Grades and ranked

Rozair··8 votes·1,167 views

Riot has implemented a grading system for seeing how well you did in a game. They also have dynamic queue. Because of dynamic queue it's impossible to receive and actually accurate rank because you can just play with your really good friends and meanwhile you suck and somehow get up to diamond. You can effectively get an s+ every game and lose every game and you still lose rank. Getting an so in a game is am achievement and even more so if you lost. I think that the elo system should be scrapped and the grading system should determine a players rank. (It's much more difficult to get am s when playing with players who are at your skill). This would put an end to elo boosting and being carried permanently.

the grading system needs to be a bit more sophisticated than it is. there needs to be a greater emphasis and more accurate measuring on assists, objectives like dragon and baron, and ward control.

The elo system is more unacurate than the grading system as of now no?

no way i didn't say that. i can't stand the ranking system, i refuse to even play ranked. there's multiple reasons, but i think it's silly the game can't just match you against like-skilled players. since it's an e-sport, there's all these people interested in cheating the game. that's compounded by a gated tier system that's designed to keep players in stasis in their current rank. there's so much wrong with it i can't even confront it logically, i just stick to normals. lol

i agree with your idea but the grade ranking mechanics could be more sophisticated.

Yea the grading system could definitely use some work as well but if they did make it more accurate then there's no reason why they couldn't change raked to reflect your grade

No, not even close. The elo system might be inaccurate for what people perceive it should be measuring, but it really isn't for what Riot wants it to measure.

The grading system on the other hand is still all over the place.

k, if I'm 10-0 but my team is getting rekt I'll just AFK at base to preserve my potential A or S rather than help my team.

you can still get A or S even if you lose.

why would I risk lowering my KDA if I'm already 10-0 and guaranteed to get an A or S if I just stay in base?

Correct me if im wrong, but KDA impacts your grade less than your gold per minute and creep score

Your gold is a direct relation to your grade. So towers affect it too.

If you sit in the base your creep score will decay your grade

That's what I'm saying

This isn't a problem if you are the 22/3 carry in the 5-man [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Rip trying to get to the next rank quickly with these guys.
