Punished By Other Players

Why is there no balance for ranked games when people either: Don't care and DC/AFK? DC/AFK because of bad internet or bad PCs? Get mad and DC/AFK? .... I'm actually pretty much done with having to lose and constantly be in a forever bounce between B4 and B5 because of this reason. Why do I have to be punished because someone can't just play or stay connected to a game? ... This game is actually really enjoyable and fun and something I wnat to do but I can't take the fact that I am constantly held back because of other people that decide that they can't play or don't have good resources to stay connected to the game long enough to play.

It's simple, really- They can't test any new solutions, or come up with new solutions that won't raise toxicity.

DC's and AFK's don't matter that much until you are against opponents that can and will abuse your lack of another player. Bronze players just aren't going to do that, and you should still be able to climb if you're good. I've carried plenty of games like this on my smurf when my mmr was still low. Focus on getting better and worry less about your teammates.

1.) Do you understand why people don't care, if you are like me and you have played like over 1000 + Games you realise at champion selection ( I JUST DON'T GIVE A F*** Anymore?) Why the reason I have behind this feeling is the simple fact no one takes champion selection seriously except higher ELO, or Pre-Made professional teams where it be LCS or a group of teams trying to be as professional as possible.

2.) AFK's / DC's are a problem I encounter them but sometimes not as often as people claim.

3.) I Do agree the game needs improvements when it comes to match-making and other players dragging them down, for example in a MOBA it doesn't matter if I start out 5-0 in a lane where it be DOTA 2, or League, even Smite what matters is the fact players had no idea what the hell they are doing in champion selection, When to go into fights, or how to even play its a huge frigging problem..

. You can't call it out because you get reported and banned for toxic. . You can't call it out because players argue and what you said just starts toxicity (Ex. Would have been better if you took X champion from the beginning we would be winning this match.)

So it comes down to just (Shut the hell up) and lose the game move on to the next game, and repeat until (RNG) (Random Number Generator) you make it up out of bronze because all the players you played against (Suck) and or have the same problem with bad players, afk's or DC's.

4.) IN the end it doesn't feel like a competitive game anymore but rather based around.

. Champions . Who screws up first . No fun anymore because of Idiots, AFK's, Trolls to have fun you have to go play (Over Watch) or some other moba.

Over all the only reason of playing League is to try to advance and some people just give up?

If it makes you feel any better, it sounds like testing is going to start soon for a remake feature on the PBE, which allows you to early surrender if a player never connected and no kills have occurred yet in game. Remember, the PBE is a place to test new things, and not everything makes it to live servers, though if it go through we can probably expect it in 6.10 or 6.11.

One of my favorite things to do is shit pick and tilt my team. Then I proceed to play really well and give my team issues with cognitive dissonance.
