I can't tell Gold 3 from like silver 3 anymore

Look I have never been close to good at this game and just been happy to finally hit freaking gold in season 6 even though I have played since season 1 lol. But.... I felt like in season 6 & 7 and even before I could feel a difference between tiers, hell even divisions. But the last 2 seasons with how much the game has changed with runes, baron, towers, etc etc., I really can't tell 1 division or even tiers difference in skill anymore. Everything just feels like a big mismatched mess ball and I more or less just feel lucky if I go on a win streak.

I will admit this quicker pace has really messed me up, as someone more accustomed to the slower pace of games and focusing more on Macro style. I no doubt have gotten worse at the game, I predicted about 2 divisions as of last season. But fuck man.... I really just can't even tell what elo I am anymore or what rank I am even playing in. Every game feels like a silver fiesta. Now I get gold is and has always been pretty shit.... but like.... it used to feel at least a little more competitive, fun, etc. And riot also messed up or just changed the player distributions of ranks this season so no doubt gold is even more silver than before. But idk.... I just feel like ranks no longer really have an identity. I mean obviously there a difference between diamond & gold or plat & silver. But hell I remember back even before I could reach gold seeing a difference between bronze & silver. Now I feel like the difference match making wise between these 3 crazy % of players tiers is really hard to see. I think it's just shit match making.

I am just going to have to accept solo queue will never really be as fun as it used to be. How can it? I can't even argue with you guys forcing games to be shorter as I do like it especially for the pro scene. But with how much damage and mobility you keep adding to the game there is no way solo queue will ever really truly be as fun as it used to be, at least as a solo player. On top of that its not like at least in the west your ever going to increase your player base..... and to keep queue times short you going to keep nerfing queue times which equals shittier match made games.

tl/dr, match making sucks, this game really is not worth ranking up in unless you hate your mental. Pro 5v5 worth watching though I feel bad saying it... but it pretty hype.

At least my old ass has Classic WoW to look forward to. [slayer-jinx-wink]
