Is it ok to half ass your games in ranked or what?

I just had a extremely shitty day full of lost promos, teemos on my team and trolls and it can only get worse but I think the last game tops it off. I had a feeding bot lane and I wouldn't usually get toxic but I did because while they keep dying they are laughing their asses off knowing they are making mistakes and just laughing it off like it's nothing. I said guys stop fucking around this is ranked, if you want to lose play normal. They just shrugged it off and said "it's just a game".

ofc didn't even bother reporting them since they weren't toxic and we all know riot only punishes toxic people.

also they were like 6-9 and 0-6 not like 0-10 if you are thinking that

What you see as "half ass-ing" may be them having a shitty day IRL and not being able to tryhard.

Maybe they just got outplayed and snowballed on. One of the most important things to remember, if you have anger issues, is that it is just a game after all. For real though. Think about it.

I have yet to seen anyone get punished for doing that. You can just claim you're "playing off meta" and you're fine. Might get banned if you do it for 250+ straight games though (I literally saw a dude that had over 250+ straight games of going 1-40-3 average. not shitty you).

i've had this argument a number of times.

Some people refuse to acknowledge the difference between exhibition games and ranked games.

And it is probably the biggest reason the community is as "toxic" as it is. And yet, rito just keeps putting things in place to make the game even more noob friendly, like halving the time it takes to get to level 30 in half. But don't tell the social justice warriors that. They still think their method of banning everyone who "flames" is going to solve the issue, despite 3+ years of it clearly doing nothing.
