@Riot -- How do you plan on compensating fill players?

Onotori··1 votes·935 views

This new ranked system is fine and all if you only play one or two roles, but what if you're a fill main? It just fucks over any climbing you do. So how are us fill players being compensated for losing the ability to play our role / climb efficiently?

Fill players losing the ability to play our role / climb efficiently?

I'm missing the connection. If anyone could fill me in would be appreciated.

Your rank is now split between all 5 roles. If you're a fill main, you're effectively climbing in 5 different roles, making your climb 1/5th as fast as a one trick.

So I'm asking how I'm going to be compensated for that. I don't want to one trick a role, and I don't want my climb to be stunted because of some asinine coverup.

Go look at your client. The thing talking about ranked in 2019.

Yea I don't understand what your question is. If you're a fill main that says that you play ever role, so why would you be compensated? You're not losing anything. If you can't climb than the reason is probably because you're a fill main and instead of focusing on a role and getting better at it you're just trying to be a jack of all trades and mastering none.

No that's not the point. As a fill main you climb 1/5th as fast as anyone else, and you're basically punished for not one tricking a role.

That's not what's happening at all, as a fill you're playing a LOT of different champs, you're dividing your attention too much to be amazing at any 1 thing. Out of the top people in the world how many do you know that fill? There's a reason for why people stick to 1 or 2 roles max, it's the dedication required to become good enough to climb.

I mean I've played against and beat people of every rank in every role, so...

Once you learn how to play the game, you can play any champ and/or role pretty easily. League isn't exactly complex.

First lets be very clear, league is extremely complex. Learning how a champion works is in itself not too hard but knowing how everyone else works and how to play with people the right way takes years to master properly. Second how far have you gotten in ranked? Because it takes a very VERY skilled person to get in to the top %.

My first month of playing League, I was in gold, and I was playing against plats and winning (and gold is what, the top 20%?). So... I donno about that.

Gold isn't even the top 50%, the top 20% are plat, and it goes on from there. Anything below diamond is basically anyones game based on luck an basic knowledge. I was in gold a couple times too, it's really just a matter of getting good enough runs in silver to climb without getting shredded.

Bronze and silver are like 70% of the population. Just saying.

Anything above Silver 4 is the top 50%.
