Yes read the whole post including the question/answer part. Everyone is going to be placed into leagues depending on their current and top rating. | ||

They can put me in whatever league they want. Just show me what my elo is relative to my friends and the best people. | ||

Just show me what my elo is relative to my friends and the best people. They should just remove all visible rating entirely and instead just replace it with a system where the only indication of your rating is a thumbs-up or thumbs-down next to the names of each of your friends indicating whether your rating is higher or lower than theirs. | ||

Then you don't tell anyone but the system actually just makes you thumbs up everyone so you always think you are the best. | ||

Leagues have nothing to do with who you play with at all and you can always go up in tiers until you literally reach the top with all the pros, read all the information in the FAQ. | ||

This is about how information is presented to you, not how you get paired. Ranking systems without negative feedback that stops you playing are what game companies having been moving toward for a while, but it's cosmetic. so theoretically if i get into gold tier, then if i go on a 30 game losing streak, i get matched up with crappy people? if that's true then this system sucks just like sc2 and sc2's system | ||

Hopefully it will be programmed well enough to ensure a nice arc in difficulty for skilled and new players alike! | ||

Again division have nothing to do with who you play against, it's just a fancy way to see where you are on the "ladder". Every loss continues to degrade your mmr (which is the elo we have now) and you will play with worse and worse people just like now, that part doesn't change. | ||

Sounds like the sc2 system, but with the opportunity to play a game to rank up. Yeah... I had somebody yell and scream at the start of my last game that finally, "we were rid of shit Elo system" (he proceeded to hilariously build random shit, get dunked and blame the team, so I guess I can see where he's coming from in terms of whining about Elo huehue). But "akin to sc2" smells like trash to me. SC2's MMR is basically hidden Elo. Our matchmaking system still matches you by skill level, but this “rating” is no longer visible and does not have any bearing on your seasonal rewards or ladder standing. Your standing in your league is now determined by your tier, division and League Points, not your matchmaking rating. And I hate this. How can I try to mesure my own progression is all I have is "hey, you're better than X random guy in that tiny tiny division of yours that isn't representative at all of the LoL ranked population". So what? All I have now is tiers? So whether I'm 1250 or 1499 I'll just be told "you're silver" all along (for example)? How is that satisfying? Yeah, sure, it'll try to put some of the people on my flist that play ranked too and are at the same Elo than me in my division. Cool story bro! But I don't care in the slightest. If they're on my flist, we probably play together anyway, so we have some kind of idea of who's good at what. But to measure my progression? This system just confines you to a single subset of the players and tells you "oh, look, you're closer to the higher division! It has absolutely no ties to the level of play of the other, countless divisions out there, but you can feel good about being #1 somewhere". That system may be good against ladder anxiety and shit because it lets you believe than you're becoming good and are doing fine and what not, but it stinks whenever you want to have a good idea of where you really stand compared to the rest. Fuck that. How's that "competitive"? | ||
