Ranked Games Are Getting Worse?

FireBird2013··1 votes·1,015 views

Hello everybody i hope you are having a beautiful day so here s gonna be a long post about ranked games these days.

  • First of all everyone is excited to play ranked for the first time however i would advise those** fresh level 30 players** to search a friend or a full premade team to get started.There are several reasons for this on ranked almost everyone takes the game** very seriously** as it might be their promos or they just wanna win no matter what.Also there are some trolls there trying to ruin a game for a simple mistake you have made.Examples:You have accidentally ban his main champion so he is so furious he will go and feed (I always ask if it is ok or not to ban a champion so just do..It takes about 5 seconds if they don't respond then at the last second ban the specific champion this will help you avoid further complications).

  •  Now for the **trading part in champion** select yes it might be cool to trade champions with **a random player** but what if you mess up and he hasn't got the champion you want  (these simple mistakes look ridiculous but they happened to me several times) so if the guy isn't premade with you or you aren't  100%  sure that he has your champion then don't rely on trading as it could ruin your game.

  • For more experienced summoners there is still a lot to learn and most importantly is their attitude. Some players are really sensitive to flame or if you insult them after each mistake yes sometimes you just can't hold it back or maybe you wanted to give an advice to someone but he misunderstood and thought that it was sarcasm (How can this happen easily **everybody flames including me **sometimes and people just don;t care how does this influence their games).

  • A long time ago i thought it was only a matter of skill to win or not but no there is a lot more you have to be good individually but also as a teammate.So if you are a good top laner and you win your lane and bot isn't doing good ask them to put a ward in the second bush and teleport there give the some kills and this may bring you closer to winning the game or at least people may give you a honor because you were such a friendly helpful mate.

  • If you want to blame someone blame** yourself** you are not perfect try to improve after every game so if you try hard enough surely you will advance to your desired division.

  • Now there are trolls which just come and ruin your games without any reason they just wanna do it because maybe last time some1 ruined his/her game try to stop them don't put oil on the fire try cheering them up but DO NOT SAY SUCH THINGS LIKE DO IT.Why?Because despite all the effort riot has made still they do not always ban these people from ranked and does it even matter for you if he has been baned?No you probably lost your game had a bad time gave him a report and lost lp but it is very unlikely that you will be matched up with the same person you just reported if so you get in a lobby with the guy who trolled last game your usual reaction might be Fck U Again Noob don't do this it could be your promos so if you leave you will automatically lose but maybe he won't remember you expect if you have a really unique name and he might be a great player afterall :D

  • Sorry for the long post remember to always be positive help your teammates hope you found this helpful and maybe you still don;t think that your attitude influences your game there are players who are simply bad don't flame them at least not ingame after the game in the lobby you can tell them your opinion :D Maybe you will like my video which i made with Cho'Gath Have A Good Day.

I've seen some of the worst ranked play I've ever seen this season. If it's not a 4 man premade, it's that one troll who due to the new teamwork meta has more power than ever to fuck you over.

There are so many players who are clearly new, are sharing accounts and could care less about competitive play, yet alone the game period.

I'm likely taking a break after coming off four 5k-9k gold lead throws.

That is absolutely true yes there are players who are still new to the game and Riot just made it easier to get to lvl 30 and most of the time they start ranked as soon as possible maybe that is their very first time entering a draft queqe and yes they may Ruin your games.I failed 3 of my promos to g3 then I got back to g5 now I am g4 and I would like to get to plat this season.As for the account Trading it is just sad that people can't work their way up and then they just buy an acc.Honest players don't deserve this some work hard to get to their desired Division then their game gets ruined by unexperienced players who just got their acc and probably they don't have fun neither so I have no idea why are they doing this.

I hate the "Don't worry if you lose, improve yourself" argument.

OK....I go 9-0 in lane, but bot has gone 0-12, and mid is 1-9. Pretty freaking hard to keep a smile on my face when theoretically, I won. I now just lost because of a bunch of retarded team-mates that won't stop fighting amongst eachother and just AFK in the fountain. Now whoever isn't irked by something like that A) Has no competitive drive. B) Has no emotion, or C) Just doesn't give a shit....and in that case, why are you even playing ranked?

It's an endless grind of knowing you are good enough to win YOUR lane, but you just hope and pray that the rest of your team aren't just feeding and being trolls.

"Thats OK....if you deserve your division, you'll get it".

Right. But ya know, when you have a kid, a girlfriend and a job....I can only afford to play 1 - 2 games a day, IF IM LUCKY. Having trolls throw 1 single game really screws with your time and you LP. The game caters to people that have no lives or are 12 and can sit at home and actually troll 5 games a day, and then play serious for 5 more.

Just highlighting some of the reasons why people actually get angry at the trolls, and it's beyond the players control.

Yes i usually win may lane and i also try to help the team.So if you are having a good score start roaming try helping them to get a kill.And yes this is really challenging because the players on bot can't even place a ward in the second bush so u could tp in there and help them.I am 17 next year i am graduating i used to play about 10 games and most of them are loses,As i wrote in the post i got from g3 promo to g5.Try to get a friend who you trust that he will win an important lane just like you and maybe 2 can carry it.But yes it is hard to advance these days.I wish you good luck and some good team-mates :D Try to have fun because that is the purpose of each video game to entertain you and yes i know it is extremely hard to do it when you are losing but try to laugh at their silly mistakes mute them put on some relaxing music :D

It's totally your fault that your bot went 0-12 Kappa.
