Ranked trolls

Why are there so many trolls in ranked? I feel lucky if I even get a single game without an afk, intentional feeder, or someone griefing because they didn't get what they wanted in champ select. The last game I played we had mid who threw a temper tantrum because someone banned Jhin and he wanted to play him mid. He proceeded to pick Singed and ran around the map all game, stopping only to try to throw Diana or Riven at our Mid or ADC-- all the while spamming "TROLOLOLOLOL!" in chat log, flaming the whole team with offensive language, and announcing how many blunts he had smoked and how high he was. My team almost won in spite of him but its frustrating when you actually get good teammates all except for one bad apple. It's really frustrating trying to grind out of bronze when this kind of stuff happens more often than not.

I don't mind losing but it is frustrating that my ability to escape bronze is solely dependent on getting enough games at the right time where I don't get afk's or deliberately toxic teammates. A team shouldn't lose LP if it is clearly evident that someone on the team deliberately sabotaged the game. Not that I expect anything to be done-- because it won't, but I just want to vent because it is hard to improve my play or enjoy the game when this kind of behavior is the norm and not the exception.

"The last game I played we had mid who threw a temper tantrum because someone banned Jhin and he wanted to play him mid."

And that's EXACTLY why you ban Jhin every single ranked game for the next month.

Trolls are like the people who go to those "the newest console has arrived" store events, buy a new console, and smash it infront of other people. They have too much time on their hands and dont know how to leave a positive impact on the people around them, so lash out negatively.

I don't understand why MMR is the only factor for creating matches. It is so easy to identify trolls, afk-ers, and separate groups should be created for them. A troll should only play with other trolls, and never ruin the game of others. Also, there should be groups for serious players, common players, etc. Player feedback should be treated accordingly. If a serious player call somebody a troll that is more likely true than a troll calls someone else a troll.

I played Jhin first time ever in ranked as JUNGLE. Never played Jhin before but seeing that the draft phase was trolling and banned me from playing Riven jungle who is a beast, I went Jhin. I went 5-9-8 or 5-9-12 that game as jungle Jhin.

We had a first time Karthus too cause he figured he'd troll too, but we ended up winning the match lol... So I sit at a 100% win rate in ranked. I was going to Jhin again but more seriously and this time in mid for my 2nd time playing Jhin ever, but ranked went down, and so I went to normal draft and picked Jhin mid.... We won that game but I did more terrible lol...

DO NOT PLAY JHIN JUNGLE.

In fact, don't even pick him at all. There are better midders, adc's to be playing ranked with. While we're at it, ban bard from being played because I always consider Bard in rank a troll pick. Playing Bard in rank is the equivalent of playing a champ first time in rank. I'm sorry but there is better supports than Bard. Morgana, Alistar, Malphite, Blitz, Thresh, Annie, Brand, and a ton of others. Heck, take Ekko if need be, anything but bard...

Anyhow, Jhin is not a jungler, and he's not that impressive.
