Riot....

What kind of social experiment has this game become?

Season1 was by far the best one..... Why? because there was a REAL! soloq.

Since you released your duoq system, its being abused permanently. And now we are dealing with the issues..... people are matched way higher were they belong because of their boost. Yes,....they may drop to their "real" mmr,....but first they need to lose some games to drop,.....games were they get bestroyed,....in this games they will kill the meaning of ranked - which is playing with people at same level.

My main is D2 and this smurf is silver1,....and iam afraid how many players are running arround with platin borders but are playing like shit. its not even silver-level.....

Right now i see the product of DUOQ and DYNAMIC-QUEUE: Players are totaly missmatched in their elo/mmr. And this will need time were ranked will become even more meaningless, or a totaly new Ranked system. i just played yesterday a game against 3+1+1 with 5 premades.....sound inbalanced....but Riot knows best mhm?

You know what also ruins ranked? Smurfs.

Yes, eventually they'll get to the ranked they belong, but in the mean time they're going to lose me games when on the other team or make me feel like a win was underserved when on my own.

Smurfing and Boosting are two sides of the same coin. I have no sympathy for someone with a smurf who's complaining about boosting so long as nothing is being done about smurfing.

This has been pointed out by some of the youtubers I watch as well. (diamond and master level players) It's not REAL ranked because it's a game of "did I get the better premade vs my opponent". I have seen bronze 5 players in my silver 3 ranked matches as well as gold 1's.

We didn't ask for our ranked experience to become a "who got the better premade" yet this is what ranked is now. It's no longer about skill with a champion or team communication in game as you basically just adopt the mentality the moment you find out who's the premade of "Just don't feed and not even try to do better as this premade on voice communication will carry us"

Riot knew there was going to be blow back with duo Q and dynamic Q.

In fact I would go so far as to argue this new system, all the backlash they completely knew about it. Knew it was going to be a very unpopular idea, and they completely ignored it.

See not long ago (season 5) you could go to websites like LoLNexus and look at the players in your game and such say while you were on the loading screen. Still can today. However, during season 5 Riot changed their API rules for these guys. They made it against the rules to publically post group queues. See before if you queued together, you would have a line or something next to your name so you could easily tell. Now that was removed so technically we can not tell who queued in a group for that specific game. Sure we can go in and look at their previous and post games and probably figure it out, but that takes work.

I am telling you. Riot knew this was a terrible idea. They knew we didn't want this to happen and were not going to like it. So they made it as difficult as possible for us to identify if we were placed with / against group queues.

Riot made a change to try to hide group queues. If they could balance group Q games, or if they were matching group for group, there would be no reason for the cover up. They cant balance group queues and they cant match group for group.

They are not good people.

Just today I was permanently banned because I had a 3 man trio queue in my solo queue ranked match. They all reported me and harassed me all game regardless of me ignoring them and not provoking them. They also got the other team to report me. I ended up getting 9 man reported and permanently banned. Even though during the game I was harassed by my team and the other team. I one shot the enemy jinx and her response to it was typing this to me in all chat, "fuck you anivia", "im reporting u", "enjoy the 9man report hahaha idiot ahhaha". Now I have no account to play on.

I also posted a thread in this forum including my chat logs. I really wish they showed what the other team was saying as well as my team. I was cussed at and verbally harassed and even had racist remarks thrown at me. I reported all of them and I guarantee none of them will even receive a chat restriction let alone a ban.
