Tried to play ranked again....

All I got was trolls in the lobby telling me to leave if I don't like it, so I left. I was in the pick and ban phase, banning people. I ban blitz and this dude just blows up on me. I call support soon after, I'm first pick and he's second. I pick Janna going in blind, feeling she's probably the safest support and all around best for most ADCs. He picks morg and says he'll follow me around and annoy me, so to not get irritated and banned in game for saying something stupid, I just leave the lobby. Is this really what ranked is all about now? I won't even play ranked any more in fear of getting people like that. I already suffer from extreme social anxiety as well as paranoia issues. This has ruined me, I skipped season 3 and 4 because I had terrible experiences in season 2, it took me almost 2 years to get over this fear and now it seems to have not let up. I probably won't ever touch ranked again :(

Survival of the fittest, if you can't even play a video game without having "anxiety", how would you function in society? What would happen to you in 1050 AD?, man, vikings would have a field day with you :(

Consider joining the military, they'll make a honest man, or woman out of you.

I don't say this to be crass, but seriously, put your big boy pants on, you don't need to be afraid.

I hate people too. But I love pubstomping. Accept a loss here and there. and don't play ranked because ranked is where you get all the trolls for some reason. I hope you too will enjoy your League of Legends experience.

I'm giving it about a month to play ranked. Given S5 just started, it will be full of nothing but trolls and children trying to get placements done, etc... People are going to troll because they feel superior via the internet. I know it's hard, I have some same issues, but in those situations, the mute button is your best friend. Nothing annoys trolls more than being ignored. Where riot says only 5% of their players are toxic, I seem to get at least 2 in every match. I know saying "don't let them get to you" is easier said than done. Again, ignorance is your best friend. Dodging in champ select will hinder your ranking. Sorry you have to deal with this crappy experience. :( Sadly in the world of MOBA/MMORPGs, this exists everywhere.

I totally understand you man. I gave up on ranked. It's a total waste of time for me. Not worth the anger and the frustration. Specially those "diamond alt, let me mid", that ends up feeding during the game. I rather just play normals and take it easy. Don't pressure yourself to play ranked. Doesn't matter, just have fun :)
