Ranked is so bad...

I am okay with losing, as long as its a GG with intelligent team mates who ward and communicate...however the past few games I've played, I haven't gotten any intelligent teammates, and I know "this is a QQ Thread" it is...but I mean, in Bronze, its literally so bad, that you find more intelligent people in Blind Pick? The problem with this, is that with Blind Pick, you can literally just go in at level 3 or 5(I forget) with nothing but free week champions. Sure, maybe not a lot of people do that, maybe cause you can't, idk, but the point is, inexperienced players, usually play better than those in Bronze.

We need a warding tutorial, A baiting tutorial, map objectives tutorial. And you need a tutorial for EACH lane, not just Ashe on aram(wtf?)

At the least, I feel when you click Ranked, it should ask you a few questions relevant to that of an IQ Test with Multiple choice. Randomized every time, with different words that way nobody can post the exact answers and should influence your placement based on your score. Idk, I really don't know, but i've resorted to going to Team builder and blind pick for my first wins, and then logging out the rest of the day.

tl;dr I could care less about a game mode I once had fun in.

If you deserve a higher rank, you will get the higher rank.

Intelligence is relevant. Leonardo Da Vinci once ruined his (and Michelangelo's) masterpieces because he didn't read the instructions clearly and skimmed past "Warning: Don't use [this paint] on walls." https://38.media.tumblr.com/81ace37fcdd265a9253000ce39bf9166/tumblr_mhm912DCOR1rnlbv4o1_500.gif

In all seriousness though, this isn't really what it's like. People will make bad plays, or just be completely trolly/goofy/potato. Focus on your farming, warding, and learn how to take control of the team in a pinch. Fight the FF-itis. Learn objective control (Towers>One kill). Spam pings to make sure everyone knows what to do. Make sure you time your ranked games to where you won't get matched with kids (Fear the 4PM...) and play a role/champion that can carry (jungle and support come to my mind, but do what you're good at.)

I'm no gold/plat/diamond/bazoowop, but this has helped me (and a friend of mine who carried himself to gold and gave me all these ideas), so I wish the best of luck to you.

I agree with the tutorials part.

But lol that's only the beginning and you're already calling quits.

you're playing a game that literally has the Acronym "LoL" as it's title. The game is a joke. No Pun intended. with the amount of trolls in ranked. Trolls > ranked all day

Whenever people blame thier rank on thier teammates all my brain ever reads/hears is:

"I'm better than everyone else I am playing against, but I don't win."

Because that makes total sense. The level of Cognitive Dissonance in the LoL community is staggering.

Dont be fooled. Gold is just a shinier bronze. I just got into gold and i swear some of the people I see are worse than what I was getting in silver. Not just on my team just in general.
