I mean... maybe good for encouraging more ranked 5's but.... this kills the solo queue. I am neither gaining nor losing league points at Diamond I. Is this a bug or working as intended? edit: and I'm not at 100 league points. Also this system is so reliant on luck streaks. Like everyone at the top of their division is on their hot streak. Sometimes you get the perfect team, survive by 50 hp on those 1v1 trades allowing you to dominate your lane, etc. | ||

I have heard this is going to be addressed! V. silly that it takes 2 wins to get promoted to 0 points in the next division, but can only take 1 loss to get demoted to 50 points in the previous. | ||

(Not that I did that very often). Although I main Sona so I feel somewhat ripped off by the nerf to her figure. | ||

riot should have just made it so that you actually have to win more than u lose to gain points (this is what i think is happening to me in challenger right now) starting from diamond tier to make it an actual challenge to get 100 points for your promotion series in the first place. | ||

This challenger series encourages the shit out of winning streaks which is for the most part out of your own control and is very reliant on the team you get. #bringbackelo For the most part. | ||

I think Blue/Green eye colour > Gold in this case. If we're going for a Miku expy, then gold eye colour would be wrong. =/ | ||

Her shoulders are even more undressed so you can claim for that as long as there's no Nidalee in your game. ^ yeah it's more that the gold at least creates a contrast with her skin/hair/whatever compared to the blue they used, while retaining the "magical/enigmatic hue" that maybe they shot for. | ||

Hell, if they wanted to they could keep this whole league system. Just put back in the normal Elo. Then just have 2 options: show rank in made up division and show rank overall, and be able to sort play like that. For example, in Diamond you would still be in Teemos Mind Control Shrooms or whatever, only you would have your actual Elo next to your name instead of the LP thing. And in addition you would have an option to increase sorting to include ALL of the Diamond devisions, not just your own, to see where you stand. The problem with this system is that its STILL based on Elo. Your old Elo never went away. Instead they just draped this new LP system over the top to obscure it. And the problem is that the new system is SO good at obscuring it that the system makes absolutely no sense. | ||

Rage away, I won't mind. This is completely warranted. Bad system is hilariously bad. I feel bad for guys like Chrispy and LoCi. ;; | ||

I'm honestly not even sure how this would be good in theory. Did we even know about limited # of Challenger players before today? Edit: 7 day immunity? That is a tad long imo. O_o | ||

What they needed to do with the system was just update the ladder rankings in real time, on their front page. Not really that hard. but NOPE. Decide to do this new bullshit system. | ||

Then you actually SOLVE the stupid challenger problem, at least a little bit, because top Diamond players can look at their Elo, look at the bottom of challenger's Elo, and have incentive to play and catch up. Aint none of that here. | ||
