When the world proves you righr about Gameplay

Yesterday I put up a long post detailing how so many players are frustrated with how often early snowballing decides a game by 8-10 minutes and the next 10 are a waste of time. Lets just say it was met with hostility.

And then I went home and won a 5v5 in about 12:15.

It's great when the world proves you right

Why is that a problem? If a team is obviously better and gets lead early, they obviously deserve easy victory. Why waste time against inferior team?

The problem is that a large number of games are decided so quickly. A win is barely satisfying if you spend 10:00 waiting for them to \ff. For the losing team, it's even worse.

Who really wants to spend 10 minutes in queue (I actually topped out at 12:30 last night) just to play a game that's over 8 minutes after minions meet and then be stuck getting pounded for 10 minutes with no hope of a comeback

Are u playing ranked or just normals? Because in my case most of ranked games in my elo are often pretty even and full of comebacks and turnarrounds

Almost half of my ranked games have at least one afk in them.

I mostly play normals this patch. Not that it matters, because either one should be enjoyable

It matters, cause skill difference is almost always huge in normals. Very rarely are u gonna be facing people of your own skill level. Either you outskill them by far or they outskill u by far.

Like there's NOT a huge skill disparity between two tiers? The difference between a Silver 5 and a Gold 1 is MASSIVE. The difference between a gold 5 and a plat 1 is almost as big

Just because the gangplank wasn't playing for whatever reason doesn't mean you are any better than the other players. Just keep that in mind whenever you go on some rant about how players suck with other champions; not every summoner is the same. Everyone has their own little quirks and bugs that they need to fix or get better at.

That Gangplank rage quit after the score went to 8-0 or so.

And the point here is that it's NOT about skill. There has been a long line of balance changes that make games snowball in an instant. Just because you were the first guy out of 10 to make a bad play doesn't mean you and the other 4 on your team deserve to lose the game

This game does take some skill. You may have your opinion but you can't deny the fact that you need to learn the times extensively and play champions often to 'get gud'.

And to what you said above this about there being skill gaps, I feel there really are no skill gaps in this game. You just need to keep learning and developing your own tactics to become a better summoner. No amount of masteries or runes can save the fact that you don't know how to play.
