This is an update to my post made by homoton romoton. Its important i give a new update with a new review so as to give reviewers a clear picture of what they are playing. While i still stick by my previous comment that this game is still strategy based in the form of counter picking champs and teamwork is most important, the game by its own core, is unbalanced due to certain champs having more OP skills then others. Just go to league balance for bronzies in youtube and see the huge amount of negative comments over there. And poor Aurelion Sol is crying in a corner.
Also ranked in LOL is a joke system, there are smurfs who purposely screw players ranked in game, and i end up losing my iron promos and getting stuck here when i keep getting <insert anime name> trolls who purposely int for example, by resetting my jg buff repeatedly so that i wouldnt be able to level, inting on purpose by running to tower and die, and purposely refuse to help the team with clear intent on chat. Now you might think: oh it is just 1 game out of 10, you can still climb. Wrong! this happens frequently at least 50% of the time from my experience. I submitted video and image evidence to riot and while some of them were punished, my LP were not reimbursed.
Other times i would go on win streaks with decent teammates, then suddenly i was paired with bronze/silver teammates who go 0/5, sometimes 0/9 at the end of the laning phase! or i will get OTP that was autofilled a role they dont play and then proceeded to int or quit the game! i end up losing as much as LP i gain, sometimes even gaining only 8 LP at the end! what kind of a joke system is this? the iron player who does better then the bronze/silver teammates in a higher elo match gets punished so severely? i then went on to play flex, even beating platinum players ranked in lane and was ranked higher because players there coordinate a lot more, but my solo queue ranking and matchmaking rating is destroyed due to trolls.
I have more then 5 screenshots from my teammates agreeing that i do not deserve to be in iron when i was playing a silver elo game, bronze game, even op.gg stated in those games i was 2nd to 4th, which was a good average as i was impactful in my team, but when i win i gain 18 points and if i lose a match i lose 16? sometimes when i win i gain a grand total of 8 points?????? really? i literally play 2 divisions higher, sometimes one and thats my LP gain? and the icing on the cake when i go to league of graphs and check the worst players in my team, the one who fed the enemy laners, they lose only a grand 6-8 lp, there was one who literally loses 0 LP? is this some kind of a joke? thanks for the 200 years collective experience...
There are so many ways to fix it. One is to give players who play a higher rank match then their current rank a bigger LP boost rather then this joke system where you win less but lose more LP, second is to badly punish by increasing their LP reduction on those who go 0/5, 0/9 in their lane, with a way bigger LP reduction on players who purposely int and LP reimbursed to their teammates a day after the match ended based on evidence provided by support tickets or the report system ingame. Finally individual performance should factor a huge lot in LP reduction. A player who plays and performs better then their teammates in terms of objective and macro play should have their LP reduction reduced should they lose and not this bs system when you win 8 pts, 13 pts but lose 16 due to a afk or clearcut int feeding !!! Teammates who suffers unfair LP loss should be drastically reduced.
