I think end of season rewards needs a new benchmark

Posimpoble·Apr 24, 2016·1 votes·563 views

I am currently silver 2, not very good at the game and dont deserve to climb higher yet. I find it insane how many players fashion themselves gatekeepers to gold. The gold players i am coming across do almost everything in their power to stop people (own team) from climbing and they are usually gold 5. I am getting players with multiple abandoned games on their match history and player punished feedback upon logging in 3-5 hrs later. This happens to both teams lol.

with the current state of dynamic queue BOOSTING/FEEDING and the already huge egos of low gold players. I strongly suggest riot implement some new way of receiving end of season rewards instead of the gold 5 req. perhaps even higher like plat 1.

your thoughts?

You're correct. It's a built in anti-solo que feature now. Tried to help my silver buddy twice this last week. Both promotion series we lost due to afk, intentional feed, and tilting sideways. If it ain one it's they other, and the games become increasingly difficult...

It's a pity we've the "misfortune" of repeatedly receiving these players on the 8-ball. If you understand my reference.... EG: Being pushed while taking the last shot. I would think a forum Arbiter would understand what the term toxic means. I'm not being toxic; I'm simply effected by it. Thanks for understanding.... It's not what you said; It's how you responded toward OP.

In response OP: Nah, I didn't receive previous season rewards for worse reasons. IE: Being demoted for not playing mid season... I see no reason to change it, and our problem is primarily with the matchmaking system. I question it.

Is it: Gold 5 players playing with promo's? Or Silver 1 players with promo's? Cause I've never seen someone state "I'm in promo's" end well.... It's better to keep quiet.
