The challenger tier only makes sense if it was only applied to Ranked 5s. You know, because those 5s teams are the ones who will be 'challenging' for spots in the LCS.

TBH it looks like Riot has removed the incentive for the top strata of solo queuers to keep playing (being able to measure improvement) by obscuring infomation and using this new division system.

And he presses W, and just runs fast at you spinning.

Even if you do well harassing him, he just lolol heal it back.

I dunno, I'd just not play that matchup.

If he maxes E first, you'll max W 2nd so his speedboost will out last your root pretty fast. You'll also be susceptible to zoning from the bush if you don't ward it.

If Riot wanted to do an immunity system for challenger tier, they should have just made it 2 days, and after that if you're not winning more than X amount (that can be debated, somewhere between 55-60? idk) then you get demoted.
Hey! How you doin'?

Use the Strategy forum. Either Ryze thread or SQSA sticky.

TBH Neo Id move that sticky into this forum. Having in the strat forum is great, but its a bit hard to find. Much easier to just move from GD straight there.

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.

Its still elo dude. Challenger is just the front page, it's the top of the ladder and I assume it doesn't work like other leagues. If u sit at 0 pointz other ppl will pass you in elo and prolly you'll get demoted without even playing.

Everything is just a reflection of elo, if you are at 100 points and keep winning, in a week it's gonna have exactly the same impact as if this bizarre week immunity thing didn't exist.

Yeah, but there is definitely less incentive to keep playing when the only thing you can do is lose points or gain 0...

Honestly, why not put in both systems? You should have a visible Elo as well as a tiered challenger system.

Too many people were misinterpreting their elo and whining all day. I think the best solution would have been to still have the elo information somewhere but you need a third-party program to get at it, so people who really want to know can get it while everyone else can pretend it doesn't eixst

Another thought: Froststab/Yegg said that some of the Challenger slots are reserved for players already in a promotion series. Presumably this means that the system already reserves a slot for you before you've even finished your promotion series.

Couldn't someone then just start the first game of their promotion series, then just NOT play ranked, and effectively lock a Challenger spot that goes to nobody indefinitely?

That sounds like the dumbest thing in the world.

So I wouldn't even be remotely surprised if that was true, knowing Riot's tendency for system implementation.

I'd personally like it if Riot fixed the system they so recently implemented.; Never mind the perceived problems with the way Divisions work re: promotions/demotions, but we can't even see our own stats sometimes when the overlay screws up!
We can't see what League people belong to without delving into their profile, we can't see their most played champions because it's bugged to hell....these are really obvious client bugs that I'm hoping Riot will fix in this first patch but I haven't really noticed them acknowledging any of it as of yet.

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


Another case of good in theory, bad in practice. Hopefully Riot works out the promotion/demotion kinks.


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


Yes they were up front that it was 250 players. I like the idea of having a cap, but the system for promotion/demotions is the fucked up part.
