There is a hell believe me I've seen it.
Hello summoners, Scrub Lord here. So I've had this big issue and it sucks.... We all know what it is. We all deal with it. That is the hell that is BRONZE Ranked matches. So hear me out. I'm Bronze 1 (Not a great player I can still use some work, alot of work) But my issue is. I've been in my placements for silver 6 times each time failing. Whether to Trolls, Afks, or simply out played. But what I've come to realize is no matter how hard i try to be a nice guy, to keep my cool. It doesnt matter. There are so many players out there who simply do not give a shit about the ranked matches, nor who it effects. SO here is a story of my last match.
I get into lobby, third pick! YAY, finally not last pick (after ten games in a row of last). Immediately. We have our 4th pick who says, Hey, Jungle top adc or mid prefered. Basically he doesn't want to support. So our first pick says, I'm going to go ADC, our second pick says, Oh i'll support. Then i say, oh well then Im going to go jungle (Favorite role) Well our forth pick starts flipping shit "I dont want to boring support! I will troll!" I was like dude, calm down. Our second guy is going support, you still have a role you want available. Then he starts going "Oh, well fine! You can goungle, BUT IM GOING TO TOP JUNGLE!
I was like wut?
Anyways match starts, we are losing, AND I MEAN HARD!
Rengar (our top jungle) starts following me around smite stealing my camps. raging at me "YOU DIDNT GANK! IM GOING TO FOLLOW YOU NOW AND TAKE YOUR CAMP!"
I was like "Dude, im the jungle i kinda need those" Then he has the nerve to be like "IM TOP JUNGLE I NEED THEM TOO" (6 minute mark hits)
Yes, 6 minutes and we had a fed enemy adc, jg mid , and top.
Later on sivir starts in ( She was killed after pinging for assistance bot lane, but i was at krugs top lane and couldnt help) Then freaks on me.
"IS THERE A REASON YOU DONT GANK?!" Me: "I was top there was nothing i could do to get there, I'm sorry."
"YOU NEVER COME BOT ONCE I PING MANY TIMES!" Me: "Like i said, I was top. I'm Sorry" Well this proceeded and the enemy top laner
is just bming, and being toxic for no reason stuff such as "Yeah GET FCKIN SHT ON" "You fckin suck" "Suck my d*ck" Then proceeds to say "WW Sucks Reporting him after this match" and keeps making comments about it. Now i understand. "Yo, It's a game. Don't worry about it." But at the same time why is it so hard to be a decent human?
I've found ranked to be so toxic. I want to climb and get out of Bronze, but it makes it so hard to want to go into a game that could last up to 1Hour, just to be belittled and told you're the worst player ever. ect. I've been playing this game for a while now, Since season 2 began I've been playing regularly. and it's so frustrating that people are this way towards one another. I mean i have had my fair share of nice team mates. But most the time. Trolls, Afk's, Feeders, Toxic players is what i receive. I've tried so hard to be the guy who is like "Oh, you're 0/132321/0, But it's okay we got this we have to just work together." But times like these i realize, If you are nice to others in this game. It's like it encourages them to troll harder, or become more toxic. I just wish the community was the way it was when i first started.
When i first started, I was almost never in a match where someone wasn't trying to help me learn what i should be doing, and when i should be doing it. I was always helped with, "Oh build this on them" or "This is how you play this champ" or things of that nature. Now it's just "Oh You suck uninstall" "YOu're the worst player ever" and it saddens me to see it this way.. I miss the old faithfuls.
