Issues with bronze league

waylonse·11/30/2015, 11:58:13 PM·1 votes·1,211 views

I recently got a chat restriction because I got pretty irritated and went off on some people. I said some pretty mean things in the moment, however I still dont understand how these people who continuously manage to play with such negative scores and literally fight their own team and refuse to do anything strategic or helpful or even that makes sense don't recieve any negative repercussions. I am not the greatest player but when I can get 4 other people that dont feed 3-5 kills in 10 minutes I can generally win the match. So i got mad and yeah toxic means you lose, but when the last player on your team instalocks yasuo and you need a support, or you have a leesin diving lanes for ganks at 10% every time and dying what else do you do? I am frustrated at being punished for trying to vent at some really choice examples of bad players.

TLDR, my question is why isnt there a sandbox league for people who just cannot do anything close to actually play league intelligently?

Because being bad is part of the game. It cant be against rules. Their negative repercussion is being in bronze. Thats how ladder system works, Whats the point of giving other punishment? Being in bronze is enough punishment.

If you want punishments for being bad, how would u punish yourself?

The people who you play with are just as good as you are.

If it seems like they are worse, it is because they are worse than you at the things you're good at. But at the same time, they are better than you at things you don't even think about.

There are levels below Bronze. MMR doesn't have a bottom; it just keeps going down and down. I've seen games where people have an estimated MMR of less than 100. If we took the worst player on your team from one of your recent games, and put them on a 100 MMR account, you know what would happen? They would dominate. Almost every game would be an easy win, regardless of how their teammates did. Then as they rose up to around the normal bottom of Bronze V MMR, wins would be frequent, but not nearly guaranteed. Then around the top of Bronze V MMR, they would be winning a little more often than they lose. Then as they got back to Bronze IV MMR, they'd be back to 50/50 wins.

The reason that they belong in games with you is because that's where they win 50% of their games, and it's the same place that you win 50% of your games. Therefore it's the place where both they and you belong (for now).

I got placed into bronze V at the start of season 5 and climbed to gold V with pretty nuch just my precious Azir . In ANY RANK I went up a lot faster when I never flamed,EVER. Even if they do bad at first, give nothing but support, and you will find that often, your team makes a comeback.

But they do suffer repercussions, they get stuck in bronze.
