Why don't you just delete Twisted Treeline ranked...

Superman IV··3 votes·1,348 views

Seriously, what's the point?

The ranked mode feels so carelessly done and is always an after thought. It's frustrating because it reflect exactly in the attitude of the player base towards the map. Most players on TT ranked are trolls and their logic is simple... "no one cares about Twisted Treeline".

Then you get a group shaming from all other 5 players in the game...because you're trying to win a TT ranked game -_-

After a while, it's hard to even blame the trolls... because they're right - Even riot doesn't cares much about TT ranked. So why not just remove it?

At this point it's not even bitterness, it's just I can't justify how the ranked mode makes any sense. It's borderline impossible that I am alone in my observations.

Who is the TT solo queue ranked map for? Other than trolls and experimenters? So why does it have to be ranked?

All you've created is a map where most players are frustrated, toxic, trolls and there is no competition... or even any real rules to encourage competition.

The rank on the map means nothing, or means very little to match making... I've played with/against players from iron to challenger. My rank means nothing most times.

This single point might be the most frustrating. SR, you can play past the trolls in silver and bronze if you get to gold. Then at least all you have to deal with are the "everyone is a pro" from gold to plat. Again once you get to Gold-Plat on that map, you won't have to worry about your teammates not knowing what dragon is. (or at least that would be a rare occurrence)

Why do I get asked what the TT vilemaw (spider) does every week or so...

On TT, you say okay I'll grind through it, get to plat...but every other game you're still playing with bronze, iron and unranked players. Was Mid Plat TT...and still pulling bronze on the regs...

  • Players that have no idea how the maps works
  • Players that are just here to troll because they need a break from SR
  • Players that wanna "try" TT for the first time and decided to do it in ranked
  • Players experimenting with champs. Doesn't make sense in SR ranked, so try it in ranked TT.

I really shouldn't be explaining what altars do every other game in ranked or why they should be capped...

You may think why not, get a buddy. As soon as you're duo on TT, the map immediately thinks it should match you against a full enemy team. Which means you just signed up for a handicap match 2v3, or you're hoping for a third that would work as well as a full team.

A full squad of 3 is the only other way to enjoy this map. Which I'd be fine with again, just make it that, know most players just won't play it, and at least the ones that play would treat it like ranked.

I wanted to present some solutions but it turned into a rant because I'm tired. I just played my first game for the day and just closed the game after. I also doubt I could present a solution someone from the billion dollar company hasn't thought of, or a solution someone from the forum hasn't mentioned. This map literally exhausts me after a single game on most days. On good days, maybe 2.

A good game happens every 10 games. This fact is the one that reminds me of when to quit. It's not worth it when logically reasoned. Why do I wanna play with yield of 1 or 2 good games per week...

Every time I get sucked back in again with URF...I guess that's all this game is good for now. Since I find SR too slow, and just don't enjoy it as much, and TT seems to be getting worse yearly.

because there's a playerbase for twisted treeline?

How many tho? It would be interesting to see the player count to compare game modes

obviously not as many as in SR but enough to keep the gamemode alive. only time i get queue times over 3 minutes is in the early mornings.

I know there's a player base. We all do - I'm speaking to a problem. It's small and it's dwindling. So small that at gold I often matched with diamonds, and iron and bronze is every other game.

The post isn't about the player base not existing. It about the lackluster effort or care for the map and that been progressing over the years. This, causes the player base to get smaller and more frustrated. I guess it won't be a problem until you have 20 minute timers.

-Asking Riot to remove content from the game What is your problem, do you just hate fun?

Superman IV1 votes

Read the title didn't read the rest?

My problem? Is exactly that I'm not having fun.

I'm trying to see partially if everyone else is having the time of their lives on TT ranked, or if I should just accept it as a testing ground and troll fort.

If you don't play TT and can't read posts, don't comment.

Cheers.

"My problem? Is exactly that I'm not having fun." Its not all about you, just because you don't have fun playing it doesnt mean that others cant have fun, and yes i play TT, actually one of my main mode since SR takes a long time

I play 3s ranked every day and I dont really run into the problems you explained that often, once you hit a certain elo just like in SR you will run into those things less and less. If anything I find people take it more seriously because of how condensed the game is and how specialized the playerbase becomes. But I agree matchmaking sucks balls, if Riot stopped disrespecting the mode and gave people incentives to play it that would be less of an issue as the playerbase would increase. I wish more people played 3s because imo 3s are a lot more fun because all the fun parts of league (teamfighting, dueling in lanes, fighting over objectives, constant back and forth) are happening all the time with no waiting like on SR. And the best part is that games only last 15-35 mins so you can get over a game way faster and not tilt as hard because its less of a time committment.

I agree with you, but I don't see how you don't run into the problem I mentioned often.

I logged back in today, played 2 games, dodged the last.

1 - Neeko said she had 6 FPS, didn't move from fountain. Just sat there telling us how Riot broke his game. He hasn't played in 3 weeks and decided to test out in ranked TT. We asked him to restart, lower resolution, do something....he just sat there and laughed at us. Uydr and I tried to hold out, started 2-0, but then enemy team realized it was 3v2. Game ended.

2 - Bronze 2 yi, died 11x in 19 minutes. Fed noct and xerath...game over.

3 - Queued up with the same yi...he said "we meet again", I dodged.

Done for today. I'll keep a log for you.

You mean normal Ranked? Everyone runs with CDR up their ass around, almost no one has mana issues, it is basically URF.
