I didn't write this, but I REALLY think Riot needs to take this into consideration...

I have come to the conclusion that too high of a majority of the people who play ranked games at bronze-silver and I am sure, even sometimes gold elo do not actually differentiate between Ranked and Unranked games. In other words, they play ranked games with little to no care or effort, when they should leave that mindset in aarams or even unranked ques.

There needs to be a better system of punishment for players who are intentionally and obviously (consistently) not putting forth effort in ranked games. I am talking about players who not only feed, but also players who have obviously given up well before a game would end. Do not neglect lower elos, because I can tell you from personal experience that the lower the elo the worse this problem is - which makes climbing a living nightmare

Why should players who are trying their damndest in any elo be penalized for players who type in chat "gg" at 10 minutes after giving away 4 kills?

I don't understand why I need to lose lp because of these people.

I 100% agree with the person who wrote this. Solo que could be a bitch sometimes last season but it was a steady climb if you were good, now it's like a rollar coaster.

And how would you like Riot to determine and then police people who are 'not showing enough effort'.

Obviously, what you are calling for is a "Try Hard Police"!! Maybe you can form that organization, monitor game, and report to Riot every time players are not trying hard enough.

STOP! You have been busted by the Try Hard Police!!! Pull your champion over to the curb and put your hands in the air! Freeze motha-fucka, or I shoot -- this report straight over to Rito!

That's because ranked is a joke since dynamic queue.

You walk into treacherous territory when you try to punish people based on pure, biased opinion. There is no gauge for "not putting forth effort," and everything you've mentioned has been flat out trolling. Furthermore, whether you believe it or not, ranked is "only a game." The only people for whom this is more than a game are the pros who get paid and endorsed to play in the LCS and World's scenes. So keep that in mind, and remember, you theoretically play League to relax and enjoy your gaming experience. Blowing a vein everytime someone doesn't perform according to your opinion in ranked gets you nor your team anywhere.
