Thoughts on New Ranked System

Mastadon·2/9/2016, 9:06:37 AM·2 votes·458 views

Hello everyone, I am Mastadon and I have played league of legends since Season 2. During my time with league I have dealt with tons of frustration while climbing the ladder, as we all have. I have been successful in climbing but at what cost? Today I only feel enjoyment when I win games and even so, these victories can still be long frustrating matches. I no longer enjoy playing the game for the game and for one reason. The people! I know what you're thinking, "this guy is trash and uses his teammates as an excuse as to why he can't win games." Well you would be wrong. I have grown beyond that "noob" phase and I am aware that I am at fault at times too. But I am not here to complain about bad players. I am here to complain about trolls, toxicity, and afk'ers. Recently I have encountered many more toxic players than I could ever imagine. I have honestly stopped enjoying the game because every time I que up, it consists of the same BS. I am a person who takes ranked play seriously and try to win every game, yet I do not get the same effort from others. Climbing ranked has been the only satisfaction I get from league of legends and to lose because of a player being uncooperative or toxic really irritates me. The past month has been my worst experience while playing league of legends and I want it to stop. So I have a small idea for what we can do to improve our ranked play.

I believe it is time for the league of legends community and Riot to take ranked play more seriously. I suggest introducing a system where Riot looks at your tribunal history or any record they may have to provide such information, and somehow determine the type of player you are. If you are constantly flaming, have left too many games, have had several chat restrictions or even temporary bans, I believe you should not be able to play in ranked matches. Personally I would like to see less people being banned from the game as a whole and more people being banned from ranked matches (temporary or permanent). I do not know if this would be considered or how difficult of a system this would be for Riot to place but I believe it would make playing league of legends much more enjoyable for a lot of people.

Please feel free to share any ideas you may have that would make the ranked experience of league of legends more enjoyable and less toxic. Also please let me know how you guys feel about my idea. Thank you everyone who has taken the time to read this.

-Sincerely, Mastadon

Voted yes, I like it.

If you routinely get reported for rage quits, AFK's, griefing, intentionally feeding and/or trolling in ranked matches you should lose the privilege of playing them.

For example:

1st offense - 1 day ranked ban 2nd offense - 14 day ranked ban 3rd offense - Season ranked ban

Watch how fast all the bullshit that occurs in ranked comes to a complete halt if Riot implemented that system.

Ranked is a representation of skill, not emotions. And i believe just winning/loosing isn't always skill though and should have KDA taken in to a certain extend. Cause sometimes a comp just can't beat another comp. Also c__ause i loose most games i do amazing in and win most i feed in, prob cause I'm just a supp/jungle but other players can impact you in negative ways that are very unfair and sometimes there are situations that some one has the right to be mad and there is a simple solution players always forget... THERE IS A MUTE BUTTON FOR A REASON, and you can toggle it on/off through out the game, not like it's permanent. But people can't get over their ego and have to continue to provoke someone and use the report button as their "Ha I'm right and your wrong because I can just report you instead of ignoring you and muting" which i think reporting is abused and childish most of the times.
