Ranked isnt enjoyable anymore
I used to like this game but now i find it more of a stressful hobby then a actual enjoyable game. I waste 40 minutes of my life to see my teams throw, troll and just be toxic players who ruin the game in a competitive environment because they do bad or get their feelings hurt. I just played a long match where our morgana top was insanely toxic and when the adc pointed out she was toxic she started trolling and intent throwing by only going top and farming jungle during late game teamfights and after everyone would die she would go in, die and flash mastery emote. Even when winning for the most part i feel that it wasnt really a win but just free lp. While this may seem like a rare occurrence due to it being ranked and not a norm its actually more frequent in ranks than norms from what i notice. Since today i had around 3 games where people intent threw because they were salty and just not playing the game. In one case a gangplank in a ranked match said "i was on facebook for most of the match lol" and one game the enemy team didnt have a jungler due to someone trolling but we still lost because my team was cocky and dove inhib towers even when i told them to focus objectives. Its honestly really sad seeing ranked become a gamble hoping you have a better team than the others and it doesn't really show ones individual skill level since riot is going for the "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch" approach to ranked. And its evident when you see players who are very good stuck in bronze while some players in diamond are worse than silvers due to the flawed ranked system. Also some ranked games can be determined at champ select depending on which team has the better champions and whoever counter picked who (EX Ez top picked into a Trynd top.) But the best part is when the enemy team has a dynamic queue when you are in solo queue and completely stomps your team since they are communicating using skype or curse. These are the reasons why many people are just done with ranked or find it very stressful since maybe 1/10 ranked games feel like a close game that was enjoyable while the other games feel like absolute dirty stomps or throws TL:DR Ranked is missing the point of ranked where people abuse flaws in the system and trolls are frequent with very little payoff and is overall non enjoyable due to intent throws, feeding, balance, and dynamic queue making it feel more like a dice roll than the test of someones skill level
Some may feel completely different but these are my feelings towards the ranked system.
