The future of ranked in league of legends

Lezo··2 votes·480 views

We all know league is a team game, we all know league is a very hard game. So why do we allow those who can't handle the game to play it at a higher level? Reaching level 30 is far below on what should be required. ranked isn't a playground, it's made for people who actually want a challenge. It's made for people who wanna grow. If I get into a lobby and lose the game because of a deadweight or a troll. That means something is wrong! If you want people to stop being toxic and you want the community to be more friendly. then stop putting the children in the same play pin as the ADULTS. We have game history we have gameplay recording we HAVE a way to check your stats for the YEAR. There has to a way to filter out the decent from the bad. Ranked should be a mode that is earned through hard work and harnessing your skills to a point where you are able to be a decent teammate. Not only would that make the trolls dissapear because they would have to complete task in order just to play but it'll make the people in ranked more humble for the game mode that they are playing, because right now we're sending solidiers into war without evaluation. I'm not saying just trash all the bad players because league isn't all about skill right, but guess what, ranked is. Ranked should be seen from the outside as a royal mode that not everyone can do. It would make players playing more respectful, dedicated, and motivated to get better. Could even add a practice version of ranked mode to keep the challengers that are not at there peak yet busy and determined. Sorry I know i'm ranting and probably sounding like an (A) hole but you can not say i'm not touching some good points here. I know my idea isn't full but you get the direction i'm going in. You can see that this could be a good move forward. So, are we going to just stand here or are we going to move because I rather move an inch in the right direction then not move at all.

There is this thing called a "bad game"

It is this thing where you do crappily, for no apparent reason, or reasons out of your control. For example, as a Nocturne jng, Darius stole my first camp. I'm not a great jngler, so I was 2ish levels behind for a good part of the game. I stayed in the jng a lot, and got griped at a lot for not ganking. I have gone 2/7/2 on my main champion before. It doesn't happen a lot, but sometimes you just meet a dude that's straight up better than you.

If they are trolling, that sucks, and they should be punished. But going 5/12 is not trolling. They are obviously trying, or they would be 0/12. Even the dudes that go 0/12 might not be trolling, they might just suck at the game, or their opponent might be a god, and they didn't figure that out soon enough.

you do not understand what ranked is.

ranked is not "the higher level of play". it is the filter that separates the decent from the bad.

the higher level of play is gold, platinum and above; the bad are the bronze.

you get the team mates that you've earned. If you're bronze, you've earned the bad ones.

You should start by not playing ranked yourself then

silver 3 with an average CS of 150 on all champions... you are the one holding back your team

There shouldn't be any minimum skill level for ranked, because there is a right ELO for everyone. The only change that needs to be made is somehow getting people into the right ELO more quickly. Perhaps use normal MMR as a starting point. Starting everyone in mid-high silver makes mid-high silver a mess.

You're silver 3, that's literally one of the lowest levels of play. No idea what you're going on about.
