Missions in Ranked is Toxic

Missions already create hostility in games where people focus mission objectives and don't care about how well they play or if they intentionally throw the game as long as they get their mission rewards but now you have missions telling people the only way to get them is to play ranked. You do realize that people like me, who lose every ranked game they play and who only play casual, are going to go into ranked and do poorly and then just wait for the team to ff or lose. Idc if I lose all 3 games, Ill just go back to playing casual without a care in the world. Those on my team who actually care about rank will care. But Riot obviously doesn't care about them because if they did they would not intentionally mix us together.

Now this does not mean that I will not try my best, of course I will. But when the team has all 4 drakes and we have 0 and the score is 20 to 1, Im just gonna spam ff votes and let the inevitable happen.

Riot forcing players to play ranked was a mistake, Riot Support even told me there is no other way to get the completion 2020 chest. needless toxicity and dangerous goals... shameful. item 2421 [sg-soraka]

I just made a post about this yesterday, lol, look at my name. People loved me on their team in ranked when I helped lose those 3 games :) And I say helped, not caused. ARAM is a different playstyle than SR, that's a fact. And when that's all you play for years in this game, you forget about little stuff in SR, like I forgot about gold items as a support hahahahaha!!!! I didn't care though, I tried. I remember now why I quit SR, because it's 500% more toxic than ARAM. I went back to the murder bridge after my matches and it was soooo nice. Quiet'ish. Respectful'ish. Just.... so much better haha.

Now, I log in today and see that if I want to get that chest, I have to GO BACK to SR for a game that we get 2 dragons?!! LOLOLOL!!! Well I haven't done anything reportable so far, though I'm sure I racked up a few in those 3 games, especially since one guy literally typed that he knew he was gonna report me when he saw that I had teleport as a support on bot. I don't know the idiot meta in SR nor what spells I'm SUPPOSED to take, haha! Remember those ol' LoL videos where the tagline was "Play Your Way!"??? LOLOLOLOL! No, it's play how everyone else is playing or get reported... in SR at least. And it wasn't just me people were flaming, it was like everyone on everyone, on both sides, in EVERY, SINGLE game, haha.

All good, nothing will come of those unfounded reports. But I guess I get to go back into the toxic cesspool that is SR and keep playing until they stop with these SR-only missions. At least I won't have to do ranked. And yes, I know I don't HAVE to play them, and I can skip all of the mission rewards... it just seems a little too much like segregation against people who HATE Summoner's Rift. But screw it, I want that chest :D I guess round 2, here we go! WOOO WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

So forcing you to play a few ranked games (that you might even enjoy or win, which goes to show how pessimistic you're being) in order to get an optional reward is toxic? Please correct me if I misunderstood, but you're being a baby.

I was disappointed to see this mission requirement as well. It makes sense given that the quest line is to celebrate the new season, but I have to give up completing it rather than ruin the ranked experience for the people who would be matched with me.

Ok, first off, no one is forced to complete those missions. If you don't want to play ranked, just DON'T.
