That’s taking the content “serious”. That kinda intensity doesn’t translate to frontline. Making call-outs, setting way markers, or naming targets aren’t a bad thing. You’re trying to direct the masses to secure a W. Taking to “serious” is when you start verbally bashing people in the chat for not following directions. Same goes for casual CC. Nothing more annoying then catching a beating while someone is spamming “hello”, “thanks”, or “nice job”.

Disclaimer. It’s annoying in ranked but you gotta expect it. The general thought is, everyone past gold is there because they know what they’re doing. Repeated failure is more harshly approached because that IS meant to be taken “serious”.
Alright here's the thing. Not all people who passed gold have done it because they are smart or good, most of them got it past because of luck and rng. Do you know get it how awful ranked is and how many people don't deserve their ranks? So why this happens?

- There is no demotion in gold / plat, which means hardstuck plat 4 players tend to destroy everyone's games including the wintraders that do it on purpose because they know that there's no demotion.
- A lot of players have more than 600 games played and have overcome gold but doesn't mean they were good, this is just luck.
- So many people can get winning streaks because this game doesn't have enough people in CC. Some people will have 9 games won in a row because enemy team trolls everytime or they constantly get queued up with best players while enemy team unfortunately has the worst comps possible. This is how some of them came to diamond without any issues, heck even crystal.

When I played Crystaline Conflict on my first try in season 9, I came to diamond 1 just because one day I had super easy games where enemy team trolled on purpose. It net me tons of wins even though I didn't deserve that rank and was a bad player. Do you now realize what's happening with this game mode?

Let's not go deeper into the facts that when you have 10-20 same people in queue every day, your chances of rising up are very slim and system tends to put same teams over and over so good luck if that one day you constantly have an anchor in your team and enemy team does not. This leads to queue sniping, class sniping and then general toxicity written on internet about particular person. This whole game mod needs a big rework and more people if it is ever to get serious.
