Some facts I thought everyone would enjoy. Pathetic.

So, i'm back. After ALOT of playing, and a lot more disappointment. I have my proof(through words only of course, because i'm not bored enough to make records). I only recorded the numbers in word, and totaled after 50 total games.

I have played exactly 50 games over 10 days. The following are the recorded offenses I experienced and reported during those 50 games. All were ranked games in Silver to Gold elo. :D

AFK's = 19(Most of game) , 13(AFK that I seen myself, for at least 1 min, but not exceeding 5.)

Toxic = 71(I knew it was bad, just didn't realize how bad. Wow.) This is only threats, and insults. Cussing.

Non-abuse Toxic(grieving, feeding INT) = 43

No smite in jungle = 3(2 really, because I grabbed it at the last second, and jungled myself the last time It happened)

Just added the no smite because I though it was super funny. 3/50 games the jungle in silver/gold elo forgets smite. Haha.

Anyways, I refuse to play anymore league at all, until the new season comes. Even then, if they haven't done anything about this bs, i'm probably ending my "career". Not to draw attention or anything. It's just disgusting, to leave my rank and hardwork in the hands of four random people, who more often than not, are bad people, as far as in-game ethics and sportsmanship go. I just can't support a game like that. This is coming from a man, who works everyday of his life for that money, about a grand over the last year, which was spent on this game. ALOT toward the 2016 prize pool.

My main question is, after realizing I can't be the only paying customer, that is no longer spending, because of toxicity and impossible ranked climb in this game.......What exactly is fair about all this to riot? It's just that I repeatedly read riot staffers words and posts. Videos. Stuff like that. Ialmost always see something about "Fair" or "Balance". So, what is balanced about leaving my rank and hardwork up to four complete and total strangers? Who, if we go by the statistics, will troll, feed, or be toxic at the very least, once a game. I LOVE this game. But I've went from loving League of Legends, promoting it in my town, going to events, and supporting you in game, and out of game merch, to literally not even being able to talk myself into playing on my days off. I get tired of getting in-game, and being cussed out, right before they mute you, and blame you for not carrying them, and the bot lane that went 0/11 in 20 min. I just hate that's where we're at as a community is all. It hurts, because I love this game and have watched it grow ALOT. So fun honestly, and my favorite game, when it's what I sign on for. A balanced, clean, fun and challenging game of ranked, with a side of making friends and unlocking cheats to get that skin I can't afford the rp for this month! Haha.

Anyways, thanks for listening to this rant, if you took the time to read it. I just want to try and do something about this, before it gets unfixable. Please.

Man, this is way worse than what I experience. I've actually had generally good times playing league recently, meeting several chill people and not really losing any games to trolling. At least, not on my end of the river.

Maybe I'll do a similar study.

Wow. I've only been playing about a season and a half. I've seen it countless times. Although I will say it's not usually 3 times every 50 games. lol.

It is really hard to figure out what you mean when you aren't really defining what those terms might mean. In a negative perspective, it might be kind of biased.

If you don't want 4 random bad players on your team, then why don't you just find a group of people to play ranked games with? If you don't know at least 4 people irl that play League there are plenty of people here that would be willing to make a team with you.

I have been playing since seosan 3 and seen maybe 2 or 3 players forget smite.

still not as bad as my own study in which I did keep track of over 50 games in low elo.

TBH, scrolling back through the pages of this forum, that's all people complain about is toxic and trolling players in ranked/norms. Why hasn't something been done toward fixing the problem already? I mean, twice I've ever been stuck in games with people whom I've had to mute in past games!

I could barely do 50 games tbh. I'm not stupid enough to believe a redtag, will ever even read this, let alone actually respond or do something about it. I done it mainly, because it's like the problem that riot REFUSES to confront. Basically, I think it's because they are clueless on how to act. Ranked is broken, norms is going there quickly, unless you q with 5 people. I'm not real surprised by any of the stats, besides the AFK's. I knew it happened often in my ranked matches, but I try not to dwell on it, so I never realized it was so often.
