70+% of your community is below Gold. Have you played ranked recently?

This snowball meta is ridiculous. Practically every game feels completely one-sided. A single kill, or gank can completely destroy any laner. Once ahead, masteries make trades even more punishing and with towers being paper thin, the game is often decided before 15 minutes. Having small mistakes be so punishable has made ranked a less competitive experience, especially in low elo.

Adding all of that to the amount of champions that can abuse masteries, all of the balance issues... Honestly masteries need to be reverted and changed so that they don't create so many balance issues. Balancing champions around which mastery is best on them is stupid.

as made ranked a less competitive experience, especially in low elo.

LOL.

The moderation hates when I say this, but it has to be said; Everything below plat is just clown fiesta.

"Less competitive"? how do you get "Less competitive" than zero? you can't. It has always been terrible... you at the very least need players that understand basic game mechanics, and Bronze Chaos is not it. The game only really begins at Plat, I guess gold is kind of debatable, in some instance, but the vast majority of players that are competent exist plat and above always.

Inb4 moderation deletes this post for "Racism against Bronze bracket" or whatever BRONZE ISN'T A RACE RIOT. STOP USING FALSE CHARGES AGAINST ME.

70% of the community has ALWAYS been below gold, that's how it works. (Bar first season where bronze was ~1250 elo and you were unranked below) Not sure what that has to do with the meta.

Sounds like the Twisted Treeline meta has made its way to SR.

gold should be the average considering how long a lot of these long term goons have been playing, but it appears 2000+ games dont make you better at league h4h4h4h4.

on OCE roughly 80% + are below gold
