The reality is that really, everything is based off your "hidden" MMR, it's what the system actually shows you that becomes annoying. Tweaking the system is incredibly easy. Besides, it's not like they haven't tweaked it before. There has been many fixes for clamping, etc. and there are tons of changes that Riot made but were never made public. For example, around July last year Riot adjusted matchmaking to put a much more skilled team on the purple side to counteract the blue side advantage. Later on they fixed a bug that put too many Challenger players on the purple side. There are probably tons of other changes that got pushed to live that I haven't noticed because it's actually pretty hard to locate them despite having close to 100 million games of data to mine from. | ||

Sure, I like to think anything is possible. It's just comparatively bad. Other junglers do jungling better than him. The only thing he can do well is gank and counter gank. Even that isn't great. There's no guarantee he'll land two bombs for the stun. I mean, his first clear is three camps and he has to wait a few seconds to clear his third camp. He leaves his second buff up to be counter jungled and if anyone blows on him too hard during his first clear he's dead. He has to 100% commit to ganking lanes to earn an income. He can't farm the jungle well until he gets an item. Even with an item his clear is bad. So there's no "farm your way back into the game" for him. His objective control is terrible. He only has bombs to contribute to taking down a dragon and he doesn't want to tank it. But it's so much fun! Give it a try! | ||

You get level three then just start ganking like crazy. I think you pretty much have to start on red buff to get the passive hp regen. I tried it out and a wrecked during laning phase, hard. I went something like 4-0-4 in the first 15-20 minutes. Then I kinda licked balls because I suck at landing bombs and I was bad at applying the ult properly. I did it in a diamond game and the opposite happened, I got counter jungled hard by elise early but then lategame I carried with my slows/speed ups and ult. ended 6-3-12 or something like that. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when midgame I maxed E second and speed boosted my viktor toward their team and he just ran in before their adc could react and instabursted tristana LOL E maxed is so strong its crazy it also made me think of a fun gangplank centric push comp. Between barrels/gp ult/zilean bombs you have insane control over an area. I think if you added a heimerdinger and then tristana for your tower killer you have the making of an incredibly annoying team. as jungler you would probably want something like ekko just to keep bubbling your own team and make engaging really hard. Sounds like a funny team on paper | ||

A Gold I player from Season 4 takes significantly fewer games to return to Gold than a Gold V player, for example. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/4vKLCyt.png) To me this graph is a pretty good indicator of frustration, that's a lot of games for some people. It's more than I play in a season, but I never really have issues getting gold for free skins in the 10-20 games I play either so. | ||

If you are on the higher side of Gold it doesn't actually take that many games to return to gold. The struggle is real only when you were barely gold last season. Not to mention it takes time for players to adjust to the new season. | ||

But the vast majority of those gold 5 players probably are not actually gold 5 by "centered" MMR but Silver 1 by "centered" MMR. I mean, after 5 to 6 promotions its highly likely that someone who isn't actually gold 5 but rather the middle of Silver 1 will promote. If they play enough games they will get there by random chance. | ||

If they play enough games they will get there by random chance. that's because of elo fluctuation right? it's not like the player is silver 1 or gold 5, it'd be more like they are roughly ~1500 elo when the cutoff was 1520 or whatever it used to be. this means that if they pass 1520 then fall back down to 1500 they get placed into g5 because of the cutoff but they are still being matched with and against the same group of players. | ||
