Change Ranked algorithm please

ZED G0D··2 votes·567 views

I believe the most practical way to ensure that Match making is performing optimally is to enable an individual ranking algorithm instead of a "win/loss" formula.

Why?

Players who score well should be recognized by the ranking system vs. players who just win a lot and are carried.

I main mid lane, I usually score A-S ranking on my champions and go positive KD (not all games but most, im not Faker)

Im not crying about being stuck, im not stuck im doing okay. Im just trying to re-evaluate the ranking system to personalize it more. This I believe will reduce trolls and unskilled players in higher ranks (diamond+) which is the way It should be. then you will be set with people who are your skill level...not players who belong in B5 but are ranked G2.

I'm fully aware that the win/lose ranking system is supposed to also promote team work etc, but it only promotes trolls and flaming.

Please concider this Riot, A personalized ranking system vs. a win based ranking system

There is definitely a threshhold in which a player totally gives up and feeds intentionally. Which seriously hinders your chances of winning no matter what. LIKE 90%. For example, I had a vayne in one of my games (an adc main), literally go 0/12/0. When he could have just played passively and hoped the carries could stall the game out for him to get gold. He proceeded to fight constantly. 2v1s 1v3s. You name it. I understand having a bad game, but a feeding threshold should be taken into account. A player that could just farm it out and listen to his team, but completely gives up reduces your chances of winning from 40% to 2%. It`s often worse than a 4v5 because he gives the other team gold and experience while taking your gold (farm, jungle monsters). . . So yes, I support your suggestion that AT SOME THRESHOLD. Individual performance should be considered. It should at least be tested in the PBE or something to see how players behavior is affected. I think it could be very positive/beneficial.

Bump. This is a real problem. Performance should have at least as much (if not more) bearing on ranking.
