The funny part is that even if someone never plays ranked you can tell where they would more than likely place by looking at who they are getting matched up with the most in normal draft. If you never play ranked but routinely get matched up with bronze 5 and other unranked level 30s then chances are you are headed for bronze 5 anyway and just shouldn't bother with rank.

For someone who claims to not care about ranks, they sure give a lot of attention to them.

for reference 'average' (50%) is about silver 5. Gold is ~ top 20%. Plat is ~top 9%. Diamond is ~top 2%

That site isn't really accurate tbh.

I mean, no MMR calculation site is really accurate. Most of them are better than nothing.

I'm implying it's just using your ranked mmr and tagging it to your normal mmr. A lot of high ranked players normal mmr is usually garbage because they rarely play norms so there's no way most of them have high diamond/challenger mmr which is actually just low level account like because master/challies almost never play norms.

It is the problem is that normal MMR will never be as relevant as ranked MMR. The further up the ladder you go, the less they play norms. So the upper portions of it are skewed because the actual top 10% isn't really there

It claims I'm in the top 31%. And it doesn't read TT. Or Ascension. Or Dominion.

This site is rubbish. ;p

So you mean every normals ever? No because i held several times 90% winrate in normals for a few weeks and still got placed with all kinds of players, from diamond to bronze V.

Based on your last 20 games you are low to mid bronze. You have the occasional game where there's higher ranked players due to premades, like the one game a d4 and b3 were in a pre-made, you typically get stomped in those. Games without premades you are mostly paired with low to mid bronze or the low silvers with terrible mmr that only placed there dud to riot being generous the first season. You can pretty much 2-8 and get silver 5 your first season.

you are all the same.

Yup, all the same, as in, accurate. You on the other hand are also all the same, as in, delusional. You are bronze 5 flex, face mostly bronze in normals, but what do you think you are, gold or plat? Why is it so hard for people to accept their skill kevel?

Do you know dom right? Imagine how he would answer to you, i can't post it here.

Protip: don't keep going, you'll thank me later :p

Protip: low bronze can't give pro tips. I'm done giving you attention, stay delusional for all I care. Keep watching high elo streams and think you are on the same level. Also, wanna know what Dom would say? He would agree with me and laugh at you.

Yup. We're all the same in the fact that we're not afraid to call people out when they need to calm down and git gud.

That's not entirely true. In season 6 my normal MMR was high enough to be consistently placed with diamond players and even the occasional master and challenger. Even if I could beat my opponents in a normal game, the rank setting makes up for something. I don't believe that even if I could beat diamond players in norms that I'm 'deserving' of their rank.

I have something like league fatigue and I can never play more than a few games a day. Just playing 1 satisfying game and that's enough for me to call it a day. I wish I had the drive to rank harder to achieve an appropriate rank but for now, I'll maintain gold and get end of season rewards.

I posted this on the wrong account but this is my alt

Shuttup silver nub udonno wut ur talking about.

Oops I forgot I did placements in flex. I guess I can do that next season.

EclipseTimApr 10, 20171 votes

Makes no difference to me if it's ranked or not, but as long as you are always trying your best to win why not go up or down via a rank system.

To me normal games are a place to test a brand new champ out, no matter what any elses opinions are.

Bot games to me are only for testing a new item build out.

I play one ranked game every so often, and thats why i play normals... People get way too angry and you are more likely to see people resort to afking and inting in ranked. But in normals, at least people do something fun when they are completely destroyed.

Ariel the CruelApr 10, 20171 votes

Well obviously losing is the fault of my plat Duo-queue. (not that one.) ;p

Lord GalvatronApr 11, 20171 votes

TFW you realize that s6 rank is worthless because of dynamic nightmare.

At this point I have no clue what my MMR is, I play with Diamond players and Silver players in the same game and my game loading screen is usually a rainbow of banners.
