People still play paladins?

Yeah but the player base is dwindling because Hi-Rez hasn't listened to the community instead of fixing bugs,delays, server issues ect. They have just been pumping out more and more skins and doing some really crap balance changes. And this patch they are implementing a pay to win system that similar to EA's Starwars Battlefront 2 and they are fucking up the card system that no one had a problem with and now it makes champions hilariously op when you put enough cash in. The entire community is pissed beyond belief and they said that they are still pushing forward with this system but they will make some changes. Yeah the changes are doing jack and crap and everyone is saying that this needs to be tossed out the window. A bunch of people figured out though that they are just milking us for money at this point and are going to be putting that money into a new game. They did it with Tribes (hey remember that game?) and that money went into paladins. Now paladins revenue is going into something else.

Having the bronze on the 1st team really unbalances the match in that team's favor thus they had to throw a diamond 1 on the other team to even it out so to speak.

Its either a normal game or a preseason ranked game, so the answer is: who cares?

"Oh man we getting stomped by this random diamond but don't worry, this is a normal game, which means it's still amazingly fun!"

Also the same guy said

"Oh it's a ranked game in preseason so it doesn't matter, but if it was at any other time it would matter even though we still lose and gain LP equally"

DeleteArticle134 votes

So you are telling me cause you only play ranked and don't care about normals (probably) , it is acceptable for people that just want to enjoy some normal games to get destroyed by high elo players and don't have fun of the game ?

Wait, so which team won? [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Had a normal 3's game vs a full challenger team, my team was diamond 4, silver 5 and silver 2. It was normals though so it's kinda not easy to prevent it.

if this is EU it can go either way, you can't tell who would win

If I'd have to guess, I'd say it's because your unranked player has mid gold MMR (or higher) (add + subtract the MMRs of your team) - it's still dis-balanced but they're potentially your best player MMR-wise.

If this is ranked, it's disbalanced because they're unranked. Unranked players only have 10 games to be placed from bronze to plat, and the rank of your opponent climbs rapidly as a means of testing you; fighting a diamond is the best way for the system to see if you belong in plat.

It just so happens the skill gap between low and high diamond is far more expansive than the MMR range implies.

So I guess I am the only one who doesn't have a machmaking that gives you player with such different ranks. But obviously your own team allways sucks.
