This game is 98% luck

Unless your skill is a full rank above your current rank, it is literally complete luck whether you win or lose. Which team is going to have the afk J4 that "has been doing it all week" and isn't intelligent enough not to play ranked? Which team is going to get the Veigar support that literally has never played Veigar, but "wanted to try him out" mid lane, but since mid was taken he goes bot and trolls? Which team gets the 2-8 Yasuo 4 mins into the game because #LC$BIGPLAY$? Which team is going to get the 4/28 duo bot lane? That is what leads to toxicity. The trolls in ranked and the fact that they aren't punished.

Nop

If you play consistently and never feed. Then statistically your enemy has the higher chance of having the troll.

Like this: If out of 10 people, 1 is a guaranteed troll, and it's not you, you have 4 chances of getting that troll where the enemy has 5 chances of having the troll.

Buuuuuutttttt. . . . People have bad games. People get out played. People make mistakes. If no one made mistakes. You're not perfect. I can promise you, you've had a bad game where your team thought you were a troll.

Suck it up cupcake.

My 4 teammates combine for a score 3/14. Also had an afk with his troll duo friend that legit did not know what relic shield passive did. Further proves my point.

Another game, trolling support that is literally sitting afk in their jungle. Also have 11-17 duo. Thanks rito.

Like right now, I have a troll support. I asked him nicely early to "please not pull braum and try to get adc". He literally says, "ok fine im not doing anything". He then sits at tower afk, only running up to take cs with his ult and QE.

why isn't this punishable?

1/12 bot lane in 15 mins further proves my point.

Yea the only people really skilled in this game are the ones that get out of diamond. I really dont feel like grinding that out to get to diamond and norms is fun enough for me.

Statistical outliers with the luck-factor definitely exist & anybody who claims otherwise is extremely ignorant. I was forced to start out the first 50 or so matches of this season with EVERYBODY in EVERY LANE (and jungler) on my team feeding 15 kills in five minutes in then surrendering at 20 even when I was the ONLY one who did NOT feed (except for a maximum of 1 out of 8 matches according to my statistical-records), EVEN on matches where I had a POSITIVE KDA and COULD have potentially carried (but they would ALL Four-Man Surrrender anyway), until there was something like 30 matchs IN A FUCKING ROW of Four-Man Surrenders (I was the ONLY person who did NOT vote YES) that FORCED me into Bronze (happened TWICE mind you). The climb from there to Silver-I was still infuriating, and even when I did reach Silver-I, holy shit mother of fucking god, does that 20-game-loss-streak still take effect, NOT because of MY feeding (except for statistically maybe 1 out of 8 matches with the exception of where I stupidly attempt to help team salvage shit from all of their feeding), but utter LUCK of everybody somehow managing to get their called roles who ALL picked their mains and yet SOME-HOW manage to be having a bad day & feed & lose the shit out of the lanes & match anyway (and the ridiculous amount of THROWS due to BARON-Calls as well as those idiots who keep trying to fight instead of farming to catch up in items & levels before trying to do the next fight which only ends up resulting in guaranteed feeding & most-recently an ADC who kept over-extending, over-staying, and getting caught out, over and over and over, all day long, etc).

Some of my Duo-Partners talk about how they have Plat-Ranked friends who tried doing Silver-Ranked, but those guys said that the handful of games they played just made them quit, reason being because the amount of stupid that they saw in all Silver-Ranks (and also still apparently still happens even in Low-Gold & perhaps even Mid-Gold). With that said you all probably deserve to have some screen-shots of how stupid it can get in the Silver-Ranks... http://i.imgur.com/mcuKrah.jpg http://i.imgur.com/B4UMvCE.jpg Performing like this is apparently insufficient to get out of Silver (perhaps I could've gotten « lucky » and be carried into Gold last season if I actually bothered to DO the promo-matches from Silver-Gold), but in all fairness, I am putting the claims of people who insist that Elo-Hell doesn't exist to the test, and if you can make me good, tell me what I'm doing wrong or need to improve upon, even watch/spectate my matches & give some feedback, then be my guest because I want to know if anybody seriously has enough knowledge to be able to get me into Gold/Plat+ through their tips/pointers if they have any. I do not believe that Elo-Hell exists in the sense that it is impossible to Escape, but I DO believe in the Elo-Hell that exists where you experience feelings of extremely infuriating frustration, even if you're not dogging on your team-members for their mistakes. When I say 20-game loss-streaks from feeders/AFKs/etc., happening more-often than just during one single day, I am NOT kidding. Follow me & spectate my next few hundred matches & you'll eventually see the reality for yourself that it DOES happen. For the record, the W/L-Ratio I had, starting out during this season, was a 11/48 BEFORE I started getting COMPETENT Team-Members or BALANCED Match-Ups.
