How to deal with... Jerks in ranked?
Like the guys that mock you and deliberately take your lane that you asked politely for, till your stuck in your worst position. How do you handle it?

If he was picking before you, Riot's policy is that he is in his right to take whatever position is left even if you "called" it, however politely.
If he's being a deliberate jerk in game, I either ignore them or act overly nice to them (especially rude ADCs as a support main). Oddly enough being overly nice often calms them down.
mute all, i love this game since i mute all
Be the bigger person and let it go. Play the game to your best possibly ability and show them that you are better than them through your actions not words.
While that may sound noble, what I am realy trying to say is just dont talk to them except for like shot calling and whatnot. If they rage at you or whatever, ignore them and when you get in game mute them. Dont rage yourself and pick your role any way. Just play whats left and do your best.
My worst role is top lane, I have like a 30% winrate there. Normally I will win my lane and have more pressure than my opponent though. I still lose the game. Call it bad luck, but honestly it is probably because the people that I can win lane with are not very good in solo que. I recognize this and try to avoid top, but sometimes I am still forced to go there. I dont complain or rage because truthfully, its ranked, I should at the very least be able to not suck no matter what role I get. Be confident in your ability to not suck.
And if your worst role is support, learn it. You will be stuck there a lot. It just happens.
I look-up the stats via Elophant. I proceed if they turn out to be decent at the role, even if I called for said role, otherwise I will likely just queue-dodge if they're clearly likely to feed due to being either still in or fresh out of provisionals with a very low W/L-ratio. I let it slide if they have a positive W/L-ratio & hope for the best as I proceed to try & support the team as best as I can through filling which-ever role is needed (besides jungle since I don't jungle & not a jungler but nearly every match has someone who can jungle anyway).
