Please Learn To Be a Teammate

> The Problem

Summoners are not taking Ranked seriously. Some view it as the equivalent to a "warm up game" rather than a game that rewards you with LP (League Points) for winning The biggest problem is the lack of teamwork.

> What is Ranked?

A game mode in which your efforts, successes, failiures in a compilation of matches will be interpreted. The result of this is: a ranked ladder spread among your server. This mode, different from Normal Draft Pick, is a special game mode. Being successful in ranked yields plenty of rewards and fame. One will not achieve this without hard work, and of course, their teammates. > Teammates? What? We need them?

Teammates are your most important ally, in fact, they're your only allies. So why don't people treat all their teammates with kindness and courtesy?

I'm waiting for an answer...
