Placement and Ranking system.

COLD MENACE··1 votes·528 views

Why the Hell should it count the division from the previous season?!

This is ridiculous. It's bad enough the terrible players one mostly ends up playing with, and now this.

I mean, clearly Riot its trolling! Just like all those players that troll every game and make you lose. Like those idiots, who spend more time pinging the bloody obvious (because they are totally oblivious of the existence of a mini-map), than playing. Most, do not have, either the intelligence, the skill, the gaming system or the internet connection to play this game, yet, they keep plaguing the game and making very decent payers, such as myself, stuck in Bronze division.

I am an working adult, who actually enjoys playing a couple of LoL games and have fun after work, or on my days off. Nonetheless, i play to win, not for participation trophies. That also means, due to my many other commitments in life, i dont have a pre-made team to help me climb the ranks, i am sure i am not alone here.

Winning is fun, losing a fairly played game can also be. But only if fairly!! Not because of the stupidity of members in your own team helping the opponent from minute one in the game.

This new placement rule is literally messed up, it has never been good, but now it's terrible. It's seems the sort of thing that some extremist feminist or crazed SJW would come up with. Really looks like it. - Just put the good ones down!!

And this brings me on to the flaming. Yes, curse the flaming players! Those evil players who curse!

There is a lot of players who flame for no reason, other than their own poor judgement, but TRUST ME, there IS a lot of flaming with founded cause, like, for example, i end up flaming, when it's just impossible not to say something, whenever i get idiots that keep feeding and doing stupid plays that penalize the team. Who the Hell wouldn't?! Everyone know's a team loss, it's your loss, if we were evaluated based on single performance, no one would flame. i wouldn't. Jesus, i can post you here, one game, where i had a player on my team, that did 0-23-0!! In ranked! Tell me you wouldn't flame.

I know it, you know it, everyone with a little of a brain knows it, if we get one, or two trolls in our team, we're done! We all know, whats coming for us, and that's a REALLY BIG RED COLOR "DEFEAT" and some negative points added to your score. Is this system fair?

At work, if one employee is doing bad, not performing up to company standards or the required for his or her position, and therefore penalizing the group, what happens? He or she will most likely will get no bonus, no promotion and will most likely get fired! Period! Bring some of that to this game please.

Ranking system should be based on individual performance, not based on overall team results. That is how the good players would quickly climb the ranked ladder and the idiots and the trolls, remain together trolling and penalizing each other.

Now this is for the board moderators. Please do not delete this comment as it is meant to express my opinion, and as an suggestion to further improve this product.

Mate, you are out of your mind and this is nothing but yet another unreasonable QQ post of someone who lost few matches in a row. I take it you had some bad days at work and now just venting of your frustration on League. Maybe try to hit gym next time, or buy a punching bag. That works even better and will save you your face and some street cred here on boards.

Now let's go and look at your OP:

1. Moderators (admins) are just volunteers They can't do jack sht about the game, they are just random Janes and Jimmys who are doing this for few RP every now and then. If you want, address it to the Rioters perosnally. Some of them sometimes read this stuff. And then laugh and continue doing whartever they were doing before.

2. LoL is a GAME not WORK You compared bad LoL players to bad company employees. Are you serious? The only people who can take LoL as a work are Riot employees - wheter programmers, designers, LCS players, coaches or shoutcasters... etc. For everybody else - THIS IS JUST A GAME. If you are bad at the game, not a big deal. You don't get "fired". You just lose LP and sink down on the ladder. That's it. The way system deals with bad players is to take more LP for a loss from them to sink them down sooner. What else do you want the system to do? To delete their account just because they didn't learn how to play yet? Now that would be stupid, right? That would ban literally about 70% of LoL playerbase and this game would die.

3.Bad games Yes, you had a bad game. So? I had 2 bad games yesterday. On my 2nd game I got 3 elo boosted "gold 5" players who were bronze season before. Thanks to their friends and dynamic que they ended up gold last season. Sure, I was frustrated, but I knew the game was lost so I just roled with it. Yes, I was salty in chat, but mostly I was just trying to show our mid laner who was flaming the whole team, that he had no right to flame since he played poorly as well. TOday, I don't feel anything towards those players. Why? Because while I lost about 15LP, they must have lost around 25 LP. ALso I played only 2 games so total loss of 31LP. They all played more so now they are way lower than me and ther e is nearly no chance to play with them again. Yes, bad and boosted players are everywhere. From silver to diamond. Also people have bad days when they underperform more than anything. Sht happens. Either get used to it or uninstall this game and play Minesweeper.

4. System works fine Whenever you look at your LP gain/loss ration, you can tell where you are. If you gain more for win than lose after loss, you will eventually climb. Like me now. I get about -15LP for loss and around +25LP for win in flexQ (didn't finish soloQ placement yet). That means I will eventually rise because system knows I am better than Bronze 4 and wants me to get to my level of play, which is someplace around high to mid silver. Even low gold on a good day. If you roughly get and lose the same amount, you peeked, hit the skill ceiling and you have to improve your gameplay to get higher. And finally if you lose more than gain from win, you are higher than your skill is and you will plumet to the league you belong. I think that system is fine. The real problem is matchmaking that puts team of bronzies against team of gold players on regular basis. But that is totally different animal.

5. You have no right to flame others Dude, you say you are an adult but this salty QQ post is as if it was written by 15yo kido with some RL issues. Please. You say you play with bad players who are stupid and play like shit.... Ok. And what about you? You play Volibruh jungle and start with W. Did you even bothered to read a guide on how to play him? Everybody knows Voli starts with E, because it fears jungle monsters and saves you couple of hit points (since feared monsters deal 0 dmg while runnig away) and on your clear can save you whole potion. Your warding is very poor and you never buy control wards or use sweeping trinket -wtf?, you buy Frozen Malet every single game, while FM is a situational item not worth buying only in few precise situations (you are losing tons of money and inventory slot with it in most of your games), kill participation is very low for a jungler (usually around 20-30%) and who knows how many other mistakes we would find watching your games. Seriously, get good before you start flaming others. This is the main reason why I don't flame people. Because if they look at my match history they will see that I am not good, and that gives me no right to flame others or call them bad. Because I am bad too. Maybe you should try the same approach. Stop blaming others for your loses, because most of the time you lose because of yourself. Especially in bronze where you don't need your team and can carry by yourself. ;-)

HI,

i am one of the best performers in my job, that is why i get paid more, even got a weekend in Alicante Spain in Hotel by the beach, fully paid by the company i work for, due to my work results. Got a wonderful caring wife and a great kid. So no, nothing wrong with my work, or anything else. And yes, i do hit the gym.

Thing is, why do i, or anyone else have to put up with the things i mentioned. That's my point.

Most of the times i play, there i am, in my gaming room, playing lol in a overkill system, and the bottleneck are this idiots i mentioned. That's all.

Everything i do is to win, whether is a work or in gaming, and the fact that i have to rely on someone else, which i do not know, and most of the times, totally sucks and penalizes me, is something i don't accept lightly.

About placements, i got 6W-4L, and got Bronze 5! I I don't play every day, or the whole day, in the day that i do, i have plenty of other stuff to do, so, i don't like to have my gaming time wasted by these players i mentioned, my time is precious! Don't like someone else having it wasted. That's all.

So, my feeling is that my efforts, on this ranking system, are not being properly rewarded because of all this, and i don't like it. Just like many others players don't.

Thanks for the time you given me on your answer and your suggestions i will look into it.
