My problem with Ranked (its different I promise). Riot please tell me what our differences are.
Hey guys, so first off, I am a Solo Player who hasnt really seen that big of a difference between the new and old ranked queue (besides the obvious wanna be lcs teams who lane swap and ruin my day). But that isnt my problem, the BIG problem with the new ranked queue in the large scope is that nobody cares about your ranking anymore. Meaning that even if you get high in challenger, no pro team is going to say "HOLY SHIT THIS GUY IS A MONSTER." They are more likely not going to care because the ranked ladder doesnt mean anything to them. To me the ranked queue is supposed to accomplish 3 major goals:
-
provide fair, balanced, and competitive games for all ranks
-
provide a ladder that is accurate enough to tell who the best players/teams are
-
and to show your improvement or deterioration over time. As well as a reason for you to get better (ranks, rewards, etc.)
As of now Dynamic Queue in low elo is fine. But in high elo (diamond up, and even high plat) I dont think the queue does any of these points, You dont get anything for being in the highest elos besides a border and a skin. The rank doesnt mean anything because nobody cares if you were Masters in the Dynamic Queue ladder. The main point I'm trying to say is that right now the ranked system is flawed in that nobody cares about it, and it therefore IS NOT COMPETITIVE. And for a competitive queue to not be competitive is a major flaw. I dont know if I put my thoughts out there the right way, or if I look like a complete idiot, but I know that right now ranked has lost the same meaning as before. I dont know what Riot can do to fix it, I'm just saying the things I see is wrong in it. Thanks, ADR
