People who already enjoyed trolling are now enjoying it tenfold because playing the game normally is all-time-high unbearable, thus trolling affects people much more significantly. People who didn't previously troll are now starting to because they're so dissatisfied with the state of the game and Riot's incompetence. Riot has consistently made the game worse year after year for several years. What people are experiencing now is the culmination of community frustration and dev incompetence.

I haven't played league since vanguard, because I don't trust it. But before I left, I went 9/10 in placements. I got placed silver4. This on its own wouldn't bother me much, fine, I placed silver 4. In early seasons that happened then you just climbed out of it. But I was legitimately placed in full emerald games with even LP gain/loss. If every single player on both teams is plat2+ EXCEPT ME, and I am gaining and losing equal LP, then why on gods green earth am I ranked silver 4 instead of plat 2? It honestly drove me away from ranked. If you place me silver, fine, I get it. But give me full silver games so I can climb to where I'm supposed to be.

This isn’t the ranked system being broken. This is the MmR system working as intended. The same thing happens in Call of Duty ranked, as well just most multiplayer games with a ranked playlist. In every rank, you are playing against players of equal skill. It is designed to keep you playing the game for longer.

[@lobobanguela6349]

Here's my most recent tale. It happened to me last week. Was on a game, as a Pantheon OTP top. Me and Skarner jungle were hard carrying the game. It was a nigh impossible game, but we were still making it a little bit close. Then my adc just decides to stay at fountain, sell all items and buy 6 daggers. I proceed to call him out on chat, explicitly saying that he is at FOUNTAIN for 5 minutes, sold all items and bought 6 daggers and was the reason we were losing. Well, we ended up losing the game, and afterwards, in the end game lobby, I received a message from Riot with the log screenshot, stating that my behavior was unfitting their game and was reported and so, I got a restriction and wasn't allowed to play ranked games for the bext 5 games. Mind you that in the LOG was the entire portion of the chat where I described with every word what the guy did. I literally was trying my hardest to win the game, had a troll on my game who FORCED me to lose, then said Troll proceeds to report me, and I was the one who got restricted. That's how bad Riot is at managing their game.

[@kishi8774]

same happened to me in aram.. won a game against a veigar 16 6 or something like that.. told him.. "get the fuck down". just that. nothing more.. got suspended for 5 games.. since then i just try to ping and dont use chat.. 2 or 3 people report you and you going to get ban 100% for ANYTHING you say.. you could say greeting people and get ban too.. doesnt make any sense and if you try to get help from support or they ignore you or say you were banned correctly..

[@H0m0f1rST]

My theory has always been the same: Money. Imagine the fizz main. He probably has every fizz skin he likes. But now he's probably spending barely any money on the game. So how do we sell him the same skins twice? Have him make a new account. Riot massively profits from people buying smurf accounts, hence why they haven't really cracked down on it. So I think riot in some shape creates more incentive systems to buy new accounts to sell more skins. Like the broken volatile ranked ladder or the hyper sensitive automated chat detection dishing out instant bans and chat bans. Either that or gross incompetence.

I have literally had accounts with a 56%+ winrate get hardstuck in high Silver because I gain like 18LP per win and lose 23 per loss, with a positive winrate. I played against someone in a normal game earlier this season who had only played their promos. They went 1-4 in their promos and were placed in Plat 3. How does this even happen? How does Riot let this happen? You essentially get punished for not just making a new account every season.

@@PlunkSama My friend has the same problem. His account's LP gains sink like a rock after a few losses in a row even when his split is sitting at like 55-60% winrate after a few dozen games.

You just need winstreaks and a positive winrate. It might take 10, 50, 100 or 200 games, but if you have a positive winrate and winstreaks your mmr will get fixed.. Losing streaks are very bad for your mmr aswell.

It used to feel that when I went a rank up the game got much harder but now if feels like I'm up against players who could be in plat or players who should be in Iron.

