Season 5 Suggestions on Improving League of Legends Experience
When it comes to 'Ranked' every one of us changes. No matter how easy going we are in 'Normals' as soon as we enter 'Ranked' match we want to win. Sadly, there are issues I have to battle every day and I would like to suggest a few things to improve this wonderful (at times toxic) game:
i) I HATE the fact that team gains an automatic loss even if the teammate is AFK from the start of the game. What I suggest is to implement an option where your team can vote to reset your round (under 5-10 minutes) and put you into a random queue. The reason I don't involve a vote from the opposing team because let's be real, there is no Honor in Ranked, and we will all use an opportunity to win an easy one. Nobody enjoys an automatic 18 LP loss.
ii) Players shouldn't be allowed to play a champion in a Ranked match unless they have WON 10 matches with him/her in normals. Harsh, but saves headache. Better than reading "First time Lee Sin".
iii) Playes who have an overall winrate of 45% should not be allowed in Plat and Higher Ranked (there are too many Plat 5 and Diamond 5 accounts are bought). They could fix it by making full wins with champions on idea number two. (OR suggest better)
iv) Game needs to detect poor connectivity and give the player two warnings on his/her screen indicating that their ping is TOO HIGH before allowing them in Ranked. If the player chooses to continue, s/he should have a little Lightning symbol beside their name indicating that this person has poor connectivity. This way another player can chose to dodge and avoid the trouble.
v) Free Daily Dodges - Currently, the dodge system is silly. You are in a round during promos, your League client glitched out and you are unable to pick a champion nor click anything. You are forced to dodge, get a penalty, and my favourite: LOSE A PROMO ROUND. I suggest that every 24 hours Players from Bronze-Gold earn maximum of two free dodges, while Players Plat and higher earn 3 (This rule only comes to Ranked. Regular dodge system still applies to Normals and after the Daily Dodges been used). Having free daily Ranked dodges will assure less headache, no IP loss, and no giant timer when your Client decided to disconnect you. Also, it would be great to use such dodges when you feel that the round will not go so well.
vi) PLEASE the Great Staff of Riot roundup the 99. Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you played a 40 minute round just to see 99LP? Don't you die inside at the fact that you have to do another 40 minute mentally and skill exhausting round? Because I do. There is no reason for a player to do 40 minute round to win 1 LP or have a chance to lose 16-22 LP. I feel like it would be fair to round up 97-99 LP into a 100, because if the player doesn't deserve a promo, he will lose it either way.
BONUS: The Mysterious LP Gain/Loss - Picture this: You are on a winning streak. Let's say 5 rounds in a row where you won around 21-24 LP per round. Your 6th round is a loss of merely 16 points. You've decided to call it a night, have a great rest, and get back into the game approximately 12-14 hours later. This time, you win a round and gain 17 points (Okkkay?) and you lose 21 points (Wh...at?! HOW?! WHY?). RIOT, I beg you, this been happening since Season 5 and every patch it is getting worse. Is it possible to fix it?
Thank you for your time Love, ZeeWolfz
