Season 9 (Ranking)

I'm not even really the person to post but this is just unacceptable. Riot what were you guys thinking by putting this system into your game? You are going to have the most toxic Rankings ever and its going to cause players to quit. 3 Major Problems

  1. Why change roles into ranks? Doing this you punish more experienced players, you force them to play with people that dont have the same knowledge for the game as them. Hindering their ability to win the game. Or could be opposite you have someone on a team who isnt even suppose to be in that elo playing against players who just cant keep up and they dominate these players but they cant climb out cause they lose more than they win but when they in game they dragg other players in the mud. Just results in a more toxic enviroment. You are making ranked unplayable.

  2. Nerf Jungle again? The jungler role has always been shaky, you dont want players who are very good at Jungling to take over games and carry themselves out of elo's anymore? No more power farming, you have to gank more often (Risky) you die once you are behind really most of the game and cant recover cause all jg does is give red and blue buffs. Cant farm jg might as well try to farm champs and stick in lanes. Soon you wont see junglers anymore they will take buffs and go into lanes with shields to smite cannon minion and share gold.

3.Riot why do you encourage this type of gameplay? You are indirectly encouraging your community to be toxic. Its not the players fault its yours, the game play and system enrages players, Punishments are a joke like a slap on the hand. Do something about this or you will have a bigger problem on your hands than you had with Dynamic Q<--------Looking like a repeat where people just uninstall again.

Role mmr is something the game has needed ever since role queue was introduced. Mmr simply cannot function with 1 value for 5 ranks for long and the cracks were already showing last season. The change was absolutely necessarily and makes ranked a much more pleasant experience.

The more you play, the more you will see that this system is so flawed you wont be able to even stand playing anything else but the role you selec, but that role will be so up and down that you will be playing with diamonds and bronzes. Role mmr was never needed. If you understand the basics and excel at champion knowledge and positioning. There is no reason for you to be a plat player playing in a silver game. (No matter what role you choose)

Role based mmr is not about your own skill, it is about the skill of everyone else in your game. Instead of randomly getting allies auto filled in brackets they can’t play in, a higher portion of your games will have allies and enemies at their correct mmr.

Role mmr is absolutely needed and the ranked system was already showing cracks after 3 seasons of role queue without role Mmr. The problem was only getting worse and ranked is so much better now that it isn’t trying to pidgeonhole every player into one mmr.

How is this different tho, splash rankings ranks you for position thats a secondary which you wont even play 20% of your games. You win a lot you still will be at a rank in a auto fill game that you arent suppose to be at? This Role base mmr system is flawed. You like it right now but when it shows you a crack it will be a tear. Good Luck

Again, it isn’t about you, it is about the 9 other players and making the game more balanced. It is a strict improvement compared to last season and something the game desperately needed. No matter what problems occur on the new system, it will be less than what would have happened without role mmr.

You don't understand what i just said? What is happening to you is happening to other players that includes players on your team. You are going to end up with a more broken system than the ones before. Can only wait and see what it will look like in the next couple weeks. You are the first person I see actually defending the changes lol. I wonder for how long

It is impossible for the problem to be larger than last season. All of the “problems” you point to were much worse on the older system. The new system is a strict upgrade and any problems we do see will be smaller compared to if we kept the old system.

You will have the same problem you had with Dynamic Q. One tricking will be more common WAY MORE. Skill level difference will be so messed up but it will be so much more common, everyone 10 games most of them you wont even fill satisfied you won.

One tricking was never a problem with dynamic queue, having 3-5 players queuing together was the problem. On top of that, the new system doesn’t change the amount of one-tricks, their impact on off roles are just less. Skill difference will be less under the new system and the problems they cause will also be proportionately less.
