Dear Riot, (ranked and mmr complaint)
I understand that this will start out negative, please bare with me. The ranked system is trash. People who are good and understand the game are losing for reasons out of their control and its just been getting worse and worse with the start of the not so "new" season. The game is no longer skill but just luck. a good player can not simply carry a team. Ive begged people to group or not run in one by one but they do it. Death timers now punish people even more and almost eliminate ones chances to do anything to contribute. Ive seen all the arguments about earning your rank and if youre good, then youll get it but that is a bold faced lie and no one seems to be able to think and figure out that they are getting lucky matches. I cant begin to tell you how many games ive seen where my own team mate just gives up or doesnt listen. they run off and blatently express how they dont understand the mechanics of the game. Ive won games purely because of the same thing too. ive been so horribly outplayed in the mid lane and still won because of their own jungler that doesnt group or that one guy who keeps face checking the entire team. people who are able to do well are losing after winning their lanes and properly agressing on objectives because of people who are no where near in skill level. i know someone is going to get on here and give me some bs about, "maybe if you dont suck youll win" or " you probably just dont know what youre doing" or even "if youre good enough, you should be able to carry". Those are horrible excuses and for the most part, it betrays many peoples ignorance. I wish i knew a way to fix this but all i can do is tell you, as a player who truly does enjoy the game, what i see is wrong and ask that someone please just look into this. im not saying im the best. i know im not. but i understand this game and ive spent since season 3 trying to understand the roles and the game and the subtle ideas behind how to actually play and all that has begotten me is lame games lost from the lead because of one person throwing the game. for all of you who feel different.... congrats. im glad that you have not been plagued by people who afk or feed or complain or fail to team fight or whatever have you. Just please dont act like it doesnt exsist. I want someone to hold riot accountable for the huge lack of effort in the ranked system. and if it truly just mmr, then make a better system other than just being lucky to not have a troll.
