Then there are players like me who were silver last season & are silver again this season. Dynamic Queue had no effect on me.

Thank you Rito for that harder than normal ranked reset.

"WHY CANT I CLIMB?! GOLD 3 LAST SEASON STUCK IN SILVER 5 QQQQQQ"

Lol you're going to sit there with a straight face and try to tell us you don't know why? Hue hue

Good. Fuck those players. It was awful to deal with Bronze/Silvers in Plat losing Diamond promos 4 times because of 4 man premades with 2-3 gold 5s in my team.

They deserve their spot in low bronze and low silver.

It's also funny seeing people say this as if the lethality meta and jungle tuning from this season weren't one of the most broken states the game has ever seen.

If you're an immobile mage main, there's a high chance you got fucked this season. People ask me about it in games, and I say "lethality meta" and everyone knows what I'm talking about.

dunder killMay 15, 201757 votes

Who are you trying to kid? Lethality meta has been over for months and you just went 1/12/6 against a team of all low Silver and Bronze players. 46% win rate in Silver with over 300 games.

But Plat last season.

As a support main I HATED dynamic queue...Was absolutely terrible.

I play immobile Mage support/mids and am doing fantastic this season. Vekkna is looking for an excuse for his own poor play.

Feel free to search my solo queue % from last season if there's any site that compiles that data. If I remember correctly, my solo rate was about 85%, and nearly all of the rest was various duos. So really the same as this season.

I think you're missing the overall point that this season has been exceptionally disruptive. Jungle, lethality, mastery, and assassin updates were all disruptive on the level of pre-season 6. When I say "lethality meta," it refers to absurd balance swings that aren't addressed for months, not just the literal lethality stat.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove by trying to mock my bad stats, unless you're just really trying to land a zinger. I wouldn't have fallen if I had good stats, so kudos for having the ability to state the obvious. When you're a dedicated main of 1-2 champs and branch out to trying new champs, it's possible to do very poorly with them when you're learning (and often failing).

Glory ln DeathMay 15, 20172 votes

Learning new champs is what Normal games are for, though...

Sun Wu RyuumokuMay 15, 20173 votes

no, training tools is.

Glory ln DeathMay 15, 20174 votes

Either way, he shouldn't have been taking new champs into Ranked.

Golden Tager XMay 16, 20171 votes

you can only learn combos there, and that is a really really small portion of learning a champ.

Sun Wu RyuumokuMay 16, 20172 votes

Not true, u can learn to cs, what to build... Anyway learning is a long process

GayFluffyUnicornMay 15, 20171 votes

I'm a swain, gp main. Both mid. I was even higher this season than last season (dia 4) before i had some sort of mental breakdown intfeeding my way to plat 2, now that i started playing serious again just look at my stats in my last 20 soloq games. And picking GP mid basically requires you to be masochistic. Btw, i got to dia last season with zed, jayce. So no it's not the meta which let you drop two entire tiers.

Sahn UzalMay 15, 20178 votes

I'm a swain, gp main.

Ah, I see you're a man of culture aswell.

Both mid.

Ah, nevermind.

Honestly, I love GP, but the combination of me sucking at Midlane and Stuff like Syndra being played mid, I'd much rather be a toplane GP masochist.

Made it to Diamond by myself last season. Did it again this season.

My issue is that I'm hard stuck low Diamond. I can't get past D4 before the insufferable happens and I'm D5 again. -_-

Skyphic May 14, 20174 votes

if ur stuck in d5 dont bother playing.

not being rude or anything but its most likely your peak and you playing any more games would be a waste unless you're trying to improve rather than climb.

the amount of people in my games with 2k games d5 that cant do a single thing right is insane.

GayFluffyUnicornMay 15, 20178 votes

Hashinshin is also a streamer. Tobias has 1700 ranked games as well this season already. Ofc you go to play a lot when it's your job.

DevlinCrowMay 15, 20171 votes

I've heard a lot of Bronze people buy D5 accounts, maybe you keep getting them :(

Diamond is still amazing though!

It's true

Yesterday, P2 Ezreal (last season) lost to a Silver 5 in lane. No jungler intervention. He raged quit.

It was not a bad match up, It actually favors him... He mains ADC...

