Should I quit ranked?

YoungFarmer·Mar 11, 2015·2 votes·874 views

It seems to cause more harm than good for me. It just leaves me feeling bad when I do poorly and making me feel mad when my team mates do poorly. Ranked is the most stressful part of the game, you feel so stressed when you have to win 1 more game in a series too go up, or when you are at 0 lp and 1 more loss will demote you. I find it really frustrating because I go on a huge win streak get 100 lp and then in promos I either get potato team mates or become a potato myself and then lose my series and slowly go back down to 0 lp.

in LoL you will lose 50% of your games. everyone does. that is matchmaking. if you aren't okay with losing half you are playing the wrong game.

I have this kind of friends too, some of them just pure mean, but just remind yourself "what is your first reason to play", To have fun or gain pain?

there's your problem, friend! you have the classic "keeping up with the joneses" syndrom! you need to quit doing that! Some people are more apt in certain things. The key to your happiness is finding the strengths you were given and using them to become good at what you enjoy, while being happy for other peoples success in the areas they have special gifts in! Stop the envy. Nothing good comes from that! As a side note, if your "Friends" make fun at you for not being as good as them in a video game, you should re-evaluate your friendships!

in that case there are some courses of action!

Stop whining on the forums.
Evaluate why you are stuck where you are stuck. (record your games look at all your mistakes, eliminate them one by one.
follow this mantra:

I want to become a better player I will never ever criticize any of my teammates. "gj, well done or nice! " should be the only things I type. for any other communication I'll use pings. Only my mistakes matter. I will stop caring about a win or loss. (series don't matter) I will start caring about how well i am doing and what i can do better

That should do!

I refuse to play ranked again this season. It was by-far the worst experience I've had playing League.

If you don't like ranked, don't play it. I've been in low Bronze since S1 because I tanked my initial placements and have barely played passed the initial 10 in any subsequent season. Normals and ARAMs are just more fun.

AerothalMar 11, 20151 votes

yes. take a break from it. play normals /normal draft. have fun again!

seriously, if it stresses you out why even play. there's no point! ranked should be exciting because its a challenge. It shouldn't give you a heart attack!
