League "Ranked Mentality" is JUST UTTERLY STUPID
I'm sick and tired of this ranked mentality, its completely ignorant and just blatantly stupid. This is not a typical "its not my fault i cant get a good rank post" it's a I'm tired of how people act because of their rank that they feel they "earned". I don't bother with ranked, here's why:
- I don't play ranked because I'm always the unlucky one to get a troll, an afk, or just a braindead team that plays like they have a boot up their ass, so if I'm going to lose a match, Id'e rather lose a casual normal that doesn't take 50 minutes to lose and then lowering my rank or LP because of things not in my control. Yes I am just that unlucky, some people are so unlucky they just can't play ranked seriously and I'm one of those folks, so I don't bother putting myself through that, It's not because i suck, or am bad or whatever you stupid ass trolls have to say, it's purely because i'm too unlucky to get enough good matches with good teams to get a high rank, and i'm not patient enough to just try over and over and spend hours upon hours trying to get a silly rank that doesn't prove how good you are until SUPER high ranks by climbing this tier ladder.
- The ranked system has HUGE FLAWS put simply Could i get a better rank if i wanted to? OF COURSE I COULD, it would just take time, that isn't the point here, that's just my position with rank, and obviously i just don't care about it honestly, BUT ANYWHOOO
This game is the most frustrating game i have ever played, not because of the game itself giving me constant disadvantages like horrible team comps afkers, trolls, or just plain out uncoordinated horrible teams that play like they have a boot up their ass causing a loss, NO that doesn't frustrate me one bit, in fact all that does is make me a better player for picking up the slack from people who can't carry their own weight, of course even if i still do extremely well, there is only so much I myself can do in a team based game. I don't care about losing. I am however, sick and tired of this incredibly stupid ranked mentality. Rank means nothing unless you are REALLY HIGH RANKED, so if you are gold, you aren't shit, sorry, anyone can get carried into gold by lucky team comps with good players because its highly unlikely that YOU personally won every single match BY YOUR SELF, news flash, this is a team game, those lucky enough to get good teams, succeed and get a decent rank, those unlucky will have a mediocre rank that doesn't reflect how good they are.
Leagues ranked system is based off of wins, not off of your individual score, you can get A+ or S over and over, and still lose over and over and have a mediocre rank. There really is no good way to rank someone, if you base it off of their score, people would just be kill steal hungry. It needs to be based off a combo of things, team fights, individual laning score and damage, objectives like baron and dragon (with your team, not you on the other side of the map while they do that), warding, team fight combo chains, coordination, cs, etc ALL TOGETHER combined,
Things like this need to all come together to determine someones "rank" before i will ever give one rats ass about it. Because as of right now, rank is based off of if you won a match or not, so when you play your series to determine your rank, you sure as hell better get lucky the first time and get A LOT of great teams, or you are gonna have a fun time trying to climb that rank tier ladder, I know i personally didn't have that luxury when i decided to attempt a rank, i had nothing but afkers, dc's, "laggers" as they claimed, feeders, and just plain out uncoordinated and senseless players who decide to flash in with 5% health into someone with 50% or more and die and go WTF like they expected to accomplish something, and finally just uncoordinated teams period. I got into silver 2 LUCKILY, i was shocked honestly, and then i haven't played ranked since.
Sure i would love to have a higher rank, but I just don't find myself caring quite enough to grind for a rank. Again rank doesn't mean anything unless your really up there, like platinum (which is still iffy), diamond or challenger, that's when you are holding your own, and can most of the time rely on your team to not totally suck donkey balls. I'm not saying I'm the best player in the world and do everything right, no, i struggle with some things just like everyone else. I just wanted to bring attention and complain about the fact that this whole ranked mentality, is really stupid, you have no right to look down on lower ranks just because you are a gold and trash talk them and then pull the ignorant ass ranked card.
The ranked system has flaws and doesn't accurately reflect a persons individual skills, a lot of people really don't care about ranked at all, a lot of people just aren't lucky, and a lot of people get into ranks that they themself didn't earn. So why you feel the need to trash talk people just because you have a higher rank, is beyond me. Theres a lot more i honestly could go on about, like how you think your good because you won an ARAM with 3 bruiser tanks and 2 super ap or adc ranged people against a bunch of squishies with no sustain or range and feel the need to say "EZ" like you earned that, i mean come on really? like they ever stood a chance in the first place you ignorant toxic dumbass, of course you won, durrr... or like how you had a great team comp of juggernauts and you beat a clearly ill-thought out team comp of people that have no team fight potential on summoners rift, and then you brag and say get better bronzies or that's why your in silver, etc etc, please... these kinds of people need to slam their head on a desk a few times and knock some damn sense into themselves.
Enough of this stupid mentality people, its toxic and unnecessary and is just plain out a dick thing to pull, honestly. Just say gg like everyone else and stop with the ranked card, no one cares that you think you are better just because you are a gold or a little higher, i mean come on... get a life please lmao...
So yeah people, enough of this already, it doesn't really make this game very inviting to new people, and its chased a lot of usual players away aswell, so ya should really consider growing up or at the very least keeping your ranked mentality in your own ranks. K? K thanks
