Is Riot's ranked system a pile o cr@p?

[quote=TakeshyKurosawa]Riot has totally destroyed the solo que system. Unranked and low bronze guys vs experienced low gold players, low gold vs plat 1-2, even a plat 1 can be put in premades vs d1-master-challenger.. Wtf is this? Why do I have to lose elo because some pricks want to bring their unskilled friend in the fields he doesnt belong? The new system can create seriously unbalanced teams especially in lower elos.[/quote]

[quote=Ekki]You clearly don't know how the soloqueue system worked before. You used to be able to duoqueue with whoever you wanted, now you have a one tier restriction for most elos and a 3 division restriction for Diamond. Playing as a group has never been more restrictive than it is now. You seem to be handing out guilt where there is only chance.[/quote]

[quote=Kirito67]As what the OP states its the truth. In key terms of victory vision is a "necessity" as in normal's your facing terrible players & smurfs that just want to steamrolled their opponents. So it all comes down to luck for this solo queue system.[/quote]

[quote=FatelBlade]Riot didn't destroy anything, they simply changed the rank system. You may have your issues with it but the bottom line is groups/friends can play together and have a good time. A large majority of the player base can still play full games with their friends while still being able to feel a sense of accomplishment.[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]If you played during Season 1-2 you would realize that it used to be worse; elo was just a variable number and your match-making was influenced by MMR far more than it is today.[/quote]

[quote=Ekki][quote=Kirito67]So it all comes down to luck for this solo queue system.[/quote]The fact that smurfs can climb plainly refutes this dumb statement (i.e. if you can't climb it's because you're not good enough).[/quote]

Listen well my smurf account is lv 21 so if i get stuck in the same tier, than this statement is true. Which is a fact we have terrible players who are exactly 15yrs and younger yet me belonging in that skilled based age group is disrespectful for my skill in overall video games.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]Skill has nothing to do with age lol. And I can get to Diamond in under 50 games on a fresh account without duo queueing with anyone, "premades" are not why smurfs can climb.[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000][quote=Vapora Dark]Skill has nothing to do with age lol. [/quote] not true. For example, a newborn can't consistently hit the correct buttons, and if we are talking about a fullsized keyboard, there could also be problems with too short arms. Also, if a 50 year-old who has practied a game for all his life and a [s]5[/s] 3 year-old who has done the same play a game against each other, the 50 year-old will prohably win because he has way more experience. edit: fuck, the 5 year-old could actually have a chance if he is ridicoulusly good[/quote]

If you're not good enough you'll obviously get stuck. Being self entitled about your "skill in overall video games" will only make you an annoying bronze in the long run. Admitting you have to get better (as opposed to focusing in your allies' mistakes) is the only way to climb.[/quote]
