The Attitudes of Ranked are Attrocious

Why does it seem like 75% of the normals games I play, the players are actually nice, or at least neutral in their outlook on each other. But every single ranked game I queue up for is a mess? In the 50ish ranked games I have played this season, I have reported 2 or more people in over 40 of them. Each of the 6 ranked games I played this past week I have reported 2-4 people per game, and have received 4 Instant Feedback Reports (That's more in a week than I have gotten in the 5 years I have been playing COMBINED). I understand ranked is more competitive, but seriously? Every single game you queue into is filled from the start with flaming, people giving up, people leaving, spamming ff votes from 15 minutes onward, it's just ridiculous. The automated system needs an overhaul in my opinion, because everybody knows how it works now. I have seen very few of these people curse someone out or use any zero-tolerance phrases, but the level of toxicity is just as high. When the vast majority of the toxic players have figured out the system and are working around it for weeks, it needs to be adjusted. As volatile as the balancing is in the game, the community turns me away from League more than anything else.

And yes I know, "Just mute and move on." But that is not a solution, that's not even a temporary fix. The way of dealing with people who are intent on being incredibly toxic from champ select/first two minutes of the game onward should never just be "Ignore them until they go away in half an hour." Sorry for the rant.

To be honest, that's exactly how I feel and it's not like I am terrible or people on my team are terrible. It's just that one person or group of people who decide to make things horrid. I lost my recent match and towards the end someone on my team said I and mid was trash. Excuse me, but I did what I could to assist and not die as much as possible. While we were struggling bot, jungle was mostly helping top. We had little to no assist in bot while zoe just one shot constantly and well, eventually bot went down first because there was nothing we could do.

Muting does only so much, but sometimes I feel like there needs to be another way to eliminate toxic players or players who become toxic in game. I still think and believe that rank shouldn't be based on overall how your team does. You can have amazing players at their roles, but a team that never merges on top. You can win all your lanes, but your team mates who lose theirs. Yes, lol is a team game, but if someone on your team decides to be the issue, then you and everyone else fails because that person is an ass. I still don't get why rank can't be on individuals and their roles. It could possibly be a way to also tell players which roles their strong at and what type of champions are better suit for their play style based on the role(s)/champions they work well with.

Yeah ranked is the worst. Recently had a duo who flamed me after I made a "mistake" in their eyes. Proceeded to flame all the way through to stats screen. It's especially tough when you have a duo who are both mad, they tend to defend the other and are really stubborn. Many duo's won't ever look at their partner's mistakes, but will flame the other people. It just makes it really difficult to act as a team. Whether they're duos or solos, it's still frustrating to get those kind of people.

Its funny how the attitudes of these children (and By children I mean mentally speaking, considering they will throw a perfectly winnable match because the team doesnt coddle them or jump on command, choosing instead to throw infantile tantrums and toxicity at spawn. All so the can "punish" thier team..usually hurling somethin along the lines of "you dont deserve to win now" after you 'ks' them) will flame and degrade you, tell you how "trash" you are compared to them, or has been slung at me. And Yet, as soon as you mute them it becomes "Report X for refusal to communicate with thier team and trolling" Refusal to communicate for muting the toxicity and trolling for not doing what they command of you and sitting there putting up with thier insults and toxicity.

So its ok for them to flame YOU But the moment you try and mute, they turn around and say you are "trolling" and "Refusing to communicate" because you dont want to listen to them go on about how you are "Total garbage" at the game and "need to go die in a fire"

Gee its such a mystery, why would I ever want to mute my teams...I really cant guess. [zombie-brand-facepalm]
