Four Placement Matches when I hit 30, Four Trolls, is this what I can look forward to in LoL?

I'm going into my 5th placement match after 4 losses due to someone on the team going haywire and ultimately griefing or intentionally feeding. Raging at their team and trying to get everyone to tilt. I have no doubt I'll be placed in the bottom of the league.

After this experience I have to say that placement matches in LoL are broken. Isn't everyone else in placements? I'd wait forever to get placed with other people who care.

Welp, just started my match and I got a Garen support with ignite... this should be good.

Yay, wonder if Smite or DOTA are any better cuz LoL is tragically overrun by trolls in ranked.

You didnt have troll in your Zyra game. Sure u had bad ADC but he wasnt trolling. He was dying under his turret. Playing bad and dying alot isnt same as trolling You didnt have troll in your Cait game. You just played against very good Lissandra You didnt have troll in your Corki game. You didnt have troll in your 1st Zyra game.

Only game u actually had weird pick was Garen support, and that guy wasnt dying on purpose, he probably just thought Garen will work. There werent any trolls in your game, your issue is you call everyone troll that plays bad or weird pick.

I think you have a very narrow definition of 'troll'. You seem to be talking about Champ Select trolls - yes, there was only one, the Garen support. What I'm talking about is for instance Lux Support decides that the ADC she's supporting sucks so she stops helping, starts buying damage items, leaves lane, never goes back, starts taking cs from other lanes, sits in the bushes at other lanes for HOURS waiting for a gank opportunity so gets way behind in gold and levels, still engages, dies. Whole team asking her to go back to her lane and play the role she picked in champ select, but she won't because... she trollin'.

That Lux part is not trolling. Thats what every support with brain does. As main support i can agree with that Lux. If u see your ADC is bad and he sucks, build offensive and ignore him. Its not trolling, trolling is term that includes Intentional feeding, assisting enemy team, building 5 boots, building AP on Riven, using Bard ulti to save opponent, using Tahm kench devour on ally and dropping him in enemy team, telling opponents where your jungler is. This is solo queue, u can rely on yourself. If you see your team is bad and you are support, just fuck it, farm and build AP/AD and try to carry game yourself.

Except that she left her struggling ADC then went on to feed every other lane on the map.

I've quit ranked entirely because of this reason. It just doesn't stop. For every good team, there's 10 bad teams you have to suffer through. It's alot better in norms

You may have been placed on the DNC list.

Welp, 5 matches, 5 trolls. The Garen of course trolled, didn't buy support items, just spun randomly into 1v5s and yay game over.

Do you want to learn how to curse in Russian? If yes, then they are better.

You're not wrong, but consider if a fresh Lv. 30 player is ready for ranked.

Smite and Dota 2 are both clunky as fuck imo.. in Smite if a player gets one kill on a certain champion then the minimal lead causes them to deal 3/4 of your health with one ability. That being said, there are so many broken ass champs in that game and the ones with fun kits are weak or are shoehorned into buying only one exact build to be viable.

In Dota 2, if a player or 2 players win lane then their maxed lead causes them to become near unkillable and if they continue getting kills then they can constantly 1v5 you and your squad..

Does that sound fun to you? Either getting totally facerolled or qwertyuiop'ing people to death with a key and a click? Latter sounds fun but it happens so often that having a huge lead loses its value.

The balance in both these games is horrendous and the people who main them have an extremely skewed view of what balance really is in eco-PvP games.

If you want to go to one of those games and you like those playstyles, nobody is stopping you.
