So about leveling a new account

GoraksBadTime··1 votes·583 views

So this is what i have gathered when leveling a new account, im currently level 8 trying to actually play a game with players that know somewhat of what they are playing or at least not troll a game and give me 100games lost in blind pick because i can not play draft until level 10, (seriously whoever mad the matchmaking needs to go back to the drawing board with it).

The reason i bring this up is because when playing games in blind pick there is very little chance to win a game because just about every game i have played is full of botting players.

I'll admit i hate losing but i can live with it if i atleast win roughly around the same that i lost. not 30, 40 or even 50 games in a row because of bots in PVP matches on my team that just feed.

i just left my last game because of a shyvana that called top went mid and trolled the zed mid and the afk'd, but that is not why i left, i was not going to play a game where i was trying to forfeit and my team kept refusing 3-1 when they were all feeding and playing just like a bot would play, infact i know they were bots just by how they were playing.

Here is the thing RIOT, fix your damned matchmaking, how hard is it to want to have a balanced match in a game even when leveling. It has taken me so much longer then i would like to level this account to 10 and get to draft so things are a bit smoother.

That also brings up another point, with how hard/bad it is to level in Blind pick why do you even bother to give rewarded experience to the winning team, why can you not implement the reward system after level and let all those who are below earn the same experience regardless of winning or losing. Seriously is that too much to ask, or is it too much to ask you fix the current unbalanced matchmaking.

Bots don't forfeit or try to or afk. Maybe new players, and bare with me here, aren't that good because they're new.

But how can they get better when there's people from a bunch of different elos smurfing not giving them a chance to learn. I had some friends who tried league and didn't like it because they died too often when there games had people explicitly say they're a smurf

well you are wrong in all aspects but let me tell you how new players are suppose to learn to play. its called dont stop playing bots for a while just because you hit level three, doesnt mean you should play againest other players. look you are new i dont care if you are new by 1 day or a year. you dont belong with other players that are trying to level a new account and get to a point where they dont have to deal with blind pick players who are the worst of the worst.

seriously if you dont know what you are doing then stay in bots until you have a better idea, im tired of telling people this is the best way to learn the game so you can be ready for actual players.

sure you wanna improve your skill, but you dont have skill if you dont know what you are doing which is why all the new players shouldn't be allowed to leave bots until level 15, when i first started playing years and years ago, i was level 23 when i first play my very first pvp match and it was fun because i knew somewhat of what i was doing.

i got over trying to help new players in a match againest other players, there is not enough time or patience to type to them when you are playing againest other smurfs.

which leads me to my next point, i carry all my games normally except a couple and i still lose because of the BS matchmaking, really it needs to be fixed. im on a 12 game losing streak and it keeps going because not a single player on my team will learn the game yet everyone on the enemy team is gold ranked smurfs or better, and im sick i playing the most unbalanced matches ever.

Maybe if riot actually fixed the problem instead of trying to improve then the new players would learn how to player againest those of there current skill or lack there of.

thats a bit much. I would say do bot games until lv 10, then try queueing for a game with a buddy. Sure Im still pretty new, but I dont need a rank to see that a buddy in a game with you is good.

Well you are wrong in every aspect but let me tell you how new players do play; however they want. Some players are coming from playing first person shooters or any other type of video game, some this is their first time playing a computer, some this is their first pvp team game ever, some from card games, board games, sports, etc... So when a new player comes they subconsciously have strategies already from the games they've played before, and they don't know all the little details and parts in league. So when someone else comes along who already does know the game, they have an unfair advantage and usually use it by out csing by a lot and killing for every little mistake like taking one step too close. As far as when to play, that's just your opinion. In call of duty combat training is recommended for people until level 10. some might want to grind out to level 30 so they unlock all masteries and runes first. Some might want to at level 10 because they finished unlocking all summoners.

Just think about being a new player: you're playing 2 games in a row every couple days, you just got level 10 and unlocked ignite, just got that new 3150 ip champ you saved up for, ready to test your skills against players, and then get killed once every 2 minutes by a plat 3 smurf showing off #demvaynemechanics while getting yelled at in chat the entire time by the bronze 2 smurf who would be in silver if it wasn't for feeding team mates.
