Getting unrankeds in silver 1 games
Good morning fellow League players I know some of you may think Silver pretty much is the same as unranked but hear me out please... Currently I am @ silver 1. Recently getting a lot of unranked players in my games. Its frustrating. I've taken my time to perfect my understanding of only few champions. I main Shyvanna, 300+ ranked games with that champion. So I know when I hit my power spikes I know from which champions I can escape while split pushing (Btw best tactic for low elo), trying to play smart so I can climb. In Silver there is a HUGE HUGE gap between player decision making capabilities. This season I've played over 600 games in Silver so I think I can objectively make such a statement. Silver player decision making is NOW WAY perfect but 50% of the time enough to not die 10 times @15min or know that you have to build defensive when behind or for the support to actually buy a Sight stone. It only takes to have that one YOLO player for the game to be un-winable 9/10 times I am Silver 1 (top 33%). Average player is Silver 3 with 11 LP (top 50%). Lets take a bit of time to think about it.
STATISTICALLY SAME AMOUNT OF PLAYERS Silver 3; 2; 1...............................Bronze 5; 4; 3; 2; 1 Gold 5; 4; 3; 2; 1 .......................Silver 5; 4; Platinum 5; 4; 3; 2; 1 Diamond 5; 4; 3; 2; 1 Master Challenger
I've finally managed to get to my Gold promos and I get unranked players in my games. Its really tilting. I am no way good enough to carry games when 4vs6. It looses the competitive side of this game when you get players who play rankeds for the first time. It seems that the current ranking system favors high elo players who want to make a smurf and climb fast but even they CANT CARRY EVERY GAME. You can climb fast only if you are new to the ranked system. Last placement matches I went 8/10 and was placed in Bronze 4, finished last season in S3. Statistically it was a drop from top 50% to top 94%. Quite the drop dont you think?
So I would like to politely ask to tweak the ranking system a bit for us the low elo ppl. For example take into consideration the amount of played ranked games in the current elo when matchmaking. Matching unranked players with the top 70% but rate the players CS as well when giving final placement.
