I miss being able to see the borders around the enemies. Why was this removed in the first place?

True i understand although you have to look at it in a non-ranked view as well because in normals its not uncommon with someone having a diamond border and then someone in bronze in the same game so it gives them scares and automatically there morale drops even if the diamond player isn't actually diamond anymore or good at all. If you have beaten someone mentally you have won the battle basically.

Lol, I love how you say it gives them the scares. I find it funny. Anyway, then that Bronze player should be happy that they are in the same level as the Diamond player. Also, you are going to get some on your team as well, so that will just imply that the other team will have them anyway as well.

True but eh typically low elo do get scared at times or overrate diamonds and plats and golds so their judgement is clouded although sometimes when they do beat that "higher" rank they feel great or become big-headed but eh either way its not just me saying that they get scared apparently riot believes so as well otherwise they wouldnt have officially removed the borders from enemy views.

If we remove borders, we should remove skins too. I crap my pants whenever enemy team has 5 and I'm the only one on my team with a skin. It's much more scary than borders, especially Gentlemen Cho' Gath. Riot please make this happen! Remove enemy skins!

Sarcasm for the children who don't understand. But seriously, bring back borders. "Scare" is just a dumb reason. lolnexus exists.

Lol, you bring up a good argument. I do get scared with I see the enemy with a skin, it means they are a "tryhard".

This i wish as well, although i believe it would cause issues with your own team because if the enemy is lets say full of such and such and your team has lower tier borders they can be intimidated and freak out although a lot of people use lolnexus anywho.

Well, borders are just what you were at the end of last season, so it doesn't mean much in terms of the current battle. Obviously right now it would, since season just ended. By the time next season rolls around, however, the borders wouldn't mean much. Also, if MMR works properly, you should be with the same level people lol. Except for normal matches, but we all know those are just free-for-alls.

hmm that is true although why did they remove that in the first place actually I was on hiatus if thats how you spell it when borders first came out actually.

SexyTaylorSwift1 votes

Lol, if I knew why they were, I would probably not have asked "why was this removed in the first place?" in my description xD. I was on hiatus when they were removed lol.

apparently it was removed to prevent scares o.O like i had mentioned well officially removed due to that although with now days lolnexus its kind of silly so i would concur that the borders should be brought back seeing how there are multiple sites in order to see what the enemy is rank wise.

SexyTaylorSwift1 votes

I don't get how it could give "scares". I mean, like you said, with all the sites there are, its not hidden. Also, you are matched with people with the same MMR, so shouldn't it be like, "they have a gold, I must be playing at that level. Cool!" A third point is one that I have already mentioned. The border simply shows what you achieved in the previous season. It does not show what you currently are.

Honestly...when I play, I look up the team that facing anyway, sure it might scare me but I like a challenge so...oh well? I'd like them back, saves a little time.

  1. In Ranked, pretty much everyone will be +/- 2 divisions or so, unless you have something like a Plat 1 duoed with a Gold V with a tanked MMR.

  2. In Normals the indicated rankings are often not very meaningful. They're from a season ago, and a lot of players don't "tryhard" nearly as much in Normals.

SexyTaylorSwift1 votes

I agree. This is why I think they shouldn't be hidden lol.

Matthias91191 votes

In Ranked they're almost always irrelevant and in Normals they're usually misleading. There's not much of a reason to show them.

SexyTaylorSwift1 votes

Lol, and no reason not to show them then :D. A reason to show them is that I want to see the cool border my enemy has, as well as show off mine :). It would bring some life to loading screen.

SexyTaylorSwift1 votes

Bump. Riot, please bring back the pretty borders.

Could you give a good reason as to why it is necessary to see opponents' border? Will it improve how you play? Will it cause you to already be defeated in attitude before the game even starts? How do you benefit from knowing their previous season finish?

SexyTaylorSwift1 votes

Because they are pretty. It could also give me advice as to how to play the lane. Obviously, if I'm playing a Plat player, I would probably play smarter. If playing a bronzie, I could probably roam some more and stuff.

Now I ask you, can you give a good reason not to have it? :)

Corgski1 votes

Because you should be playing smarter and your best regardless of who your opponent is. Your reasoning is that it will allow you to play reactionary to your enemy...why even let that be the case?

SexyTaylorSwift1 votes

Are you implying that Professional players don't watch games of what opponent they will be playing against? And that they play the same exact way regardless of who they are playing?

Also, there are many more things to consider than "playing smarter and your best". Again, if playing a bronze, I would probably be able to roam much more. I probably wouldnt do so against a diamond player since I know in that time that I go to gank bot lane, my turret is going down, he is counter ganking me for a triple kill, and they are taking baron.

SexyTaylorSwift1 votes

Playing "smart and your best" does not mean the same thing against every opponent. I played college football. We didn't go into each game with the same game plan. We knew our opponent and adjusted accordingly to them.

Bumps for Rito.

that was removed for the same reason that ping was removed. Apparently ppl got harass about their borders. Personally i think its silly to remove borders. A ton of ppl scout and see the rank anyways.

Bump.