I just came back from a break too. Took probably 10-20 games to get back to the same rank the account has last time. I played in all elos, and if you can't carry in low elo (Bronze, silver, gold) Then you can't be very good, because if you just know a little about how the game works and know how to play a champion decent, you can 1v9 almost every game in that elo, simply by not being bad.

I've been easily getting Diamond since season 4 and was happy with that rank, so I stayed there for 10 years! Last split, I decided to push and got Masters! This split, I'm struggling to stay in Diamond. I've basically been sitting at D4 0LP this entire season with a 30% win rate after 50 games. Thanks for providing your examples. I got a theory based on all of that. Riot said they were going to test different ranked systems. The results could be affected if you tell the playerbase, so it looks like they tested one for a split without saying anything. You showed people heavy spiking up, which is peculiar as well. It's a new split, so they probably are running a new system or just correcting the inflation from the 'easier' system.

[@stephenjamborino7493]

No they introduced Emerald and changed the distribution of players in each division last year. Along with promotion series changes and LP gain changes there was a lot of elo inflation that Riot has been making LP adjustment and matchmaking changes to combat. This is the elo. The introduction of Emerald cause a mix and push up of players that do not belong in a higher rank. Now that the inflation has been curbed and is being corrected these players are complaining because they are not skilled enough to hit the inflated ranks. Masters inflation has also been occurring for years. Take a look at the year over year growth of Masters tier for the past 5 years. GM is the Masters of 2 years ago.

[@henrycheng7598]

​@@Rewleague If we assume that the average account has +20/-20 LP gains, the math says that to climb one full rank (400 Lp) you need a straight 20 game win streak to climb in the least number of games. However, even losing just 1 of those furst 20 games means that now you need to play a total of 22 games (21w/1L) in order to make the same gains. Scale that up and you see that with every point lost on your wr%, you significantly increase the number of games you have to play to get the same gains. Thats why more and more people focus on CONSISTENT gameplay in ranked solo/duo, thus changing the culture and dynamic of gameplay overall. Essentially what we are seeing is a case of more people playing with high intensity/intentionality and the more casual/lazy ranked players are thus getting squeezed down into lower ranks or finding that they have more inconsistent games. The sport is evolving, and will continue to evolve, grow more complex, and be generally harder to keep up with, just like any other sport invented. Introducing emerald definitely jostled the ranked ladder a bit, but as others have mentioned it is now normalizing with the new changes (fluid/dynamic LP gains and losses means its both easier to climb now than ever AND easier to demote). Each player today is given way more agency over their ranked climb than ever before in league history with the recent promotion/demotion changes, so I don't really see what is the imaginary issue with ranked that riot needs to fix. Perhaps the real issue is each individual's relationship to the game. For most people, playing under 100 games will not yield the necessary game knowledge absorption that they need to climb. But if we look at other aspects of life, it really isn't that much different. Most people need at least 100 reps in a certain exercise over several weeks in order to see significant muscle gain or significant improvements in mind muscle connection. Teachers assign homework because most students are not capable of absorbing necessary knowledge in just one 40 minute class session. Getting over your own mental fears will also require repetitive exposure to said fears, often in an exhausting and demanding way. And most people these days will require an INSANE amount of hours in basketball just to get to the level of an NBA player, even though that bar could have been much easier to pass in the earliest days of basketball. Considering that League is the most popular competitive online game in the world (and growing still) AND that each game lasts significantly longer than other types of competitive games (20-40 min per game is a HUGE time investment compared to CSGO, valorant, etc) it's time for people to reevaluate their relationship to the ranked queue. There is no shame in playing normals only, or flex, or aram, or QUITTING LEAGUE if that is what you need. It's important to not allow your own toxic relationship with the game affect how you "objectively" look at the state of the game. Yes you do need way more games to climb today than compared to season 8. Yes it is because the game is more complex, the average player is better, and THERE ARE WAY MORE PLAYERS NOW. But we can't be deluded by these facts into believing there is something fundamentally broken with the game now that wasn't there before. There's ALWAYS been smurfs, even in the earliest seasons. There have ALWAYS been trolls, afkers, cheaters. But like any statistics 101 class will ask you, what is your sample size (of games)? And most importantly, is it even worth it FOR YOU to invest in collecting a big sample size (of games) at this stage of the game's evolution? What is YOUR relationship to the game and how can YOU make it (the relationship) better?

