How do you guys keep playing ranked?

I have been playing dota since 2013. Due to living in South Africa the only way I could play ranked was if I played on EU with 200ping.

I occasionally played a couple games randomly when que times in SA were too long, but ultimately didn't really pick it up since my unranked mmr was higher than my ranked mmr and it felt like a waste of time to play ranked.

This was a trend until a year or 2 ago when I decided it is time to play ranked since the South African community is basically dead. So I begin playing ranked again and played about 100 games and ended with a 58% wr. Pretty good, but even though I was climbing I realized something…

It IS NOT FUN PLAYING RANKED, I feel like I am on toddler patrol trying to stop being from crying and ruining the game. In unranked people are actually somewhat decent human beings, but the moment ranked comes into play it seems like no one actually wants to win anymore.

So let me know how you managed to keep playing ranked, because after 100ish games I could not stand it anymore
