Hold on, I've got the perfect rule:
Don't tell other people how they should play.
Yes. I will. If players dc'ing, trolling, and being too tilted to play they should not play ranked. Dc because of bad connection lost be 2 games yesterday from 99 LP to 62 LP Sona PTA top should be reportable in ranked. That is actually trolling. I am ok with non meta but that is not non meta. That is trolling.
ModWulf Helhammer8 votesIf players dc'ing, trolling, and being too tilted to play they should not play ranked.
Yes, they probably should. Playing while tilted generally isn't good.
But that doesn't give you the right or authority to make them not play.

How? Trolling is going AP Vayne, something that actually doesn't work. Trolling is not taking something unorthodox (but still with the intent to win, and with a strategy behind it) but it's just something you don't like.

Dude do you play league?! Sona with Press the attack is bad. She picked into a Darius, built Luden's first, Proceded to go 1/9 if i remember correctly. TROLLING
zPOOPz3 votesbad =/= trolling
redniwediS3 votesSona's power cord does a lot of damage, particularly when she's not building support. If she can get three auto attacks off before using it that would be a nice chunk of damage.

Against a Darius. Nope. He rushes a spirit visage and takes no damage. Sona went 1/9
redniwediS5 votesWhich one picked first? Getting counterpicked isn't exactly a punishable offense, and picking a Juggernaut into a one trick burst mage works pretty darn well.

well PTA Sona top is trolling. You would not want it on your team in ranked either. and darius picks first.
redniwediS3 votesI like how you drop the conversation I'm trying to have with you and just call it trolling again. It's suboptimal, but suboptimal picks have never in the history of League been considered trolling.
Trolling requires intent. I don't use the word requires lightly here, and regardless of how you feel on the matter if there is not intent there is nothing punishable about this situation.

So if i WANT TO WIN and do not "int feed" and go on hit anivia adc thats ok? What about full ad Karma? I dont care if they have the intent to win these kind of picks have under a 10% of working unless in the hands of a smurf. THIS IS TROLLING
redniwediS3 votesYou realize Riot has, in no uncertain terms, said that this sort of thing is not trolling, right? You can disagree, but you're wrong on this.
So long as you're doing something with the intention of using it to win you're not trolling. Certain builds are out of the question, like AP Riven (no AP scaling at all), but something like Press The Attack on a burst mage is perfectly acceptable.
Anivia actually has a lot of tools that make her decent as the bot lane carry. I wouldn't recommend going AD, but that's not entirely out of the question. Karma actually has some AD builds as well. She usually goes Iceborn Gauntlet with some tank instead of full AD, but I'm sure additional AD wouldn't be completely out of place.
These are old builds that have been off meta picks for years, and I do find it amusing that you went with them instead of something a little more off the wall.

Seriously? I know his delivery was poor, but he does have a point.
ModWulf Helhammer10 votesNo, he really doesn't.
If he had offered this as suggestions, such as "Maybe don't play ranked while in a loss streak or tilted, as that tends to make you preform worse."
But he didn't. He said people should be forced in how they do things. That is never ok, under any circumstance.
BlueThingamajig2 votesTo be fair, the first one (if you don't have good internet connection, don't play) is already a rule, and already enforced via the leaverbuster.
webstar19951 votesSeriously? I know his delivery was poor, but he does have a point.
people dont get that these are not actually rules lol just things that people should generally think about before playing ranked
Onecimus3 votesRULES OF RANKED:
OOOOH I like rules. I was always that kid who busts out the monopoly rules whenever convenient... monopoly is surprisingly bloody when everyone is punching you in the face...
If you do not have good internet connection. Do not play.
People with poor internet connection already get punished for DCing. This has actually been a controversy on the other side of it ("should I get punished for bad internet???"). So yes, if they consistently have a bad connection, in a way this is already a rule.
A good start. Redundant, but good start.
If you have lost 2-3 games in a row. Do not play.
Some people simply don't tilt. Some people don't care enough to tilt. Should they be punished? Maybe they are trying to grind out those last few LP to gold before they go on vacation so they can show their sick high elo mastery to a girl they meet. It might happen...
If you do not know the patch notes. Do not play.
I mean yeah, it helps to know where your champion is at after a patch, but really this is only of minimal help. Half the time reading them does nothing to prepare you for playing on them anyway. Like with runes reforged.
If you want to try out PTA Sona Top. Do not play.
I'm assuming you mean playing off meta? No. Just... no.
I don't know how many times I have won on a team with an off meta pick.
GO PLAY ARAMS OR NORMALS NOT RANKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARAM is niche and "who cares, it's norms" makes norms no fun. What's fun about ranked is that you know everyone is generally trying their best. So you get to really see how good you are compared to your peers.
Over all I would give your rules a 6/10. I've read far worse, but I've definitely read better.

LOL nice. I appreciative you actually reading this correctly. PTA Top Sona was just an example or trol picking. I am fine with off meta but pick something that has a chance. Like AD Sion, AP Varus, Panth mid, Camile support...you get it. This person picks press the attack Sona into a Darius. I consider that reportable

Maybe, just maybe, make a party of players you know instead of playing ranked with randoms and screeching when something bad happens?

Ranked is for people that are trying to be a higher ranked. Not to try new strats that their 8 year old brother told them they saw on youtube. and how do you party up with people in solo q?
Thee Pie Man1 votesI think you're playing the game wrong. How about you just play with a team of people? If you think you shouldn't have to be forced to play with other people then you're being a hypocrite.

How do you play with "a team of people" in Solo Q ranked?
Thee Pie Man4 votesAlright, avoid the question and phrase it another way...
Why are you playing with solo q ranked and then complain about an issue of lack of team synergy of people you don't know?
You're literally choosing the game mode to play over another for some reason- and if it's just the freedom of choice you're still being a hypocrite saying people should be forced to do things while you're free to do as you wish.
Those people all have their own motivations to playing the champions they do, the builds they do, and the like because they are free to enjoy the game at their own pace. You're also free to enjoy the game and not let what other people are doing bother you, you're choosing not to do so because you feel other people's choices are impacting the game, while at the same time not choosing to make a team of your own to combat the very problems you're speaking of. Rather than being flexible you want everyone else to bend to your whims.
Just don't see why everyone else has to do what you say, while you can ignore perfectly viable options and alternatives that would take care of the issue that you're having. You're coming off as condescending man.
People play ranked to increase their PERSONAL RANK. You're telling me you have team mates that are holding you back, when all I'm seeing is someone that is refusing to improve and would rather complain about the issues they face. All because you're not having an easier time climbing in a game designed to keep you in bracket divisions until you significantly improve- which is hard when all you're doing is fighting people of the same tier, making the same mistakes as you.
