Here are my recent grievances of and about League of Legends.

There are a few things that come to mind while playing League. Mostly, this game is fun and I enjoy playing it. However, there are a lot of toxic people and confusion in the champion select menu. Perhaps assigning roles to players by pick order will improve the way people play and communicate. I have had countless games lost because of very poor communication with people which have resulted in "name calling" and "taunting".

We all want to do well in League. It is aggravating to experience such lousy gaming conditions. I originally was placed in silver three and have recently plummeted or was demoted into silver five. I am afraid of bronze and question the reasons I have been paired with bronze players in a ranked game while being a silver. I question the matchmaking and its fairness. Otherwise, league has been great, so far. Thank you for reading and happy gaming to you all!

you and everybody else look at the badges as a representation of your elo/mmr when they are not that but just a facade.

in season 1 and two we had elo only, a number you could see rise and fall depending on wins and losses. your rank was tied to a fixed elo amount. if you hit 1250 you got bronze, below that you were unranked. no promos. with the current system its different.

you can be a silver yet have bronze mmr. you can be gold and have silver mmr. you can be bronze and have a silver mmr

at the beginning of the season some challenger mmr players are in plat. the current ranking system is only loosely tied to mmr and it can fluctuate. it can be falsely inflated and deflated.

look at me for instance. i have a silver 5 badge. but guess what. i have been playing so bad that i actually have a mid bronze mmr. so even though i am silver, i am paired with bronze players because we have the same mmr.