It's an anecdote, but whatever here it is. . I was plat last season. I do my placements this season and win 90% of the games in placements. I get placed into bronze 1. I play about 20 games and I barely break into silver. I had a little bit of the standard bronze shit. Mostly just people giving up and leaving the game, which I know happens at all ranks. Though in my initial climb years back, I specifically remember lower ranks leaving games/giving up much more often. But what threw me off was that I was also playing with players who were clearly not bronze/silver. Picture perfect flashes, pulling off crazy high level combos, auto cancelling, orb walking, solid macro etc etc. And many of them were gold/plat/emerald last season. . I thought I was crazy and was afraid to say anything about it. But it appears I am not alone in this. I'm not claiming to be some crazy high level player. But I'm definitely not a bronze/silver player. . So it seems like two main problems: 1. I don't wanna have to fight my way through gold/plat/emerald players just to break out of bronze. 2. Games are turbo unbalanced because they are some random mixture of previous plat+ players and genuine bronze players.

We know why this happened though, Riot said as much. Last split, new accounts basically started in plat/emerald mmr, so it was easy to climb new accounts even with slightly negative win rate. Riot changed it so the new account mmr is silver. They also went back and adjusted new accounts from before the change, so people who were abusing new accounts before have a more accurate mmr. It’s likely that most of these players were never really plat/emerald level to begin with.

[@somasaasaa4850]

No, I was emerald last season and now I’m silver 3. Admittedly I did change roles but the fact I’m losing against bronze junglers is actually insane to me.

Now they're dropping thanks to the matchmaking and MMR corrections and they're blaming everyone else for them not being at the skill level they think they are. Game quality is improving, it's still not back to normal but it's getting there.

[@AlexHamelMusic]

The reset set most accounts nearer to their MMR, rather than their visible rank as far as I know. A lot of accounts between Gold and Emerald were highly inflated over the past years. While that does knock down quite a few players who didn't deserve their rank, there are an equal amount who have climbed back to their original ranks already, without a problem. For example, my main account has already reached the rank I had last split and last season. However, my level 40something smurf account (which I enjoyed levelling myself) got knocked down 800 LP in placements due to the inflated MMR of new accounts the past years. My main account was made in Season 5, so, it has a reliable history. Accounts made since 2020/2021 are very inflated. So, one of those people may have gotten away with being the heaviest person in a platinum game. But it's a lot harder to get away with it in silver. You may be the hyper-fed assassin player, but if you don't know how to close out games... what good will it do you?

I feel like the mental for all players in this game has broken. I love, absolutely love, the games where no one types in chat. When the entire team communicates in pings and are able to not flame the fuck ups then the game is easily in the bag. I get that it's tilting when someone fucks up or gets you killed but when you're able to brush it off and move on then your team morale is up. One game I was 0-4 on Jax against a 3-0 WW top. No one flamed me, they just let it go. I was able to keep my mental, played like a pu$$y for a while and then slowly got back into the game. I ended the game 12-6 with 2 levels up on the WW because my team's mental stayed strong. I've seen people throw fits and leave games after their first death or flame their jungles/supports into oblivion. Lanners running it down over and over because the game isn't going their way. I've had games where an ADC won't stop spamming FF because they aren't doing well while top/mid/jg are all fed and steamrolling the enemy team. The thing I see in common with all these people who are dropping elo like crazy, they can't stop being toxic. Doesn't matter how good you play when it's a 5v5 game and you tank the other 4 people's mental on your team.

