Solutions for Trolls in Ranked

Hello,

I haven't been playing LOL as long as most of you and like most of you I've developed a love/hate experience with the game. Don't misunderstand, I very much appreciate the work and creativity that Riot continuously puts into LOL. Its amazing. Anyone who cares about increasing their ranking has experienced problems with other players sinking their chances (Trolls). I understand that people play inconsistently and have bad games from time to time. And I know that a lot you pros out there are saying " get good enough to carry " but I would say two things in regards to that. First is 1 or 2 players feeding is almost impossible to carry if the other team is doing well and the second is, its difficult to get better when your playing with and against low level players. Playing against a fed unbalanced opponent doesn't seem to be the best way to get better it just makes the game really frustrating. I think a reasonable solution is to create an Aluminum Rank. Hear me out... If a player in iron feeds 3 games (0/9/1 or something similar) in a row they get put in Aluminum Rank. Once in Aluminum Rank they can promote themselves out as usual or something along those lines. You could extend it out to silver and gold but I dont think players in that rank would have games like that anymore. Idk whatever makes sense. I know that you can report players for intentionally feeding but that hasn't solved this and it doesn't quite fit the issue. I think some form of a penalty would definitely alleviate this issue for a lot of people who are serious about their ranking.

If anyone agrees or agrees something needs to be done, let us know your idea or participate in the poll.

I think the fact that you, or anyone in fact, that is not a new player that only plays bots or has some sort of disability, has some severe problems if you are queued up with and against Iron players.

Also, it is indeed easy to get out of iron assuming that you actually are better than iron players, meaning that you never become a liability to your team by afk'ing, trolling or heavily feeding, since excluding yourself, there are 4 players on your team that could potentially ruin your team's odds of winning, whilst on the enemy team there are 5 that could do so, meaning that there is a 25% higher chance of the enemy team losing due to horrible teammates, hence there is no excuse for 'I can't get out of Iron after 100 games' unless you actually have some sort of disability, and even if you are disabled it isn't impossible to get out of Iron. In fact, there are people with only one hand that reach diamond.

Going 0/9 isn't intentionally feeding.

Having a string of bad games isn't trolling.

The problem isn't "trolls" it's assholes who harass people trying to play the game, even if they aren't playing particularly well.

It's just a game, don't get bent out of shape because someone is learning.
