The Root of toxicity in this game

If you want to reduce the negativity in this game, punish people for trolling. I could literally main akali support with a .56 kda and a 20% winrate and that would be 100% okay for me to do, but id lose the same 20ish lp for tanking a game 2-13 as the try hard zed who almost carried the game at 18-3. you might be thinking the scenario im describing is extreme, and it is, but id say its a lot more common than most people would believe. Now if that zed lost his promos off that aforementioned hypothetical game, hes is out 2-3 hours of wins and probably another 1-2 to get back where he was. In what world is it fair that I could do what im saying and not get punished?

The alternative is to reward to deduct points based on individual performance in each game? went 14-4 with 5 towers killed in a loss? have -8 instead of -21. went 1-5-3 on adc with the least amount of dmg to objectives on your team? here +14 instead of +20. This wouldn't fix the issue of all the people who dont give a shit who play ranked anyway, but it would atleast take the bite off the people who are actually there to try and win games. Or maybe if someone dips below a certain winrate that is too low, they be required to raise it in normals? I can imagine a sea of soraka mids crying out "NOOO" to that idea, way to elitest of me to even suggest. As for me, I just uninstalled the game, Im completely burnt out on people doing what they want. I understand that it is a game, but ranked should be where you have to get a bit more serious about your picks. Ranked in league is basically as LFR is to WoW, a few people who care trying to carry a bunch of people who could not give a shit less. The sad part is that I very much enjoy almost every other aspect of this game, love the meta, love thinking about how a lane will play out and jungle tactics involving counter jungle plays and the LCS. Much like being a Falcons' fan though, it absolutely does not pay off.

that system is completely unfair in many games

some times it not the adc fault he had low damage and score sometimes its the support or jungler fault because enemy supp/jungler was better/camping

also if a mid laner get babyset by his jungler premade and got 14-0 but then throw in a team fight by not working with the team should lose as much lp as everyone else if not more even tho he is 14-1 while a mid laner who go 0-14 for being camped by enemy jg but somehow catch up and manage to do something like stealing baron or shut down a big target or simple doing a good ulti he should be reworded as much as everyone else for doing something in a hard game.

same goes for other roles you can have a very hard game because of outside reasons (be it being focused/countered/auto filled) and comback while it can also be the other way around (like getting baby set/countered the enemy/fought an auto fill enemy) but still fuck up later on.

I don't know if it would reduce the negativity in the game but I like the idea of each individual performance having some sort of impact on climbing/dropping.

The part you're so close to understanding is that it really is ok to main support Akali regardless of your win rate, if that is what you are trying to work on and/or enjoy.