100% agree bro. I've even seen myself fall into this trap, demoting a full rank or more by queueing when I'm tilted, spam pinging teammates useless pings, and being toxic in chat.

[@sfeeralol]

the reason for this should be hidden deep within rioter's tweets. last season they said that a lot of players had lucky winstreaks/unlucky lose streaks that put them where they don't belong, because it messed up their mmr and lp gains due to some glitches in the system. they then tried to repair it and implemented something else than losers/winners queue - the game now (supposedly) determines your skill by monitoring many factors and tries to put you in the rank you "deserve" at 50% wr. i think that it's somewhat true because when I played on a low rated account and actually tried my best I had almost 90% wr and lp gains moved from +18 to + 28 (sorry for ruined games). what I'm getting at is that rank is ultimately superficial and as it's a hard pill to swallow, people belong in certain ranks and not everyone can be eme and above (as rank stats clearly display)

thing about the game right now is that in lower elos the better team comp just wins, the game is in such a state where your team could go 20/10 and the enemy team would easily make a comeback out of nowhere just because their champs just scale better There were games where we were 25/9 and out of nowhere the enemy team wins a teamfight at drake, like how does that even happen, well it's because of the kog'maw that fed all early game and couldn't lane, but managed to get one single 1k gold shutdown and now is able to, for some reason, one shot all our team in seconds Yes you could say skill issue and to some degree, yes, it is, but the game just doesn't feel good to play, I had phases where I was really stubborn with league, I would lose 20 games in a row but I would get out of that game and say "yeah, I could've done a lot of things better", now I get out of games and say "damn I didn't play that optimally sure, but what could I do in that situation, nothing" because now it really feels like that, like you just can't do anything past a certain point. Focus the fed kog'maw, you'll die to the other 4 teammates defending him even if you manage to defeat him, your team will be low enough where the enemy team can finish you off and after that the enemy team will also be caught up and it will snowball for that, literally one bad play, one over zelous missplay costs you the game and that just doesn't feel good, it feels you were robbed, you were playing better than the enemy team 75% of the game and just because you made one singular bad play now they're as strong, if not stronger than you Playing league feels bad at the moment, I only play it with friends and if I try to play it alone in just 2 games I remember why I don't play it alone anymore, it just doesn't feel fun

Here’s the thing with League. No matter how hard you try, how well you play, how little mistakes you make; it has nothing to do with your individual performance if the enemy bot lane or jungle is 20/0. If the enemy team has better items than you, it’s over. Personally I feel like league should be more about personal impact than it being a necessity for a team to win. I get it, it’s a team game, but in solo Q you won’t always get a team to win. It sucks when you’re playing so good against your laner but then go 1v1 the enemy laner who has 4 items and you die instantly because he happened to just have more gold than you.

It sounds like there’s been a few games you’ve played recently where you didn’t have the agency you wanted because a teammate inted hard. Across 1000 games most of your team won’t int and therefore its on you to carry, the 30% autowin, 30% autoloss and 40% you can carry ratio is a pretty good one. Make sure to focus on what you can do to carry the game, sometimes if the enemy laner is so fed you should avoid them at all costs to increase your income, and hopefully the gold you’ve earned becomes 4-5 items and you carry harder than them. Once you figure out this formula, league becomes way easier and more relaxing (I know it sounds insane) to play.

