I can't play ranked anymore.
I can't. A couple weeks ago I was sitting mid Gold 4 and thought I should try climb. Had 6 games in a row where the entire team fed, got demoted to G5. Then it seemed like the matchmaking stopped hating me as I got a couple wins. But then today I decide to play a bit and:
1st game: Destroyed the early game as a jungler, but they had LeBlanc mid, who got out of lane 1-4, and proceeded to destroy everything anyway. So I thought "Thanks Riot Live gameplay balance." And moved right on.
2nd game: I get forced into support, the only role I'm bad at. I still manage to hold my own in lane. Meanwhile though, the enemy top laner gets fed 8-0 and our top laner of course blames everyone else for losing his lane. He then proceeds to diving in the middle of the entire enemy team repeatedly until the game ends. All of this while everyone is being toxic and wishing cancer upon each other, and asking the enemies to report me for "no communication" as I ignore their inflammatory comments directed at me.
3rd game: Our ADC has less than 100 normal wins, fresh out of placement and does not even know how to auto-attack move properly. Our jungler keeps 1v1ing the enemy jungle who's ahead by 3 levels, and complaining about how OP he is.
So now I'm sitting at G5 0LP. Apparently, I am not allowed to climb. And this annoys me because I have no problems playing any role (except supp) against high Plat players. I've even played as 5v5 with diamond teams, although it is a lot harder to get kills, I managed to do my part just fine. But no, apparently I can't climb. Not only that, I'm forced to stop playing or I risk being matchmade with some other fresh lv30 guy, get demoted, and even lose the gold end of season ranked rewards.
This ranked system is ridicuolus. Unless you are one of the very best in the world it is pure luck. I will step away from the game until at least next year. There is no point in me trying to improve/climb anyways. How can Riot not realize this is what ruines their game, I still wonder.
