Dear Riot: Please take after Blizzard and Jeff Kaplan and listen to your community
Holy moly, I have never heard a more transparent - COMMUNITY BASED response from Riot like this.
Listen to what Jeff says in this, it's everything we want in League except they actually listen to their player base
A couple points:
-
He actually mentions top upvoted in Reddit. They don't pay Reddit mods to delete whatever they don't like (cough SoloQ threads). They listen and change it accordingly
-
He mentions how they are changing their entire ranked system to be MORE competitive because. THAT IS WHAT RANKED PLAYERS WANT and I quote "they want to see their skill, they want to know how their skill matches up against other players"
-
They are SHOWING when you are facing off against a premade, you don't have to guess
-
They are being incredibly transparent, they are actively listening to their community
-
They are giving rewards, to all players and making ranked feel like RANKED not who can get the best group of friends together
Seriously Riot, learn from Blizzard. Stop this insanity of never being able to admit your mistakes. Listen to your community. We are here giving you feedback because we care about the game YOU created, we thank you for that, we want to keep playing.

EDIT: I read the patch notes on Ranked Badges, and it IS a step in the right direction. Goodjob on that, let's work on getting the win % close to 50 now for Dynamic vs Solo Q
