Riot Decided To Ruin Game For Everyone But Premades
Letting 3-5 premades completely ruins experience for me and other solo players. We had enough 4-pre in unranked games.
I will quote Asylum Archfiend (doesn't matter if I said it myself, everyone are saying the same): > * Moving the primary communication of a team out of the chat and into skype works well for the 3-4 who are premade, but is shit for the remaining player(s). The remaining players will be left out of very valuable communication. Pinging will most likely decrease > * Mob mentality is huge. Look at how much people defend their premade partner when they fuck up. Hint: It's a lot. Now imagine there being 1 outsider. He won't be able to say "Jinx, play more carefully" without 80 % of his team telling him to shut up and not talk unless he's 15/0. (I would add from myself here: it also works in offensive way instead of defensive. Its almost guaranteed that 4-pre group will flame an outsider instead of their friend when losing, even if that outsider didn't do major mistakes) > * Solo players have very little impact. Because of the lack of communication with the rest of the team (who are probably skyping), the remaining player has little to no influence on the macro game. The group does what the group wants and the last player can either do the same or be reported for "refusing to communicate with the team"
Communication is 50% fun of multiplayer game, approximately (for me it goes much higher). When team speaks 100% of game time in skype (yes, chat is completely empty the entire game, that is) I get ~25 minutes of boredom.
We had the possibility to avoid negative 'hey 4 pre here' experience by going to ranked. No more. Thanks Riot
