Season 5 "Soft Reset" Completely Destroyed Ranked Balance

TheGrandAlliance··4 votes·692 views

This Season is terrible. It nerfed Season 4 Silver AND Gold, regardless of what their placements were, into Bronze 3... and now Bronze has become ELO Hell once again filled with (formally) Gold/Silver vs teams of Bronze and the sort.

It is (almost) impossible to carry out of Bronze now unless your Diamond+. Now that everyone's MMR is basically the same you are far more likely to have the enemy team have more power then you. Unless you have an equal match (which never happens) your team just gets wiped over and over. And if you main support like I do.... LOL the times go by fast sometimes.

Don't tell me "just carry yourself out of Bronze": This is no longer possible. The MMR system is completely broken.

I was Silver all last season (formally from EUW). When I transferred I was placed in Bronze 2 but carried myself easily into Silver V right before S5 start. 70%+ win rate. Now with this season, I went 5/5, got B3, and falling with massively lower win rate. This isn't because I "suddenly got worse". This is because this season is messed up.

Now my MMR is ruined... I lose more LP then I gain... and it will take me 50+ matches to get back into Silver IV range where I was last season.

Hopefully RIOT games is happy with this messed up game because they completely destroyed my game experience. Why did I even try to climb/"fix" my MMR during the preseason... only to have it nerfed into oblivion in 10 placement matches?...

Alas IDK what to do anymore. This game just turned into /retard mode in January for no reason...

Thanks for nuking the game RIOT!

I'd have to agree. I was silver last year also, I'm in bronze III now. I got into promos twice, won one game, then lost 2. Amumu

The same...

On first week got up to B2 promo series but lost 2 promo series due to trolls/afkers on my side in at least 1 if not both matches each game.

Bronze is Bronze for a reason... Home of the AFKers and pick trolls (I have had matches with no ADCs and vs teams with no ADCs). By placing everyone into Bronze the game is ruined.

Well, it does make sense. However, give it time and the more experienced players will have made their way out of bronze and it won't be so difficult anymore.
