What Riot Gets Wrong With Ranked
Dear Riot, Just when I thought you couldn't make ranked worse, you have. I am simply stunned. Ranked is a never ending grind through elo hell now. (as if it wasn't before). Let me outline a couple of key things that are really frustrating with your system.
-
A ranking system SOLELY based on team/win loss in a 10 man match that lasts 30-35 MINUTES LONG is absurd. Oh and don't forget the extra 5 minutes just to queue and do champion select. Let's do some math here... if you manage to have a 60% win rate that means out of 100 games you win 60 and lose 40. average LP is about +/- 20 LP. So a 20 game advantage times 20 LP =~400 LP or 4 divisions/1 Tier. However there are lovely promotion rounds so in reality plays out more like 3 divisions. **AFTER PLAYING 100 GAMES AT AN AVERAGE OF 30 MINUTES THAT IS 50 HOURS TO MOVE 3 DIVISIONS!!! ** Which for most people is well over a month's worth of gaming...

Now we have to climb MULTIPLE TIMES if we ever want to play anything other than one role. (just when you thought you had escaped the trolls)
