I cannot emphasize this enough. PEOPLE HAVE BAD GAMES!

Each team in a game will have one top frag and one bottom frag. The amount of times where people on my team have been flamed for having bad games is atrociously high. You will not always top frag or bottom frag.

For context, I just had a game where my duo and I both had a fairly bad game. We got flamed by one person in particular, and he made a very poor attempt to IGL. Bossing us around, and constantly telling us we shouldn't be in our current rank. I have seen my duo obliterate entire enemy teams that were a full 2 ranks above him and completely haul my ass on other games.

Now, let this be a warning to all people that are toxic like this. As someone who used to have a very toxic duo (he has a year-long ban on his main, and several other week-long bans on other alt accounts). If you are toxic enough, people will not hesitate to throw your games. I have seen many leads thrown because of this. If you aren't sorry enough from your game thrown, the people who report you (and the people who check the reports at Riot) will most likely deal it.

If someone is toxic, REPORT THEM! Something as small as "you're bad/trash/shit" can get you banned. The report system isn't perfect, but I promise you there are people being punished for their bad behavior.

If you ever bottom frag, even if it's for a few games in a row. It won't last forever. Your loss streak will not go on until the end of time, you will win and rank up! The new rank addition has allowed many people to reach new peaks. If you've stuck around to the end of this post. you have my blessing for ranked.

Go win some games :D

(No, I was not going 3/21, in fact my K/d was only slightly below negative as an agent I haven't played in several acts so that's alright in my books)

Edit: I guess I need to give some context on the 'bad' games. If you are locking in Reyna and not entrying, you probably deserve to have something told to you. A person who has a bad k/d doesn't necessarily mean they are useless. In average ranks, it's not very difficult to do well if your teammates have good utility use.
