Views: 9968 EUNE Shenanigans. EUW > EUNE?
|
Hi friends.
Been smurfing on EUNE for sometime now on my last season diamond account. The account got placed in gold 1 somehow and I've basically begun playing from there and I'm platinum IV atm. Here are the games so far.

So far I've noticed really strange bans in EUNE. The bans often look like:
Viktor,
Shyvana,
Kayle are permabans,
Zed and
Rengar are banned 80% of the time and the rest are variation of
Fiora,
Master Yi,
Fizz or just a random ban.
Facts noticed about skill level and overall compared to EUW: Mentality seems to be a bigger issue here (this is platinum though, ppl tilt fast) and viability of picks. I've lost most of my games because of afk player or someone just feeding on tier 4 champion who then becomes useless (or me trying out champions like
Orianna but let's not go there).
Haven't really seen a big difference as far as actual skill level and mechanics go. It might be because platinums are garbo ez pz anyways
. I know there is a difference from plat V and upwards because there are a lot less players in EUNE so I shall get up there and see the difference.
I'll probably highlight some of the weirder qq games like atm I'm losing a game where I have
Thresh ADC and overall just progress. i didn't want to post this to "Smurf shenanigans" thread as it's kinda filled with random stuff already.

I'll put EUNE server on hold for now.
(Sorry for using u as example LevasK without asking, just figured we're same elo so the player difference isn't much)
@Wayne:
Don't worry, no one reads blogs. Also, Shyv, Rengar, Zed and Yi got more than likely banned, cuz people just didn't feel like playing vs/with them and Fiora just got reworked and it's natural that people don't want their teammates to pick her.
I have mixed feelings about continuing to climb in EUNE as last 5 games contain double mid,
I can eloboost ya, ez pz, 1 div = 1 skin, fair pay for fair work :^)
P.s. I'm sorry about your bad luck :/
@Wayne:
P.S: I don't mean that EUNE is bad by any means, it's just less competitive.
It doesn't mean there are no good players on EUNE or that players who reach a certain rank on EUNE shouldn't be considered that rank until they reach it again on EUW, but at the same time there's no point trying to argue against it.
As far as the bans go, which of those do you think are strange, and which do you think aren't?
