EPTI don't even have friends to play with because I'm an anxious misanthrope. And you know what? I don't give a shit about this change. And if the matchmaking works at 99% of people's level, I'm going to give even less of a shit about it.

Quality comment after 5 seasons of solo queue's existence without much complaint towards the basis of the system. Not to mention that the ladder gives you rank for your SOLO performance in this team game. Jesus, we are reaching /r/leagueoflegends level now. | ||

It is like the common mistake of people thinking them duoing and being friends makes them better than the average 2 competent players at same mmr. So taking that line of thought, you shouldn't care if you're the solo in the premade 4s game? | ||

That means when the system tries to balance it out your diamond 5 could actually be a gold 4. Not even gonna start on the whole boosting thing since it is very common anyway. | ||

Four premade have an absolute power over you, while in solo queue you are all equal. Communication comes after this. You can try to convince your solo queue team mates to do something and fail. Happens. 5 people can go 5 different ways after all. But good luck even having a discussion with a 4-men premade. Also, in solo queue the blame is not centered around one person. Yes, junglers get a lot of shit, but if your top fails a dive twice and calls out your jungler, the others will most likely defend the jungler (again, not talking about silver elo). Good luck not being blamed in a 4-men premade. Edit: But le me share with you my normal draft 4men premade experiences as the lonely player in the team: 1. Utter silence in chat. As rebecca Black would say: FUN-FUN-FUN 2. They said they are leaving. They left. All of them. 3. I was first or second pick, last pick said he's going mid. I said no, and I picked mid (yes, this one can't happen, I know). I got called all kinds of racist slurs and such. When the game started, they (with their troll picks) followed me around everywhere, and fed like crazy. At the end they said they are reporting me. Can'T wait to relieve the memories!!! | ||

The more Friendship Talisman you share together with your buddy-buddies, the more IP you will get after games. This is all that matters, after all. Having a jolly good time with your friends in this team based strategical-fighter game. (ancient purist players won't get shit, this is not some anti-social game, and you should feel left out if you refuse to buddy-up, and you shall be reminded that you are nothing but a scum, a necessary wrong to fill up the game for bud-buddy-buddies.)

You may feel that the system works, but Riot has clearly stated they have data and research that shows the experience could be improved not just for players already playing ranked, but for those who have stayed away because playing solo doesn't interest them. I'm all for Riot trying to improve LoL, even if they sometimes miss the mark. While there will almost certainly be bumps along the road, I don't think this will be one of those misses. | ||

Bottom line is that they are introducing a new feature while completely erasing an old one. They create new fun experiences while shitting on old fun experiences. Just seperate them for God's sake and everyone's happy. | ||

Riot is trying to preserve your fun experience while enabling new fun for everyone involved. There will probably be a few problems initially, but I think it's an achievable goal. | ||

Last picks can ban ---> improvement You can always get what you want ---> improvement Solo queue erased ---> a change Now, this change is either welcomed or crucified, but it is NOT an improvement. Improvement means upgrading something to be better, faster, etc. 70 miles per hour is faster than 60 miles per hour, no one can argue that. Saying dynamic ranked (discounting the pick/ban improvements, as they should be treated seperately) can not be called an improvement (nor a step back, for that matter) over solo/duo queue. Right now, they are taking measures to not only create problems for me out of nowhere, but to completely pull the rug under me. But it's fine, because RiotLyte said he knew in advance it will frustrate me. What a wizard, he is. | ||

They aren't improving the old feature, they're replacing the old feature with a new feature and you can't just say it's an improvement, especially if you state it like a fact like you just did. You aren't the authority who decides whether something is an improvement or not. Probably for most people under Diamond 4 or so it won't matter, but above that it will significantly affect both the accuracy of the rating system and the queue times. | ||

Behold and witness the 1% then. But I like your style, trying to solve this discussion with numbers you pull out of nowhere, and basically saying nothing at all. To show you how empty your case is: - Your favorite champion gets removed. Entirely. So what? 99% you are wrong to complain. - A game mode (blind pick, dominion, ranked, ranked teams, teambuilder) gets removed. So what? 99% you are wrong to complain. - Some of your skins get removed (no fund, you already used them a lot) because RiotLyte says they are too ugly, and he knew it will upset you. So what? 99% you are wrong to complain. - Another champion gets removed. So what? 99% you are wrong to complain. - Your family gets removed. So what? 99% you are wrong to complain. - You get removed. So what? 99% you are wrong to complain. There is flawless logic, and there's your 99%. | ||

The old elo system is much better than the current system though unless you have ladder anxiety or w/e Also I hope by now you realize what a joke Lyte is. Division borders and 4man premades aren't toxic but sandbox mode and voicechat are. Sounds like a cheap excuse for being lazy. I'm surprised he didn't say a new league client would be toxic. Then again, what other video game company hires a fuckin psychologist. Lyte is probably just a scapegoat in the big picture | ||

The game is meant to be a group game not a solo one so it was always weird the primary method of play put emphasis on being solo. DotA specifically disallows 4-man ranked. 1-3 and 5 are all allowed, but 4-man specifically cannot queue ranked because it's the most likely to end up as a shitshow. | ||

It would suck here at EUNE, but in the US for example, I had to rethink my stance. The ranking system would still needed to be seperate, but with a voice comm and a common language I could live with premade 3s and going up against a premade 5 as 2+3 once in a blue moon. | ||
