There should be a change to ranked solo Q requirements

Due to the high amount of AFK/rage quit, toxic, and intentional feeders, there should be new requirements made to play ranked solo q. I suggest that players must be at least on a minimum of a Gold ranked 3 or 5 person team and have had enough active points on that team so that players couldn't just join a higher ranking team without having contributed to the rank they hold. Bronze and Silver solo q, the way it is now holds the worst experience any player can go through in this game and makes it almost pure luck to move up if you don't know enough people to group up with, and some people get carried to higher ranks that don't belong there from not having the skills needed to be there to begin with. I have seen for example, some Bronze and Silver players that have been better than some Gold and Plat but since they don't get the luck of getting enough players that don't become problems, they never get placed where they should belong or just takes them forever and deserve better than the hell they have to go through moving up. Being on a set Gold or higher team should mean the players have started to learn how to work as a team and the main do's and don'ts that it takes to win and the quality of the matches should go up afterwards. No PvP will ever be perfect, but there can be ways to lessen the problems and make it more enjoyable and worthwhile to play. Finding the right nerfs and buffs on champs, keep dreaming, it will never happen in any multi player game PERIOD lol

solo Q doesn't exist yet.

Triggers: restrictions, unfair, the word "no", body types, mansplaining

I think ranked is too exclusive. It's not fair to people who aren't level 30 that they don't get to participate in the competitive side of League. As a community, we should strive to be more inclusive and tolerant of people of every elo and sexual orientation, not exclusive and homophobic. rito should remove the level requirement and keep the 16 champion requirement (only because less champions would risk someone with last pick getting completely picked out.. ideally they would just make all champions free to play if they wanted to be truly inclusive.. big business and corporate greed though, am I right?).

I wanna be like kirito the black swordman and solo for life instead of gaming as a team, guess I won't ever be able to do ranked.

You're raising the requirement to do ranked q to filter out the trolls, but you'd filter out poorly skilled lonewolves in the process.

An alternative suggestion I have is being strict with punishments. Riot's having difficulties identifying and dealing all those who violate terms because of sheer amount of them (and the way they're learning to get around the system), but the amount doesn't drop because they always come back to the community after temporary bans. They're aware of the terms, agreed to them, then broke them. I see no reason why first offense, assuming done intentionally, wouldn't result in perma ban. If these trolling accounts are deleted on the spot, it'd take these trolls a while before they get new accounts to lvl 30, and if they troll again there goes their accounts, discouraging them from returning. Even if they insist on coming back despite the effort required to grind, the period of time when they're busy grinding would make ranked more clean.

{quoted} rito should remove the level requirement...ideally they would just make all champions free to play

If that happens, smurfs and trolls would flood in ranked, and no one would play seriously in low division anymore.

  • You're trying to climb? Ha! We're gonna troll you and make you lose.
  • Report us? We'll just make new accounts and head back to ranked cuz no lvl requirement and all champs r free.
  • The other team's trolling harder than us so you're winning more often and climbing? It's k, you can climb all you want, but when you're in promos we'll let the other team know to make sure you lose.
