naturally they will cater to them. Join the club of logical thinkers...it's a small group. Most would rather have a "nice teammate" that goes 0-13-0 because telling them not to chase the tank is now "toxic".

AbstracT Theory1 votes

That is so much of how i feel.. I tell somebody that they did something incredibly stupid that just cost my team the game and im "Toxic". BOOM 9 reports and an insta chat restriction. Its a broken system.

Nucleophilic atk1 votes

Yup. I literally got chat restricted for not being nice enough. I sent in ticket, he said, "it is important to note that you didn't do anything wrong." Da fuck? After that, I get another one. This time it was because I told some rager to "calm down ffs"....34 game chat ban for telling him to calm down. Lyte is the worse thing that happened to this game.

Yeah, welcome to low elo in ranked. You've got two choices, either grind through it and grow as a player. Or get used to playing Aram and normal unranked.

AbstracT Theory1 votes

Thats just the thing... i want such a low elo in pre4, i was gold but i got demoted to the league of 21...

Kuroi861 votes

Could be your mmr dropped some at some time before the reset.

AbstracT Theory1 votes

that wasnt what i meant to type lol, i worked to get out of such a low elo in pre4, i climbed from b4 to g5 and now i back in silver. i climbed continually even the day before the reset.