The problem is that you'll sit there in Bronze/Silver with Plat ELO(if you were Plat), PLAYING against other previous Plat players as well, fighting to ..climb back up to Plat. That literally dismisses the whole point to the ladder climbing.

Even before DQ messed things up, when a new season would begin, or whether you're on a fresh account or not.. You could be in Silver with a Plat MMR, trying to climb into Gold, then to Plat. But you stay S2-S1 because you're already facing people IN Plat. You're facing your equals that sit where you could/should/would be. While you're 2 tiers below.. lol.

The Divisions system is heavily inaccurate and should of been removed after the first year of testing it. If you're in Silver, you should be facing Silver players. In Gold, face Golds. Plat, face Plats and so on. It is absolutely goofy that you could be facing your equals who are physically 2 tiers above you, but you have to beat them in order to reach there..

(Side Note: I tend to make new accounts each season to ignore the ELO Stick that stamps your ELO where it ends the season. Because then I can completely ignore that faulty face slap half the time and just climb up. But it's a shame I have to do that at all..)

If you are really silver with plat elo you only need to have like a 33% win rate to climb up in lp, at least until your mmr leverages out.

Sraeg2013May 15, 20173 votes

Boy, how I can relate. Before DQ I was Plat for 2 seasons straight and the season before I was one day late getting Gold (started ranked mid-season). When DQ came around thanks to the fuckery of premades I barely scraped for Gold playing entirely solo.

This season I'm Silver in 3 queues (with 44% winrate after ~120 games in the only queue I spent more time than provisionals) and I have exactly zero willingness to even try at this point. It doesn't matter how well I do, because each game is a never-ending stream of idiots.

Fuck it.

DukuesMay 15, 20172 votes

Yea idk maybe its still the backlash of last season but climbing is a pain for me too. I have never been plat but ranked 3 accounts to gold last season solo. Right now I am struggling trying to climb through silver 2... I know a took a break and I am a little rusty but games are such a shit show right now I am almost at the fuck it point as well. Just really haven't been having that much fun because a lot of games seem so uneven its just like "wtf is this".

RaiyzaMay 15, 20173 votes

Solo queue should be purely solo queue.

We need a separate queu for duos.

I barely made it to silver last season and hit gold this season. :D

DeathBurstMay 15, 20172 votes

You do realize we're in May, there are still plenty of time before the end of season and people are still fooling around?

I was Gold in DynQ, I'm now Gold again in Flex because I rushed it so I could spend most of my time in Solo/Duo, and I'm still Silver in Solo/Duo. Because I don't use my main Champs. When August or September come I'll worry about climbing in the ladder, for now I try to train and improve.

DynQ has some serious problems, but almost none of them was what the boards were complaining about at the time.

xxxDogmanxxxMay 15, 20172 votes

I wish I had friends higher elo than me so that I could get boosted too.

Ravenous HowlsMay 15, 20172 votes

Personally I didn't have a problem with DQ last season. It was the first Season I played Ranked Seriously and got to G3. I am G4 this season atm. I do like the Flex Q and the Solo Q though. I feel like there is a better expression of individual and team oriented skill that was sort of all over the place in DQ. Maybe it is different at higher Elo's but I generally think if you reach a certain division you are meant to be there if you played well alone or with friends. That is ofc if you didn't have your acct boosted which is annoying AF but those seem to be rare cases.

Last avatarnameMay 15, 20171 votes

Considering I barely played last season, was it truly that horrible? I mean there are a lot of horror stories about this ranking system but I never really experienced it myself.

DukuesMay 15, 20173 votes

People always blow shit out of proportion. Maybe high elo is better now but low elo always will be the same shit show it has always been.

NichtHurzMay 15, 20171 votes

It's actually crazy how many P5 players who were D5 last season now sit in P5 with something like a 43%-47% winrate. I've had players like this in most of the ranked games I've played this season. Some are still decent and I don't know why they're hardstuck in P5 like this, but I've also seen quite a few people where I have no f'in clue how they ever got past G5.

KrigjerMay 15, 20171 votes

I actually attempted to play with friends during Dynamic Queue and ending up FALLING OUT OF GOLD. Twice. I only climbed when I played solo.

I'm noticing the same trend this season. I'm climbing when playing solo, but consistently falling/losing when I try to duo with a friend. I need to remind myself in the future to not accept requests to play, at least not ranked.
