Small epiphany

I almost never type in chat, except for the occasional "drag 1 min", etc. When I start raging at my team that's not a good sign, obviously. The epiphany I had was this: when I queue up for ranked, I'm queuing up for a match where I have a PERCEPTION that my team will know the game's and their champion's mechanics inside and out. So, the match I just played had a TERRIBLE Tristana...on my team of course. She would put an explosive charge on an enemy and not attack it at all, she would jump INTO an already lost fight, she would not try to move out of kog ult or morg snare at all, just a very bad player that shouldn't be in ranked. On top of that, I'm trying my hardest to give tips like "don't jump into opponent", "move out of kog ult", etc. The player comes back and says "Oh, sry, i'm still learning". That phrase immediately enrages me in ranked.

In short, when I queue up for ranked and have this perception that people shouldn't have to "learn" something and when they obviously have a long way to go, the situation at hand directly conflicts with my ranked queue perception. I've seen a few posts about not letting fresh level 30s queue up for ranked, I'm all for that. For me, at least, when I rage it's because someone has queued up in the wrong queue and it's obvious based on how they're playing. People need to learn if they want to "learn" something about the game, that's what normals are for. Ranked is when you want to prove your skills.