@@Brandon-rt9ei that happened to me like three times before. back when plat was what we now called emerald and there were still placement matches. i was in my diamond promos. 2-2. lost the last one. from there, demoted down to p4 (what is now e4). said fuck ranked. came back again the next year after a long break. got to e1 98 lp. needed 1 win. at this point i was like 30 w 3 l. went on a massive loss streak. back down to e4. said fuck ranked. now this year, last split. almost the same thing happened. went up to e1 78 lp. demoted down to e4, but climbed back to e3. this split so far. peaked to e1 80 lp, down to e3. back up to e2 60 lp. back down to e3, back up to e2 87 lp. however, since i know more about the game. there were a few loss streaks i could've avoided. in my head i was saying i should dodge those games because i knew the enemy team would just destroy us (they had better comps). but i was like," surely my team doesn't int." well guess what, when you have someone pick ornn into a vayne, they're going to lose 9 times out of 10 and just int. and for whatever reason certain junglers, teammates just can't figure out how to not die to it. e.g. diana, shaco, nunu, or whatever. for me, i have like a 0% wr vs diana after probably 5 or 6 games with her on the enemy team. idk why whenever there is a diana, my teammates forget how to play. but had i actually didn't ego and just dodge games i knew were lost just based on comp or i knew had a high likelihood teammates would int just from experience, i could've avoided some major loss streaks. especially when those loss streaks started, you just gotta not play. i kept tilt queueing, which contributed to more losses than i should've got because i wasn't playing optimally and just making tilted decisions.

[@SoundZQ]

currently emerald 4 with 53% wr, i've been emerald for the last 2 splits all with positive wr so no way my mmr is gigalow and now i'm getting +18 -25 for NO reason, last split i was +26 -19 average, and don't let me get started on the players i have in my games, not just on my team, i've had enemy players just straight up leave after my teammates killed them, teammates that run it if ANYTHING goes bad, like a failed gank or them missing a cannon. It isn't just not fun to play soloq anymore, it's straight up infuriating and it's really weird since i haven't had these issues in past seasons, no one gets banned anymore, even LionL9 or the bateman guy that int games constantly are getting banned less and less.

[@tituskeksimusmaximus4956]

Wow no way. I peaked Master 250LP last split and this split I have been fighting for dear life to stay in Diamond III. At first I thought that I somehow became washed up overnight but then it kept going and I started thinking that I am cursed or something since when I honestly looked at my games, I kept performing well. I literally felt like a paranoid schizophrenic who thinks the system is out to get them XD. This video makes me feel so vindicated.

[@fmb6945]

Bro I feel the same way. I reached Master around 180 lps in both splits last season 13. This split im stuck in Diamond 4 games with positive winrate but still +17/18 -22/23. Im already struggling to keep my mental and i took the decision of quitting the game. Feel like shit having to play perma shit quality games for no reason where its imposible to have any consistent fun and not get tilted after max 3 games. Tbh i feel like i have to play like Nemesis or other pro Challenger player to just get back low master tier, game is broken and every day it makes less sense to play it. And lets not talk about the 3 split thing, in the current season 14, its the hardest ever to climb and you have the lowest time ever to do so. Completely garbage season, Riot clearly only cares about proplay or releasing new 500€ shit skins.

[@lazyruntzzz]

this entire season the rank has felt off. I spent all of split s13 learning the game, and slowly making my way to silver 3. S14 drops and i immediately dropped to B4. it took me the entire season to climb back to S4. split 2 is here and i'm b3 again already. and was placed B2 at the start. I don't even feel like playing if the game is literally stopping me from climbing. mega positive KDA but soloq is so cancer with players that genuinely don't deserve their rank, makes it impossible to win consistently. There needs to be loss mitigated for when teammates do exceptionally bad/basically int. I have had so many games with 0/15 bot lanes that are unwinnable games, and nothing happens, both to them or me. except we both lose LP because they couldn't stop dying. Leagues rank ladder is broken, hidden MMR makes no sense. Lack of discipline for players that int or smurf. There's so many things they could add to improve the ranked ladder, but they refuse and would rather us sit there with people who genuinely don't want to win, or straight smurfs. People just get away with anything and its disgusting.

