How to Use the Dynamic Ranked Against Trolls
A little background here. I started this season with a 6-4 promo series and was relieved to be placed in silver 5. I spent the first 30 games of the season struggling with many of issues discussed on this board. Flamers, trolls, mega feeders, and a staggering lack of competence that is almost expected in bronze/silver. We have all been through that. I was promoted to s4 then demoted to s5 and went back and forth between the two ranks almost solely due to the the cesspool of trolls that is bronze/silver. I was winning about 55 % of my games and most games were decided in champ select. If the troll(s) was/were on my team it was a loss nearly 100 percent of the time. If the troll(s) were/was on the team vice versa. A week ago, I met 3 summoners that are all high silver low gold and my friend and I started playing a lot of Dynamic Ranked in groups of 4 or 5 with them. In 3 days I went from the lowest silver 5 to the middle of silver 2 with little or no resistance. The most interesting thing about this experience (besides meeting some friendly, skilled summoners and wrecking silver) was the fact that nearly EVERY team we faced was solo que silver/gold. This week alone I have won 80-90 percent of my games and most every game has been a whitewash. While we are communicating and coordinating 4 on 2 teleport ganks, the other team is raging and flaming each other in all chat. I asked every team we played for a week if they had a duo or trio in their que and 95 percent of the time the answer has been "NO bitch just this shit (insert champion name here)" to which I just laugh, mute, enjoy the free win and report any toxic/troll like behavior on the other team. The point of this post is that I am nearly 100% sure Dynamic que has presented summoners that have been stuck in silver and bronze, a way to climb their way out if they belong in a higher Elo. It's obviously advantageous to be playing in a que where all 5 players are good at the game, friendly, and communicate Vs. a team of solo que kids who are ALMOST sure to have "that one guy" on their team that instigates toxicity, feeds uncontrollably, and single handedly ruins their own team's chances of winning, which is fine by me. When "that one guy" all chats" gg report xxx " I encourage them to keep on flaming in all chat and promptly mute the entire opposing team and coast to another free win. I STRONGLY suggest people stop playing solo que until they have found some summoners they gel with and face Dyanmic Ranked as a 4 or 5 man team. It will drastically increase your chance to win and make the game much more enjoyable. I hope it stays this way forever so my team can continue to stomp these trolls out and advance to a more suitable rank. Hoping for high gold or plat this year. I wish you all of you the same. Let me know how your 4 or 5 man ques go and try to ask the other team if anybody is playing duo's. I'd like to hear what they say.
