Just pondering....

I have been playing this game for 5 years now. As I wrap up what must be my 6th two week ban, probably to be followed by pointless normal games and endless chat bans, I have to wonder why it is that I get so mad at this game. I have been a gamer my whole life. No other game has me this addicted, or mad, all the time. I play ranked most of the time, because I want to think I am decent and that I can be competitive against good players. But I don't think I will ever make it far enough to actually reach a level with regularly competitive good games. The actual amount of games that I play where its a close, even fight are astoundingly low. Once in a while I get a free win, usually I get a free loss. It's like these kids I play with are down syndrome downies who just smash the keyboard with their face in a vague attempt to maneuver or fight. I might sound harsh. But as league doesn't have a built in voice-chat system (a total joke, at this point), there is hardly ever anyone playing that actually communicates jack-shit. On top of that, the only people I seem to run into who aren't terrible MECHANICALLY are still fucking awful team mates. They run around doing their own thing, leaving me and anyone else to rot and die in team fights so they can protect their precious K/D. On the rare occasion that I do get decent team mates that communicate, I usually win no problem. But part of me really wishes there was more of a standard when it comes to team mechanics and the goals to winning. I don't know how many times I run into people that just let the other team get free drags and barons nonstop and try to tell me there is nothing that can be done about it when that is blatant BULLSHIT. I have played games with bad kids before. But being bad at the game isn't the real issue. It's like league attracts a whole new breed of stupid and ignorant. Maybe it's just this generation that has grown up on trolling ethics, where ruining the game to piss everyone off is more amusing than playing it to win. But I don't see the value in trolling. Especially in a ranked playlist. That's the other thing I don't understand, is why I hear so many people going "i dont care" about winning, doing good, or even just not sucking totally. If you really dont care why go out of your way to participate in a more competitive playlist where people DO care about winning? I hear the "it's just a game" bullshit like that matters, and I can't help but get mad at it. Yes, it's "just a game" but why is losing horrendously the new standard? Why is afk raging the new standard? You're gonna run your PC hot for 45 minutes just to sit there thumbing your asshole for the whole game to "punish" everyone else including yourself, or you're just gonna rage quit cuz you got unlucky or you suck and you died A COUPLE OF TIMES. It's a joke. I might get mad, I might rage at people, but I play to win. I try to communicate. I try to be the bigger person. I don't get my teammates killed to spite them even if they are a bunch of r%%%%%s.

  I play this game because when it's working and I have that awesome team it's so great. Such a fun time. But it just keeps coming back around to a trash community feeding on itself. It makes no fucking sense. Maybe I am just too logical for this game. But am I missing something? It is a TEAM GAME. TEAM. If you wanna fucking troll around why do you have to sit on league all day and just bounce game to game to game and ruin it intentionally? I wouldn't even mind if they made getting into ranked more difficult. I would sign up for the challenge instantly. Instead of permanent access to ranked at 30, make it a decaying system based on actual individual performance, so you can't just limp your way into ranked by playing a million games and sucking it up. I know there are those who will disagree with my politically incorrect views on this, but league truly needs an overhaul. If I can get reported and banned for weeks for speaking the truth and being honest, why can't the people who sit there and fuck up my enjoyable game get banned as well? And I know it doesn't happen. Sorry for the rant guys, I just needed to get it off my chest.
