My reaction after having lose my promos to bronze 2 http://media0.giphy.com/media/M3qYJt4TnyDL2/giphy.gif
Ranked is overrated anyway.
Higher Rank = Better Privileges
Ex: Do not play Zyra mid! shes bad. I know because i am Challenjour.
Well if your Gold+ then ranked is overrated.
When you're Bronze or Silver, those exclusive skins that everyone but you is getting definitely stings. I plan on getting Gold then never playing ranked again
I can understand that. I'm mainly unranked so I don't really care about those skins.
Though if it was a Sion skin, then I'd be pissed.
What about a Pantheon Skin? Come on.. you'd be at least tempted, right? I know I would.
Good point.
But everyone else is NOT getting them...majority of ranked players in LoL are in Bronze or Silver.
Am I the only one who thinks ranked is nowhere near as toxic as normals?
My normals are nowhere near as toxic as my ranked.
what elo are you because certain elos (Bronze and Plat especially not Gold or silver) I can understand.
Unranked, so bronze I imagine.
Eeeeeeh usually you'll get seeded to high silver if you win 6-7 placements.
I mean...placements seem like too much pressure honestly.
Aye, it can be nerve racking but you gotta just be chilled. Assume you are playing as normal, don't go for fancy plays or try do be the next dank meme Reddit will collapse over. Pick champs you like playing that can snowball hard.
It's really not that much different. Except when people say "omg tryhards" you know the salt is coming.

I won 9 out of 10 placements... Silver 5...
10 out of 10...
Bronze 4
Just a generality and thisis if you have never seeded for a ranked league before.
Won 7 out of 10, placed in Bronze 1
I deal with less stupid crap in normals than I do in ranked.
idk I just seem to get people who don't try and annoy me
like a 3 man in dynamic draft that are all " HEY WE ARE ALL MID NOW!"
in ranked people are better to handle.
Maybe not literally the only one, but...Almost the only one, probably. I've only heard the exact opposite said by anyone, and I'm in agreement with them.
wow I sad a positive comment about ranked and 0 downvotes.
Do I get the cookie now or later?
Well, yeah, I mean I'm all for Ranked, seriously, but you can't just make stuff up that isn't in touch with reality. Ranked has always, always been a mode people avoid because of its toxicity. Granted, I don't think it's worse than Normals, but...Lots do, apparently.
When you thought you had a chance to play with the legendary Malicious Metal someday but you then realize you two are in completely different regions.....[zombie-nunu-bummed]
Promos suck and are a deterrent to playing ranked. It's a shitty system that should be abolished.
I never will be Platin. I never want to be Platin. I live a happy life.
"THERES ALWAYS NEXT TIME"
meanwhile im barely at gold 3... feelsbadman. Ill get to plat soon enough but i cant STAND being in gold
Highest I ever got to was gold 5 and I lost that before the season even ended [zombie-nunu-bummed]
I'd have just stopped there and played norms for the rewards. xD At least, if you're playing Ranked for the rewards.
it's the soul crushing feeling of repeated defeat that keeps my playing this game tbh. If you honestly really want to get gold 5 just play towards the end of the season, thats when all the bronze players are in high silver and all the actual good gold players are in plat etc because theyve climbed. season 5 took me 20 total games to get to gold 5 because i didnt play ranked till the very end, season 6 i had to vs diamonds for silver 2 rank... not a pleasant time.
Me at the start of the season:
''I'm gonna play a lot of ranked this season and hopefully end up in platinum''
Reality:
I did my placements, got placed in S4, had some fun with a friend in ranked, then promoted to S3 and stopped playing ranked. (a total of 20 games, lol)
Back 2 normals.

on the way to silver, won 3 straight games with him in my promos
About a month before the end of the season I made it to my plat Bo5. Being my first season I was very excited and determined to make it, I played three best of fives in one day, staying up to five in the morning. I each series was closer than the next, I lost the third because of a single team fight. The next day I was devestated, and went on tilt, went on a 15 game losing streak and ended the season at Gold V.
