My serious suggestions for Riot ranked system
I was silver 2 in last season. I have heard too much about saying that if u deserve silver u can climb up again. It is just a waste of time here, and it is not helpful. I met so new players now, and every game just broke my heart.
Riot, do u think it is a positive way to encourage us to improve ? Actually I do not think I can make any progress in bronze, because everyone is so bad, negative and salty. And I do not learn anything good or positive at bronze level.
When I was a silver player, I did learn something from good players. I know when to fight and who to focus on. But in bronze, every fight is just total mass. The longer I stay in bronze, the more impossible I can get out of it.
Riot, indeed, u should improve your ranked system. I play CSGO as well and it has a similar ranked system too. But that system is much better than yours, in my opinion.
First of all, CSGO ranked system does not put everyone in the lowest level, but it puts all players in a second lower level. That level in CSGO is called gold or gold master. Any players love that level because the name of it does not negative. But in LOL, bronze is a negative label. Nobody would like being called bronze.
Secondly, this starting level of CSGO the so called gold acts like a buffer zone. It puts all beginners, moderate level players into this level. Games at this gold level probably are like games of high bronze level in the league. But it can work as a discriminator to differentiate very bad and very good players. Very good players will definitely go up, and very bad players will drop down to lower level that is a lowest tier, the silver in CSGO.
The last, CSGO evaluates performances of players in games and decides which player can get a promotion, not only based on win or loss.
What I want to point out is that Riot ranked system is somehow turning into a negative, stressful and upset system for beginner players. We are no long enjoying the game.
Another problem is the booster. U should be able to detect boosters in bronze. Nowadays there are lots of boosters in bronze. This is ruining the fun of game.
In conclusion, as a one year old player of legends, I have made myself step to silver in season 5, and I was enjoying the game. However, the new season just tortures me. I really believe that you should do something to improve your ranked system.
