So when will Riot admit that the League System sucks dick?

Leagues are just another layer between the user and factual data.

Riot stated that they want players to have as much data as possible but in reality....

Leagues is the same as elo except inexact. What I mean by this is... Gold is 1500 elo pre-League system. The league system is basically an RNG type of thing. When you're a low gold you know you are within a certain range but you can't pinpoint where you are..... So gold league system might have you guessing anywhere between 1450-1550 for example.

And let's not act like series are such a great thing either.... Riot acts like one of the benefits of the League system is punishing queue dodges despite the fact that it's merely a pseudo-punishment as it doesn't affect your mmr and is compensated by the fact that should you lose your series you very likely have to put less work in to get another series. And if you win your series you have less work to do for your next series.

League system

  1. decreases knowledge accessible to the player
  2. does not actually make lol more enjoyable

I do wish they would just bring Elo back. There isn't really less anxiety this way.

Quite the contrary in fact, there's a lot more anxiety. Imo of course.
