Ranked is a Joke, Filled with Egotists and Tantrum Babies!

Its rediculous. I am close to giving up on it entirely. The way ranked is set up is doomed to fail. I started in bronze because I went 5/5 in prelims. 4 of those 5 losses were because someone on my team didnt get the champ they want, didnt get the lane they want, or refused to respect pick order (they get last pick and pull a "mid or feed") and so they throw a complete and total tantrum. Crying, screaming and intentionally sabotaging thier team because they didnt get thier own way. So I end up in bronze 5 where I can gain 20 LP, But be dropped right back down to 0 after the next 2-3 matches contain the previously mentioned spoiled brats. And for a team game, the level of "Im better than u" is sickening. All game all I keep hearing is someone on my team talking about how they are soo much better than everyone else on thier team. Had a player on my team bragging about how he is gold2 on another account, which he felt gave him the exclusive right to talk down, degrade, insult, and bash his own team because he felt he was better than them. And just a few games, had a nautilus who actively refused to help bot lane because...I dunno (anytime we asked for a gank bot lane, he would reply with "nope" or "Stfu" as a response) then immediately reported everyone on his team for Harrassment: verbal abuse

For a team game, Riot has set it up so that each person is an individual. People dont care about the team, just how good they look as an individual. League has been compared in strategy to chess, Well if its a chess game, all the pieces are too busy bragging or fighting over who is better based on how many pieces each individual piece captured. And in the end, the checkmate is lost. and I know this may seem like a vent, or maybe its just my asperger's talking, but this is how I see it, this is why I get so worked up. I try and control my temper But I cannot seem to wrap my head around it. I am sure my asperger's will likely end up getting me perma-banned because I react first before I even know what I did. But this is just how I see the world. For a team game, there is too much focus on each player as an idividual. Yes its a team game, but one player ruins it for everyone else. And thats just how some people get thier kicks. They dont think of it as being toxic, they dont think of it as trolling. They -intentionally- come on to rage and tantrum, they bait people and do whatever they can to get them worked up, so that they can report them and get them banned. Because as far as Riot's game plan is. When you come onto league, you are not allowed to have any sort of emotional response. If you respond emotionally to someone goating you into an emotional response so that they can have a laugh by reporting you and getting you banned, then they will continue to do it. Riot says to just mute and report. Which...if done, may help, but at the same time it trains the mind that teammates are not to be trusted, not to be communicated to.

Ranked has become a laughing stock. More than likely Riot will just brush off my comments. I have been reading tarot cards for years, so I have a good sense of intuition. But for a team game to allow one person to destroy the game for 4 others just for the sake of a laugh, requiring you to shut off any sort of emotional connection or response..well its no wonder ranked is failing. I will make another thread with my own observations. Right or wrong, you can flame me all you want, tell me how my opinions have No value because I am not part of the elite "challenger" class (and it will happen. the "your opinion is moot because Bronze/silver" response) Yes I am disabled (asperger's syndrome, add/adhd, Bi-polar, etc) but I see alot of things more clear than most people.

TL:DR League is like a chess game, I choose to focus on the checkmate, Not how many pieces -i- have captured (those who think "Individual K/D/A > Team win". Those who would allow their team to lose, as long as -they- have the most kills on the team)

EDIT: Also sinse it has come up. I am NOT really using My disorder as an excuse, just A) showing where my thought proccess comes from. and B) getting infront of the whole "what are you? an aspie?" or "Shut up downs kid" comments. you know people who will use Aspergers/Down syndrome/mental handicaps/etc as an insult. You wanna call me an aspie and make yourself look like a d-bag? go right ahead. I am just saying "yeah, I actually AM one. I am letting everyone know before you can use it as an insult to prop yourself up and try and score internet points!"

Apparently riot sill thinks if you plug your ears with your fingers and go "lalalalalalala I cant hear you" then it will magically change everything. Just leave your emotions outside the game like a good little robot. I have lost count how many times I feel so good after a win, just to have someone in the next game intentionally feed because he didnt get the champ he wanted (it happened, a player on my team made sure to intentionally feed all lanes because the -other- team managed to get the Annie he wanted. "Kay they took the annie I wanted, so I feed every lane gg"

and we are not allowed to respond to this? or risk getting banned when his feelings get hurt because we got angry at him for intentionally feeding?"

