Is it just me or are people who say "Well since you picked mid before me I guess we're duoing mid" the biggest f*****s in ranked?
That's like saying:
"I didn't actually want to win I just wanted to play mid, and since I can't I'll make us lose"
In which case, why not go play *** normal...
This is the cancer that Riot is claiming to try to keep down in the bottom pits of ELO rankings, so that they dont stay locked at tier Vs of any division ruining your games. Hopefully their new method of that works
It will never work.
Poor attitude isn't synonym of being bad. Good attitude isn't synonym of being good. Doing this here and there isn't synonym of negative w/l, or even of a wanted loss. Chances are that the very people that are cancer are higher ranked than you and are actually better at the game, they actually can afford to be *** whenever they want to, they'll just bounce back. The only difference between an *** in Gold and an *** in Bronze XII isn't that one is more of an *** than the other, one is simply better than the other.
This is one of the first things you learn when you play massively competitive games online (such as War/Starcraft, Counter Strike, MOBAs and so on): the *** are very rarely the worst around.
It hurts, it's painful to admit it, but it's the sad truth.
I'm not sure if Rito published numbers but I'd bet a pizza and some chicken poppers that the people targeted by their new league system are an insanely tiny minority (not people being cancer because they can afford it, but people who are actually one full tier below their actual league).
