What does rank really get you?

Well unless you are like 1 in a million it could get you a job. If you're on in like 100,000 it may get you money from streaming. but other than that rank will get you nothing. It could give you bragging rights with your friends, who oh wait, won't care about the game in a few years.

So how about stop being a dick and realize that losing a ranked game isn't worth being a dick about. Don't bully someone just because they lost lane.

League of legends isn't worth being an asshole

I just try to stay positive in ranked and ignore my teammates if they're being dicks or feeding and just try to make the best of the situation ( Report end game ) but i find that by being positive it brings your winrate up Encourage your teammates and they might play better

But then again im just a bronze scrub and what do i know :)

It gives pride as you can know you're better then X% of players. Do I agree that you should be taxic over it? Nah. Its a nice feeling though.

I have never given 2 shits about what people I will never meet, type into a computer. I will never understand why so many people are so sensitive.

It gives you respect. When you deny people respect, people will seek to earn it. Gaining a respectable rank earns you the respect people would deny you because you dont have one. A sergeant doesn't take orders from a corporal. To make your accomplishments feel more relevant compare them to someone elses lesser accomplishments I.E. A platinum looking down on a silver. You probably arent really a bad player, or a bad person, but that higher rank than you still refuses to give you amount of respect you would want because you have a lesser achievement as a potential statement of worth.

That would be the idea behind it. I can say there have been times where ive know high ranking players to not even want to talk to a player that was unranked/lower than gold or plat much less play with them. That isn't a reason to talk and look down on people outright but people do it, and people react to it by working hard to earn respect, which causes frustration being set back from it.

heres the thing. if you think everyone who says something that critiques you is a negative flamer. you should realize that some people actually want to help you improve and win the game.

if you are so conditioned to think that everything that a person says to you is bad and they want to be mean to you. Maybe you should actually understand how conversation is relayed in real life.

some difficulty in playing is the fact that the Non-verbal cannot be observed so you dont get a true sense of how something is said. this is frustrating and can wear on people who actually want people to play right / to high skill level.

now if you look at the bronze. i know... crazy people that they are... most believe it is the teams fault why they are in bronze and staying in bronze. actually talking to these people i realize that they are easily frustrated and have a lack of game knowledge required to move up in tiers.

a child can get frustrated when they dont know how to say what they want. and that also goes for adults. its actually human nature. this is why i use the mute button. i dont need to be another tilted person on the team.

now stop being a white knight and i doubt you are actually in a position to teach others how to properly human so accept that the language barrier exists and move on.

Ok well this is how I feel about it. I try to not be toxic in most of my games, or I try to not be toxic until the point of the game where there is absolutely no coming back. At this point in the game I like to point out the faults and why we are losing (no I do not point out my own faults as I either know what I did wrong or I have a recording program and I could watch what I did wrong.) But to say, "League of Legends is just a game, stop being a dick." Or other nonsensical phrases like this is not helpful in the least. A typical ranked game(regardless if I'm getting paid for it or not,) is roughly 45 minutes long. So your point is that I should waste 45 minutes of my life because Riot is placing me with people who are below me in ranked. Or due to this new dynamic queue, I am playing with 1 person who is my rank and he is in a party of a bunch of new players and it is up to me and him to carry these new players. I shouldn't be upset by this? I never get upset by the fact that people die in team fights (even if it's over and over again.) I get mad at the fact that people go into the ranked system with absolutely not knowledge of the game or the strategies it takes to win the game and they lose the game single handed.
