Ranked Players are the Worst

Ranked is something I play when I don't really have anything to do, and it's fun when playing with a friend, but some people just.. are so, toxic! I started b4 this season because of how I haven't really been playing and the last time I played I was a really low rank bronze, and I climbed all the way up to S2 no problem, and lost my first series to go to S1. I thought it wasn't much of a problem, and when I got into my next series, everything went downhill. I lost that series because of how I had 3 consecutive games with afk's, people that are super negative and say "gg" at 6 mins. after enemy team gets first blood, people that blame others for their deaths, etc. It's pretty bad. Along the way to the derank, where I am now, S4, I've seen so many people. I've seen an Ori that never ulted when Leo had a good engage and when everyone was bunched up, and also in that same game a Garen that always kept going in and kept dying. Ori was super toxic and blamed everyone for the loss, and garen kept telling us that we were too much of a pussy to go in when the other team was ahead and we didn't have any vision.

I've also seen so many inters that purposely wanted the team to lose. They run down mid, give laners the kills, an let them open, and they try to tilt others by saying "OMG YOU'RE SO BAD" to the people that are trying.

Ranked is so stressful, and so hard to get to Gold. My winrate dropped so bad, and I used to have a 56% winrate, and it now dropped to about 50-51%. It's sad that there are many people that give up and afk at like 6 minutes, or stop inting.

Riot, please do something about these afkers and inters, and give them a harder punishment. Same with the toxic players.

Also, if there's any S4+ support that would like to queue up with me, I'm open. I am an adc main and would love to duo with someone positive.

Yeah ranked is a fickle bitch. You go through streaks, and after your win streak up to s1 or s2, it was time to knock ya back down. Happens every season or every couple months. If you wanna get to gold and you're a pretty average player (like me), it becomes more about grinding. You just gotta keep going and playing through those streaks. I always get up to s1 or s2 and then go on a shit streak back to s4 or so. It's only a matter of time after getting good games with no trolls or flamers that you're gonna run back into them. So just keep improving on yourself and don't even let blame go through your mind, or at least recognize that you can still improve regardless of how many trolls and feeders ruin your games, if you can't help but blame others for your rank. Feel free to add me, I main mid but I used to main support and I'll play it if it means one less chance of having a troll on my team. I play super late though so we will see if we're ever online at the same time.

I say they take it easy on the LP loss when a team has someone AFK
