The Ranking System and how its flawed

Banter Boi Taiga··2 votes·552 views

The League of Legends Ranking system is flawed on matchmaking and how scaling divisions and get demoted and promoted. The League of Legends Ranking System is not very forgiving in its demoting and promoting. But there is a solution on how it would be more forgiving if u went on a losing streak and it would be better on a win streak. If you look at the FIFA franchise and how they have the divisions system on Ultimate Team and Seasons. It makes it where if you go on a losing streak u can still get back up and not get demoted. Now your thinking this would be way to easy to rank up and achieve high elo but you could implement a system where if you get a 10 win streak you go up instantly to the next division but if you win say 7 games you then would go into a series sort of like the one we have now. Now lets talk about matchmaking just like in FIFA u can only go against the same division. It is unfair how a team could possibly get a Silver 3 and then the other team could get a gold 3 with a big elo gap giving the other team a big boost. I say and maybe a load of others would wait an extra minute or 2 to have a fair matchmaking to insure that the play is fair to where you can really prove if you deserve to get out of that division and if you Duo que with a friend that might be plat 4 ad ur Gold 1 the other team would be placed with a plat 4 as well. This would improve the current League of Legends ranking system Sincerely, BanterBoiTaiga

yes we know its borked, unfortunately its what we have, and anyone will tell you the same thing, its fine because every one else in the universe also has to deal with it, so if you keep playing, you will eventually show your skill level, granted it never reaches 1. but it could be something like .95 or whatever (close).

yes luck matters, yes you can lose at champion selection, yes 1 team mate can make 1 bad decision like go farm bot lane, get caught, and a 4v5 down mid lane happens.

but in the end, all that matters is you choose to keep playing, and abuse what you can to give yourself an edge, if you do that, you stand a better chance at winning than the other team (chance, chance chance, yes i keep saying chance!)

you cant guarantee, even odd one, or nightblue, etc etc, they all sometimes lose in silver, granted they dominate their lane/position, but even they cant get their team together or land their skill shots for them. sure their chance is much much higher, but thats because of their overly dominating presence and ability to capitalize.

TL;DR - everyone goes through this, thats what makes it "fair for all". yes there are better options out there, and too bad, riot doesn't care, they just dont.

The ranking system is they way they meant it to be: a soul sucking struggle, why else do you think they lump new 30's with half a rune page and junk players into your gold promos? Rito might be the leading cause of heart attacks, strokes and cancer amongst people 40 and under.
