Ranked Leagues (Fixed and Appreciable)

Hi Everybody, I am Cok Jap, or more recently known as Cody Maverick. As a League player for over 6 years now, I have to say that I am most upset about these 3 things in random order following...

  1. Rude people
  2. Ranked
  3. Friends

As I have progressed and evolved in the Game of LoL I realized that the **toxicity ** of this game has gone way too far for any good means. Seriously its just bad. I don't want to make this a rant saying people are bad mouthed and inconsiderate. Everybody has a bad day, and deep down everybody just wants to be loved and accepted (and on top of that have fun, What would be the point of anything without fun?). It is upsetting to be known as a "bronze" or "silver" player when I show up to a gaming center and people ask me what rank I am and I say im bronze 5; While all the platinum and diamond people stare and laugh at me like I have no idea how to play this game(which I am still learning after 6 years). It is a lost concept to say that we should be kind to each other at all times, Especially when your online with complete strangers out of the dark. Who knows If the person you just played with lived 5 blocks down the road from you as a child. Nobody knows. I have made friends from IRL who play this game and I never get to see them online anymore, and it breaks my heart because our only connection was this game, and I figured that they probably quit due to the toxicity of this game. And Now I have to stare at a gray portrait where there green colorful name used to show. I have seen every person who got me into this game quit in the last 2 years. That is four people total. One of them being my brother, who refused to ever touch this game again. Not even if I paid him as a job to play this game. That hurt a lot to know I wont play one of the coolest games ever again with my brother who introduced me to one of the most beautiful MOBA's around. I would die to play LoL with him nowa days. How ever, Things are not what they were in 2009. Things are not what the were in 2012, 2014,2016, and today 2018, Things are not what they were.

I think that something should change, something Could Change. I think that the rank system is so illiterate and disproportionate. I think that trying to define somebody as bronze, silver, gold, plat, diamond, master, or challenger is wrong. Id be wrongfully right if I said that my brother Lucent Nargacuga Deserved to be atleast the littlest master, or even Challenger. It is the man who brought me into every video game I ever played. Anywho, hes somehow in silver tier, And quit due to being noticed as a "silver" player, when I know this guy could be one of the best Period

What I am saying is we need to fix the ranked system to better coordinate the players. Why not have Bronze Rank be something like Pluto League? Or Challenger Rank be something like Sun League? And so on. Why not set people apart in ways that better put us apart than together. Why not let the rude loud moth people stay on Earth league. Why not put the super hard carry types in the Milky way League? Maybe even a Halo League for all the players who are just life saviors. Rank them a halo. Why not. Dont give them a crappy silver or bronze, What does that even say? It is a game over millions of people. And I think Ide be a lot happier playing in a Volcano rank league, being ready to blow up into sun league. Rather than being in a Bronze league, ready to blow up in a silver league.

Sadly, I am cutting my concerns short, but prompt. I think that the ranking system needs to go. I am almost certain i wont rank this season because I dont want to be classed as "bronzie Silver" and I would find it much more fun to just ignore the competitive play and just have a good inoculate laugh. I am sorry to anybody who also has gone through the breakups of friends quitting, who deserved so much more respect, and honor. I want to redeem not only them but our community all around.

Thanks! Cok Jap.

Okay, listen, if we removed ranks and even mmr, games would be more hell then they are. Including normals.

You'd get people who are in fact bronze 5 in games with and against people who are indeed Challenger. You then get... 10 minute games because the bronze 5 gets so hard stomped by the challenger that they've lost all towers by minute 3, complained by minute 5, afk'd by minute 6, and then the entire enemy team is knocking on your nexus towers by minute 9 because the challenger mid laner got so fed off minions and the bronze mid laner that no one can do anything.

And this is from someone who's been unranked for a few years, but ends up with plats and diamonds in normal games. I have to be careful if I que with anyone below gold since they tend to end up with plats and diamonds as well. And no, they don't have fun, because they usually get really hard stomped by a player that they have admitted was playing better than them.

There's nothing saying you have to play ranked. Most people don't, in fact.
