This is why I have stopped trying to play ranked. Every single game has someone either raging or afking. Every. Single. Game. You know those people who say that if you get out of Bronze you "escape elo hell"? Yeah they are full of shit. Silver is not even slightly better.

I am currently in plat 2, and its better for the most part but there is always one know it all diamond 5 dude that rages when anyone does something wrong

Laughing FishMar 23, 20165 votes

Yeah, I find myself filled with dread if my team gives first blood. Not because we fell behind, but I know someone on my team already gave up, and will no longer try to win. Maybe it is just because I don't care about losing in normal games, but ranked is very stressful. I know it is ridiculous to allow a game to make me this angry, but people in ranked are maddening.

charcharmunroMar 23, 20167 votes

Here's how I often handle giving up First Blood... Be the one who gives it up. Granted, this doesn't work so well on some characters, but if you play somebody who's never really shut down, like, say... Singed , it's not as huge an issue as it is on other champs. I'm not saying "intentionally feed", but... Don't be afraid of dying if you're somebody who doesn't need kills.

Laughing FishMar 23, 201612 votes

This will just make someone else on your team quit because "you are feeding". 90% of ranked is trying to keep your teammate's fragile emotions stable.

Cookimonster316Mar 23, 20162 votes

Sounds like you are the one that gave up

Laughing FishMar 23, 20161 votes

Indeed, this is why I stopped playing ranked. It had gotten to the point that I was so used to people giving up, that I would play worse out of fear that others would give up, which meant that even if they didn't give up, I tended to because I assumed they would. It was a nasty and quite unfun cycle.

BlitzidiousMar 24, 20161 votes

It feels like these people are bleeding into normal games as well. My recent games have had an afk, rage disconnects, whining, and, my absolute fucking favorite, flame for choosing something off-meta. I've had to report six people in my past three games alone.

Currently, League isn't even loading into the patcher, and the thought that keeps bubbling up in my head is, "I should just leave it like this." Honestly, I think I will. This game causes a significant amount of stress, and I just can't handle it anymore. I already got shit in my life that's stressful, at least I have the power to remove this one.

shouldnt surprise you most of the ragers are people who realllllly want to win and thus would normally be in ranked and when you look at what happens based on changes its kinda not hard to connect the dots. people seems to forget there is always a result for each action taken

this is a moba plague ive tried dota not really into the 1h games in lol and like hots best atm.

ive seen it in all three already despite how few games ive played and how little ive seen in lol and dota 2. neither one is worth wasting time on and hots has a joke ranked mode so mobas are giant bummer

I was there at the end of the preseason, made it to gold 3 and had mostly plats in my games. It was so nice! Then new season started and mmr soft reset came and fucked it all up. Back to hell I went. :(

my friend told me the same thing even though he only hit bronze one he said there is no way in hell it gets better and the boards people have said it too,,,, hes now happily perma banned and uninstalled very much on purpose im not much different in the sense that i dont have 1h to waste on a single round and im a solo rank player for the larger part its my pref sense i play to win most games and hate losing.

p.s. i know im not rank qualified yet and its not the issue. with the people ive seen in bots im in no hurry to be bothered with pvp.

p.s.s he played when east coast had 140 ping

Could be worse:

tries to play a ranked game Client crashes as it's trying to load the game.

wtf? Okay, I'll try again.

client crashes again

Okay, I'll just restart the client.

"We have detected some corrupted files. We will now spend 45 minutes fixing them and ensuring you'll lose LP and more than likely get LeaverBustered again due to how badly the current client is coded."

ffs...

Screw it, I'm going to play Heroes of the Storm...

EvilRabbittMar 23, 20161 votes

I play Zagara :3

Devack The HolyMar 26, 20161 votes

I don't really have a main right now (BUt I played the crap out of Jaina for a time), but right now, I LOVE playing as Uther.

EvilRabbittMar 26, 20161 votes

I just like the feel of a few of the heroes--> Zagara dominates lane, Nova is basically a usable Evelynn build, and Li-Ming is a balanced Katarina. Sylvanas was my main but she's bad. People underestimate the unit spam Zagara build and die in 1v2s XD. Watching them focus me and die to 6 broodlings, 2 hydralisks, and 3 roachlings is just beautiful. I 1v1'd a Cho'gall duo and I cried at the damage--> it was beautiful :D

Devack The HolyMar 26, 20161 votes

Eh, Sylvanas works more as a splitpusher in some modes thanks to her passive, but that's about it.

I need to play more Li Ming, and good Novas irritate the hell out of me as Uther. Tyrande's fun sometimes, though.

I did like Illidan, but he just didn't seem right... And Cho'Gall just seems like a gimmick. I played him during his launch, but really didn't like him.

Now, if we can get a Retribution Paladin like Lady Liadrin in HotS, she'd become my main. (Mains a Ret Pali in WoW.)

EvilRabbittMar 26, 20161 votes

True. I just miss when she was so strong because no one knew how strong she was, now they know and she's been shrekt. Meanwhile no one understands Zagara. #lvl1cheese

Devack The HolyMar 26, 20161 votes

I don't think even ZAGARA understands Zagara...

20 min games so even if you get worthless trash you just let it end and then wait and all better its far less stressful then 1h of lol torture i was a rank 8 21 games into hero leauge got 2 trolls over 4 games despite waiting 10 mins after each one.... i dropped to 25 and am currently loving the scrubs callign m bad despite failing so epically they have only reached 25 highest and probably finished promos at 30 or lower

ps li ming you cancer i want my 400 qm mmr i lost to your broken relase ass back

True Story Inbound when I was in Bronze II

Corki : "You useless Support. Why didn't you go in with me?!!"

Leona : "Zac came, they have an Alistar, and you were only at 200 HP."

Corki : "I had package you worthless (female dog)."

Leona : "I can't save you from three people when you're low and you're going in."

Corki : "Don't come bottom anymore, you're going to hold me back."

Leona : "Don't be like that, we can win. Just farm up and we'll-"

Corki : "You're Leona. You're supposed to be a frontline tank and take everything on for me. I want you to go in, stun that Ezreal so I can get some (planting flowers) kills. This is why you're still in Bronze, and you'll never get out. You're the worst Leona I had ever seen, you're supposed to die for me because you're not good for anything else. I'm going to mute you now, and I want you out of bot lane. You (planting flowers) suck."

Leona : "... Have it your way." Goes help out the other lanes instead.

We ended up losing, despite we came close to winning while Corki fed & raged from there no matter how things turned out. But I kept playing as a smart Leona instead of a narrow tunneled one that dived whatever without thinking. By the way if that Corki is still out there-

I'm in Gold 3 now ..

thats why thresh should go coin.

my friend played alot of thresh i really want to try him if i ever play enough to be bothered with it. he would tell me even if you know how to use it any adc would rage you for using relics passive

140 ping bronze a full year ago was when he quit... he said it was painfully obvious when some one was on 30ish ping cause they had no counter play due to lag.
