Ranked is less about playing the game

and more about catering to the individual needs of your 4 toddler teammates. Seriously, I haven't had a game yet today where at least one %%%% hasn't screamed some form of 'GG REPORT THIS GUY BECAUSE HE GAVE FIRST BLOOD AND NOW THE GAME IS CLEARLY OVER EVEN THOUGH IT'S ONLY BEEN 5 MINUTES INTO THE GAME' followed by a very angry 'WTF NOOB, REPORTED AND IGNORED' But then you know what happens? They clearly don't put the other person on ignore because they then have a 15 minute ragefest where they just shout obscenities at each other and their respective mothers, usually in all chat for the rest of the game. Meanwhile I've now gotta play peacekeeper because I want to win the goddamn game and unfortunately I can't do it all by myself.

This game doesn't suck, but the people that play it sure do.

I think if there's somebody who's that extreme then it's not worth trying to work it out with them. Mute them and save yourself from getting tilted by negative talk. If it's something small then it's possible to convince them to calm down but otherwise it's not worth it. Work with the teammates you can and trust that they'll still be doing something.
