Playing without 4 friends is literally a gamble, no way around that I'm afraid :/ One (or even two) just can't carry the rest of the team, so if you're not lucky, you're basically screwed.

I can't believe people who're saying the story is more interesting.
The whole premise is forced in a huge way. They took a character who absorbed the dark power he was supposed to guard so he can avenge his family and they instead made him a killer who absorbed two gays. Wow, that's deep.
If they wanted to represent the gay community for whatever twisted reason, they could just release a new champion and be done with it. No, they rather pissed existing varus players, cause reasons...

Even if it was "just" family, it still ruins the whole character. There's a difference between having a guy who's trying to avenge his dead family, and having a character who's just a plain killer who absorbed two gays to set himself free. I'm sorry, but this is just ridiculous.
Looking at the whole story like "he's still a vengeful badass" is a very shallow looking way at things.

Oh, you'd be surprised. Actually, Riot DID try this way back. Didn't work. If someone wants to abuse others, he will. Chat restricted or not. That's why the next punishment is ban from playing.

I don't care about champions balance, because that can be exploited any time as you've just pointed out. The biggest problem with balance is the matchmaking. Either stomp or get stomped. I honestly don't remember when was the last time I had a balanced match, it always feels like either of the extremes.
I play numerous games, among them Dark Souls, Bloodborne etc, and I NEVER feel as frustrated playing them as I feel when playing LoL. When I die in Bloodborne and have to start over, I know it's completely my fault. That feeling is never present here. You can get completed f..ed over by 1-2 strangers.

:
> They are based on your perception playing this game as a Rioter
With respect, I've been a Rioter for 6 months, but a player for 5 years, and I've been Diamond since season 3. My perception has not changed since I became a Rioter.
A lot of your post I can't really respond to, but I just want to mention that I work in security; I cannot see who got banned or punished, I know nothing about how the algorithms work past what I know about the MMR system back in Season 2 (which I don't even know if we are still using). I take all of this stuff on faith level as well.
To be 100% clear: I have access to all of the same information that you do and nothing more. I guess I just look at it in a different light. I totally understand your point about having bad experiences for a long time, but I simply don't experience that in game for the most part.
I can't speak for what is or isn't going on with regards to research at lower ranks, but I would be surprised if we aren't doing any.
> To be 100% clear: I have access to all of the same information that you do and nothing more.
Even if you really wanted to? You couldn't just approach some colleague/boss/whoever and ask him about it? Or do you have secrets between your departments so no one can talk about other parts of the "machine" at all?

> 1st of all, how does it help if a player got punished or not, and you also know if a player you reported got punished.
If you read Boards, in any language, you must have seen the frustration that comes with the belief that the report system is useless and people never get punished. Rioters on the other hand can easily disregard such feelings just by checking those people manually and actually see if the system is working or not.
So how does it help? It helps to lessen the frustration from bad experiences.
> I don't think just because you work at Riot you get more information than most players, you'll just have the necessary information that you need to do your job, nothing more.
In a job where people cooperate and discuss things, this is pretty much never the case. Of course, I don't know the level of secrecy that's going on in Riot particularly, but generally speaking from my 10 years of working experience, there's a huge difference between a person who works at the company, no matter the position, and between an average joe, who is just a customer. If you find that "stupid" or "idiotic", that is your problem. It can be said more politely though.

Sure, except they can check how the system works and if not directly see the source code and algorithms, they can always ask their colleagues about certain parts of the system. For instance it's probably very easy to check if someone got punished or not.
Take a regular person in contrast to understand what I'm talking about. Are you never frustrated about one-sided matches? Do you think Rioters feel the same frustration? Knowing they can actually change parts of the system? Or maybe have influence of what's going on? Or at the very least - understand what's actually happening and know plans of the company how they intend to deal with it?
Do you have such options and insights to the system? Probably not, eh?

A Red Herring
(EUW)
:
I mean, the problem is that the reality is innately subjective. What I said is how I feel things are and are based on my perception of playing the game for 5 years, and what you've said how is you feel how the game is based on your perception of playing the game for 6 years.
They are based on your perception playing this game as a Rioter. There is a good chance you know things most of the people don't even have an idea about. You know the algorithms, you can see if someone got punished etc. Regular players don't have that luxury and it's pretty hard to keep it at the "faith" level, when we encounter bad experiences every day for such a long time. Without any feedback and with one-sided matches decided by who got more lucky this time...
Sure, if you're very good and can make it to diamond or above, the situation might be different there, but if I recall correctly, 60-70% of the playerbase is stuck in bronze/silver. At best gold. When was the last time Rioters did actual research on what's going on in those tiers? Played at least 100-200 games with anonymous accounts? Seen the amount of botting accounts, trolls, ragers...
As I'm a programmer as my profession for several years, I can understand more than the average Joe, but it's difficult sometimes even for me and it's getting harder to explain it to others.

