Once upon a time, Riot decided to veer from the path of maintaining a competitive atmosphere and quality gameplay in lieu of maintaining a safespace where people were allowed to (unintentionally, sometimes intentionally) ruin games by joining ranked freely and being unable to perform at standards that would even allow them to compete against beginner bots successfully.
Ohh look a person ranting about ranked..... and how everyone should play according to how they think it is... and what they think the requierments should be and how they should be able to react etc etc etc ....yawwwwwnnnnnn....
over 3 years of this ...and people wonder why I copy paste sooo
without further ado ...here is the copy paste for rank ranters...
First of all anyone is free to play any champ in any role with any strategy. Champ select is not trolling in any way at any time

Let’s re-iterate our stance from before:
Q: Can I get banned for choosing a champion or strategy that is outside the current meta?
A: 100% no. Choosing a champion or strategy outside of the current meta is not a factor we take into account when reviewing accounts. On any given day tens of thousands of players are making unusual picks in the game and they’ll never receive penalties in any form.
Please don't bring up singed or numu...what happened there at the very most was a EXCEPTION to the rule it does not in any way invalidate the above
No your quote but it another misconception of players joining solo que .....
it`s all about being a team and play as 5
If you go into solo que expecting that it will have the same cohesiveness and team play as a premade there is your problem right there ... here is why
That is one of the reasons mute is so good . People stress out too much over what everyone elese is doing instead doing .
Its actually quite common to even have to ping mute some pme because they are stressing out tooo much,
These are the _ACTUAL FACTS _of random que:
-
People will not have the same views as you
-
They will not take ranked as a serious as you. Some actually realize this is just a VIDEO GAME
-
Some people play ranked because its more worthwhile than normal I really could care less about rank "prestige" or "LP"
Example: some people play ranked because at the very least they get free skin and ward at the end ... do they get that playing normal ...nooo you get nothing, So why would they ?
I actually have fun win OR lose , even if there is a feeder or afk if we are getting stomped or doing the stomping and I ALWAYS vote no. I don't play ranked to listen to someone stress out like losing a game is the end of the universe . Its a video game the point is to HAVE FUN actually playing the game not just the outcome ..yes again even in ranked. Some time you win some times you lose LP constantly fluctuates so don't stress about it as long as you have fun you are always a winner.
-
There are legitimate toxic people who join games for the sole purpose of ruining it for others ( intentional feeders, afk, verbal abuse etc ) you cant get away from them. Its mind boggling some who choose to spend their time ruining other people games but there are some really immature uncivilized people in this world that will log on to do just that. You just have to assume your going to get one when you hit the solo que button and prepare for it . If you don't its a bonus,
-
Riot does not enforce Meta or champ " roles" or strategy in any mode at any level.
-
There is no "unskilled" if you don't like how someone is playing its is up to YOU to leave solo que not anyone else ,
-
Riot themselves have stated that no one would ever be punished for non meta non role champ choice.
That means anyone is free to play any champ in any role at any time that is NOT being a troll breaking the summoners code,
-
you are also allowed to play " 1st time champs" in ranked as well.
-
Also there is no refusing to communicate - so someone who doesn't listen to you is not being a troll either . No one will be punished for muting the team and not speaking in chat so if you think you can report someone for refusing to communicate your wrong. they are NOT doing anything breaking the summoners code or riots rules either
Riot Tantram (NA) - 2 years ago
A report flags a game for review. They do not establish guilt. The game is then reviewed for harassment, feeding, etc. This is why 'troll reporting' or 'gang reporting' do not work. False or inaccurate reports are thrown out.
You cannot ever be punished for saying nothing . unless of course it's for something gameplay related like feeding, afking or cheating. But, you can never be punished for offensive language, hate speech or verbal abuse if you said nothing.

You can mute me, I cant remove you from the game. Whos the real toxic one?
Actually you can remove them form YOUR game by stopping to play in solo que and just playing with premades.
Seriously if you can't handle all those factors and you keep joining solo que you and your own choices are the problem so stop trying to shift the blame for YOUR displeasure on to other people when you keep choosing to play with random people
In other words...
- If you want a "serious team"
- if you want team that plays like their lives depend on it .
- If you want to play meta
- if you want to have a coordinated team that communicates the way a pre made or pro team does.
here is the simple solution
stop playing with random people if it s stressing you out and jsut play with a premade team you "know will play to your standard and with your views on the game" in.. There is a premade option for a reason.
*Solo que Ranked ( or any mode for that matter)
is great if your definition of "fun" does not rest on the status or out come of the game but the enjoyment of simply "playing" the game regardless of what is happening during it.
If you can have fun during a game regardless if there are afk's or intentional feeders then they lose all power, winning is great everyone likes winning also if you have fun during the game the losses are still enjoyable.
( again ....no "fun" is not restricted to just normal.... anyone can join any solo que for any reason)
Simply put Some players simply play ranked not because they care about "ranked prestige" but because it is more "profitable" than playing normal.... for example would someone get a champ / ward skin from playing normal all year ...no ...they would get nothing but the "normal rewards" you get form playing any match.
so solo que is a good "fit " for that type of player
Now on the other hand if a player is taking the game to the epic level of seriousness making the outcome of the game , your rank your lp your ONLY source of enjoyment.
If you take that type of player and then they willingly and intentionally join a match with random people
You are basically spinning a roulette wheel
On that wheel are
- "serious people " like above
- legitimate jerks and thinking of ways they are going to intentionally destroy the match,
- People that may not take game as seriously as you
- People who just want to rage and verbally abuse peole for fun
- a legitimate "bad player" ( the not reportable kind)
- there are probably more player type examples as well
Now if you take that and look at probability factors
The chances of the "serious player" getting 4 other "serious people " is very low
and
The probability of getting "bad people" something simply "going wrong"
or even something that you simply wont like
Is higher than the probability of getting 4 other serious people
So knowing those odds why would anyone taking taking the game to that level of seriousness be surprised when you spin the wheel and lose and things don't turn out they way they think they should?
So really taking all of this into account if you REALLY want to talk about player responsibility it up to each individual player to choose the option that is the best fit for them.
