Ranking System is Complete Garbage - Experiment (Comments Welcomed)

Pusssie Hound·11/14/2018, 11:13:32 PM·6 votes·3,682 views

Hi, I frequently rank play on my main account to achieve god knows what. To tell the truth, I went up to Diamond 1 this year and have nothing to show for it but lost of a lot of time. Outside and inside of this game, ranking high in this game is nothing but a way of saying "I don't get laid"or "I need to get a life."

Well on to my experiment because I don't have a life and play this game way too much. Yes I do get laid, but that's because I am married and it comes with perks. If I was not married, i would probably not be getting action due to the addicting nature of this game which sets up a ranking system so that many young men and women lose their lives and keep their virginity well in tack.

I just recently completed an experiment. I set up a throwaway account this year to see about climbing the ranks starting with bronze 5. Seriously, Riot must really hate the bronze division. I certainly do! I started out on the bronze 5 division in any way possible to make myself be the biggest troll in the rank setup 10 promo games. I succeeded. From then, I played to my best skills. This was a slaughter fest of games where I tore into the Bronze division. Problem was, that I had the most difficult time ever of climbing the stupid f#cking division. There was seriously one game where I was 28/0/11 and the game still came to a defeat. I lost 17 LP because of it. This completely makes no sense as to lose so much LP in a game where your game play is dominant. If you're asking why the game was still lost, thats because the rest of the team went 9 and 45. There was one point in that game where I scored a Pentakill in a team fight leaving me and 2 other teammates alive. I do the obvious and go straight for enemy tower and inhib destruction while the other two teammates decide to jump into the jungle and do god knows what (these bronze players are seriously mentally not there). So this type of shit goes on for about 57 games in bronze where I never get a score below S-. It took me 57 games to get out of that shit!!! I'm losing significant LP when my game play is dominant, but the problem is having 4 other morons who are uncooperative and don't have the capacity to know what objectives are.

Wards - These are not a thing in rank, what are those?

Towers - Yeah, lets tower dive that opponent when I'm level 3 (very common in bronze)

Jungler - What's a gank? (The most common type of gank is a gank when the enemy is shoving the lane. Yeah, these junglers in bronze like to gank the opposite of that and gank under an enemy tower (getting killed) which defeats the purpose of what a gank is meant to be. Dragon, Rift Herald, and Baron? What's the purpose of getting those objectives when I can score righteous dough power jungling!!

Support - Lets go Shen support! It's OP!!

AP Blitzcrank Mid - Very common!

Flash - Lots of flashes into a wall instead of over it.

8/0 start - Just because you start 8/0, that does not make you He-Man able to take on tower dives into 5 opposing players. Yes, you are going to die and I don't know why you blame the team and become toxic. This guy finished 10/15. You guessed it, it was a Yasuo!!!

That's just a sample of the shit I went through with teammates I was forced to play with. My main irritant is losing many games with an S+ score (and there were many of these) and getting shit-canned with a lot of lost LP at about 15-17. The ranking system needs to take into account the better game play in those lost ranked games with a significant lessen on the burden of lost LP. I can see why people have a hard time getting out of bronze. Its a catastrophe of trolls almost seemingly purposely doing everything wrong during your games making sure the team loses a game. Well, not purposedly! They are just complete morons!

The loss of LP in a game needs to be adjusted for those players who play exceptional in a game that are lost. If a player gets an S+, he/she should not lose a whole 17 LP. This is why the ranking system is a chaotic mess!! Any agreements on this?

This is a team oriented game changing those metrics in anyway changes what league is about.

Tbh let's flip this around for a sec and think about your teammates in that game. It sounds like they all lost terrible and did not do well match and the game should have ended tremendously earlier but because you the Smurf existed in that game they all became prisoners.

In my opinion the only lesson from this is don't Smurf....

Match making and ranked has a ton of problems. This is one of them. If you are stomping that hard you should just be promoted automatically, up multiple divisions, when you win your promos.

What role were you playing? Granted, it was awhile ago, but back before rito banned me for boosting I was taking accs from bronze to gold in around a week. I've only ever hit D2 (and that was awhile ago), so it seems you're better than me at the game. I used to run jungle/mid and win all 3 lanes. That worked well. That doesn't negate your point, though. You, as a high diamond player, had to play 50+ games to get out of bronze. That's whack. My argument is "if you win all 3 lanes solo you should be able to climb pretty quick". That is also whack. Lol.

yeah it's bs. It took me a while to get out of bronze b5 and when i did i hit silver 2 basically all in one day and I'll admit, I barely had to work at all for that winstreak I just simply got lucky with teammates who cared to play and who didn't flame eachother. I have over 3500 hours played on league and have been called a scripter/smurf countless times in my elo only to what, get called a hardstuck noob who deserves his b5 rank right after? I'm not stupid lol, there is a point where being held back by team is very possible I don't see how people can deny it. So, tired of being in that rank, I made an alt account which is unranked and now in norms I get to lane against and totally dominate plat players lmfao, but hey I deserve bronze right! :P
Feelsbad for the true new players in bronze though because I know damn well that I'm not the only player in that elo who is just way too damn good to be there, if I hold my self back at times (which I damn sure have wont deny it when i do) it's because I'm running around like it's a playground just stomping on bots...

Are you sure you're a diamond player? You have a 44% wr in mid silver.
