Dear riot

Dear Riot. Please enable only brain dead champs in anything below silver. Of course it won't happen and its only a joke. But I've lost more than 15 games in the last 2 days while winning only three thanks to (not trying to be toxic hard to find a nice way of saying it) brain dead teammates. They consistently lose their lane, feed, walk into zero vision enemy jungle, grab buffs instead of protecting inhibs etc. I try my damnest to not be toxic but when they pull stuff like this day in day out every game normals and ranked. It REALLY makes it hard not to be. Even the nicest of players still have to deal with this. I feel like the toxicity in this community roots not from genuinely toxic people but just downright tilt from getting pinned with horrible players consistently. You want players to work as a team to get out of low elo. While it takes 5 people to make a team. But only one player to feed a lane to chuck the game out of control. Just please will we ever get ranking for individual play rather than team. 70% of your player base is stuck below gold. almost 70 million people play your game that's 49 million people in bronze/silver. I think at least 20% of those players don't belong in the elo but are merely stuck in it due to consistently bad/trolling teammates. That's 9.8 million people. Which is 7.14% of your player base looking at themselves wondering what they did to deserve this. Who eventually can't take the tilt anymore and start to become toxic. But if we ban vel koz because our bot lane wants to go vel koz "adc" since they didn't get mid we have to either trade them, put up with it, or ban vel koz to then get punished for banning it in the first place. This is mostly a venting post and I don't suspect any real or legitimate answers from anyone but at least shoving it off my chest and accepting the they have my money why would they bother now aspect of gaming I'm sure it won't matter.

Oh forgot to mention that now the client consistently also DC's me during loading screens or in game and I get punished for a client that does not like my computer. Don't know why I have to buy a brand new computer for a game I played just fine a few months ago. And I'd send in a bug report. Except the support page doesn't like me either and always says I can't login. It feels like a game I used to love just took my money and ran once they had it. I know its a free game but who doesn't buy skins and champs nowadays. I've sunk more than 300$ on the game.

I have met some similar experiences (not velkoz adc, it's a ryze adc) and since then when I see a obvious bad teammate I usually dodge. I know that dodging isn't right, and it takes away LP. However, I would rather lose a bit of LP and go queue up with a time penalty than lose A LOT of LP and also A LOT of time, trying to recover a lost lane and simply losing again.

PS: Only Dodge if you're 100% sure that you're going to lose and that no one else is going to dodge. I mean, no one wants to play with a aatrox adc, a soraka mid and a vladimir jungle (Unless they are trolling or have some secret plan that you don't know about, which is highly unlikely) If you feel like someone else is going to dodge, you might as well let them dodge and then exit queue, wait for a minute or two, then queue up again.

Edit: Wait, why is this on memes and games? Is this a trap?

I came here for memes, not personal problems.
