Dear Riot, Why I dislike Ranked compared to unranked

SwiftKitten88··1 votes·286 views

TLDR I don't want to CLIMB to where i can face player my own skill level right before the season ends if i am even lucky enough to get there . I want to FACE players my own skill level FROM THE START!!!! NOT spend the whole season facing players and dealing with playing who cant get it through their skulls that that games ends when you kill the enemy nexus... not the first team to 50 kills


as a player who has been placed silver every season since i started playing in season 3.. i really dislike ranked.. and its for one major reason. its not fun.

but WHY isn't it fun, is a bit harder to explain.

right now riot "system" is to demote you at the beginning of each season and make you "climb" back to where u belong. and there in lies the problem because DURING the "climb" back to where you belong.. you are NOT facing people YOUR OWN skill level.

i dont WANT to face complete noobs.. i dont WANT to face diamond + players. i want to face people MY skill level..

and i am not talking about "mechanical skill" im talking about "game knowledge"

my "mechincail skill hasnt improved since the first year i started playing. my click accuracy and keyboard accuracy are not going to change.. those are PHYSICAL limitations.

and yeah.. i have pretty bad click accuracy and even using a computer since the age of four i never learned how to properly type.. and every so often end up pressing the wrong button.

but what i DO have? i know the abilties of EVERY champsion in the game.. i have EXPERIENCE playing against EVERY champion in the game i know EVERY lane (bot lane for a support as i cant adc do to my inabiltity to stutter step becuase of rapid click accuracy)

i am VERY good map awarness. and have well pas the point where i can tell where the enemy is wihout having vision of any the the enemy players of them just based on where we do have vision and what objectives are up.

so taking all that into account... where is the issue..

the issue is. i am being put with player who HAVE the click accuracy i DON'T have, who HAVE the mechanics and the kiting kills i know exactly WHAT to do but just cant do it because my hands wont let me

and riot wants me to CLIMB to an elo where i can face people "my own skill"

what is "my own skill"?? anyways i dont know.. becuase even when i gold and plat players get put on either team.. they map stupid map mistakes and pressure the wrong objectives. (aka kill not actually objectives that would win us the game).

I don't want to CLIMB to where i can face player my own skill level right before the seseond ends if i am even lucky enough to get there . i want to FACE players my own skill level FROM THE START!!!! NOT spend the whole season facing players and dealign with playing who cant get iut trhough thier skulls that that games ends when you kill the enemy nexus... not the first team to 50 kills

[sg-lulu] I hate explaining this EVERY DAMN SEASON so short less helpful explanation it is.

You do know its a soft reset right. If you are in bronze or silver you will likely be placed in bronze, Golds go down to silver mostly, Plat to gold, diamond to plat and i believe masters and challenger go to plat 1.

Its not resetting everyone to the same MMR.

... i know that. i get demoted to bronze every season and i climb out every season, but bronze is easy enough to climb out of, its SILVER that is a bloody pain.

i can carry bronze easily enough (hell this seaosn i went from bronze 2 to silver 5 in 16 strait wins on support Morgana

problem is every season something just HAS to come up that prevents me, not from climbing itself, but PLAYING enough ranked games to ALLOW me to climb

seaosn3 i was place directly into silver 1 (which btw i did NOT dererve)

season 4 i climbed to silver 2 (from bronze)

season 5 i climbed to i think silver 4 or 3 (from bronze), before the removed nidalee's lane and forced her jungle only

season 6 i came back with the release of challenger nidalee and learned her jungle i had planned on getting gold this season but i choose i boycotted ranked because of dynamic boost. (anothe rreason being i didnt want my FIRST season as gold to be the season EVERYONE got boosted. as that would prove nothing)

this season i moved from CA to AZ to MI back to CA and for a 3 month period of time (nov- feb) i climbed from bronze 4 to silver 5 then i moved back to CA and i have been having internet issues ever sense. (as i am not the one paying for the internet i have no control over the router, despite offering to pay for it)

i therefore don't really play ranked much.

but when i do... its bloody hell

Ok, they arent going th change how ranked works just because you dont have the time to play. I work 60+ hours a week and you dont see me complaining about it.

The soft reset only applies to your rank, not your MMR. You're still going against players that the game thinks are the same skill level as you.
