Every game mode is unplayable shit for high level players right now

Play some ranked games? Every single one is 50% players trying their hardest to win and 50% players trying out new champions and roles, and often going 0-10-0, resulting in every game essentially being over within the first 5 minutes, because this shit doesn't fly at Diamond.

Play some normal games? Matchmaking is a complete clusterfuck and we may as well be flipping coins, because it creates completely one sided teams (i.e. 5 random Gold/Silver players vs. 5-man Diamond premades).

This is pretty unacceptable. Either ranked shouldn't affect MMR during the pre-season, or normal matchmaking should be acknowledged for the abortion it is and fixed.

Why're you crying you're not high level

assuming you care about winning or losing. if you are like me and don't care then norms are pretty fine while ranked is a cesspool.

Neither is fun when the game is completely over before 10 minutes, because one team is up 15+ kills.

that is because you only care about winning. if you aren't winning you say fuck it and want to quit.

As a fellow d5, I'm quite enjoying the game right now. Had some solid quality matches today, tho bad luck on an aram. Supp meta feels pretty diverse which is chill, and I've got some good play style choices available to me.

I play mages, enchanters. Even had a nice game of taric today! (yesterday?) But yes, I've been a velkoz main for years now, there's been literally no meta where I haven't generally out damaged my carry, even in ardent meta.
