Ranked Play Murdered By Boosters
Dear Mr. Rito,
I have a question. Do you have a realistic plan on keeping your ranked game play alive?
Please allow me to elaborate. Earlier this evening, I was indulging in some ranked queue, when I found myself matched up against players who are clearing swinging above my current Elo. It has become clearly evident that many members of the community have made quite the living for themselves by selling their skills. It's simple. They get paid to showcase their skills in games where the players they are up against are obviously not on the same skill level. This leads to an account that has gained rank much rapidly than the original owner was able to achieve.
While I have nothing against my people getting paid to do what they do best, I do believe that the popularity of their service is murdering your ranked game play. I for one have earned my rank. Be it only Silver II, I have practiced for seasons, and mastered champions, just to reach this rank. While it may not be high, I am proud to say that I feel that I am properly ranked. I also find great enjoyment when playing with and against evenly matched players. Unfortunately, most of my games are either bore fests, hard carried by a booster, or slaughter fests, getting demolished by a booster.
I sincerely hope that you have a plan, otherwise your ranked games will be filled with boosters at low elo, and unskilled players in high elo.
