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!"

And I guess this is the first season you've played Ranked? Or how is this news?

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.
