EloHell is even worse now...+ some questions

Spartan Sol·Nov 18, 2015·2 votes·551 views

after the new patch's and with snowballing being 100x bigger then before its almost impossible to solo queue in bronze-silver. 1 feeder and the games pretty much over after they get a 1-2 kill advantage cus they just snowball like crazy.. even worse if its a yasuo. What is everyone else's opinion on this now? (before the new patch's i was climbing fairly quickly thru silver 4. took a couple rough games to get adjusted to the new patch's but now its either we get crazy ahead or we have a troll/feeder/unskilled player that just ends the game in less then 10 mins.)

also would like some tips for tanky defense junglers (rammus) what keystone mastery do yall generally take now? or what masteries do yall take period. i believe im running 0-12-18

what mark runes do yall use for a DEF oriented rune page?. currently using scaling health but 88 health at lvl 18 is horrible.

hi you with the useless comment. if you don't give any opinion other then a false one then don't bother commenting.

Did you just say for people to give their opinions then say that person's opinion is wrong because you disagree with it? Nice man, your debate skills are ever so present

And yeah you are totally right about me being wrong, thats why you are bronze/silver and I'm not right?

the thing is if you took the time to read my post you would have read that I was climbing out of it until this new preseason. also its more about the fact you gave 0 input to anything except to say it doesn't exist. that wasn't the entire post. how about give ur input to the rest of the post instead.

He's seriously right. . . Elo Hell doesnt exist, only the concept of it exists. There is no such reason to say 'I am stuck in a division.' If you're stuck in a division you should analyze what youre doing and improve your general mechanics.

This is very consistent with Silver-Gold players always saying 'Im stuck in Elo Hell.' No. You just suck and dont take the time to actually improve your game and dont plan ahead while playing

ANYWAYS, back to the topic.

Remember this is Pre-Season, this is where Riot tests ALL of their Beta stuff in the works. Things are going to be STUPIDLY broken until they find the balance. They want to see how things play out while adjusting the items/champions still, but its easier to get data from the actual millions of people playing the game than a few thousand beta testers.

Also, riot is trying to make the games shorter, attempting 25-30 minute games instead of 35+ so everything is going to be a lot different. They have to adjust a lot of things to make this happen.

elo hell does exist for the plain concept that you will never know who ur teammates are. i agree elo hell as in you can climb out of it doesn't exist. BUT elo hell as in having a coin flip on having a good player and a legit B5 player does exist. to also state again i wasn't stuck i was climbing at the end of season 5.

im all for games being shorter but the fact that you can call the who wins the game 75% of the time before 10 mins is just kinda dumb and idiotic. i'm getting used to some of the changes but the snowball meta isnt something that i want to get used to cus snowballing is never fun even if you on the winning side(unless ur playing a really fun champ)

also would you give ur input on the other 2 questions i had

tanky keystone mastery
tanky mark runes

I kind of feel like doing ranked atm is a complete waste. The preseason is not balanced and Riot knows that. This is why preseason exists.

true im just saying if the snowball meta isnt changed in some way ranked will become a coin flip even more so then it already is.

Oh it'll get worked out I have no doubt. But it might take a while, especially with this new minion patch coming out soon. It'll be interesting to see how things play out. Wouldn't be surprised if things don't really get to the right spot until January.

if the current pbe minion patch goes live almost all comebacks will become impossible unless the other team straight up throws the game.
