The League system isn't about improving the ranking system (Elo rating was doing just fine), it's about giving people clear goals and a gradual sense of accomplishment, it's an extension of the level-up. Except it doesn't give people a gradual sense of accomplishment, at all. And nobody tries to argue that it does. So why talk about it. | ||

That is because in the old system, the Elo was just a number, did not had a ceiling and therefore we had what alot of people refered to as elo inflation. Now the ladder jas a ceiling, 50 spots in challenger, and the division have to keep the same %of the entire population. So it makes it harder to.climb to fight the inflation that we get in the invisible mmr under the system | ||

And then there are the still troubling problems with WObbufett who just totally owns her Blissey got wrecked in Gen IV after the Physical/Special Split. Also Stealth Rocks was a crazy introduction as well. But yeah set-up sweepers are pretty terrifying. The fact that Wobbuffett has dropped from Ubers to Borderline, previous tanks/walls/sponges like Cresselia have just dropped to UU and the Lati@s twins and Garchomp are in OP is also pretty crazy to me. But Gen V is all about the weather wars anyway. | ||

I'm not saying I'm should be a Pokemon Master but I feel like I'm really stuck in Elite 4 Hell. Like I could totally 1v1 anyone in Gary Oak's division but the system is designed to screw me over so I can't. I get stuck with so many Youngsters and Lasses every game I play and I know I'm at least a Cool Trainer. 10/10 would read again. | ||

People are just mad that the system doesn't let them progress without them actually improving. For all people complained about Elo inflation, it did a good job lulling people into the idea that they were improving gradually even if they weren't because of the steady upward slide of everyone's Elo over a season. | ||

I could be wrong, but I feel that Gold V people are wayyyy worse than 1500 Elo players from last season. I think Riot secretly lowered the bar with the introduction of the new league system. | ||

I think Riot secretly lowered the bar with the introduction of the new league system. The "V" of any division is usually pretty shit; cuz you can't drop out of it. So if a silver player gets a lucky 10 game ranked winning streak, they get put into Gold, but now they can't drop out of it. | ||

I think Riot secretly lowered the bar with the introduction of the new league system. Since you can't get demoted by playing bad Gold V, Plat V, Diamond V players have a high tendency to be really bad and not truly be what ranking they are. You can luck out in placements and end up in Gold but really be a Silver or Bronze player and the only way to drop down would be to just not play ranked at all for like three months. You could be boosted to Plat V or Diamond V, or possibly gotten really really lucky throughout multiple promotions, and not truly be Plat or Diamond caliber player but stay at that tier for all of S3. | ||

It's also the hardest one to get out of if you are around that elo.There are good people and very bad people it's just so random lol. | ||
