Sigh.

I've been playing for 5 or 6 seasons now. Never changed accounts, i have some smurf accs but i don't really play on them, other than the one in taiwan they aren't even lvl 10 yet. Riot, get real. If my top lane mastery 7 akali has given yasuo the 7th kill in less than 10 minutes into the game, I'mma get tilted. I ganked her while she was only 0/4 (which is about 5 minutes in) after I lvl 3 soloed the ocean drake. I gifted her the kill instead of taking it myself even though she was already flaming in champ select, mimimi aatrox jungle troll, useless. I tell her to not be fucking overextended under yasuo's tower the whole time, which she ignores. Even after successful gank on her lane, she continues flaming my ass about how useless I am even though I'm all over the map because my support had the great idea of nasus support. After a failed gank mid where I almost kill azir and zed dies throwing his w under tower, porting to it even though azir was obviously out of aa range then throwing his shuriken and getting both tower aggro and stuck in his minions, I ganked bot and killed caitlyn, all the while listening to how bad I am because.... I don't even know. I really don't. At some point zed started pitching in because he started doing the same thing as akali, and hecarim started gangbanging him. So I say okay. If I'm so useless, best to just leave the game. Which I did, after which they lost, big surprise. In the game after that, I call that I'm starting top in champ select. I go up there to find maokai and master yi waiting for me. I fought them while all 3 of us were doing the blue buff, but maokai got it in the end somehow. The fighting continued, when they were both at 1/5th hp they finally (?) killed me. Heimer and lissandra watched, but heimer rotated down right after they killed me, at least. Just to get himself killed. Master yi is now 2/0/0. Lissandra hasn't moved an inch. I go down, do my red, go to my krugs, where I find a yi. Leona starts coming down but is kind of scared because she's low and yi has 2 kills. I engage on yi, we start fighting, my adc does not move. Leona is pinging the shit out of yi, I'm fighting and at some point kiting but he uses ghost. I get him to 50 hp but he kills me, leona runs in and finishes him after he does my big krug. Xayah did not move an inch. I don't even comment on it, I just do drake at lvl 2. Because I can. So my blue is coming up, and who do I find? Master Yi and Mao Kai. This time heimer rushes down on time, but le blanc joins the fray. In the meantime, lissandra does nothing. She's waiting under her tower for the minions to reach lane. Heimer and I go absolutely apeshit on the enemy, but I'm super behind and yi si super ahead, and it's a 3 v 2. We almost killed yi and mao, but leblanc popped heimer and maokai's ult caught me and killed me after I tried to escape to top tier 2 tower. Then lissandra starts coming down, she hasn't even touched the wave, and gifts yi another kill and leblanc and maokai an assist. I afked. This is all in rankeds.

You've been putting me in matchmaking with the most... Mentally challenged players, I swear. Not only do they not look at the map, ever, but even when they do, they consistently make the wrong decisions if they even make decisions. Like, if your mechanics are crap it's okay, but simple gameplay stuff is just nonexistent for them. And I stay cool, most of the time. I'll hardcarry the most intense feeders in my elo, but if you feed your ass off and then start flaming me because your mom doesn't love you, I'm out. I don't want to put up with that shit. And yeah, mute all works for the flaming yet not the feeding, you can't mute in champ select, and I rather be able to communicate because I literally need to tell each member of my team what to do, every game or I lose. Because it's mandatory for my team to chase a kayn with full mana from his to our back to his jungle into the enemy team while we lose a tower to minions on the other side of the map while I'm defing mid and top has tp up, unless I tell them to chill the fck out, stop chasing and look at their map. I dance on the table if one of them is smurfing, then I just let him do what he wants to and coordinate the rest around the map and win off that.

Now you gave me a 5 game low priority queqe, and a chat limit with 5 messages. Low pri queqe, okay. Make it 20 min, not 5 games you fuckers because now i need to waste 3 or 4 hours of my life playing normals with others in the low priority queqe with basically 5 messages to tell my team how to win. No, they can't win by themselves. I have won a couple of 4 v 5s, but never in all these years has my team won a 4v5 where I was the missing piece. I still get to listen to people shit all over me all the time, trolled left and right, flamed on, and matched with players that started playing yesterday. And then you give me a chat limit? Are you insane? I just got some key fragments for getting so many tilt proof and shot calling honors, and then you chat limit me? Man I wasted so much of my life on this game and year to year I'm getting less and less back. I barely have half of the champs out there, and the ones left to buy are basically all 6400 and 4800s. Do you know how long that's gonna take? More than 3 years, I did the math.

I will hit gold this month and then quit. I'm tired of being forced on a 50% winrate. After I win, I can tell you that 90% of the time I lose the game after that because I get someone in my team who is just.... Bonkers. Absolutely bonkers, mentally ill. At some point I was wondering if they were bots, scripted to be toxic and feed, because it's just that unrealistic. Most of the time lux, yasuo, yi or miss fortune. It doesn't matter in which elo I play, b1 or p1 my winrate is gonna be 50%, and it's gonna be a slow as fuck grind just to hit gold, but I'm good enough and have enough time to do it because gold players aren't really even skilled, they're just a bit more tenacious. I'm playing on a 6 year old laptop with 49 ms ping and 47 fps with insane spikes, it doesn't matter to me. When I started I was playing with 200ms. It kind of hurts when you look back on years of this game and see you've achieved nothing, and gold is still nothing in my opinion but it looks better than nothing.

Not only is the community toxic as fuck, riot punishes regardless of the severity of the actions. And yeah the punishment is only semi severe, but tbh that's like getting half a year in jail for stealing all NSA data and selling it to russia, but also getting half a year in jail for stealing bread crumbs.

So here's my message to the rest of you. If you hit platinum, you still aren't shit, and there are people in bronze 2 that can 1v1 you in their sleep. But don't give up, if you practice you might just get good, and you don't have to learn how to play in lower elos, as well as not having to climb through 10 divisions. If you get higher, start streaming. If you haven't been playing that long and end up in bronze, quit, or make a new account. Queqe up with a buddy with high mmr, win more games than you lose and get placed gold. Yeah you might suck, but it's better to learn how to play in gold than in bronze. Don't soloqueqe placements if you've played many normals, you'll end up in bronze/low silver unless you're smurfing. It doesn't matter how much you flame, just win the game and nobody will give a fuck anyway. You can dodge in champ select once every 2 weeks without worrying, if your team comp is shit, better to flame the shit out of the person bullshitting until he dodges, works better if you're duo queqing.

Good luck have fun, this is probably also gonna be my second to last post because tbh, who really reads all this? Most people get hung up on the 1st thing they disagree with and try to argue from there, not in the mood for arguing. I'll find something good to say when I hang this on the wall.

One more thing, riot your key and chest drop ratios are insanely fcked up. I sat on 5 chests and 1 key fragment not too long ago, now I'm back to 3 chests and no fragments. Like, if you're 2 of either ones ahead it's okay, but 5 to 1/15th is a fucked up ratio.
