Reset Ranked as if the season restarted

Håppy··1 votes·1,482 views

I'm actually fucking aghast at how awful season nine is. This provisional ranked system is complete and utter doodoo. I don't know WHAT the fuck the main contributing factor is (trolling when off-role, general trolling, skewed MMR, whatever), but something is really fucking off. How do I know this?

I'm sitting at a 29% winrate in gold 2.

I'm unable to demote, I know this because I've been at -1 LP for a while now and despite 4 ranked losses in a row, there's been no demotion. I'm randomly paired with anywhere from plat 2 players to silver 2 players. I'm in the elo dumpster, it's either "smurfs" that won't stop typing about how good they are while tower diving level 2, or actual first-time ranked players. I've held an over-60% winrate in ranked the past three years, THREE YEARS of 60%+ winrate. What, did I just suddenly become complete and utter guttertrash from the end of season 8 to now? I can go in to a normal game and wreck face as something as off-meta as AP Udyr, but the moment I set foot in to ranked queues I get juggled around like the fifth ball in a circus act, I just don't get it. And I'm very very confident that it has something to do with the provisional role ranks, and how the entire game got destroyed over it.

I repeat.

From 60%+ winrate to 29% winrate. From being able to reliably play the game to slogging through toxic rage and first-timers. From gold 2 to gold 2 because I can't even demote for some reason, I'm literally hardstuck. Like, I can't go backwards or forwards. I'm just stuck here. Help me, please, I'm in limbo, and the only way to save me is to restart the entire season, otherwise I have to make a new account just to play ranked, and I don't smurf out of fucking PRIDE in my account.

Okay that made me laugh. I really hope you're shitposting right now because if you're actually delusional enough to think this is an external factor's fault then I think you should find a different game to play or just quit ranked completely because your mental needs severe improvement.

You're right, I must have suddenly become utter garbage at the game, but exclusively in ranked... My man, this is an external factor.

Hey I think I was in your lobby like an hour ago, but then someone dodged and I guess we never saw each other again.

Yeah, I saw you and was pretty excited to play! That wasn't to be, and I wound up going down.. down.. down further

Came back to comment on another comment and then read OP title again... Why shouldn't season restart when they are making drastic changes like disabling all position ranked queues. That shifted my ranks around... albeit it I went up in ranks but still seems not right to do.

Yeah. Like, the whole first quarter of this season was on a new type of ranked system that wound up not working, causing people to troll games and ruin peoples' experiences, now we're switching back to the old one.. but not resetting to give people another shot without the trolls? Yeah, sure, some people benefitted off of this, they got a good roll on teams. But that doesn't hold true for everyone.

Hey jus read first paragraph but yes ranked system as always been.... not the best... it will grab a wide range of player skills... somehow it wants you to get 100% headshots, oh wait this game doesn't work like that, you'll have to figure out a way to carry that unranked player you just got in Gold Ranked game. xD its ruff I know. Would love a variable setting of player skill to which u would accept yourself for gameplay. But spam teamwork pings... you'll get their attention.
