The sorrows of a Ranked player............

I swear to god ranked is gonna make me quite playing league.. Yup there are times when ranked makes me wanna grab my head and smash it into my computer. And just curl up in a ball on the floor and cry and cry. Regretting ever being born.. I freaking hate competitive play.

Edit: Who here has literally gone days without sleep. Hoping to advance forwards only to go backwards and yet continue playing in hopes of getting somewhere. Spent literally hours practicing simple warding, last-hitting, and etc hoping that it would at least be a benefit in the long run.

Edit: I don't know if its my love for this game or really my will to succeed and make it to the top. At the end of the day League is more than a hobby to me.

Going into ranked expecting it to be fun is sort of like getting your nuts taken of by a hay baler and expecting it to feel pleasant.

I used to play ranked a long time ago. But I got tired of all the stupid raging. If I wanted to get raged at and insulted by a bunch of kids then I would have become an inner city high school teacher.

Then don't do it. I don't play ranked and I feel great.

I agree! The ladder can be very frustrating to climb, but the harder it is to climb, the better it feels when u reach ur goal. I take rank games very seriously and I do everything I can to have the highest chance of winning. For me, the fun of the game is knowing that I have improved and climbed higher.

We have all been there, well...Maybe not in the literally spending nights without sleep to rank up.

It's never advisable to keep playing when you're angered due to the past losses and even less deprived of sleep, because all that's going to happen is that you're going to tilt, which will put you in a vicious cycle.

Hang in there.

Play with friends, play around in normals (TB to avoid lane-trolls) or smurf.

Edit - You play too much ranked with that mindset.

In the end, your team is as good as your worst player unfortunately.

Hate competitive so much? Don't play ranked.
