  • I have an alt that I rarely play on (12 games total this season). The other day someone wanted to duo with me but I couldn’t on my main, so I played on my B1 account. I went 15-0-5 and did whatever I wanted the whole game. I think I was up 30cs to 2 early.

    I knew there was a skill difference from Emerald to low silver, but I didn’t realize it was that large, and I was a little tipsy. Anyhow, end result was me feeling bad about the whole situation. Obviously that game wasn’t fair for the players in it.

    In contrast, I played some norms last night with some friends last night and played an off role. I wasn’t tanking my own rank or destroying some low ranked players who didn’t deserve a loss. I hate the argument of “if it’s your off role you are terrible at it”. Obviously I’m not as good at my off roles as my main, but I also don’t move from Emerald to bronze in any role.

    People making excuses for playing on Smurfs are just shitty people imo.


  • I posted about a game a while ago. I was watching my friend’s game, he was G4 55%~ winrate. Got a B4 0LP 11% winrate guy on his team. The game before and after, the guy was playing with all Iron1 - B4 players, and the game after also. There was no logical explanation why the guy was in my friend’s game. It legitimately just looked like the system was fucking him and the rest of his teammates.






  • It’s industry standard at this point to do LoL like ranking systems. I’m sure you’ve seen the “I finally hit gold/plat after playing for 5 years” posts. We also know that the requirements for those ranks became easier recently, but people are still so proud of them. None of those people would be excited if they just hit 600 MMR again this season.

    It’s not too deep, if Riot is hiding MMR, they are doing it for their own good or that’s what the general public wants. Probably both.
