I am so tired of always getting screwed in ranked matches by afk and people trolling. It literally makes it impossible to move up. I think that you should not lose as many points when you lose because of another player leaving. This seems totally unfair in my opinion. FIGURE IT OUT PLEASE THIS #@$% SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you.
There is a solution though. If you do a 5 man Dynamic Queue premade, by picking the right people, you will never have an AFK or a troll ever again. Yes, it can be hard to find 5 people and yes you might have to make sacrifices, but a 5 man premade with reliable people guarantees no trolls and no AFK's.
I had something like a 70% winrate with my premade.
Bronze is actually a super fun elo
Bronze is the funnest ELO to me. You can hypercarry as support and rage everyone, do whatever you want and win.
I wish I had a Bronze smurf to play
I used to think the same way as you.
On my old account I was always stuck between Bronze 1 and Silver 5. I always blamed my team because theyd feed over and over, or would afk.
I went to my second account, which went back to unranked because i didnt play it for months. 1 month later I made it to gold 4. I then went back to my main account that was Bronze V 0 LP, and now, after only 1 month I made it to gold V on that account as well.
Its not about your team, its about how you play (in low elo). Once you get higher and higher in elo, thats when feeders/afkers are a problem. Because now they have players just like you, who know how to carry with their lead/advantage. Bronze players and Silver players both do a lot of wrong things. They dont farm good, they dont know how to trade correctly, they dont main 1 champion but instead switch between different champions every game not knowing its limits, and they dont group. Learning how to play correctly in low elo means you can win easily with just 3 people. Heck I usually made them surrender on my own by just pushing my lane to their inhib (top lane). Easy stuff low elo.
You might have been placed on the DNC List like me. Have you made any recent posts challenging Riot Orthodoxy? Or proposing an alternative build for a champion?
Don't waste your time with this game even if you hit Silver or Gold you'll encounter many of those trolls or afkers. They'll just waste your time and get away with it. Riot wont even bother punishing them.
All you can do is keep a positive mindset. If lose, then keep playing again. I had my fair share of problems with these people both in normals and ranked. You will improve eventually. There is a reason why these afk and trolls will forever stuck in their elo, cos they will never improve with those behaviors.
Reducing the loss penalty for afk's can also be seen as rewarding players into harassing each other until someone quits. That's Riot's reasoning for not implementing this.
If you think Bronze is bad, just wait till you get to Silver, its as bad if not worse
