Ranked placement and the climb
I contacted your support group about the way you all place people into their respective ranks. And about progression through the season. I was told it was a team-based game, so it goes by how your team plays. I understand slightly why you all do that. But I don’t understand how the system for climbing will help you get to the tier you should be at. If I get constant master performances and my team still loses; then my LP will never reflect my individual skill. Not even remotely. It’s like looking at someone’s win rate for a champion, and then not caring about how they did during those games. And I still don’t really understand how you can place someone without their individual performance being put into account in the first place. I feel that you all place people too dependent on their past ranks as well. A new season should be a fresh start. Not a burden to have to climb even farther than the season before. I know it’s hard to change the system to include something as broad as the individual performance. But the game just isn’t really fair at all without it in my opinion. With my individual performance over the last 20 games I’m high up gold, maybe platinum. And I’m stuck in bronze 4 right now. I just don’t have the time to be playing for multiple hours to maybe climb one tier. Maybe you all could implement something like a challenge to gain more LP by facing a team with higher ranked people? I feel my skill is above most players in bronze except the ones who shouldn’t be bronze. They call it elo hell, and I understand why. It’s because there are a lot of players that shouldn’t be there that seem to be dragged down by the players who should. The support woman told me you’re the only constant in your game. So playing better is the only way to climb. But when your whole team is the deciding factor; it makes it very taboo as to whether or not you can. I don’t want to be the person to blame the system and the rest of my team. But it seems that they decide where I place more than I do individually. I don’t feel it’s right. Any other good ideas would be greatly appreciated for LP acquisition and placement. But individual performance is the best idea in my eyes. Because when/if you get to higher tiers you could still carry or be carried by the system with the way it is now. And I think individual performance is the key to a fair game. Thanks a lot for your time. Have fun and good luck!