A Red Herring
(EUW)
:
Here's how I view it.
33% of the time you're going to lose, no matter what you do.
33% of the time you're going to win, no matter what you do.
The other 33% is up to you.
You'll have loss streaks, but eventually you will recover. However, if you're on a losing streak, don't forget that sometimes it's best to take a break.
The game is not rigged against you personally, it's just sometimes you'll have bad luck, and you'll notice your streaks of bad luck much more than your streaks of good luck.
All you can do is just try and learn from each game, even a loss, and incorporate those learnings into the next games you play.
With all this said and done: you have *significantly more* losses than wins, and they haven't just occurred in the most recent loss streak you had. I don't mean to imply that you deserve a demotion to Gold, but a 45% win rate over 650 games does not happen in a single losing streak without you being responsible for at least some of the losses. All I can suggest is that you take this as a learning experience.
In your past 5 games you've had very low kill participation, ranging from 23% (Nasus top) at minimum to 39% (Annie support) at maximum. This tells me that in most of your games you're just hoping your team will win for you rather than trying to impact the game; you should try to roam more with teleports. Mundo and Nasus are both not very good at this, so this might be something to consider if you're wanting to climb: Consider picking champions that can contribute more to the team than split pushing and damage. CC in solo queue in king.
Kill participation is not a perfect measure, of course, especially in very bloody games, but generally speaking if I find myself below 45% kill participation I feel like I got carried.
Additionally, in the game where you were against a 22/8 Kog'Maw, you didn't build a magic resistance item, you only built a Sunfire cape against a team that was primarily magic damage and continued to build a Trinity Force until you lost. Maybe consider adapting your build to the opponents strengths (and weaknesses) a bit more? Mundo does not really benefit from Trinity Force; he has a lot of damage in his kit already and all he really needs is a single offensive item to do well (Titanic Hydra). Trinity Force is very expensive and offers little in the way of defensive stats, but you were your teams secondary tank that game, so you can't afford to be building full offense. Your team had enough damage in Caitlyn and Katarina; so why did you build offensively instead of defensively to itemise against the Kog'Maw?
There's always something you can change in each game, including in games you do well. I understand your frustration in your loss streak, but I don't think it's a good idea to absolve yourself of all responsibility.
> 33% of the time you're going to lose, no matter what you do.
> 33% of the time you're going to win, no matter what you do.
>
> The other 33% is up to you.
Please, let us know when the objective reality actually starts to reflect this theory. It sounds good on paper, but after playing this game for 6 years I can assure you it's far from being the truth.
Matchmaking is flawed at best. All the time it's just a stomp - either you stomp or get stomped. Maybe 5% of my games were actually balanced. If every match was like that, I wouldn't even mind losing, but when your team goes 2:15 in 10minutes and you're playing a squishy ADC... well.. there's not really much you can do after your "teammates" start spamming "FF 20! OPEN MID! THIS IS LOST!!!".

There are two parts to your "letter".
1.) people leaving the game - I don't think anyone would disagree with that point
2.) 100-300ms isn't high. THIS is a false statement. If you're used to 30ms and suddenly everything happens with 0.3s delay, it is noticeable. If you're used to higher pings and you just stick to aram games as you say, then you probably don't care too much, but for the rest of us it is a big deal.
You can test your reaction time here for instance http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime.
Mine is currently about 210-230ms (mind you I'm currently sick and very tired). If you add another 200-300ms lag to that, suddenly there's a 0.5 delay to any action. Sure, it doesn't mean the guy with 30ms is necessarily better than you, but he already has some advantage and it's very noticeable in a competitive environment.
Also, when someone complains about high ping, it's kinda rare for that person to have STABLE high ping. It usually means his connection is fluctuating and so the delay is not consistent. If he's used to 30ms, of course it's not a pleasant experience. The value shown in the game is usually just an average value, not the current REAL delay.

Battlefield 3/4 and LoL are old games and I don't believe you that about Division at all. I've been trying it with my fx6300 and gtx 1060, and the drops are way too annoying. Many people have problems with unstable fps in that game and with amd processors it's even worse compared to intel. Unfortunately.
> every console have AMD CPU's (xbox, ps, wii ect)
Yes, and they have 30fps in most of their games. When a game reaches STABLE 60 fps on a console, everyone celebrates. I seriously wouldn't use consoles as a good example, because it's actually quite the opposite.
