if you are low elo do NOT play ranked right now

there are a bunch of reasons but i will name the main ones

  1. chaos. right now the botlane is a complete mess. as we see from higher elo games, adcs are almost none existant right now. ppl play everything in bot, from 2 sups, fulltanks, bruisers and ap dudes. so noone in bronze knows what to play or why to play it aaaand a ton of idiots will cry "omfg fucking troll" if you dont play adc. because in low elo antimeta = troll. its just a thing. you can go 20/0 and yet your teammates might call you troll.

  2. average game time right now the average game ends at 26minutes. in bronze people dont know how to close the game when ahead. i myself saw games (also thanks to kshaway) where a team had 48 kills at 17min and the game lasted almost 100 minutes. and btw... the team that was 48/13 at the 17min mark lost. with games being over so fast right now, you might just waste time on a lost game. or on a won game that you lose.

these are the 2 main reasons in my opinion why right now you really should stay away from ranked if you are low elo. people have no idea whats going on and what to play or how to play it.

Agree wholeheartedly especially with these jungle/scuttle changes.

my last 4 games was like this: we get 100 kills enemy 0. 10 mins later does one of us a really, really small mistake. wich led to a comeback somehow for the enemy. then same thing happned to me. my team get hard stomped one of the enemy does a really small mistake wich led a comeback for us.....

Doesn't have to do anything with the state of the game. Meta barely affects low elo, and you could always be carrying game as MasterYi Yasuo Vladimir Cassiopeia Katarina botlane...

Most people playing "meta shit" in low elo are just bronzies korea fanboys. Most of the time they just suck (yes I've seen Nunu Karthus strat in a bronze game. Nunu kept last hitting monsters and was ahead while Karthus was the "boosted" one...)

Idk what rank you're at OP, but I still see mostly ADC lanes. Sometimes I see kill lanes/bruisers, but for the most part I'm still seeing traditional bot lanes. And why does it matter even if it's non-traditional champs in the lane? Bronze is bronze regardless of the meta or lack therof. You make it sound like bronzies normally know what they're doing lol.

And what's so bad about games ending quick? I'd much rather play two games an hour than one.

One big thing you're forgetting OP is that technically you should always be greater than 50% winrate if you aren't in the depths of bronze. You can't control the randomness of the other 4 people on your team, or the people you aren't laning against on the other team. But you can control what YOU do, and influence how your opposing laner does. So if you aren't doing trashy you should be able to positively influence and win games.
