Love seeing people have tier difference in role ranks

/s. I get this is like the whole point of the new system to let people who suck ass at one role compared to another have a chance to like learn it at a lower elo. I personally think it's a dumb idea but.... I get there are pros to it. But I literally makes me LOL when I see someone in my game do so ungodly terrible you think "wow this person must actually be that new iron rank". Then you look it up and see there like almost a tier higher rank than me in one role, but like slightly lower rank in another. lmao... I just can't imagine playing 1 role literally 2-3 tiers lower rank than another. I know I am low elo so... it kinda makes sense skill discrepancy can't be that much worse but fuck... this person also low elo lol. I've seen it a lot too sadly I guess it just newer players that haven't played forever like me. o well.

All this new system going to do at the end of the day is show how dumb ranked really is. Most people going to be about the same rank in multiple roles while others will be like 1 tier higher in 1 role and others. But like... are we supposed to be impressed by that? I personally am not... but I already know that's how ranked works. Once you get to higher elos most of it is just people maining 1 role with a couple champs. Get them off those champs or that role and they struggle even multiple tiers lower. Other players are more well rounded, but they usually been playing since like season 1 or 2. Those players are more impressive to me honestly.

Idk... just think new system has pros but ultimately still shows more of what most of us have always known while (ranked really only shows how good most players are with 1 role and a couple champs both in old & new system) just adding on more of a grind for players without much gain. Match making hasn't gotten better...... so that argument is out the window. So really it just more grinding... for not much gain.

New ranked system has nothing to do with impressing anyone. It simply was to fix the fact that the community as a whole simply could not play all 5 roles well enough for the old system to work. Autofill games were unplayable because of skill level discrepancy so riot was forced to act.

The new ranked system isn't necessarily good per say, the community was just too bad to make the old system work.

Has it really even helped though? I mean it is early season so match making always bad. But I haven't noticed at difference at all. Almost every game feels completely one sided. I get what they going for but unless people are prepared to play hundreds of games on each role it's never going to work out. And let's face it... even in high elo people aren't going to play hundreds of games in off roles for most part so its still not going to result in great match making. Just a longer climb for people who actually play more than one role.

It is better than doing nothing. Eventually, players will play enough games for it to matter.

Not sure they will. Some will..... but there are a lot of players who don't play that much. More than you think actually.

Don’t need everyone to, the community as a whole just has to keep playing and unless the server shuts down in the next month, that is guarenteed to happen.
