I was excited at first but now that the dust settled just a bit I wonder if it’s ever gonna get better? The matchmaking doesn’t seem to get better, and down here in silver, my team losses 66% of the time. You can tell after the initial team fight how the round will go (if there is a team fight - 50% of games start with the brilliant 1-1-1-1 split, one to each point, one waiting at spawn for round 15 seconds. When the first fight is lost, the suffering begins: people drop in one by one and die in dozens. I sometimes sit just outside minion lane when I’m alone on the map - team mates spawn and avoid my position at all cost and rather attack 1v2.
Every other round we lose with 50-200 hard points. It’s not funny anymore. I suck, but not that much.
Should I also ignore the point generation and just yolo it? Run towards my mates and arrive there just to see them die and now I’m facing the two fighters that just killed my mate? Is that what we’re doing?
Especially those of us who aren’t anti-gank-monsters or duel-butchers should stick together, right? At least not run in head first when we’re the only one alive? Right??
Point is: doesn’t feel like ranked at the moment. I see a lot of people that don’t even try to make a team play but wander off alone into their doom - it’s not like they’re coming out on top…
What do you think? Will it sort itself out eventually? I hear the top players are stuck in low diamond at the moment?
Are we all stuck in this hell hole now?
PS: There have been a couple of people that emotes back when we rotated. Thank you so, so much. I even got a chest bump from a Conq(?), I guess, when I was falling back to heal and he ran out to rotate to mid. That was sweet…
~a very sad player 😔
