Poll: What is your motivation when you hit the Ranked Que up button?

I am fairly new to league, I went 7-3 in provisions and was places Silver 2 , but had a lot of games with plat players. Hence I lost quite a lot of games. Besides the matchmaking system sucking, the base of players are beyond thoughts. It is like they could care less about winning at all. Also it seems like there are a HUGE number of trolls in this elo. But there isnt anything you can do it about it because it is just a "bad game." I mean seriously what is even the point of playing anymore. Decent players and even good players get punished and the game is so damn snowbally that literally one person can ruin a game for EVERYONE! It is absurb how one person can feed become so heavy that it throws off the dynamics of the game, but if one person gets fed on your team, it is still a toss-up. No one wants to group or go for objectives they rather run through the jungle and chase and eve and hope to get a kill, like the more kills they have, the more lp they will get. Then it is seems like an endless cycle of: go mid, clear 2 waves, recall, go mid, clear 2 waves, chase through jg, recall, go mid, ping bot and top waves, 4 people go bot to clear waves, top now open. recall..start cycle over. You would think the concept of this game is simple, but no one wants criticism or to work together, everyone just wants to do their own thing. 80% of players seem like they would rather lose doing things their own way, than win while following a helpful suggestion. Lord forbid you ask your Yasuo top laner to stop 1 v 1 with Darius who is 3-0 in 7 minutes, then youll get a reply "stfu noob let me do what i want or i afk ." Its like no one can adjust their play style to situations, they rather just die. So my question is why even play? If you arent willing to cooperate with your team and atleast attempt a victory, why not just play a different game? Is everyone just playing 4 fun and farts?

Climb.

I think that's the only reason anyone would ever hit ranked instead of normal draft, especially given how much worse the games are in that mode.

Begin with the end in mind.

Mine is to get my ranked goals. Which is just silver for this year. Next year it will be gold.

Now that I've hit my goal, I can't be bothered with ranked anymore.

Mostly for fun, but I tend to play ranked more often from my favorite gaming cafe, since I can earn in-house bonuses for it. Elsewhere, I prefer arams and normal draft.

Well as you are an aware newcomer to ranked, welcome indeed. And yeah it used to not be this way, but gone are the good ol' days of Seasons 1-3. The trolls weren't really real players and a reality to the regular game back then. They were just there to grief. And people actually respected a balanced team of damage, cc, and front lining.

I want the skin, and I want to be better than those in my friend group
