Well I'm officially done. It was a good run.

Yeah it was a good game until end 2013 and season 4. It was actually a terrific game in fact. I clocked many days last year alone of consistent play. taught myself basically everything i know up until I started watching streams. I actually enjoyed spectating too. This game actually got me into spectating people's games, which I'm thankful for. Yet the one thing riot can't figure out, with the millions of dollars it has accumulated, is to fix low elo. not even kidding. Low elo is so broken new players can't get past bronze, and almost never get past silver without help from a higher elo player. Literally I'd say someone rage quits about 2/3 games now. I honest have lost 2 series in a row because of trolls, afks, etc. It Unavoidable I know and I must just suck, am I correct? well no that isn't the case. I actually have played ranked matches in higher gold tier with a friend and I did not see a troll for at least 20 games. To be honest that was the only time I played this game where no one raged in a match and cussed you out ( even though they are doing much more terrible than you are). TBH I'm about to play 100 normals in a row and post a picture of every troll I encounter in that post. after about 75 trolls I should reach the hundredth game. Then maybe riot will reevaluate their statistics on player behavior and consider reworking the tribunal rather than someone like skarner and xerath ( which you ruined btw xeraths W made him xerath and thats why people played him because they didn't need to buy penetration). So this is goodbye for the second time. I really enjoy every aspect of this game, but I don't play games to be mad or upset all the time. I really don't. How do you learn when someone is constantly screaming at at someone to 'not feed' then they won't explain to the person on how to not feed, and they just give them this exact advice : " DON'T FUCKING FEED YOU NOOB. OMFG UNINSTALL" 85% of the time. How can you have fun when that happens? it doesn't even have to be on your team to irritate you.

So riot says report these people, the tribunal will work them out. Do you know what happens to a player who gets reported? it goes in a que of millions of other players who were reported and 'other players' have to log onto the tribunal an click the punish button. but most cases the players who actually do the tribunal ( I'd say about 5% of the LoL community) just go there and click random buttons after the 20 second wait just to get their Tribunal score up. If you are giving someone a score to level, you should not being doing it in the system that gets rid of the exact thing you are trying to be rid of because all a player wants to do is get a higher score, all you have to do is click pardon, or punish every time and boom you are done instant score boost. That system doesn't work, there are kids just on there with a macro clicking pardon a thousand times just to get a high score. this should not be happening.

So see you all and hopefully you are in a division other than silver and bronze because you atleast get to enjoy this great game, I have to sit here nad get progressivly pissed off until I finally (almost in tears) because I get so mad. then the jackass says "don't get mad it's just a game" well when you play competitively it isn't just a game, it becomes competition in hopes of being super good. you can't be good unless you are already in gold or have played since season 1 because all that happens in bronze is an endless cycle of noobs fighting other noobs ( myself) who just rage at eachother and get no where because they don't get to play with higher ranked players who could teach others how to play better. no bronze is set up like daycare and needs better timeouts other than a slap on the wrist that basically says " don't do that again" but they do. they do it again and again until riot finally is like. oh this is a troll had no clue, thought he was just an ice cream man.

So I resign. I will not play this game anymore. Its the most irritating thing in my life at the moment and I don't even get mad at real world problems as much as this game makes me. I have punched holes, broken keyboards, threatened to end my PC's life and have been genually upset all day because of of the endless cycle of trolls, rage quitters ( specifcally them they are more common riot doens't do anything to these players because they genuinlly play this game they just are children who have to kick and scream to make their day, afkers etc i could go on.

See ya goodluck I hope you all make it to Plat. but less than 1% of you will. so sorry.

Actually your Tribunal score (and the previous IP rewards) increases only happen if you agreed with the majority of other tribunal judgments, as well as having a timer to prevent spamming through cases. Granted it's been awhile since I've been there myself so that may have changed but I wouldn't see why (Xept for the IP of course).

Yes bronze sucks, and yes you will have a harder time finding a good streak of matches where everyone actually stays in the bloody game than actually winning via skill, but your "survey" will not change Riot's statistics unfortunately. Because there are 10 people in every game, and if you find one person every game that is toxic, that is 10% of the community. Not an excuse and it definitely can be better but when you have a competive, constant PvP element game like this it will so much harder to find 9 positive, helpful people than it is to find 1 rager/troll/afk.

I would love to see this community truly take a united stand against behavior like this (xept dc's those are just life) as I have seen many individuals do, but until we develop actual group habits and associated behavior with being a good sport and specifically not an ass then we will default to accepted internet behavior. I.E. Trolling, raging, threatening another's family, cursing, wondering where all the girls are, and crying about the latest government conspiracy.

There are plenty of people that believe that the Xerath rework is fantastic and enjoy the Skarner rework. You can't just carte blanche declare that Riot ruined something, that's just your opinion. Regardless, it sounds to me from this post that you should look into some ways of reducing stress and relaxing because, and I sincerely don't mean to be rude here, you seem to have some anger issues. You really need to put less emphasis on a game and focus more on some life related things. School maybe, a job, friends and family. It's one thing to want to be good at a game and be competitive, but the behavior you describe in this post sounds like the exact opposite and honestly just seems a bit childish to me. Again, I'm sorry if this offends you, but I'd suggest taking a break from the game and reassessing your priorities.