Long story, No, not the first season I have played ranked, but if its this far in one would think maybe riot would actually take a closer look at it instead of just "mute and it cant affect you" Guess what riot, even muted, if the score is 4-23 in the first 5-10 minutes because the tantrum baby is feeding, yeah its affecting me.

Relax, also does use any disorders as an excuse/reason. Don't bother listening to toxic things that other players say, just focus on how you're playing and your mistakes. The logic is that you will climb ranks if you really are a better player than your current rank because if you're better than the other players then your team has a higher chance of winning, and statistically you would win more games than you lose. The problem is a players own denial and/or attitude prevents them from being the MVP of a team. Relax, focus on your own mistakes, ignore negativity, and stay positive, you will win more games.

No, that does not work. Maybe in some cases but the logic is flawed. That you will move up if you play better. But again, for a team game one person ruins it for everyone else. One player doesnt get the champ they want, or the role they want, or the team isnt playing to -their- standards. player brags about being gold2, goes into bronze account, bashes team for not playing worthy of gold These people dont get thier way for whatever reason so they will 'punish' thier team by Feeding the enemy to the point of them being lvl13 while you are barely out of Lvl 7. At that point they can slap you down and kill you in one quick shot, making your death count rise faster than an appollo rocket. So please tell me how you can "do better than the rest of the team" when the enemy is fed to the point where they can toy with you, or swat you down in an instant. and if that is not bad enough, assuming you make it to 20, these same people will continue to punish you by intentionally voting no on surrender. Forcing what was a 15 minute game into a torturous 55 minute grind.

So to recap, hard to focus on your own mistakes when people have tantrums and set the game against you. By intentionally: -feeding the enemy team -creating a massive level gap (enemy 4-6 lvls ahead) -massive gap in kills/gold/experience/items -Intentionally voting "no" on surrender -verbally berrating/degrating, talking down to you (assuming you havent muted them while they call for the other team to report you)

so no, its hard to do well as an individual when you have 5 enemies on the other team, and 1 or more saboteurs on your own

they dont care about the match, they dont care about the win, they want the most kills so they can turn to thier teammates and go "see? I have more kills, so look how much better than you I am" (they dont shut up about how "Im op, I carry. I am god, I have the most kills on my team hur hur hur)

Had a nautilus on our team who had a raging tantrum because...I dunno..we forgot to give him a leash? or Mid AND BOTH BOT didnt give him a leash. So the jungler nautilus refused to gank bot (told us "nope" or "STFU" anytime we asked for some help bot, asked for a gank). Fed all lanes, verbally abused the team, then as a final insult, reported everyone on his team for "Harrassment: Verbal abuse" after the match

But if you react to these toxic labels "Hey I am not a feeder!" or otherwise respond emotionally to something that is -intended- to trigger an emotional response (which is often the intent, to goat you into a response so that THEY can file the report and YOU get banned. even if someone ELSE on your team is intentionally feeding. Riot expect you to look for that emotional switch, and shut it off...like a good little robot If someone flames you, there is a natural response to disprove it. otherwise Silence = guilt apparently. But someone falsely accuses you of something and you say "hey I didnt do X" then YOU are the one that gets banned/restricted. Not the one who threw the false accusations. because you were triggered into an emotional response. (honestly If someone calls you a cheat, a liar, a feeder, and every horrible label under the book, are you really gonna just remain silent and let them slap you with that label? "Well I called you a feeder and you didnt deny it, so you must be one"

Yep, had a game where the guy who didnt get his annie intentionally fed the other team, to the point where they could 1-shot us anytime they wanted, in the meantime the troll continued to vote no on surrender often bullying another into voting no as well) just to prolong the 'punishment' so he could feed more. All because the other team took annie before it reached his turn in pick order.
