Ranked is so fun

Bot lane going a combined 0/12/3 and losing tower in the first 4 mins

top going afk after losing lane and refusing to buy armor against a AD

every one flaming the mid laner for not following their very mobile enemy laner

doesn't matter if you can 1v3 and have gotten 3 red dragons doesn't matter if you try and cheer you team up and try to calm them down

every... single.... game... there is a intent feeder. a troll (like a actual troll no some one off meta and trying) or a afk

seriously, it may not be on my team but every game will have at least one of the three....

like once a enemy RQ after a yas on my team cast wind wall to block 3 ults that was literally on top of him... sure wind wall is broken but why screw your team over for it?

its just... sad I guess... I mean sure I'm only in gold at the moment and been plat before, but this meta and this elo ..... its .. a pub stomp every game... either my team gets going and doesn't stop. or my team gets rolled. no matter how good, or.. bad.. I do... ... and I cant even blame people for getting upset anymore with how badly the game snow balls now... its like once the enemy has 1 tower and 3 kills more then your team, 9 out of 10 games, its over.

I've even been reported and chat banned after asking people TO STOP FIGHTING... literally most of my comments in those games was "please stop. guys we got this. stop fighting. just mute each other and play. don't give up."

is any of this really considered fair or fun? I mean I love this game I truly do but lately its just... not fun to bother trying to improve your rank

I don't want free wins, I don't want free loses. I don't want the game over at 20-25 mins. I mean sure all this is cool for pro's and what not but damn... I miss elder dragons

I miss days when you could back and not lose a tower

hell I miss the days tanks did NO DAMAGE but it took your WHOLE team and a good 30 seconds to kill them after killing every one else (this may have been pre 30 when no one knew how to build armor / magic pen but still)

I miss days where only fed assasins or mages could delete a whole team when it takes only a fed tank now...

is it just me? am I bad? am I just missing the point? should I be happy the game is faster and you can snow ball then press the lead and finish the game before you can blink?
