Ever wonder why it's so hard to climb?
Ever wonder why it is hard to climb? Ever ask yourself if it's the game or if something else to blame for when you can solo carry your lane but your team feeds? Ever have a game where you fed but your team carried you? Yes to all of these and i think i know why. Riot has a system i am sure is in place and whether intentionally or not i am unaware but lets say for a moment that as you climb in each game, the closer you are to progressing into a higher league the more feeders and tilted people you come across. This has been mine and many other people experience. High Elo, you don't rarely ever experience it because your forced to play by riot any way thus causing them to not have issue with you. Now, imagine Riot forcing everyone to play because everyone is in High Elo. A lot harder to pull off. More accounts more to monitor. Low Elo who rank don't want to be Low Elo. They want to challenge the game and play against better people. They want to lose games or win games not because of PLAYER knowledge or bad players on their team, but rather lose because of the team as a whole just not doing the right things as a team. So, Riot, in my theory makes the teams highly unbalanced when you are in or close to your promos from time to time and gives you glimpses of winning or light in even match ups to keep you thinking that you will eventually climb. And yes you will eventually climb, but, your will only do so if you play the game as long as riot needs you to play to keep them popular and relevant. Play more often and you will climb and notice as well that your teams are less chaotic and more balanced, play less time and you wont climb at all. High Elo, your not included in this because you are forced to play anyway. Because games don't die do to new mechanics and or anything of that nature. Games die when people leave. And Riot has found a way using new rank rewards each and every season to keep people hooked.
