Ranked is horrible: A story

I've played a grand total of two ranked games. Got roflstomped in both of them, though given I am not good at this game, not surprising. What is surprising is how horrible the people are.

Game 1: Queue for support/bot, get support. Absolutely nobody chats. Say hi? Ask who they want me to ban? Nothing. Okay, guess I'll play Nami. Not a single word until we spawn in rift, when Yasuo opens with "shit". And that's about all that's said. . . 20 minutes later, we're down 17 kills, 3 turrets, and a whopping 10K gold. Random pings everywhere that make no sense (?'s and !'s on warded lanes with no possibility of something being there). 2 or 3 FF votes fail because of one guy. Finally they roll up on our doorstep and the FF goes through. End the game 3/6/11 with at least some of those deaths the result of people not communicating.

Game 2: Queue for support/bot, get support. Say hi. Oh boy.. here we go again. Ask who they want me to ban? Yup, still silent. Make a comment to this effect "Oh boy is nobody chatting again?" and finally two of them pipe up. Get a bit of banter going, everything sounds good. Again, nami.

We spawn in rift. Enemy Draven opens by telling us about how big of a shit he took. (That is a verbatim quote.) Great.. muted that mess, but then my Garen starts up on it too. Fantastic. Our MF tells (not asks) me not to farm, and I say fine, ADC should get the farm anyways. So we're in bot lane, getting absolutely wrecked by a Draven/Diana combo. MF isn't farming, and since she's so far back, my E&F bounces go nowhere. Meanwhile, she starts tearing into me about how bad I am at Nami.

Hoo boy.. . . . 20 minutes later, we're down 10k gold, 14 kills, 5 turrets, and two dragons. At least 3 FF votes have failed thanks to one guy. Guess who? Yup, our toxic MF who claims we can recover from that hole, despite the rest of the team (and one guy who won't vote) wanting to get it over with. We're pushed into our nexus. Garen starts yelling at me to heal - he just saw me launch E&F, heal with what exactly, happy thoughts?

MF is running all over the place trying to keep the super minions away from the few remaining turrets, I start bubbling them because it's the only offensive weapon I have and our turrets are taking damage. Guess what? Yup, I shouldn't do that either. My CS of 25 in a 33 minute game apparently means I was stealing her farm. She dies after Draven pops up and drags her out of the nexus to be pounced on by the entire enemy team, who quickly demolishes our last bot lane tower and inhibitor. Yup, my fault too, I should have bubbled the three of them which would have let her, who just burned Flash, escape. Again, my fault.

Eventually the nexus falls, and I end at 3/6/11. We get into postgame, and the first thing out of MF's mouth is "GG Nami, don't play ranked. Apparently you were too busy stealing my farm!"

After this last pearl of wisdom, she disconnected. Reported for unsportsmanlike.

Not that it matters. I'm never touching ranked again until something, anything is done about these jerk players.

For Riot's consideration: I** would pay serious, real life money for some kind of vetting program that matches non-jerks with other confirmed non-jerks across all skills levels.**
