This "turning normal draft into prisoner island" thing is so dumb, I sometimes play it when we got 3-4 people and want to play all together, now the probability of getting a very toxic teammate will increase? This is some serious bullshit...
Can the people too toxic for ranked even talk? Or are they chat restricted as well?
Not that it helps all that much, but at least they probably won't be berating anyone.

I can't believe Riot went through with it after the community's expressed hate for the idea. It reminds me of when we changed from ELO to MMR.

What is so unbelievable to you then, considering Riot has a history of pretending to discuss with its player base to blatantly ignore them afterwards (or cherry picking what they wanted to hear)?

Can we rename the brag thread for 5hat?

From what I understood yes, which is even worse, I don't care about berating, I want to be able to communicate with all the people on the team, which was usually the case in normal draft.

I don't want to start any drama like a dumb high schooler but krndandaman probably has just as many posts there as alaric does.
the issue is that other people not named alaric do a much better job of not posting their solo queue whine in the GD thread.

Does anyone actually know why all these heroes are fighting each other in 5v5 bouts? Not a fan of of that just being left unexplained because they don't want to tie the game lore with the game.
On the upside according to the Riot we can just ignore any champ bio bits that involve the Institute of War. So now Jax is essentially a crazy hermit with a lamp post. Seems legit. The game is divorced from the lore of Runeterra. The only thing that is consistant in how the characters behave. Think of it like how Smash Brothers plucks characters from Nintendo universes. so their lore overhaul is to have no lore at all.
Clearly they are going over things in an episodic instead of updating everything at once, making the change overwhelming to the people that will actually care about everything. Don't be pedantic.

lol so normal draft is now low priority queue except that people not knowing about it can accidentally queue themselves into it.

all normals. not just draft.

I don't get it: there's a huge number of toxic feeders that will now forever destroy normal draft games, and you'd rather they destroy a huge number of ranked games? If anything, this provides incentive to reform so that they can play ranked, an incentive that wasn't there before if they didn't care about chat restriction so long as they could play ranked.
|
the punishment before was that they couldnt play at all.
Also, when your punishment is to make people play normals, that means you dont give a shit about normals and see them as a useless appendix, which is pretty stupid since a ton of people do not play ranked.
And nonranked is important for player base health, SC2 had big issues with it when they didnt have nonranked and had to emergency-patch it in.
|
they are adding the not playing ranked as an intermediate measure in between no punishment and being banned, if they keep the chat restriction along with the not playing ranked restriction no one will even notice a difference.

I'm getting huge Asteroth vibes from that Sion pic.
A league book would be pretty cool. The setting is good enough, and if they flesh things out enough, I'd expect something that would be pretty well received... starring Teemo of course.

I've said this before and I'm saying it again because I don't think anybody's reasonably argued against it yet.
If Ranked games are more serious / more competitive than Normal games, then it makes logical sense for a player to be banned from Ranked games but still allowed to play in Normals.
|
people are banned for being bm/afk/talking shit (right?), I don't see what the difference between ranked and normal has to do with anything
|

|
People seem to think that this will turn Normals into a toxic cesspool. I'm pretty sure that there isn't enough players for that. Most people don't even play ranked.

Feel bad for the NA players right now, oceania had to deal with all these fkn DDOS issues earlier in the year.
