Banned from Ranked is Asinine

I'm so tired of this garbage. I've been banned from ranked 3 seperate times (90 fukin wins required) when I have played less than 15 ranked non-placement games. This is absolutely r%%%%%ed. I never get reported for intent feed and, though I do yell at feeders, its never over the top and its never from the start. Usually it goes, "Hey could you 'insert game improving advice here' so that you don't die again?" Then when they fail, "Ok, please step up youre game. you need to play passive. Just try not to feed." Then "Ok, this lane is garbage. no more help from them. I'm going to go to a lane that can use me." And if we lose "Thanks asshat. Your 1-7 feed cost us the game. go back to bots. "

Do I yell at them? Yes. Do they deserve it? Yes. The major problem here is that this in no way should prevent me from playing ranked! In fact, most of the feeders get mad at me for "taking the game seriously" and tell me to go play ranked...which I can't! Its asinine. It accomplishes nothing. It doesn't remove me from the community. If anything, it makes it worse because I'm constantly stuck with people who don't take the game seriously and therefore troll or feed, causing myself and others to be upset.

It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't require 30 WINS to move on. With around a 50% win ratio that means 60 games. I'd be willing to bet that 7+/10 people get reported multiple times times in 60 games. I'm talking from experience. I have never been in a game where we had a feeder/troll and I was the only one to scold them. In ending, I'd like to say that my behavior is against the rules and I know that, however its not excessive and its not in any way warranting of the penalty received. I've been playing for 2 years now and I really don't want this to be the reason that I leave and go to Heroes of the Storm, Smite, or DotA.

Usually it goes, "Hey could you 'insert game improving advice here' so that you don't die again?"

Okay, that's fine.

Then when they fail, "Ok, please step up youre game. you need to play passive. Just try not to feed."

Eh.

Then "Ok, this lane is garbage. no more help from them. I'm going to go to a lane that can use me."

Not really so good.

And if we lose "Thanks asshat. Your 1-7 feed cost us the game. go back to bots. "

...and this is why you can't have nice things. That's the sort of comment that was an instant punish in Tribunal.

Do they deserve it? Yes.

No, they don't. Everyone has bad games sometimes, and one team has to lose every game. Struggling players don't "deserve" to get berated and insulted by their teammates. Unless they're running down midlane and suiciding into the enemy turret, they're not trying to die and lose.

There's a reason that item #1 in the Summoner's Code is "Support Your Team".

More importantly, what does being an ass get you? Last I checked being an ass in game doesn't give you any LP, and usually ends up costing you LP. Or in your case, lose IP and get banned.

There is absolutely no reason why you can't behave like decent human being in this game. None. Ranked, normals, it doesn't matter. It's a freakin' game. If you can't let a game roll off your back your going to have a hell of a time with life.

If you want to rage like an overpriviliged pubescent kid who's had too much mountain dew, great. Just don't type it. It's not that hard. Really, it isn't. If you can't even manage that amount of impulse control you might want to stop by a shrink and pick up a prescription for Zanax.
