Please relax about ranked restrictions

I see so many people who frequent soloqueue getting upset about the ranked restrictions causing more toxicity in normals. Hopefully this will ease your mind. Probably won't but it's worth a try.

I have been banned/permabanned quite a few times. It's shameful but it happens. The first time was on an account I had since pre season 1 and it was banned at the start of season 3. I was never toxic, until I started playing ranked. When I am toxic, it is in response to other toxic behavior. NO It doesn't make it more appropriate, it's wrong to be toxic no matter what. This restriction helps me as well, because the type of people I react to, will likely be restricted as well.

Anyway, when I am in ranked, I am playing to win. On a permabanned account (ugh) I was plat 3 before seasons end. I played really well and rocked season 3! When season 4 started, I was really irritated with the new changes, and would take out frustrations in ranked games when people would do something to cause a loss, or talk smack to me. I overreacted. When that account was permabanned, I created this one. I was meh, for most of the season. Banned once or twice. Didn't care because screw it, all my champions, icons and over 700 dollars worth of skins are gone, so why care? Well that changed late season.

Now they have created this ranked restriction. I of course, got one. I am on it now. I have noticed (as a few rioters have mentioned) my attitude DRAMATICALLY changes from ranked to normal, and from normal to ARAM. In normals theres nothing to really lose (elo) so i'm not stressed about it when someone starts doing things to intentionally ruin the game, or refuses to take advice and continuatiously throws. (this is not me saying I don't make mistakes, but I take a lot of care to adjust myself). This ranked restriction forces me to play the more relaxing queue. I play better and am a lot calmer in normals. I am never toxic in normals. THis is a fact. I do not rage, I do not get aggrivated, nothing. I think there are different kinds of ragers tbh. Competitive ones (like me), general ones (people who just freak out all the time because they always care about winning), and then SUPER DUPER AWFUL EVIL ONES (who intentionally feed and stuff like that in response to having things said to them about their game play). I really think most people who will get restrictions are the first type, I really doubt they will be polluting your games. I am at a much lower elo than I was last season because of how frustrated I get in ranked this season. This is a good addition to the league of legends game.

I'm toxic, this is helping me, I don't talk in normals at all. You really don't have much to worry about. Hopefully ill stay chill this time.

Good luck.

p.s. I already know theres going to be a flood of people saying "all ttoxic kids are the same you all deserve blah blah. rito doesn't want you here " you're part of the problem. You should also look at yourselves as well.

This chat restriction and ban from rank doesn't solve anything but anger your players. This is honestly the dumbest thing I have ever seen on this game.

First of all, this chat restriction is so stupid. The ONLY thing this chat restriction does is cause more anger and built up frustration because you can't communicate and you can't explain yourself when your team ask why you did something if you don't have any stupid talk points. I havent been able to enjoy this game at all because of this chat restriction that keeps adding onto my account. I finished a 200 chat restriction, RIGHT after a 350 game chat restriction pops up. This has to be a joke. This system is a joke and banning people from playing ranked is a joke. This is a competitive game, I am a competitive player, if someone cant follow simple task I tend to get mad, if they don't want to hear me yell they can MUTE ME, is that not why you have the MUTE function!?!? Instead of everyone relying on the report system to get some one in trouble they should mute them and be done with it. How about instead of chat restriction, players who are toxic have a red mark over their name or something and it advises players to mute that toxic player because he is known for being toxic.

Second, the "win 35 normal games to go back to ranked" thing is DUMB. NO ONE takes NORMALS seriously, im the ONLY one on my team trying as hard as if its ranked and everyone else is just not giving any shits at all. Most of the people in there go practice new champs and just don't care about a lost. ALL that does is get me mad and tell them to stop feeding, then they say "ITS NORMAL HUE IT DON'T MATTER", then I start to be toxic and guess what? I'M reported and I get 3000 more chat restriction games to my account. This is ridiculous, I can't communicate, I get three messages, and I cant say anything to anyone in all chat about the game. This game is built on team work but I cant even communicate. Pings dont do anything, can pings tell my team to ward baron? Can pings tell my team WarWicks ult is down? Theirs plenty more pings can NOT do.

Theirs always going to be competitive players that are "Underground" players as Microsoft names them. Set up some time of category or something, because this chat restriction and game bans don't fix a thing at all. And i'm not going over this and fixing any punctuation because i'm on tilt right now. I have to win 31 games to get back into ranked and im the only one in normal taking the game seriously, AND I still have a 250 game chat restriction.

Well, I'm glad at least one person in the affected pool is taking this the positive way.

Hope you will keep your chill when you go back to Ranking!
