Congrats, Riot. You drove off a ton of players!

I am one of many players that worked their asses off to get out of Elo hell last season. I go 8 wins in my promos. My reward? I get thrown back into Elo hell all the way from Gold 4. My Gold 5 buddy lost 7 games and only went down to Silver 2. WHAT THE HELL!?

Riot. Congrats. You LITERALLY pushed players who worked to get OUT OF ELO HELL right back into it. My response? Why fucking bother anymore. Getting out of Elo Hell is rolling the dice. Oh, some kid thinks AP Kogmaw is viable against a Le Blanc? Loss. Someone wants to play AD Teemo top and says Faker did it? Loss. Enemy team randomly has two D/cs? Free win!

Victories and defeats in Elo hell aren't skill-based. They aren't about outplaying shit. You just enter the match and hope they suck more than your own team does.

I understand pushing people in Diamond and up down a tier. Throwing people below that down an entire Tier regardless of how many wins they have? WHY EVEN HAVE THE FIRST 10 GAMES TO SET YOUR RANK!? WHY EVEN BOTHER!? JUST SET EVERYONE AT BRONZE 5! At least then my chances of getting decent teammates goes up!

As it stands, I'm done with LoL Ranked. If this new system of just tossing you down into Elo hell remains, I'll never touch the garbage again. WHY WOULD YOU?! Your effort is literally meaningless! Heroes of the Storm, here I come. The only MOBA with a logical ranking system, because apparently that's really hard to do!?
