RITO's throwaway game niche

LOL is really just a throwaway game title if you're in bronze/silver tiers, I've come to realize. The same as any online or browser based game, really. The utter randomness of your teammates is the true factor that keeps this from being anything more than a fan service, since your average player is a wannabe #lcsbigplays. Give them something to twiddle with until we need them to watch the tournaments. I'll still play but expect every game to be with garbage and smurfs.... what it's been all along, honestly. Anyone saying anything different is either trying to sell you something or has already drunk deeply of the kool-aid . I'm no pro, and i do enjoy the game from time to time. I've just finally accepted that their system is broken enough that they have to know most people will create a new account and pump MORE money into that new one, talk about a smart new e-sales paradigm. If you see me say hi, but I won't have any time to spare holding your hand, I'll be busy having MYSELF a good time or not, depending on how garbage the match is.

See you out there.

LOL to many posts about people QQing how they can't get out of silver/bronze. Come on dude stop blaming everyone else. every match you lose has one thing in common. And that thing is YOU. Man up, improve, and climb that ladder and stop feeling sorry for yourself and complaining. Honestly. it helps nothing to mope and do nothing.

The system is under the guise of a team game.... which then turns into a game you can ONLY advance if you CARRY your team as an individual player, BUT you are judged/rated by how your team does. RITO needs to make their fucking minds up if it's a team or an individual player game and judge accordingly. Makes no sense unless you understand the hamster-wheel e-sales paradigm.

The silence is deafening. I absolutely love that all the kool-aid drinkers are mysteriously absent from this thread now that i called a spade a spade. Gnar

I just posted in another thread the simplest explanation of ELO hell for the lowest tiers as a ...

VICIOUS CYCLE or NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP that cannot be escaped from if you occupy the lowest tiers of play.

If you really hate the people in ranked, just play normals. Or get friends and play 5's ranked
