Position Rank fucks so many players over.

majorminer08··1 votes·1,202 views

So what you're telling me is that because I don't main one singular role and play all 5 roles occasionally but I don't ever fill that I'm going to rank up 5 times slower because there's no longer an overall rank based on your overall skill. So either I start exclusively playing two roles (That are similar to eachother so they get increased "splash lp". mind you. Fuck those of you who play Support and Top mostly.) or I use fill to randomly decide my role when I only feel like playing a certain role at that time so I rank up faster.

This is such a horrible change. Why on earth would you do this. The old system was completely fine. 3 bad games with autofill out of 50 fair games is fucking nothing. I was just starting to get into ranked after 4 years of having no interest and now I don't even want to play it now. Thanks Riot.

You might have to play more games, but you're not going to have to play 5x more games. You're going to get more "splash" between the roles than someone who mains one role.

Read the section on "A Silver III player who usually queues Fill", it describes your situation: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2019/01/dev-position-ranks-in-action/

Yes I read it but my point is. I don't play Fill. I play every role whenever I feel like playing one of them. I hate the going fill usually because most of the time I know what role I want to play. I don't want to be forced to play fill to level up all my roles at a fair rate.

"Fill" in this case is referring to someone who bounces around between many different roles rather than having just one or two that they prefer. Regardless of if you queue up as Fill or if you manually alternate between all the roles, the effect on your climb would be the same - you'd get more LP in all the other positions than someone else would.

So you're okay with having dead weight on your team because they got autofilled into a role they never ever ever play?

Honestly, yea I'm completely fine with that. It's one out of 20 games where that usually happens and the game is still winnable. The rank system was completely fine. It had it's flaws but every rank system does in any game. Maybe I'm wrong and this will be a good change but for me personally I really don't see why they did this massive change.