EUW D3/4 peaker S14.1, first tryhard season usually high plat (old Emerald). Now Stuck in P4 with a 40% Winrate on 130 games - if u need more samplesize. I wonder if it was with the Emerald introduce since before it was rather consistent (eventho will never forget +12/-12). It feels like exactly what u said - alot of fresh/farely new Accounts who have absolutly 0 clue how to play the game or their champ destroy any kind of Gamelogic and make it unplayable.

[@Rewleague]

THANK YOU! actually listened, idk how people can deny the amount of level 30s is ruining ranked

[@garrettmcintosh3208]

I think a lot of this is issues from the previous split where people were placed much higher then they were supposed to be. Now we see the system recognizing that and trying to get them back to where they should be now.

[@Rewleague]

Its a tough one because i think thats half the problem but plat 1 to bronze 3 is craaaaazy not even inflation is doing that. The problem they have now is 90% of players are going to hit as a higher rank as before and it makes them feel like they’ve gotten worse

[@Rewleague]

Just to add on though if this does fix it and it was all just inflation its for sure a net positive

I was silver pushing gold the last time I played ranked. Granted I don't normally play ranked. Usually just fuck around in ARAM with friends. But I know how the game works and I've been playing for years. This season, I qued up for placements, won 4 our of 5 games and it placed me in Bronze IV.... a bit of an ego blow, but whatever. I figured I'd climb fast... The next 9 games were losses, FILLED with smurfs (or apparently people who were supposed to be ranked way higher by the sounds of this video). I'm now in Iron III.... still getting smurfs left and right and losing 30 lp a match and only gaining about 20-22 for a win. It's enough to drive me fucking insane. I'd like to add that I even was so frustrated and perplexed by this I submitted a ticket and they basically told me I'm where I should be and proceeded to explain how MMR and LP gains worked...

I swear there are two different ladders hidden beneath the ranks. I have one account I supp my GF with and it is playing legit bronze to silver games and you feel it. Then I am on one of my main accounts that dropped from plat2 to bronze 2 and I am getting 3 man dove with a stacked wave minute 4 while they juggle 5 tower shots perfectly. And i'm like yeah, this feels like bronze to me. Not to mention the guaranteed lvl 30 account every 2 games that crushes its opponent 11/0 by minute 12.

[@77Playmaker]

A couple of things you made me realise: - I have a friend that one year ago was master. He played yes but not this much. 4 splits he lost 4 ranks. We've done placements and i was plat 4 0 LP. HE GOT PLACED BRONZE this split. - Last year I skyrocketed. I've been silver for like 3 years. Then got gold last year. Then they added emerald, and i succeded in not only reach gold, but even plat. - Last split I did a 30 game winning streak. Finished at emerald 4. - But this after doing a 15 game losing streak starting from plat 4. Thank god demotion shields still exist. - THIS SPLIT IS THE SAME. I placed plat 4, won a couple of games, then LOST 20. WITH THE CHAMP I REACHED EMERALD (Kayle) and had 65 WR I ended this week at gold 1 20 LP and 22% WIN RATE. Lucky that this master friend that was now bronze had an account at silver level he let me break the losing streak and now i'm back to plat, but as a lone gamer i'm starting to fluctuate again. Dunno what happens. - I fear that if i'm not able to place emeald this split i'll end up in gold 4 next one if things now work like this. - My games are like: I love lategame champs. But i always end up like: top or bot feeds, or flames on 2 deaths, or just braindeads go wild if u don't do what they want. Even while drafting i'm seeing a flame i've never seen. Really. People that pick yuumi jgl as a retailation since u didn't let them last pick. Insane. My promo game to plat was one where my team went 35 deaths in like 25 minutes, but luckily i was kayle and was the only one to stomp the adversary. I succeded in reversing 10k GOLD disadvantage into 9k GOLD LEAD. A GAME WORTH OF WORDS MATCHES AT GOLD ELO.

[@77Playmaker]

In that game i ended doing 70k dmg in 39min and was 12.1.13

[@77Playmaker]

But I'm lucky that i play hypercarries. A zed could not have done that job in doing 1vs9.

