Placements and general riot bullshit.

Ima Cut U Up·4/16/2017, 11:46:14 PM·2 votes·1,241 views

I don't know why, but I win like 8/10 games on placements for one account and get placed bronze IV, then on another account I win like 4/10 and get placed silver 3. Obviously riot thinks they know what they're doing, but they are far from it. Then I get my account 14 day suspended for going afk after literally all 4 of my teammates trash the shit out of me and take the side of the guy who isn't healing me because he talked shit to me, who is my support. Right... I can't get over how ridiculous the punishment system is. You guys actually think that suspending somebody for refusing to play with an entire team of shit talking entitled children is the right answer. Get back into the tribunal or something. I assume somebody reviews my case before they suspend me... so I guess they must be a bunch of retards who can't read text and be reasonable. Sounds about right though from what I've seen from Riot. This game has gone downhill so far. It's so offensive I called somebody a retard, but not a big deal that they were talking all sorts of underhanded passive aggressive shit to me before that, and they stopped healing me or something in game... but ohhh I called him a retard or said a few lines of really mean text to him after that so I'm the one who should be punished or banned. Riot thinks they're the fucking internet police now and they are horrible at it.

Riot thinks it's cool to ban and suspend accounts based on defense of one's character too. If somebody talks shit to you and you put them in their place or even say something your other teammates considers wrong and they say so you'll get suspended... you are in the wrong and they are not because one riot employee thinks so. This is definitely riot's stance as their 'punishments' reflect it.

Way to go riot, you're pros at regulating speech on the internet... fucking morons, watch your player base dwindle more and more as you pretend to do good. Bring the tribunal back or just give up on this punishment system, you clearly suck ass at it.

Hello Ima Cut U Up,

Understand that we don't ban or remove posts because people criticize the game. Improvements don't happen when people constantly share the same opinions and always agree. Who knows... someone's criticism could lead to the next big thing.

BUT that criticism needs to be constructive, not badgering other Summoners and being rude to those who are posting in response to you. The assumption that Deep Terror Nami made is something that solves a common issue when people ask "Why was this account ranked higher than the other?" In your case? It might not have been the exact scenario, but something similar where you have account A that has a significantly lower MMR than account B, and will take some serious hardcore grinding to correct. I should know, my first account was originally buried deep in Bronze because I just didn't know what I was doing and trashed my MMR when I hit 30. It took quite some time to get it fixed.

Regardless, please stop being crass to those around that are trying to help you out. Consider this a formal warning.

They took the easy way out, they don't have to pay a bot that goes through the chat logs to see whose doing what. Saves them money,

They don't have to listen to the people who keep this game alive, you know, ALL the people in Bronze-Gold/Lower(Norms/ARAMs)

No, it's better off if they only think around Pro Play, what's that? Riot lost a few million players, myself included? Too bad they don't send emails at all saying what's new or why we should come back, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING NEW AND INNOVATIVE ABOUT THIS GAME(Cause it's all broken, aka same garbage every day)

Holy cow, stop with the reply spamming. Gather your thoughts and make one reply, editing it if you need to. It's impossible to form a conversation when you're jumping all over the place.

It's not hard to imagine a situation where you win 8/10 games against Bronze 5 players, but loose to Bronze 2/3 players every time the system tries to pit you against harder foes, resulting in being placed Bronze 4. Short of having to play more placement games there's not really a good way around the bias that a match or two can have on you. Additionally, past season ranks weigh into where you get placed, so if you were Bronze/Silver last season you'll have a higher chance at being Bronze this season.

You guys actually think that suspending somebody for refusing to play with an entire team of shit talking entitled children is the right answer.

The right answer is to mute them and play the game the best you can. If you got a 14 day ban it wasn't for going AFK in that single game (I don't even think they give 14 day bans for going AFK, it's 20 minute Low Priority Queue).

Riot thinks it's cool to ban and suspend accounts based on defense of one's character too.

You can't defend your character by demonstrating you're worse than people already think you are. Man up and be better than them, don't fall to the same level as them.

Way to go riot, you're pros at regulating speech on the internet

They're enforcing common decency on the servers they own, which isn't too high of a standard to maintain. They couldn't care less about what you do on the rest of the internet (hence why no one gets banned for what they do/say on Twitch or Youtube).

Everybody dances around the main issue in my post and focuses on their silly matchmaking system.

Why don't you mods just ban me for criticizing your game and company and admit that's what you're trying to do. I think the other alternative would be to stop pretending that this:

" I'm going to make a prediction;

Account 1 which placed in Bronze 4 was Bronze 2 last season.

Account 2 which was placed in Silver 3 is playing Ranked for the first time

How close am I?"

isn't pretentious passive aggressive bullshit. Whatever game you're playing in the middle is pathetic, grow up.

Try to stop and consider why your posts are getting downvoted and/or removed: whenever you disagree with someone you tend to resort to insults and name-calling. There have been many posts and threads where people have expressed disagreement with Riot or another persons point but have done so in a respectful manner and without insulting the poster that they disagree with, and often good conversations can happen because of it.

I understand that you're upset about your situation you pointed out in your OP and are upset that a bunch of your posts are getting removed, and that's fine. However, I would suggest you take a step back and try to think about ways to get your point across that don't involve including insults and name-calling. Remember that it's okay to disagree, but try to do so in a respectful manner.
