League of Legends age group

I think that league of legends should get more "serious" or accountable, by diving players by age groups.

Now a days, Players are older mixed with younger players. My idea is to get older players together. The same for younger people.

Including myself as a old eSport fan, which spend "precious" time playing the game, I am mixed with younger players that have more "leisure" time to play the game and literally don't give a f***. Most of my ranked games, I have some "kid" giving up after 6 min. The next game I have a "kid" getting killed 9 times at 11 min. There is a huge difference between a 17 years old guy enjoying himself by playing league and a 35 years old person playing the game to evade from work-pressure etc..... I am far from 35 but I know people at that age that plays the game and do complain about the age difference and maturity toward the game.

Dividing the game by age group, can increase community satisfaction.

If needed I would love to participate in a survey where I am from (QUEBEC)

Thank you

There's no good way to verify age though, and I know some young players more team-oriented, responsible, and friendly than many older players.

It's really tied to personal views more than age, so I don't believe this system would accomplish anything other than shrinking the player pool for both queues.

I smell a match making disaster if they tried your idea.

Except not everyone is the same. I play the game leisurely and I'm 26. When I do rank I will be more competitive, but for normals and other maps I play for a good time. Which as odd as it sounds, I can even do when people troll and flame.

On the flip side, I know an 18 year old who plays the game more seriously than I do too.

Well on the former client there was a selection you had to make after creating your new account - I noticed a difference when I selected casual play vs. lets call it "professional" gameplay. This was a good separation area for those who are serious and those whose MOBA skills weren't as keen. From what I could tell most people just selected 'master' and basically trolled others who took it seriously. Age ranged group allows a troll to go into a match were 'serious adults' would queue and ruin their matches just as easy. Same would apply to adults who want kids to be targeted and etc.

A neat idea, and personally I'd love it if it were to actually work, but it would never actually work.

Trolls will just set their group to whatever generates the most laughs for them.
