The art team knows more about 'Balance' than anyone else at Riot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzgLBS5_u0Y&t=0m16s I honestly find it more depressing that the art team are the real ones who know about balance.
Like bruh, everyone can relate to pre-reworked akali. I have no idea what's the coding behind matchmaking but its pure trash. As for the balance team... don't get me started on these idiots.

maybe now he’s good but pre buff mobalytics put him B tier

Not every champion can be A-tier. B-tier probably isn't in need of a buff when there are C and D-tier champions out there.

Half the time a champion in F tier is a sleeper pick. Hell, pre pre rework eve was intentionally gutted to be unplayable to the point where people reported you for even playing her, and a few months later turns out she was still broken. Pre rework raka was also considered useless, turns out she was top tier sleeper and proceeded to get numerous nerfs pretty much a year straight then reworked.

The fact that this is not on Memes and Games is just another reason to why we should remove the Gameplay Boards

Woops, I thought it was in story arts and sounds. Must've miss-clicked.

Wow. How rude of you. Don't elo shame and attack him for his rank. The mods don't tolerate that.

Everyone has an opinion that deserves to be heard, regardless of their elo.

Disembark7 votes

So what is his opinion here? Memey quotes from design team = balance is shit and matchmaking is shit?

How did he come to this conclusion? Does he provide ANY actual tangible points of discussion? Or is this just another shit post made on boards upvoted because "reeeee matchmaking/balance holding me back".

If you made a shitpost thread, you deserve to get a shitpost response.

He makes no actual points besides "matchmaking is shit" - which I'll agree on. It's definitely shit considering someone with 33% win rate who is obviously disgustingly overranked is still ruining games for other Silver 5 players.

I'm just using actual evidence to backup his point.

Also "balance team are idiots". Yeah, they're idiots becuase they're not in silver and actually balance around people who know how to play the game. What a shame.

It's called being a decent human being and not attacking others, regardless of facts/conclusions/if he has any arguments to back things up.

You DON'T. ELO. SHAME.

Be respectful.

Disembark4 votes

Don’t see you telling OP to be respectful when he’s calling balance team idiots.

Also I’m also allowed to have an opinion. My opinion is this: low elo players usually have no clue what they’re talking about because they haven’t invested the time in the game or just don’t understand it at a high enough level.

Also my opinion is that elo shaming is GOOD. That’s my opinion tho.

SnugglePuggle943 votes

Regardless of what the OP is saying, the balance team is questionable with their choices, and yes he should not be calling them idiots.

Anyhow, elo shaming is bad and is offensive to others. The mods also don't like it either on here. There are a lot of lower elo players that DO understand the game. Not all but some, and it's disrespectful to attack them verbally.

At least you admit youre hypocritical.

SnugglePuggle941 votes

I never admitted to anything. You guys need to learn the concept of elo shaming.

Disembark1 votes

Nope, elo shaming is good. I thought I was allowed to have an opinion?

SnugglePuggle941 votes

Excuse me? You are allowed to have an opinion, but don't use it to attack others. Elo shaming is disrespectful and is verbally attacking others.

It is bad, period.

Good Lord.

[zombie-brand-facepalm]

Disembark1 votes

“It is bad, period”. That’s your opinion though.

My opinion is different. Also I’m feeling verbally attacked by you.

SnugglePuggle941 votes

Oh good Lord. I have said nothing of the sort to attack you.

And no, it's not my opinion. It's actually the truth for everyone- attacking someone for their rank is bad. If you don't realize what you are doing is wrong....man I just am going to shake my head and wonder if your parents brought you up right.

And I am going to walk away now as well. Goodbye.

While i dislike rank shaming, if someone is dumb enough to insult the balance team so brazenly and claim matchmaking is terrible, its fair to call them out on it.

SnugglePuggle941 votes

You can tell them they are wrong without shaming them for their elo. Sheesh.

Z3Sleeper3 votes

I don't see any ELO shaming, all I see here is a guy posting statistical evidence to support the OP's claim that matchmaking is flawed.

Only reason you'd take it as shaming is if you think it's shameful to be that rank or have that winrate, which would be highly hypocritical given your stance on the matter. So tell me, how do you deduce that this is ELO shaming?

SnugglePuggle943 votes

I am not being hypocritical. You guys don't understand the concept of elo "shaming."

Also considered as attacking others based on their elo for the only reason of thinking that they don't know what they are talking about. That's rude and offensive. He's attacking the guy for his thread based on since he's low elo, then he doesn't know what he's talking about and his thoughts are useless.

I don't think that at all. Everyone's opinion matters, regardless of rank and it's mean to abuse people like this.

Z3Sleeper1 votes

Mmm no, he's saying with that low a winrate the system still has him in the same elo. It's a part of the discussion by being vital evidence that brings justification to the OP's complaint.

I don't see any shaming going on. He didn't call him bad or anything. He simply said he has a 33% winrate in Silver and that means he should be lower than he is but due to the current system he still holds Silver.

It's just facts and evidence.
