Ranking BULLSH...

Pawsible··2 votes·1,057 views

I am so tired of the solo ranking crap. I have the best scores on both teams 95% of the time, yet I lose because I cannot hold four other players hands all at the same time. Riot needs to rethink how they distribute ranking points because this is bull. OP.GG has lovely scoring. Can Riot not figure it out? You let good players get stuck with the worst trash players ever. These games are beyond frustrating. No one likes having these level 2 tower divers, level 4 jungles attempting ganks on level 6s, people who keep pushing their lane out just to die again. It is really demoralizing knowing Riot doesn't seem to give a shit that their ranking system is broken. I played back in closed beta. For the first time, I am trying ranked this year, and it is beyond the worst experience ever. It's just a gamble at low rankings to get an ADC that can do three basic things. 1. Continuously move instead of standing there just pushing the lane. 2. Know how to time their attacks for CS. 3. Pay attention and dodge enemy skills. Please Riot, fix your ranking system.

An ADC that can do those 3 basic things would not be a low elo player. The fact that a player that has not mastered basic skills actually in low elo matches would lead me to believe the ranking system is working.

While I do understand that, and they should be. But what about the support who our wards, out damages enemy, and has higher KDA than his ADC? Should that support who outperformed his ADC that he randomly got paired with suffer the same fate?

If he is consistent, then he will also move out of low elo. Individual games do not define the whole system. I'm learning brand support and in my 25 games I've ranged from a B+ to a D- in grades. Every time I play very good or very bad and it creates a mismatch, that's not the fault of the ranking system.

What about A to S+, even on losing games. Yeah feels bad when I lose with S.

Getting an S and losing is frustrating - it happens to everyone - but when I go back and look at games where "I couldn't do anything, my team sucked, blah blah blah" I can generally identify macro moves I could have made to help us win. Kills / score does not mean you're helping your team win.
