Rank Play And Riot Is A Joke

Phenyxs··2 votes·829 views

Reason for headline? Rank play is so unmatched it isn't even funny. Every time it come to best out of 3 to advance I get knocked back down. Elo is hell. Struggling on how or what is going on. I get bottom falls 2 towers in 8 minutes, jg goes with Kog and 1 or 2 afk a game. Doesn't matter how good I play or the time put into studying and testing champs to fill each role I can not get over this hump. So I can only come to the conclusion that Riot Plays games with what they call Matchmaking which sucks and this game is about money to riot and Trolls or non skilled players think it is funny to be a moron in rank play. Now same situation goes for other modes as well but I am talking about rank. The other issue is picking order in rank. U see your possible counter and every champ has a counter and yet you decide to take a less skilled champ anyways because you are a moron and end up feeding 9 plus kills in the game. Explain that to me hoe that works. I would love to play just a hand full of champs but I cant because of the team sake in nature and as well as my possible counter could whoop the crap out of me so I or my team looses. So I pick a champ for one game to support the team and not think of my self. When will people understand that buying a champ and studying a champ and watching the rank queue in the corner and maybe test what there running or search on-line to make sure your running with a full tank and not being a moron. AKF-Stupid Picks-trolling-Bad Attitudes leads to WTF RIOT. Not only are your champs so unbalanced either to op or nerfed to all hell you have all these issues. And to submit a report is crap. Goes no where, So my frustration was long thought out before posting because I hate forums. I seen one for begging to have zed nerfed. lmao. It isn't the champ zed it is who plays them and how good they are and if zed is beating you up, you suck. Zed and Yas alone are 2 champs that just don't come in and snowball you in 5 minutes. You are giving these champs a reason to get strong. Hence-FEEDING. And don't get me wrong here about these players, I have bad games to and I make mistakes in game or I taunt a little to hard and a kill was granted. I will say and if video would prove if I play top, mid, jg I am ganked on hardcore and pick a champ it doesn't matter. Jg camps the corner and most times don't think I see them. And For me to get ganked is first 5 minutes of game play and follows thru unless another lane pushes harder. And the funny part is Jg when I ping wont come. Reason I am denied- they suck at jg, they don't like the counter and best if I handle it, or just don't come at all. So RIOT needs to tweak this and fast or my season is done before it started. I have put My money on here for personal reasons to get stuff and I really believe this is a scam and a joke. The laugh falls on me. Now I wont come back to hear a response or better yet what I see is people smart ass comments. I am posting a simple I see you fact of the nature of the game. Now walking away is always a option. Ask riot that. It is there favorite line when you bring to them about AFK or feeding and those natures. I was told walk away and take a break. That fixes what? Champs are broke, nature of the game is in need of tweaking and the nature of negative attitude is broke. So good luck to everyone in up coming season and hope your luck is better then mine has been.

Formatting, have you heard of it?

Also nobody cares about your low Elo QQ bullshit, just git gud and you'll climb the ranks. Over enough games you are the only consistent factor and you're just as likely to get bad teammates as the enemy team is(less likely if you're not bad yourself). The enemy team has 5 possible shitters while yours only has 4.

Well ranked is not really dependant on your skill if you dont have enough time to play like 30+ games a week lol.

Yes it is, stop pretending. You'll even out after 50-100 games. Even with only 10 games a week that only takes 5-10 weeks while a ranked season is ~40 weeks with a ~12 week preseason. Is it really that hard to play 1 game a day with 2 games for weekends? Even if you only play 5 games a week you'll get to your 'real' rating in half a season.

You have 650 ranked games in season 5 on your acc, that's more than enough to get to your rating. If you can't climb any higher it's probably because you're not good enough.

Im not pretending and Im not complaining that Im not higher than Gold... If I wanted to I would stop first or second timing whatever champ I feel like in ranked lol.

Put one diamond 5 guy in games with only plat 3 players or something like that. Can you guarantee that he will win every game? Of course not, he probably wont even win 60% of the games. But thats just one example of why the elo system doesnt really work for 5v5 games, at least not with people you have never seen or played with before.

Actually if he wins 60% of his games then the system works perfectly. A higher ranked player in the Elo system isn't supposed to win against a lower ranked one every time, the system calculates your possibility of winning depending on the Elo gap.

Yeah it works if you play enough games

I have never been in bronze 5 but I am sure you get some pretty bad teammates. Good news is so does the enemy team. I am assuming this is your main account and you hit 30 not too long ago and started rank right away?

For this game having basic concepts it is actually pretty complex. There are so many champions and players it is hard to know what you will see game to game. The only thing you can do is focus on yourself and get better. The good news is, once you can focus on yourself and your own mistakes you will start to grow and become a better player. Once you do that your rank will rise as you will start to carry games and not have to worry so much about your teammates.

They did add promo helper to preseason and will most likely keep it through season 6. It does make climbing a little nicer as if you get back into a series that you previously failed or were demoted from then you only need 1 win to advance rather than two.

In the end, League's ranked system is not perfect but it is pretty good. To climb, its all about self reflection and perseverance.

Always love these rants that end with something like this:

"Now I wont come back to hear a response or better yet what I see is people smart ass comments."

29 characters played, 3 with over 50% win rate, and 1 with over 50% in your top 10 played. Pick 5 champs, get good with them in normals, then start playing ranked. It isn't your teammates, it is you. You can't average 2-6-4 on Yasuo and win games; he is a hyper carry, so it is get fed or get rekt and you've been getting rekt.

OP to put it simply you can only blame yourself.

Bronze and silver are literally a joke if you are any good at the game. At bronze 5,I could probably 1v4. As low as bronze 1 I had people who would walk into skillshot or stand there not noticing I was attacking them. If I got fed on a strong duelist, I could literally get free kills by standing anywhere in vision at low HP and every minute or so someone 4 levels below me with half an item would try to kill me and die.

I'm not gonna read your whole post, but all you have are excuses and reasons to put off the blame. Get over yourself.
