Imo rankeds MMR should always overwrite normal MMR (if it's higher).

Dr PoroJul 20, 20151 votes

Not overwrite, but atleast influence it.

And what would happen when I want to try a new role, a new champ or both?

SaiannaJul 20, 20151 votes

And what if golds & plats play against unrankeds cause normal/ranked MMR has troll'y design?

Considering you already know how to play, you can always try new champ in co-op then further polish your skills in normals ;)

They still get their ip, I don't see what's wrong?

Being plats doesn't automatically make you good at everything you do.

I haven't played adc since silver and if I start playing one now, I will be playing at the skill of a silver. Other silver/unranked should have a fair chance.

It's because Ranked and Normal MMR are separate, and a lot of people that play Ranked often rarely do Normals so their MMR there is considerably different. The best way to get a closely matched game is by playing a lot of Ranked (it's unlikely someone gets to very high skill level in Normal and is really shit MMR in ranked).

Go play ranked if you care so much about balanced games. Normals are for fun. Maybe you'll learn something from the players that are better than you.

um 3rd party tool anyone.....

Roll in GrassJul 19, 201510 votes

Is there a problem with that? 3rd party tools aren't a bannable offense unless they give an unfair advantage, which this doesn't, both because it's not directly effecting the game and everyone can use it.

It's not even a 3rd party tool, it's just www.lolskill.net

And actually any kind of 3rd party tool is against the EULA, section 3, bullet point E,

"E. Use any unauthorized third-party programs that interact with the Software in any way, including but not limited to, “mods,” “hacks,” “cheats,” “scripts,” “bots,” “trainers,” or automation programs, or any third-party programs that intercept, emulate or redirect any communication between the Software and Riot Games, or that collect information about the Game by reading areas of memory used by the Software to store information about the Game."

Then why isn't using Curse Voice bannable?

RogueWillJul 19, 20151 votes

I would guess because Curse pays lol for publicity and such

R110Jul 19, 20153 votes

Because it only is a voice communication tool, similar to how using skype isn't bannable.

RIP Tahm KenchJul 19, 20152 votes

Riot's beef with Curse Voice back when they determined it to be bannable was back when it automatically sent voice chat invites to your teammates and gave ultimate, buff, and drag timers. These were considered "automation" programs and thus Curse Voice had to remove the features; Riot's stance was if one side had voice chat in a pub match they had a strict advantage. So they banned it by adding this clause to the EULA.

Riot released an API specifically so that people could create third-party tools that interact with their software.

For usage by websites to organize and display the data gathered by their own servers. I honestly don't think having a plugin (read: injector) to do something like my brother has which is to replace the loading screen with stats of every player's champions is allowed. There's even a section explaining that while their game is running they are doing constant checks of your RAM for any programs that tamper with the game.

Its normals.
There are only 2 smites in a game? AND someone thought LeBlanc was worth a ban during this patch? What?
Thats from 2014?

Roll in GrassJul 20, 20151 votes

This isn't from 2014 this is only a couple days ago. I posted this the day the game was played. That "2014" is from my LMQ 2014 Icon, which you can see on the boards by my name.

Ether way normal game normal life. Plat players aren't gods specially in normal games. Here's a very very similar situation and all the plat players lost.

i once played with a challenger when i was still silver and he hasnt played a single normal game for over a year...

its just the normal vs ranked elo thing that got you into this

B3ERJul 19, 20151 votes

Hi, we at Riot games don't really care because we know you're gonna keep playing. Sure a few people have left but we get more players than we lose. Suck it!

BigPooStormJul 19, 20151 votes

It's as simple as making ranked MMR affect normal MMR, but not the other way around. When I play with my friends who are in bronze/silver, we always go up against teams with diamond + platinum and they get absolutely crushed.

The Virgin PerryJul 19, 20151 votes

Yesterday I was playing a normal blind pick game with my friend who was level 11, and I'm only a bronze 3 player. We had two golds on our team. You can check my match history lol.

The Queen ViperJul 20, 20151 votes

They are called NORMAL GAMES for a reason.

s LessThanThreeJul 20, 20151 votes

It's f*ckin normals. Go play ranked. Normal MMR is completely different from ranked mmr. I didn't play norms until I was plat 5. Then went in and fought a bunch of silvers and bronzes and stomped for 10 games til my mmr rose. It's what happens.
