Ranked bans need to become a thing

Yenn··5 votes·560 views

Really getting tired of encountering anti-competitive behavior in the vast majority of my ranked games.

If anyone isn't playing to win, or goes into a game with the attitude that they aren't going to win and keep spamming it all game, they need to be removed from ranked, period.

Clean ranked up. This is way over due. Let players who aren't trying their best to win stick to normals.

Nope. You'd make other game modes full of toxic players. Basically a prisoners island.

What keeps someone from hopping onto a smurf and heading right into ranked?

And make normal games a cesspool of toxic waste like the last time riot tried ranked restrictions? No thanks.

So it makes more sense for the competitive game mode to be a cesspool of toxic waste, as it already is, with the bonus of fucking over everyone who encounters these players' MMR? No thanks.

If they are toxic in normals too many times, limit them to pve or ban completely. I mean actually toxic too. People today cry "toxic" whenever you say anything critical of them. Like if you are pushing alone with no vision and no backup anywhere nearby and there are probably enemies nearby and anyone on the enemy team (support included) can 1v1 you, you need to be told to back off and group up. If you ignore, it's not toxic to say that you are being stupid and need to group up. If I don't tell you you need to group and/or there is no reason for you to need to group and I call you stupid (not you are being stupid), then that would be toxic. However 90% of the community doesn't understand there is a difference and that the former is not toxic and the person deserves to hear it. It is like someone yelling "get back" when a person walks too close to the edge of an unstable cliff. They are trying to help even though it may seem harsh at the time. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Why not just ban them on the first punishment instead of banishing them to normals?

I understand the "Not playing to win." But when I play ....yes to try to win. But there isn't a 100% chance of me winning, so I keep trying my best. Playing to do my best. Doesn't that count as being bannable?

I'm pretty certain anti-competitive attitudes are a reportable offence to begin with.

Give them a chance in normals. If they continue to be toxic, remove them from the game or force them to do pve or custom only or something. Yeah I get sick of these people too. Like a bot lane that goes combined 8/4/7 in laning phase, but the support says he's going to bed and keeps spamming surrender vote and calling the game hopeless. Or the "this is my smurf account". "I'm really plat 4, and I can't carry you turd maggots". (as they lose lane while you are being camped by the enemy jungler and roamed on by the mid they fed, yet you have a better kda than them and more farm). Or the, person who has to leave 20 min into game, so you have to win "like right now" or else you will be 4v5. Or the person who dies 2 times in lane, decides game is over, sits in base pouting for 2-25 min because you didn't gank for them, then randomly comes back and plays. Or follows you around in jungle just stealing your camps because they died 3 times by the time you cleared your jungle and ganked another lane for a kill. And you didn't gank for them. Or... you get the idea.

What you describe are both bannable (not playing to win, and having an attitude that is giving up).

What's not bannable is a person being bad and not playing well.

Everyone in Diamond knows this isn't true. You see the same people behaving like this over and over, for months at a time, so they clearly aren't being punished.
