Please don't think I'm bad based on Ranked.

I know that there are people who are terrible at League and get really low Elos, but I'm here to say that I'm pretty average (to sometimes above average). I'm not great, and don't plan to be. I wanted to try Ranked and see what it had. Was pretty distraught the first go, tried again last season and got so many trolls while battling out of Bronze, so I quit Ranked and want to play for fun. But, going into a team made game, I had someone look up last seasons score and refuse to play until I get kicked. I didn't know what to say to make him understand that I played for about 2 weeks and then gave up and let the points drop without a real care in the world. (I think I left it with about 70 LP before it dropped to 34 LP at the end. I don't (completely) suck. I like to try out new characters, I usually get outplayed, and sometimes I have personal... family issues that I have to do (trust me, if I was able, I'd not do those "errands" for my family).

I kind of wish Riot would also put out the number of matches played in Ranked to at least show those who check the amount of time they even put into playing Ranked vs Normals.

Been playing for almost three years now, I think I understand enough to have a strategy on how I want to play. :)

Also, I want to add that OP doesn't mean that there aren't people that are bad at this game, but there are those times where you should understand that a majority of those in Bronze 5 probably don't try to get out because of the trolls that stop them from leaving. (I honestly had a Gold player do that in one of the few Ranked games.)
