level means nothing

it means even less than mastery

how do people still think that level means literally anything? there are people who have been playing for 8 years and are still bronze. their level would be multiple hundreds higher than it is if riot had removed the level cap earlier.

while this is true, the fact that you can be placed into a game as a new player with someone who possibly has 10,000 games means _LITERALLY _SOMETHING. Especially when trying to get your friends into the game.

Sure the dudes a hardstuck bronze 3, but he stills has leaps and bounds of game knowledge and experience over anything a new player will.

Im level 158, and while that doesnt auto make me diamond+. (I think im silver currently.) But my silver elo means less than my level in my case, ive never played more than 100 games in a ranked season, but i have over 12,000 unranked games and nearly 5k arams played total(over 150x the experience of my ranked games), and new players are frequently placed higher ranking than i am currently. So take any ranking with a grain of salt.

i correct my previous post. level after 30 means literally nothing. you know there are "level brackets" pre-30, right? you don't get matched with 30s until around level 25 unless you're premade with a 30.

i actually did not know this at all and am glad to hear it. I do know for a fact that my friends with level 30 experience and 10 ranked games got placed higher than me and couldnt hold a candle to me in any instance of the game.

I mean a person with 2000 games played probably has a higher level than someone with 50.

What does your level have to do with anything?

This is why half the shit isn't taken seriously, cause of dumb statements like thinking your level actually means anything as far as matchmaking/balance.

and yet those 2000 games don't mean anything if the 2000 games cant climb but the 50 games can.

so once again, your thread is why balances changing suggestions cant be taken seriously.

I feel you brother. I still have to explain to people why they should buy LDR and to focus towers - it's getting real old.

Then you should ask yourself this : Why am I matched with people like this ?

Plain and simple, because matchmaking sucks.

Randuin was to peel for Ezreal so he could do his pitiful damage. I stacked a lot of armor early because I was against Riven (and i needed waveclear) item 3068 and Diana didn't visit me (and as Poppy my W ruined her engage so I didn't have to worry so much about her damage) Ryze was just visiting bot ocassionally so he wasn't a threat for me. And I got item 3075 because my Ezreal was an idiot that didn't feel like buying grievous until the game was already lost.

(And also wtf )

Yeah WTF indeed.

Level is about how much you play, and has no correlation to how well you do in a game. The only thing having a high level does is not allow someone brand spanking new to enter a game with you (I mean the other players have at least played co-op)
