@Barmithian @Forest
Thank you so much for the help and advice, i'll be honest with myself, i'm a filthy casual and have no place in ranked games. That being said, i only tried playing ranked to be able unlock those mastery chests for the chance to get the champion shards for blue essences because everyone i looked trying to figure out how to get chests, people said ranked matches so i went with what i could find.
+1 to @Barmithian and @Forest for being helpful and everything~.
In response to your answer @Barmithian, i kinda figured this was the case, but i was just caught off guard by the instant toxicity from my first ranked matches, and was concerned if this would end up being the norm or not, and figured if im gonna ask around, i may as well open a discussion on the forums for people to talk about/vent their concerns and make myself a little more useful in the xG community.
I didn't know that this was a thing, thank you so much~
