Coming from someone who just entered gold

PhantomGG··27 votes·1,590 views

I legit notice no difference between bronze, silver or gold, or hell even plat, because match maker is so bad right now that I am getting people from all sorts of elo in my games. Not sure if this is even possible to adress, but just wanted to ask a simple question.

What's the point of even having MMR if match maker is this bad

Its because braindead champs and broken tanks can easily get you to plat 1 without even being skilled at the game. I MEAN IT.

let alone that if you have a top, jungle, and support tank, the game is over in Champ select...

not really, you can have a triple tank comp, but if matchmaking gives you a brain dead ADC (and possibly a braindead mid) your comp will hard stall in the mid to late game where you don't have the DPS to deal with the enemy and their ADC just chews through you.

well i mean i can go 20/2 in a zed game all they gotta do is tower hug until 30+ minutes where i cant get to the adc without getting smashed with a sej ulti or taric stuns or some other shit tanks that still do more damage than me and have shields and cc past a certain point [sg-ahri-1]

Gold is just shiny Bronze. Twitch was the mastermind behind Gangplank's death! The Void is lie! Runs over the hills screaming hysterically

I for one agree. But can't stress enough how pathetic it is that moderator clowns delete my post on stating the similar thing, without even offending anyone in it.

Maybe you should post the reason why the thread was removed, rather than slander the moderation team.

If i post all the reasons in the world it would not break your Riot bubble, so i don't even care doing it.

Do I have a Riot bubble? You might wanna look at my profile.

Totally a "Riot bubble". Do some basic research first or get out of sight.

My post was deleted because i "offended" with using "Riot lovers" term. That is about it. I was talking about game matching system giving me 300 MMR lower, 19% win ratio player who fed majestically.

It was posted in "player's behaviour" and some users were reporting the post for being in wrong part of the forum, obviously. But the moderator clown didn't name it as a reason for deleting the post. He said i offended people.

So yes, i do tend to call things by their real name sometimes and "Riot lovers" is a suitable term for all those clowns downvoting real issues but upvoting crap like "omg give us Sivir pizza delivery skin."

No screenshot, no proof.

Every time I see a comment like this the removal reason is always one of two things

  1. someone was named and shamed

  2. wrong board

prove me wrong.

That wasn't the point of the post. He wasn't saying that bronze and gold players have the same skill level, he's saying match making is so busted rn the games would be at the same difficulty.

Whatever drugs you're taking, please stop taking them. This level of delusion makes me think ur a danger to yourself and others.

https://i.imgur.com/jwdF3Un.png my team just killed trisana and fizz while we have a minion wave at their inner tower. But instead of taking the free towers while those two are dead all of my damage dealers chased after the Aatrox/Udyr/Taric into their base pass the inhib towers (hell TF even ulted into their base to cut them off) and instead of us getting any objectives at all we all die and the enemy team gets a free baron/dragon off of it.

There is no difference other than mechanics because there are still a lot of morons in this elo that think Kills>Objectives and lack any game sense what so ever.

You need to see full bronze teams and full gold teams before you notice the difference.

You won't notice how bronze players get caught out until you have 2 or 3 teammates all making the same mistake. And if you're really lucky you'll have a couple teammates who are hardstuck bronze because they tilt easily.

Golds still make mistakes--- they just don't make the sort of mistakes that make you question whether you're seeing things. I mean I've been on all-gold teams and ended up facepalming, but I don't end up questioning their intent to win like I do constantly with bronze players.

Maybe no difference between gold and plat I can feel that.

However if you have ever been in true bronze elo it really is a sad place. They legit run into you and die.

IMO the main issue is Riot places WAY too many players in Silver.

I have no problems with matchmaker at all, always always get teams from same elo with sometimes a few above and under.

Also there's definitely a difference, but you don't notice it since your skill rises along your enemies.

I agree lmao.

Duoed with my friend from silver 5 and got the same type of teammates I got while I was in gold 2.

Skill doesn't change until you hit diamond really.

The differences are there, they are just small.

I haven't really played ranked this season, but in my experience from past seasons: Golds are much better at maco play (grab Baron when the enemy can't contest etc.) Plats are much better at adapting their macro (back off a siege when the enemy setup a solid defense etc.)

Mechanically I haven't seen much difference from Silver to Plat.

i notice a difference, when i see a gold teamate in ranked, they feed more than my silver teamates, who feed more than my bronze teamates...............
