Typically I play draft normals, so I decided to see what the difference between it and ranked is.
Holy ****. Within the first 3 lines people were swearing at each other in allchat, and by the time I dodged 3 people had decided to feed. It was completely repulsive. It was like I was playing with a bunch of angry 6 year olds.
How can people tolerate this nonsense? Why would you do this to yourself for a number?

Yeah, it used to be a ton worse, and tribunal and honor tapered it down a lot. But, the basic issue here is --
1)People here self-identify as hardcore competitive gamers, especailly so if in ranked play.
2)A significant number of these then take their elo to be a reflection on their worth as a hardcore competitive gamer, and thus, themselves. While in the game, for a moment, elo is somewhat equivalent to 'self esteem level', before they chill out after the game and remember they also have other things in their life, like their girlfriend, the class they are going to fail if they don't study for afterwards, etc.
3)When they lose, they may blame this on their teammates, and get angry because it's not your elo you nerfed, it's THEM you nerfed. That's personal.
This will always be the case, but we think we can mitigate it a lot more moving forward between player behavior efforts and other efforts.
TLDR -- Ranked play is tryhard, emotions flare when tryharding.
Stopped reading here. Zileas is clearly out of touch with the try-hard nerd-rage portion of the community.
Anyone that concerned about the size of the League ePeen (measured by Elo) clearly does not have a girlfriend.
I don't think so. Those who play the most often are dating someone... Many LoL pros have girlfriends, and when I was a pro level starcraft player, I also had a girlfriend. When games became social in nature (not, Farmville social, but, 'let's go play counterstrike together' social), things started to change. Old incorrect stereotype is old and incorrect.
Although, the 1050 Elo guy that thinks he belongs at 2400 and on a pro team that rages that hard every match? That guy? Yea, he lives in his mom's basement.
Or he could be 10 and playing with his older brother in college, but on track to become 2400 when he's about 20. You never know. One of my friends is in his late 30s, is a solid LoL player, and his (extremely mature and intelligent) 9 year old son queues with him and plays like he's maybe 1500ish elo.

come at me bro.
Tryndamere is OP 1v1 with no ganks, I'm not stupid, I've watched LoveMyRMB stomp world class pros with seeming ease using Tryndamere top when they didn't get ganks in a solo ranked game ;p
Well god damn. Just decided to try out ranked today.

Plus, a lot of LoL players are couple players.
