Stop Making Ranked "Normals but Better"

Because it's attracting morons looking for free handouts.

The reason new people jump straight into ranked The reason people try new champs in ranked The reason people are asking me what bard shrines in ranked are, as they die senselessly The reason there's a problem balancing matchmaking The reason I just had an ADC tell me he was currently eating lunch as to why he was standing at the tower periodically

is because you've made ranked Normals but better. And I'm begging you to stop fucking doing this.

Ranked should be for climbing only. No Blue Essence, not Leveling, No Chests. Either play to test your skill, or go to Normals. So long as Riot fails to distinguish the two games, they'll have a substandard game.

People have always jumped straight into ranked. People have always tried new champs, and because humans are involved there has always been matchmaking problems. These are not new issues. Removing IP wouldn't have fixed it in the past, and removing BE won't fix it now.

And people say ELO hell isn't real

You don't see Diamonds sitting in base for 5 minutes to "finish my brisket"

Because 1 game alone does not Impend your ability to climb if the skill is there. Those folks in diamond all have had losses due to a teammate or player making the boneheaded non competitive decisions of things outside of the game and they still made it to diamond.

Also the odds are higher the other team will have that derp whos eating then your team unless your the derp who is eating.

No, they sit in base because they don't think their team should deserve diamond. Some diamond players literally have an int list, where they will feed in games if a certain player is on their team.

Every rank is elo hell. The only way out is to not play.

I have seen all that stuff from season 1 besides the bard shrines as he was not in the game. Saw folks who did not know annie could stun in ranked in s1 so if its a complaint about lack of knowledge on kits that's been here year 1.

How exactly is riot supposed to control players not taking a competitive ladder competitively?

Edit. your suggestion for be and leveling and chests, Your actively making the game more grindy for new accounts, this does not make ranked more serious it just makes ranked only friendly to older accounts with higher content.
