been playing this abortion since beta, fix solo queue ranked for god F&^king sake easily...
i'm posting this now even though i know its an exercise of futility because i just got done playing with a 2nd pick ADC who just started and had no runes or idea how to last hit, position, or what pings meant!
here's my thoughts for the self appointed social police of Lottery of Legends. these points haven't changed much since i posted this when ranked and elo were introduced.
solo queue ranked games make this game transparently look like the joke it is... its a lottery AT BEST if you really solo queue... the win rates for solo queue are close to 50-55% from most people i used to follow back when LOLking was up before riot put the beat down on them for players researching other players and queue dodging.
now its just a lottery of bad, ridiculously bad... and im not sure whats worse... bad players of smurfs taking advantage of bads to get their friends to an elo they don't belong to...
everyone has stories about it... here's some SIMPLE FIXES i posted before that would make it WAY BETTER but riot wont do it because its exclusionary and they wanna sell skins
that being said, here are the easy fixes.... and they are easy...
-
you cant queue for ranked games unless you have X amount of games played.... period.... (self F%^king explanatory) this fixes some of the bulls^&T smurfing issues AND gives the bads less of an excuse as they have had experience with said character. this also fixes the "i have 15 accounts, ill just play another" issues
-
i would like to see this minimal games played per champ also applied to champions able to be selected while playing ranked (im tired of people learning how to play a character in ranked on a champ they have never played)
-
if you duo queue and lose, lose twice the elo at LEAST... being able to talk and coordinate with someone else in real time gives you SO MUCH an advantage to any competent players, they can really use this advantage and i see it happen all the time... just usually on others team...
im sure Riot will defend solo queue ranked, because implementing what i just typed is exclusionary at the cost of potential people who will buy skins and live out proxy experiences of being on their fav eSports teams!
