They now can farm talent from college. They no longer need matchmaking or punishment to work.
They don't need to give a fuck, and it shows. It used to feel better, I'm not entirely confident it was better. I think the playerbase has grown and the problems are just more evident. Still the same problems that have always been present.
I recently had a like.. 3-4 year account banned, all champs, tons of skins, because I've basically slowly tilted off of the face of the planet.
I didn't do anything but tell other players to fuck themselves, but you know how this new system works. If you are involved, get fucked. Stay out of chat, don't say the keywords, or get fucked. Random machine gunning. It will never fix the issue.
I told this to riot support and they said to level an account and try again, they recently implemented the BE system. The ban was very clearly after that had been implemented by a substantial amount of time.
I just don't know whats going on, this game is great- but its matching and punishment is so fucking insanely bad that the game is actually unplayable. Even pro streamers consistently comment about things like, how is this player in my game, what am I watching, na challenger is like korean gold. The ladder is so insanely fucked up that you actually can't get consistent good games.
Especially with the early game the way it is right now, which I'm all for, its just always a fuckfest. One sided slam and you just hope you are dice rolled into the right one.
The classic, my yasuo 0/10, their yasuo 20/0, in ten minutes.
I went 9/1 to start on a new account. Then continued upto like 14/4 or something. Then riot decided it didn't like that and I have been getting the worst players on my team that I have ever seen. I'm talking, I've played thousands of games over years, and they are STILL actually the worst shit I've ever seen. Now i'm upside down ... 15 games and falling.
