You think we could see a ranked reform where LP is a currency to purchase victorious themed skins and items? Rewarding players for their efforts to climb regardless of rank? You could always offer more for those higher elo. This would also allow friends of different skill levels to rank together and progress towards a reward. Saving for exclusive items like this is always a fun element to have in a game.
MysterQ1 votesI like the idea.
Rewt1 votesthat just sounds annoying. I know a lot of people who play till gold and then immediately stop playing ranked. If you implemented this they would have to play ranked (of which they do not enjoy playing) just to get what they would have already gotten.
MysterQ1 votesWhat is the reason they do not enjoy playing ranked though.
Rewt1 votesits cancer. I straight out refuse to play it after my experiences in seasons 3,4,5. People rage harder than ever. If someone dies once in lane they tilt off the face of the earth and then proceed to just int feed losing you the game. No one is level headed and it just makes the whole experience completely unenjoyable.
Now Reason 2 why I and all my friends hate ranked. You cant play with your friends. You can only Duo que. (flex is a joke and most of the time we que in a 4 man anyway so we couldnt do that even if we wanted to.)
Reason 3. In normals people dont tilt as hard and it makes it so that you actually have close games. In ranked everyone tilts super hard and it makes almost every game a 1 way stomp. (ive played something like 100 ranked games in my time and there were like 3 close games.)
MysterQ1 votesI have had severall close games in ranked. And not much tilting in flex. But that is besides the point.
Why do they tilt? Because the win is too heavily focused on. If there was a reason to play without only worrying about the win, then less people who tilt. Not saying prizes for everyone, but the system is designed to foster winners nd losee. And since it is teamgame it is easy to tilt. If each loss and win didnt feel like it hurt so much then people would just play better.
MysterQ1 votesThis is actually a really cool idea. Otherwise, what is the poiint a bronze5 would ever play. Even if he gets 20 40 50 LP, he will never get to Gold. But with this he can play at his 50% level in fun games and eventually maybe get a prize.
Rewt1 votesI strongly believe in the fact that you need to win to get rewards. i dont like the hand out to everyone participation medal. I personally have never gotten a victorious skin. And that is because i havent won. I didnt deserve it.
MysterQ1 votesI completely agree. It makes the Victorious skin less meaningful. And I wasn't saying give everyone the skin or a participation award.
But for players stuck in bronze, there is literally no reason to play ranked other than hopefully the games are more fun. And that in itself is not bad, but you can see it causes a lot of people stress (in a game, yes). And while it may sound like I am advocating a safe-space, I am simply saying some benefit for actually playing ranked might cause people to tilt less. With the end goal to hopefully get a less toxic community.
