I am never touching this game again..

[Thug Life]

I actually like the game itself. It is pretty well balanced for the most part, and i love the competitive aspect of it. But there is one thing that completely grinds my gears about this game. The community. It is literally dog-crap. It being a free game, it attracts so many morons and griefers it is unbelievable. I can't get past 1400 for the sole reason of other people. No, i am not saying i am a god at the game or anything, but i know how to play it well and i do my job. The ranking system is completely retarded too for the most part. Its as if you que up for a random battleground on WoW, and they say GL, hope you don't the idiots and put a rank on it.

I know MMO-Champion isn't a therapist but i just had to vent that

[Rampant Rabbit]

There's a special thread designated for shit like this.

We all know the community is awful. No need to open a whole new thread about it.

[Deleted]

Well, try to get some friends to play with you, trust me it really helps!

[Deleted]

try to get some friends

Made my day!

But on topic, I just ignore the community /delete the chat box and play the game. And so what if u cant get higher in ELO, you know you are better than what it tells but there is retards holding your back!

[Deleted]

I'll take your account ^^

[Deleted]

But i can only agree with you, the LOL community is very immature and sucky

[SteelerD24]

i now refuse to ever play the game without at least 4 people before i queue. But yeah the game is great otherwise. when i'm bored and by myself i play custom and try out new champs i haven't played.

I hate being the one, but someone has to say it, if you are good you wont be stuck in low elo, if you are good enough eventually you will get higher in elo...

When 3/5 games has an afker or a troll or an intentional feeder, theres shit all you can do.

Trust me, I've gone 17-1 before, and still lost. There's nothing you can do when someone is intentionally feeding or troll picks eve. And not much you can do in a 5v4 lategame either. You can only carry so hard, especially when you consider that the easiest role to carry from (mid) is always instalocked by the first pick, who then goes on to feed 90% of the time.

My argument still stands, there are lots of cases of low elo players getting to higher elo, but no documented case of good players being stuck in low elo. The only thing you can change to get higher elo is your own gameplay. Blaming others is always easy, accepting your own mistakes is not, just because you went 17-1 doesn't mean you did the best you can do to support your team and help winning as a team.

Yes but you get my point. Climbing out is a bitch if you dont have a huge amount of time because at most your winrate will be something like 51%, because of the aforementioned trolls/intent feeders/afkers. Theres a fuckton of them, and Im sorry but when someone on your team is 0-21 cus 'Running into them is funneh', the game is over.

Yeah, if you really are that low the only way to get out is to play a ton of games, you will eventually improve your gameplay and you will eventually get higher.

You could have the best gameplay in the world, if someone is intentionally feeding even Theoddone would have trouble carrying that game.

As I said over the course of the lots of games you will have to play, eventually you will get higher, this will not happen in 10 or 20 games of course. Just keep in mind, you can only have 4 bad players in your team, the enemy team can consist of 5 bad players.

I always ignore every player at the beginning of the game, no problems

The other team should also have leavers and trolls, in the grand scheme of things this should balance out with the problems you are having trying to get higher ELO

[Repefe]

Being resistant to trolling is the name of the game. It's kind of the base for every pvp in every game.

I hope you are never on my team. Such woeful ignorance, why do you even play this game...

If your WL ratio is up, you will go up. Getting trolls will only slow that down. It will not *keep* you there.

Exactly. It slows it down so much that you need to play a huge amount of games and it becomes a time>skill based system, which is always bad.
