Suspended From Ranked needs to be real...

ReadyxPlayerxOne··1 votes·305 views

I know I know, every noob and their grandpa "deserves" to be able to play. But it makes a TERRIBLE experience in the bottom tiers. You can feel anyway you want to about ELO hell and whether it's real or not but there needs to be a system to help those in those ranks get better by playing with people who are actually trying to get better.

What I propose is that we add "unskilled" to reporting and add a feature that will force players to play x number of normal games to be back into ranked play.

This works two ways:

  1. You lose 3 or more times in a row WITH a negative score and you will need to play 3-5 games normal before you can queue ranked again. This escalates to 10 games after 3 more consecutive losses and then escalates to 20 games. At 20 games you get banned for 2 weeks from ranked and then the entire scale RESETS. No Perm Ban, No constant escalating. It's purely intended to help you get better.

  2. X number of people report you in 5 games then the same applies. This can be quickly overruled though in normal games. Going positive in a normal game would immediately unlock the ranked restriction.

By score I mean, Kills PLUS assists: deaths. This means you REALLY need to be bad for the system to catch you or you'll need to be reported a LOT.

I think this is fair.

why does everyone in bronze think KDA is what wins the game

why do you insist on blaming your team for everything when i've played with you and i know you have a TON of improving to do

why would you rather lie to yourself and say you're only in bronze because of other people instead of admitting you're bad and focusing on improving yourself

why........ why..................... why...................................................

my brain hurts.............

Not everyone. I'm living proof that bronzies can think logically and not spout on and on about "but muh KDA!!" Taking objectives, pushing when able and working as a team (or letting your light speed Udyr murder the entire map) wins games, not simply getting fed.

Now to OP:

And because I can think logically, I can say your idea for banning people for something that could potentially be out of their control is childish.

3 times with a negative score means that plenty of supports will suffer from your concept, even if you add up kills and assists. Or really, plenty of people who are just unlucky.

Having a bad day/on a losing streak and not performing well? BANNED FROM RANKED. Playing a support and trying your best but your ADCs are making bad decisions or your lane is getting camped hard in three games? BANNED FROM RANKED. Get counterpicked and suffer for a few games? BANNED FROM RANKED.

There are so many possibilities and outcomes that your idea simply wouldn't work, it would just make people perma-tilted and think they're trash and not want to improve.

accepting the fact that you are the rank that you are because of your own skill level is the first step to improving. op can't do that and will stay bronze for the rest of their life.

you however, have a chance. good luck!

I kinda want to ask: What is their main accounts name? Since they refuse to post on their main and only on their "Smurf". Its just curiosity killing the cat here.

Oh boy... Let me grab some popcorn first! https://i.gyazo.com/1879ddad395eac2137cba238079be701.png

Probably gonna need it.

Wow I was right popcorn needed... They would have to be subject to their own implementations of rules as well! I see quite a few times where they have lost 3 (heck saw one where they had 4) loses in a row (the kda was eh at times on those losses going barely positve). Ranked play KDA on average though is kinda funny imo: https://i.gyazo.com/1d6cfeac5c9f7e643ab21f374919518c.png

Sadly can't see much else though. I mean it only gives so much info.

Void Nargacuga2 votes

WAIT WHAT?! goes back and checks OH MY GOD! That is hilarious! Thank you for pointing that out!

shyv3 votes

god, this entire match history is just.. a masterpiece

  • unsated devourer on vi, 32 mins
  • unsated devourer on jax, 28 mins
  • tiamat on support alistar
  • titanic hydra on support naut
  • and another one
  • seriously why does this guy keep building hydras on supports
  • buys AT MOST 1 ward per game. if we're lucky. a lot of the time buys no wards at all.
  • full ap "support" soraka with rabadons AND zhonyas

and that's just the stuff i can get from the match history.. need to see the replay.gg lol

I fear for anyone who watches that on replay.gg, also didn't they once build a item 3748 on Riven ?! Couldn't find that match... But I vaguely remember seeing something like that from you showing a match history of theirs.

R.I.P. Dyrus. 10/10 this has to be the dumbest idea of the week. http://www.auplod.com/u/pladuo74396.jpeg http://www.auplod.com/u/uopadl6d63e.png

What the hell are you talking about raw? You literally linked something that doesn't apply to what I said. The scoring method I'd use would make that person in that link POSITIVE in 3 out of four of those games. And why is it dumb to suggest the absolute worst players and noobs shouldn't be put in normal games for a time to help them get better?

Do you even know how a ladder/the Elo system works?

Ok, hold up. I do agree with most of this post. If I fill out a report for feeding I in there will include unskilled. I think best is beyond hitting lvl 30 and buying required champs to play rank you should have to play normal for a period of time before playing rank for experience. I have lost 3 plus games in a row and a wicked kda. I have been playing for yrs though and having bad teammates should not suspend me from rank. Can't always carry. I feel the frustration your posting. This would be my solution. Don't punish the everyone for unskilled players. I have had players with no ruins and no experience at any mode. And I shake my head.
