I keep getting people on my team in ranked games who say " Its just a game, I dont take it seriously" or " I dont give a sh*t if I win or not" or who flame you for asking them to try and work together as team and win. Yes it is a game, yes it is supposed to be fun. But if your version of fun is messing around, trying fun troll builds, and you dont care about winning, then please play normals . I comepletely understand not wanting to play competatively. But what I do not understand is ruining the fun for people who enjoy a healthy compeative game. That doesnt mean if my team is struggling to win lane or advance I get upset. What is upsetting is when you clearlty are intentionally treating a ranked game (that is designed to be competative and have you advance in ranks) like its a normal game. I would prefer a verbally toxic player who can still do well and teamwork over a non verbally toxic player who refuses to co operate. GET OUT OF RANKED if you want to play that way. And no League isnt my lifem, but when I and many others que for ranked its to enjoy ourselves and if you are intentionally ruining our chill time enjoyment then you need to GTFO.

I agree, its especially bad in flex que, you get people saying idgaf its flex que its worthless, or its just pre-season.

The preseaon argument has merit. It literally doesn't count. It's no excuse to troll but i find it a valid one to try different roles. People do play more seriously in general in ranked and its nice to see how effective you can be.

That may or may not (lean towards not) be true. Riot has had difficulty properly addressing this question, but in the post about the ranked flex "fix" it was articulated that there would be a "much softer" reset at the start of the next season and that wins/losses in preseason still impact placements.

People are talking about preseason as if it's going to get entirely waved away on day one of S7, but that has never been implied by Riot's communication.

but the pre-season does count, your mmr from the pre-season will be taken into account when they decide your placements rank, they said so in the intial post.

Pre season seems full of players that errantly think it doesn't count for anything. I'll just wait for the season I think.
