Not Played Ranked In 3 Weeks...Now I Remember Why
Was 1 day short of not playing ranked for 21 straight days. First game was a 3 man premade vs my no premade at all. We were getting just roflstomped the entire game, and the only reason we won was because the premade was being SUPER toxic to their team and one of their team members started intentionally feeding then went afk. we couldn't out rotate them, they had double tp and were just roaming like crazy.
Second game, I had the premade, and holy crap talk about toxic. The premade of our jungle wanted mid, but I'm sitting at 72% win rate when I get mid (which I personally think is pretty good). So I didn't want to trade and tried to be as nice about saying no as I could. Even offering to roam a bit more to help. Instead, the jungler starts off by banning the mid I wanted to play. Then he proceeded to troll me mid by flashing in (I don't know why) and then would spam dance till he was dead, so my lane started the game off 3/0 within maybe 5 minutes. He then proceeds to do the same to the bot lane because one of them defended me (he was flaming me in all chat for some reason as well) and so he just roamed around the map trolling until everyone that wasn't in the premade was just giving up.
tl;dr It doesn't matter if I'm against or with a premade, they are toxic if you aren't in their premade for no good reason, regardless of what team they are on. It benefits only the premade, and is a negative experience for everyone on both teams that aren't in the premade(s).
This is exactly why I stopped playing ranked, and now I feel dumb for trying again.
