I practiced with a few normal (unrated) matches as always. Once I felt like I have warmed up enough with the new champ I am trying to main (Jett), I start to queue for a ranked game. Even before the game begun, in the agent selection... I guess my "team" (I'm Gold 2 elo) got mad that I locked in Jett... (despite that everyone else had already hovered over a different agent) Specifically a guy claiming to be a SMURF who had selected Reina. I believe he had queued in with "friends" because everyone began to insult me through chat and voice comm. The "smurf" along with one of his friends claimed that they would not leave base until I died... And they did exactly that for about 3 rounds. They kept spamming the N-word along with so much more profanity and they would message the opponent team to report me for no reason. I took it as lightly as possible and did my best to play the game despite them. Then my teamates sova and raze begun to nade and arrow me to death... killing me more than two rounds... Then they both disconnected from the game. I was left with a Reina and her minion (a sage). To play a 3 v 5. They kept insulting and trying to humiliate the opponent team along with me. The smurf player was definitely skilled but it was sad to see that he would take advantage of that to ruin the game for others in lower ranks. Even when I was clutching a few rounds for us, I was only met with insults from the sage... The match was close... but we still lost 9 to 13. I honestly feel so terrible about this game. There is enough pressure as it is to try and live up to my rank and to try to rank up... I seriously put in a lot of effort into it! but people like this seriously made me reconsider how much time and effort I put into this game. The saddest part of it all was that the smurf's minions sounded like they were kids of ages ~14 or 15... and I feel so terrible that kids like that were spamming such vulgarities and display so much hate for others. I wish things were different. I reported them... but I'm confident that nothing will really happen and no one will get punished because the amount of reports in this game are probably outrages. I pulled out my phone and begun to take photos of them killing me, and claiming they wont move until i die , etc. If you look at my match history, I have climbed from bronze to gold mainly through Raze & Jett. I watch many tutorials, read forums such as this, watch streamers, watch compilations videos to get ideas on how to play aggressively, etc. I really am dedicated to the games I play... Now I am just afraid to queue ranked because I fear something like this would happen again. I won't be playing this game today and will take a much needed break from it. Is it too hard to find a team who shares the same passion for gameplay? If anyone out there wants to queue together as a team, please message me.
