The Time Needed to Reach lv 30 was Lowered Way Too Much, and also Matchmaking Sucks

VI Nitroreg··2 votes·540 views

From what I know, the time needed to reach level 30 was lowered by about half. This was a horrible decision. Now, players who have only played for a couple of months get to match up with bronzes and silvers. This is a huge problem. In my second most recent ranked game, I (bronze 1) got put on a team an unranked Annie. And she didn't know a lot of the basic concepts of League (when to group/push etc). I literally went 13/2 as Tristana (my bby <3) and we still lost because Annie constantly got caught out and never grouped with us. I looked at her profile after the game. She had a 53 mastery score. Her highest mastery was only a level 3 poppy. I knew that she hasnt played a lot and it made me completely mad that she, who has only played 23 hours of league, got matched up with me, who has played over 235 hours (i looked us up on wol.gg.) I really think that Riot should extend the time before a person can play ranked because it's ruining a lot of games.

You could easily use the argument that "oh if you have unranked players on your team, then surely you'll have unranked players on the other team." To that I say bullshit. In my most recent ranked game, we had 2 silvers, 1 bronze (me), and 2 unranks. On their team, they literally had ALL silvers, nothing else. Needless to say, we lost that game.

My point is relatively unexperienced players can reach lv 30 really fast, play ranked, and ruin games for players like me. And the matchmaking system doesnt help either, disproportionally putting said unexperienced players on either team.

Diamond players generally have MASSIVELY low MMR when they play normals, so they are matched with a variety of people (since Ranked MMR and Normals MRR are different). And Cloud Main SSB4 appears to have been unranked this season, last season ect.

the difference between bronze 1 and unranked isnt that much bud

VI Nitroreg1 votes

like i said in the post, the unranked had only played 23 games while i have played over 200. that is a huge difference

also, i remember riot saying that the experience needed to get to lv 30 now is equivalent to what was needed to get to lv 22 before. so a bronze 1 and a lv 22. thats still a pretty big gap

no its not. if you manage to get yourself past silver 4 you will realize bronze 3-1 isnt much different from being unranked and anything below that is a true sign that you are retarded.

That can vary wildly. People in Bronze typically have some ranked experience and people stuck in Bronze will at least have runes. There are some unranked accounts that go into ranked with virtually no clue as to what they're doing that it makes you wonder how they even hit level 30.

It is the same chance for them to get the same amount of unranked players, yes.

VI Nitroreg1 votes

but in my experience, no. its usually one team that will get all the unranked players

Confirmation bias.

Sorry, but unrankeds generally have a given mmr, what you start with in your 1st ranked game, The mmr is high like silver but below like gold, and generally they will join the team with promos on the line, LOL, basically as a test to your promos, you better carry SUPER hard or your stuck in the elohell.

there are 4 chances for a noob to be put on your team and 5 chances for the noob to be put on the other team. it is a fact that over time most of the inexperienced players will be on the other team.

that means the new players will help you win more than they make you lose. unless you are a noob yourself. in that case you cant escape having one on your team.

Yeah, but if they don't make it easier to hit level 30, all of those millenials just cry and moan and stop playing and Riot loses business...

Sorry bout'ur luck bro, but they don't care about you, because you're already hooked on the game. Better get used to it.
