It took Blizzard about 3 weeks to determine it was garbage in HoTS. How long do you think it'll take Riot?

they will realize fast.

whether this results in a fix is unknown.

this is a terrible idea for ranked because it doesn't actually test your skill, it just tests how well you work with your 4 other friends, your premade cheese tactics, and your voice comms. i can't think of a single time riot has made a mistake and actually listened to people and reverted it though, pretty sure it's here to stay.

To be fair, solo queue was a reflection of who had less terrible teammates in over 50% of games too.

no, it wasn't lol.. soloq is a reflection of how well you can carry despite adversities like afks and feeders. i had an afk in one of my promos on my way to gold and instead of complaining about it i got my adc incredibly fed and we carried. the enemy team ff at 20 lmao

That means you had less terrible team mates.... I've won 4v5s in ranked before too, but the opposing team played terribly.

yeah but it was the ENTIRE TEAM playing terribly so it's not like any of them could be like, "wow this team, this is why im stuck in elo hell" because they all fuckin sucked lmao

So the enemy team was so bad they lost a 4v5. And the only thing that should be deciding your rank is your skill not how often you can carry feeders and AFK's anyway. If anything playing in a group means that you can climb to as high as you belong provided the people you queue with are as good as you. This removes a lot of the questioning from ranked. It isn't like people are going to go from Bronze to diamond overnight anyway unless they were legit that unlucky which just doesn't happen.

I know Riot went back a cpls of time on idiot buffings on certains champs but patches take like 2 weeks + to arrive so I give them 4 months (after spring LCS)
