Elephant in the room & end of season rewards?

DarwinTheory··1 votes·1,800 views

So far I've not seen anyone this year bring this up but bearing in mind we got a hole new tier added & leagues shifted and Silver 1/2 is clearly the MMR now of what was Gold 5 so what's going to happen? Will it still be Gold + for skin rewards because if it is that means a slower number of people are getting to the threshold to get those rewards.

this is kind of directly contradicted by the fact that since they added a new one, the ladder shifted up, not down.

its easier then last season (even without the mmr bug, if plat contained the top 5% of last season, but now contains the top 6%, what do you think happened to last seasons golds? thats right, they moved up. it will be similar for all ranks.)

No this is false. Riot did the positional MMing and those that played a lot in that got their MMR so fucked up it ruined the season for those players.

actually its quite the opposite.

positional matchmaking was strictly NA and KR.

it was never introduced to any other region, as it was in beta. go ahead and check ones like EUW or China, they all show the exact trend im saying. all players would have shifted up unless they were extremely new.

MMR has never meant anything when it comes to end of Season rewards otherwise the majority of Gold 5 players would have never gotten them.

That was their point. They want to make more people struggle to get the skin.

Its making the Rats pull the leaver for a MAYBE reward even when pulling the leaver hurts you.

Not really. There is more golds this season than in S8.

That's not official data, that's 3rd party data mined data which RIOT has time and again said to us in innacurate. It's not official from RIOT's mouth and I can tell you right now high silvers this season are absolutely better than last season, the macro play, counterpicking, map awareness. The Silver 1/2's I'm facing this season are easily on a par with the Gold 5/4's from last. easily.

There is definitely a change in MMR to ranks.

If gold is still the benchmark that's fine. like I said I don't expect to get any rewards.
