Hindsight @ 20/20 – A personal glimpse at the end of Season 5, the state of League of Legends, experiences, problems, solutions, and conclusions.

Looking forward to reading the discussions and conversations this will create. Hopefully enough people and reds see this as well and good changes can happen.

GLHF,

There is actually a way to take it slow and read it through clickable links

Starting here: https://crackersna.wordpress.com/introduction/

but this - https://crackersna.wordpress.com/introducing-the-blp-system/

and this - https://crackersna.wordpress.com/overhauls-to-leaverbuster-system-in-ranked-and-normal-games/

Now those were interesting!

I don't doubt Riot will sell or figure out a way for us to grind Chat emoticons one day...HAHA...

Very good read, lengthy, but very informative and contains great content.

After skimming through most of this post, I can tell a lot of time was put into this. You made some valid points about some changes that should be implemented into this game. The one thing I did not agree with was the each player has a ban. I think three bans per team is fair and I really like how the last 3 players get to ban. This makes it fair to those players who draft later. There can be some more organization such as Zielmann stated, but I think this was well written considering I'm not going to critique your grammar like an English professor. Solid argument with some valid points. TL;DR: Good argument with some valid suggestions that should be implemented into this game towards the Middle-End. Good job OP. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Let me start by saying that I like some of the ideas presented at the end of this article. The discussion about Bank-able LP and mandatory voting for MVP were pretty interesting. Some of the other solutions were on the right track as well.

BUT

This article overall felt like the author managed to hit a couple bulls-eyes by throwing a hundred darts at a board. By that I mean two things: One is that the article is just huge. I doubt anyone has time to (or wants to) read all this in one sitting. Second, I feel like a lot of the ideas are not well-thought-out. A lot of it comes off as complaining about frustrating things in an entitled manner. Especially when it came to matchmaking and climbing the ladder. Oh and one more criticism: I know it's hard because I spend a lot of time fussing about it when I type, but the grammar in this article is pretty bad in places.

TL;DR: If the article is TL;DR for you, I suggest just skipping to the good parts at the end, where a bunch of interesting solutions are suggested.

Solid argument.

I'm sure there's some neat information in there, but I just can't work my way through it. There are far too many unrelated pictures and videos inserted in between paragraphs that it's distracting. Okay, some might be marginally related to what is being talked about, but if you're going to use a picture as an example, please actually talk about the particular image to explain the context and reason that it was put in.

Just my personal preference, but I'd much rather see a long (but well-formatted) wall-of-text style article with only a few pictures, if any.

Thanks! It has been a week. I am glad a few like this. It was wordy...say what you want about the grammar, but it was my entire season in a nutshell. Many of the comments, anecdotes, included youtubes, photos, and writing were for understanding and entertainment as well. I am glad many of you enjoy the proposed changes. It is nice to see some support for actual changes in the boards vs. just complaints with no way to fix anything. I did wish for more discussion than critiques or backhanded compliments for for word usage and grammar or even some alternate theories to fixing afks, ranked, people that aren't ready when the game begins etc.

The wild west has begind with complaints of overpowered Graves, Yasuo, and Kog....and soon League of Premades will be upon us in Ranked Queues. So to the future, and fixing player behavior in League of Legends. I wish everyone a great day and look forward to future discussions and theories.
