If we work under the assumption that plat players are probably going to win the majority of their games in season 2, then given elo acceleration they should be higher than where a gold player could achieve after about 3 days simply because their winning percentage should be higher. And so on and so forth. It will suck for a week, but acceleration makes the process EASIER and FASTER simply because the law of averages dictate that on average, bad players will drop and good players will rise.

Jiji will be out of range to play with s1 gold by tonight. The rest of plat by the weekend. Whereas average players will bounce around 500 and stay generally in the 1200-1400 point area, which is where they would have been anyway.

Or if your actually good you can just streak in the right direction. Your playing with the same people you would have played with otherwise (assuming, of course, that everyone you play with is active) even if they didnt have acceleration.


Streaking good is complete luck considering the range of players currently playing at X elo. I'd rather just wait until most people have their ELO settle and I can destroy 1300 players in lane and carry the game.

Well before it would be like 2k player (you) + four 1300's vs five 1300's and you could win 80-85% or so, now it's more random- I've had good luck, but last game I had 3 players who were s1 plat on my team and they had zero- if I had ended up on the other team, probably would have lost.

However, there aren't THAT many plat players total (<1%? i forget) and honestly it shouldn't skew it by that much. I'd still say a 2k player post-reset should be winning like 70-75% at least.

Anybody else play any dominion today? It was very fun, fast paced, lots of big team ganks and cool powerups and all that. It'll be a nice change of pace from normal IMO

The few rare times where Dan smites something correctly, he apologizes to his team for missing the smite because he was preoccupied.

That aside, I think champs with good sustain or bruisers in general are gonna be very strong on Dominion.

EUW and EU has been treated terribly since forever sadly.

The assumption doesn't hold true. Even jiji, who has been duoing almost exclusively, is still dropping games because of retarded teams. The problem is its a crapshoot on getting 5 s1 plat players vs 5 s1 bronze players on your team. Better plays will eventually pull ahead, but streaking wins and losses is very likely given the randomness in skill level of what's on your team.

Accelerated Elo just means if you streak in the wrong direction it's that much harder to get back where you should be. It is, and has always been, used for new players because you have nothing to base their skill on, whereas the majority of other players are already ranked appropriately. Accelerating Elo in the manner they did goes against the way the actual Elo system works.

HSGG just got denied a pentakill on Akali either because of GA (popped GA less than 1 sec after the previous kill, and finished the enemy off less than 1 sec after the revive), or because his enemy quit right after the quadra.
Both seem kinda weird.

The announcer should really prioritize "PENTAKILL" over any other announcements. It's kinda weird how if you don't space out your kills just right, you don't get the penta.

I don't think Dyrus will survive this reset. He's getting angrier and angrier as I watch.
