Solution to ranked imo
No doubt many of us play ranked. And with ranked comes certain frustrations. We all know them and love them. So first off let me list what I've seen as a concise census of what goes wrong in ranked then pose the solution that i think would help alleviate the problems.
Ill try to keep it short.
- Players with no exp on a champ playing ranked.
- Smurfs to some extent
- Afk players
- players that don't have the team mentality...for example a. Jugglers that are interested in there own KDA, farming, or not helping there team. b. players who just don't communicate , ie mute all , ignore pings
- Players that just don't try for objectives
- Toxic players that verbally abuse people then the people who say something get banned, or such by RIOT.
- Players who blame others for there own bad performance.
- Feeders and griefers.
- boosters with multiple accounts..hell Ive been solicited for money to be boosted on this game. Just to name a few.
In the course of this last year I've met some players that shouldn't be in the league ranking that they are in. My question is how does one truly go higher when 9/10 games no matter how hard they try the team loses. Either by what 's quoted above or just generally bad luck of the draw on who you get paired up with.
I've watched you tubes, how to escape ELO hell. Watch all the vids and such to be a better player etc. But it all comes back to what was stated above.
Now the solution.
I think Rank could be fixed for those who should be higher this way. Keeping the team bonuses intact RIOT could do this to fix the current problem. They could make it where your LP gain or loss is based off of your KDA to some extent. Like if you played your heart out and had 26/5/13. You should go up a few lp ( no more than max 5Lp) But you would get full lp gain if you win. If you fed or just are really bad and had a 1/15/2 then you would be double penalized LP when your team loses or your lp gain would be lower like 5lp instead of 17. I think that if this system was put into place then i think people would float to the correct rank and it would keep the worst of the worst or what you see in wood league at the bottom. I also think that if this happened it would populate the higher tears with more players that would give the top tier players a run for their money. Not only that the game would attract more players which would mean more money for RIOTS pockets. Second is dont allow people to play ranked until they have minimum of 50k exp with that char. This would stop smurfs and low level people from playing ranked and prevent them from wasting players time on a lost game
Please feel free to discuss the above id like to know. AND BY DISCUSS IS actually talk about it constructively not just sling insults, troll, or be toxic. (Sad i have to say that but some people are toxic behind the veil of anonymity) Remember this is just an opinion and TBH i dont think RIOT will ever change it. SO that being said keep your heads up everyone and dont get tilted.
