the root cause of matchmaking issues in mid-lower elo

SwiftKitten88·Oct 28, 2017·3 votes·224 views

riot still thinks new player plat at a silver level.. they don't.. regardless of mechanical skill until at LEAST 6 months of plating you CAN NOT understand matchups, proper initiation. and simple facts like the game ends when u kill the enemy nexus... NOT the first team to 50 kills.

PLEASE don't put new players i silver... they are NOT silver.

do u honestly think ANY new player has the skill to CLIMB out of bronze? if they can't CLIMB out of bronze.. they arn't silver. its an simple as that

Divisions shouldn't exist. League should be a pure elo system, with everyone starting at 800 elo.

placement matches shouldn't exist. Everyone should start at Bronze5. You should be able to drop a tier after so many losses, you should not be guaranteed silver after hitting silver for example. You should only face opponents within your tier, until you are in division1 of each tier.

So, plat1 you should be facing. Diamonds4-5's Gold1 you should be facing plat4-5's. etc etc etc.

As it stands too many players are trapped in the wrong tier. Bronze players are stuck in plat. Plat players are stuck in silver. Diamonds are stuck in gold. And the template is basically fixed to keep everyone with any kind of competence between 45-55% winrate over the course of 500+ games, based on diceroll matchmaking.

I guess this is why people can get master tier in 100 games :)

New players deserve their own queue. You may have a few new player playing at the silver level but the majority of them play at mid bronze. Silver is only the average skill level of ranked players, not the entire player base in general. That said I like bronze better, it is way less toxic there

You're 100% right. This shit straight ruins silver games. I'm not saying silver players are like good but they aren't as bad as people who never played rank before. Most people new to rank are Damn near uncarryable. Should be assumed that new players are like bronze 2 on average at best.

yeah the reason why bronze is easy to carry out of is when everyone feeds you get fed too

but i silver the chances are the the silver player the random new player on your team is facing isnt going to feed after he is given 10 free kills and you can't match that lead like u can in bronze becuase chances are you not also going to be facing a bronze

so w/e team gets the new player.. just auto loses.. and its bullshit and makes climbing such a pain..
