I'm honestly considering other MOBAs at this point for one reason

LXII··9 votes·886 views

The ranking system. Once again I have battled my way through the trolls and horrible players in bronze to attempt the unspeakable, I was gonna get out of bronze. This is my 4th time being up for promo to silver, and like the others I got the same result; completely smashed the first game only to lose 3 in a row right after. And as my match history will show, I STILL played extremely well in the 3 games, yet riot's patented Promo Detection software saw that my ass was headed to victory in sent in their own personal team of trolls and nubs to make sure that didn't happen. This is honestly just ruining my LoL experience at this point. I've never had an issue reaching the high rank tiers in any other game, then I come to League and after all this time I still for the life of me can't seem to get out of the lowest possible rank. My kda's are insane, I watch countless hours of gameplay to improve, I've studied every aspect of both tournament and solo q play, but somehow it just isn't enough.

I don't know how they could fix this system, but it needs work. It's just not possible to carry 4 clueless players in this game if the other team has even a slight idea how to play, yet that seems to be the Riot solution to getting a better ranking.

I 100% agree, I am getting tired of the bullshit of trying to get out of bronze. It's not skill or anything like that. You sijmply can not and will not reason with the people. Riot should do something but they will not because all they care about is the money and the people outside of bronze. I wish they would show a ounce of respect to the people who have to deal with it.

My thoughts exactly. The new placement this season pretty much cemented the "you guys can stay down there where you belong" thing they've had going for a while. I'm already back to promos but I don't even want to try them again because the same thing happens every single time.

uhh I just want to input that I was bronze s4..ended the season in plat 4. You just have to get better.

Kinda irrelevant considering that was before this new system stuffed 95% of players in low Elo. I finally made it to Silver, and it's worse than Bronze. I have lost damn near every game while still managing to crush my lane, farm hard, and usually secure us a pretty early lead. Maybe it's just a bad time to be a Riven player? idk, but it's annoying as all hell.

There are no other good mobas though. Dota is meh at best.

Heroes of the Storm is crap. it's not gonna go anywhere, smite has some potential.

I've been pretty happy with smite. All skillshots and harder snowballing means you have a better chance at a solo carry, the graphics are gorgeous, no runes/masteries...I haven't gotten to the ranked system but it does require a minimum number of games with a champ to bring them into it which is a good sign.

yea when i played smite the game was waaay easier to carry,i think it maybe has to do with not having to last hit,because even if you kinda blow it early game late game you can still make a comeback,if i ever get out of league smite is the first place i'm going.

at more like if you screw someone over early you can smash late game with any kind of damage champ, and bruisers and tanks have a huge advantage early game to hammer people.
