There needs to be a report called "Doesn't take Ranked serious".

How serious should someone take rank?

Do I have to play top tiered champions only or can I play something that's been working in normals? Do I have to follow the standard build path or can I put my own twist on it? Can I surrender or is that not taking it seriously enough?

The list goes on and on.

TLDR: Bad idea is bad.

Yeah.... This is dum. Normally people who take ranked too seriously are the first to throw a hissy for every little thing. After all this is ultimately a game. If you want to go pro, go join a team or something. Don't solo q and be surprised when there's a few people who really aren't going ham and are just playing LoL and happen to be playing in ranked instead of normals.

Had 4 Goldie's on my team (Just got Silver 2 and climbing) and they all raged at me for going amu support, yet they all fed. Spit on me and called me a "silver forever" I was 4-4 at the end they were like 4-8 and i got reported for offensive language lol... i didn't speak all game except my polite defense to their rude remarks. Not to mention they voted to surrender like 4 times. Surrender in ranked? Puh-leeze.

and what happens when salty people like you use it whenever someone has what you believe to be a sub par kd ratio?

how do you go about checking the validity of this? do you go on a case by case game by game basis where you watch replays of the games and determine this? or does some computer algorithm do some sort of crazy calculation and come up with an answer?

Had this Leblanc today, and like she seems to just pause at weird times, but wasn't lag.

Turns out it was some streamer with throusands of viewers. Probably busy typing stuff and/or chatting with fans, instead of playing...

Reporting somebody for not taking a videogame seriously, lolwut. This is the reason why we have so much toxicity, people take this game too seriously, it ruins the fun and creates tension. I don't take ranked seriously, nor do I hardly even play it in the first place, should I get banned because I'm enjoying myself?

there should be a report option for "takes video games too seriously" it doesnt ban them, it just shuts their computers off and makes them go outside.

honestly i'd rather have a ranked team of people not taking the game seriously than a team of people taking it seriously. Taking a game too seriously removes a lot of fun. Have you seen urf? I banned urgot, taric, and talon so people raged at me. Idk what happened to urf but people like you, people who want to take this game seriously, are the reason that the game is starting to get worse. You're probably one of those people who only play OP champions like zed in urf instead of trying something different.

I don't take ranked seriously. Honestly. It's just a bunch of children.

(And before "that guy" shows up, this is my only account.)

AlterEvil4/3/2015, 7:27:06 AM1 votes

The @#$* you talkin bout bro? It's not serious until you get out of gold lol it's just laid back. And when I took it serious and played what I like I got flamed because someone didn't like the idea. I'll play ranked however the hell I want and if you don't like it you can smd. There's no law that says I have to do anything more than try to win that doesn't mean I have to take it seriously.

Agreed. Whenever I see anyone say "It's just a game" (especially in ranked) I just think of this:

Honestly I think people should be encouraged to ease up on how serious they take ranked. I am not saying be a dummy and throw the game, wander alone etc.

But I refuse to play ranked now because everyone is so pent up with stress that the smallest thing will set them off. If you die and are the first blood, you almost always have that 1 guy assume its GG. The quiet ones start losing hope, everyone's barely on tilt and it just sucks.

You get viewed as a feeder, unskilled, toxic etc from losing lane, trying to help someone, or not picking a champion that is considered good in the meta as opposed to a champion I would be skilled at.

So. Fuck this idea.

Maybe not completely restrict them from normals. But increase Que times for ranked games. Similarly to how they punish AFKers

Would be cool but too easily abused.

Oh they had a bad game? I'll just report them for not taking ranked seriously so that the reportbots can restrict them.

Oh they played an off-meta pick? I'll just report them for not taking ranked seriously so that the reportbots can restrict them.

Only if you have it's counterpart in normals.

"Takes normals too serious"

Which is never

Which is why you can't have nice things
