So it's no secret that this game is devided in 3 categories of players.

  1. The elo trapped bronze players who keep crying for help, but everyone hates them and everyone thinks they know bronze better than them.
  2. The silver-platinum ( some diamonds included) who live with the illusion that they have hardly gained their well diserved spot in the ranking system, who are the ones who snobb bronze players, and who think that they know everything. The typical smart asses of the LOL world . 3 we have 'riot's babies' the challenger ( some diamond) boys who are the favoured riot blessed kind. The ones who although fairly and rightfully have gained their spot ( 150 years ago), they are being pushed by mommy riot to stay forever in the beautiful spots of high elos.

Now don't get me wrong. I am not insulting anyone here. I feel proud of people who are in high diamond, Challenger tier, they would destroy me in a match and i think they are way ahead of every other player, however here is where things get complicated...

One does not always remain static. People get better in time, while aome get worse, each season starts with a soft elo reset, that finds people back to where they used to be, and when i say back i mean mmr wise their lp gains and losses are the same pretty much. Now wether its +8,-22 or +22,-8 people remain in the same lp amounts. That means a bronze player will never see the light of silver or gold and a platinum player will easily climb back to where they used to be at the end of the season.

Here is what you are here for. You are here to vote whether riot should give a HARD elo reset. Whether all players from challenger to bronze 5 will have all ranked history whipped out and start over as if they had just turned lvl 30. Now according to the second category of players that i mentioned before ( the smart asses who know everything) one will find themselves where they trully belong. So that means you would be willing to prove it right???

I know it takes some balls to go from challenger to no elo history and prove the gaming world that you rightfully gained your place. And when it comes to challenger, diamonds, i believe that they will be just fine, it's the second category that will be in trouble since they might find some current bronzies above them while they get stuck in elo hell.

So what say you HARD elo reset or we keep pretending that the ranking system is so great and everyone is where they belong...

Balls or no balls?

Just gonna say, I've been placed in Bronze in both of the previous season that I played ranked (3 and 4), and managed to reach gold both times. This season I got placed in Silver III, and am rocketing up the ladder. Are you trying to tell me that this has all been luck? Bronze is bronze, and I've escaped it twice. Being "elo trapped" is just an excuse. (For the record though, my only real problem with a hard reset is all the different skill levels getting pitted against each other. It's bad enough in silver with just the soft reset (lotsa ex-plats, golds, but also bronze players too). I just feel that for the beginning of the season, this would create a lot of very one-sided games decided purely by luck of the draw.)

I mean the issue has nothing to do with diamond/challenger players. Of course they will be able to climb much faster than lower elo players. The problem will be the abundance of high elo players that will be pitted against bronze/silver players and that's just plain unfair.

No offense but this season I have seen a lot of gld players in bronze (I was silver and got place on bronze as well) some of those gold are still in bronze. A hard reset won't favor much as not everyone can be placed on bronze

I am just tired of people saying all the fckin time that 'you are where you belong' and that it is fair that i make 8-9 lp when i win and i lose 19-24 when i lose one fckin match! even with a screwed mmr i play against people of the same mmr so my lp gains vrs loses should be the exact same, like everyone should. I am tired of people saying that they disserve to be where they are , but they don't want to prove it. I am tired of people saying that bronze is consisted of only bad players. I have seed the BEST kalista EVER in a bronze game. I have seen people with a match history of ranked games being ONLY wins, and that person is in B4! because they buchered their mmr in previous seasons. How can it be fair regardless of MMR that some people gain 20+ lp and lose under 15 while othere gain constantly under 10 and lose over 20? I DON'T care what their MMR is, those gains and losses are unfair and cruel to play with. I am tired of Riot only giving 'love' and attention to high elos while slaughtering and ignoring people's requests at low elos. I am tired of SMART ASSES WHO JUST CAUSE THEY ARE GOLD OR PLAT, the think that they are supperior to others. I am tired of THIS UNFAIR RANKING SYSTEM. I am tired of a system that gives so little room for advancement.

I think riot's ranking system is like the world economy, rich people get richer, poor stay poor, and middle class thinks that they are rich while being broke at the end of each month , draining their paychecks. This is riot's ranking system.
