The game is dying
The game is dying and it is seen more and more as riot only look at pro play now and discludes all of the other player base it shows through their matchmaking system as well as their quality of updates since all of them are tailored towards the pro play and only that and nothing else is taken into account at all, the matchmaking system is just shambles fully when a low gold/high silver gets matched with diamonds/ high plats in ranked yeah that's fair fully and not even for 1 game in every 10-20 but like 40-50% of the time, you say you make it fair yet you prove with nothing so by my guess the game will die in the next few years and tbh seems a lot of people will be happy that it will happen as you are only tailoring your game to a niche audience and discount the rest. Additionally you add new game modes instead of focusing on what you say and in the clash from the alpha test seems that has more fair matchmaking than your whole system of mmr, and the mmr system is just stupid since it should have been based of rank not of if you have a bad run of games or a good one as then people could climb and not be fucked over by your matchmaking and never achieve the rank that they are capable of getting but can't because of your system