[@Pendragon_ytt]

I have the same issues. I got Diamond last split with almost 70% wr with kayle but this season I have like 45% wr in E4 with kayle despite high kd's and 9+cs a min... now im role swapped to jungle because it's so unplayable

@@Pendragon_ytt Scaling champs in low elo is TORTURE, no one understands how scaling works and blames you for not having perma prio over the snowballing laners you’re against. It’s really annoying, even if you explain it you’re just the scapegoat to them, it’s never their fault for invading with no prio or forcing bad plays :/

[@Rewleague]

its literally riding the waves of teammates for winstreaks and loss streaks it feels awful

[@PanteraEnjoyer]

silver and "silver" are not the same. for all the players that are on high level accounts, even if you improve at the game it is much harder to climb. In bronze or silver at level 40 you will not be playing anywhere near the skill level of a bunch of level 300s in the same rank! When I abandon my account with all my skins and lvl, and use a fresh I climb way higher lol. I know if you get good at the game you will climb but it seems way harder. when my rank got reset this split I started going down, not back up. this is surprising because I was steadily climbing and finally getting teammates who don't lose on purpose but now I am dropping divisions getting shit like gwen jg and 2-3 autofilled teammates every other game (not kidding the autofill is always my team)

[@evanpennington1130]

losers que feels so much more aggressive this season, previous seasons losers que games actually had a chance to be redeemed, but now they're COMPLETE stomps

[@SirArtorias]

6 months ago I was Master. I just came back recently after the break and after 90 games I'm still Emerald. Now, this is definitely affected a lot by the fact that I have no ranked goal and I have a chill outlook in the game, but still, I'd never expect to not make it to at least Diamond after 90 games, even if I'm just chilling.

Do you really think adc needs a health buff? They are already at more then 650 base health when midlaners and supports are at 580-600. Even toplaners arent that high.

Because u did not deserve that rank, for some reason this split riot decided to put players in gold and plat as if it was the new silver. Now everyone cries as the ranks get stabilized and the boosted silvers get put where they belong. Sorry to break it to you.

[@curtisedwards9573]

Your pretty silly. That is 30 games without skipping divisions. And that is at 25 LP a win. If you just finished placements you would be getting like 40-50. So you play like 10 more games and your back in plat. I mean... unless your can't duo it by yourself. Unless your duo doesn't want to carry you again🤣

I can feel this, peaked plat 3(ended plat 4) last split but my first placement(I did lose) put me in silver 2 and ended silver one. I’ve been duoing with friends because that’s the only way I know how I can close out the match if there is someone I trust to help me. Currently hovering gold 3/2 on other champs but my main champ I have a 38% win rate on and I don’t know what changed

[@corbyblorby7360]

It's because they removed promos and people got elo inflated in 2023 where they "peaked". If you played placements on a fresh account you would get placed in Platinum and be emerald after 10 games played because you'd get +30 and -12 LP. People who were hardstuck in silver/gold/plat were also getting +30 -12 LP gains WITHOUT even having to play promos. This season Riot is trying to make the LP gains/losses more fair and an MMR based system, which is why people are falling back to where they were in 2022 rather than staying in Emerald. If you aren't performing you won't get +30 anymore and instead you will get +22 - 18 which is way more fair and reasonable.

[@MrRakan.]

Aside from the rank, I noticed a stark difference in my games now vs all the years before. In the past, even when losing, I had satisfying games where I felt like enemy is at the same level, and my teammates are of similar skill to me. It seemed more or less fair. Now the games are either me winning so easily against some noobey enemy, or losing hard against much more skilled people while also having a weak team. I noticed, even with me not being an expert or a pro, that my teammates lack basic understandings of the game. I feel like matchmaking loads my pockets with stones to drown me. I stopped playing a month ago, the game became really draining and I don't enjoy it anymore.
