He's sitting at 200+ LP in Grandmasters and Riot somehow doesn't realize how shit the state of their matchmaking has got.

I don't even regular his stream and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him as he got troll after trolls in every single one of his matches yesterday, all the way from wintrading junglers to ADC Warwicks who threw the game away. And bear in mind this is in the second highest tier on the ranked ladder.

I think there's a massive flaw in LoL's ranked system when you have idiot players who either genuinely do not know how to play the game, or intentionally throw at a level that high. When you have people who cannot think straight but get to Grandmaster or in the case of bought accounts don't demote fast enough it makes me question whether there is any reason for anyone to try and make it out of silver in this day and age.

(Also was watching SRO's stream today and guy gets disconnected despite his server being fine. He blamed TFT for it and called off the stream at that point lmao.) - I think League's management has belonged to dogs for ages now and the company has given up on fixing the issues even when they're visible on the global stage.

It is literally impossible to climb to Grandmaster trolling. If someone's picking ADC WW in that ELO it's because it works.

I also got disconnected a few times yesterday, playing tft of all things. I think the reason why the client is down before the update is cuz its having a meltdown. People straight up were unable to get into games and in some cases had to restart their computers cuz the client hardlocked and made it impossible to alt tab out of a black load screen. Combine the random disconnects, and you got a massive problem.

Anyway, onto the main topic. High ELO in NA is a joke cuz pros dont even want to play it that much anymore. 70+ ping and shit, and knowing that, people are more willing to wintrade and troll and all sorts of shit cuz the penalities are not enough. IP bans need to exist flat out or else someone will just keep buying accounts, climb back up, and do the same shit all over again. CSGO does it and it somewhat helps with that ladder, so why dont we have it?
