Pobelter streaming ranked 5s with his new Cures jr team or w.e
Their team looks super strong. Don't know about Yoda on support but the rest of them are super good at their roles.

Woah hold up. I thought that was a normals only thing. Matching players base on anything other than rating (after primarily period of course) goes against the whole spirit of ranking and competition.

Is this because you're playing with people with less wins? I can see how this would be a good thing for players with over 1K wins so they don't get matched against people who have like 150 and don't have nearly as much experience.

It matches me with people who have more wins now than previously, and they're actually playing much worse. Only had a big troll today so it's nothing out of the ordinary, but the level of play took a huge hit. Feels like I'm back to equals w/l (while I built up a 70 wins over losses in the last few weeks).
What's the point of playing to improve if the progress's gonna be slowed anyway since every win also puts me closer to those people? :/

So I hope that when Riot nerfs Kayle (which they surely will whether she needs it or not) they just revert her AP ratio buffs instead of changing something like her Ult. That way I can keep playing AD Kayle in peace.

I actually don't think they will. I mean I'm hoping for the same thing but Riot reads player feedback and for a long time Kayle has been considered crap. It'd take a lot to convince them to nerf her.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Think it only really affects the lower elo ranges. Since the player pool is much smaller towards the higher end. It does much better at allowing you to avoid smurfs that are just going to stomp. If you truly are much better than the people with similar amount of wins, the climb should be quicker.

Trolls happen at any elo, regardless of amount of wins.

It's not in ranked, though, it's in normals. I agree that it should be better in ranked games near 1100-1400 Elo, but still...

He is having the issue in normals, not ranked.

I should go through my history and try to look for it, but I seem to recall a post explaining that they did it for the match-making in general, and not only ranked (which includes Dominion for example, not just TT and SR ranked ladders).

I hope you are right, I mean, Kayle is strong now, but that is really because of Non-Kayle things being FOTM like AD Assassin Mids and Towerdiving, which Kayle is strong against.

The matchmaker will now take into account the Number of Wins a player has in every matchmade queue (Normal SR, Normal TT, Ranked Solo/Duo, etc).
Its in the link posted up a little bit.

She shoves super easily and dunks a lot of standard mids just because her mobility is so superior to theirs, allowing her to apply her vastly superior dps. Sure there are counters to that, but she's also a very good deterrent against roaming because longer ranged or not, if she catches you in river she's going to kill you.

Doublelift thinks Trundle is secret op. Not sure I buy that. He can ult and pillar... that's about it. Granted I haven't used him in season 3 at all I think so I am speaking from a position of some ignorance, but I still have a hard time seeing it.

So I'm now sitting at a 7 minute queue for blind pick normals...and I'm not good. So far not a fan of the new matchmaking.

I must be the only person in the world having a harder time as Kayle. Must bcuz I'm still playing her top.
I think she's still playable. I definitely like her.
