You would think so, but I main support and you wouldn't believe how many people can't follow up on some plays.

Overall the ranking system is complete shite right now. Having both MMR and the league ranking system doesn't make sense.

Logically, yes.
In practice, no.

If you win a lot at your rank, you will play higher ranks. The system in place makes it hard to advance no matter what level you're playing at. The more you win, the higher ranked people you play. You don't just play people within your own ranks. If it were a flat system, I would agree with you. But just in our 5s, the last game we played we had a plat II, and all other pplayers on the team were gold, all higher than us. We got those people because we won 6 in a row, and as we won, we got progressively harder teams.. even though we're still in Silver I.

This is why the ranking system is broken. It is also another point proven by our ranked 5v5's team. We win our first 6 games. Fantastic. In our 7th game we're playing a fricking platinum when we're a team full of silvers on a team placed in silver 1. How in the hell do they match a silver 1 team with a plat? That's TWO WHOLE LEAGUES apart. But because our team MMR was so high, it happened.


You can't "stomp" games no matter what league your in because you are always going to play people around your MMR. Silvers don't play silvers. Golds don't play golds. You play your MMR. Period.

First ranked game of the day:

1/5 Teemo
2/6 Cassiopia
2/6 Udyr

Me and Hulk chilling in bot lane watching all of this go down. Their Akali ended the game with 15 kills in 21 minutes. I fricking hate ranked.

Ranked 5s is completely different than the solo queue. Ranked 5s just work based on team mmr as a complete team. So if that team with a plat has the same team mmr thats who you play. Solo queue works i get diamonds all the time on my gold account. its not usual for me to be the only gold in the game.

if your not stomping games at your mmr that pretty much means your at the correct mmr

that's pretty much the only problem I have seen is silver one type players unable to carry to silver 1. it's possible to do but it takes a long time for them to do it

I don't think I've ever seen a game where its own fans hate it as much as LoL.

LoL fans don't hate LoL, they hate the ranking system.

I just bought Kassadin, and he has to be the easiest champ in the world to play.

Step 1: Play passive until lvl 6
Step 2: ????
Step 3: Profit

Once you hit lvl 6, then there is no mid caster that can really touch you. You can get your entire combo off on them before they can touch their keyboard. It's beautiful. I don't know why he doesn't get played more.

That charm almost hit.

ETA: It is kind of dumb that Ahri can ult IN to the Baron pit but can't ult out. I have to admit when I was learning Ahri I did that. But I didn't waste all three charges trying to get out.

He's a massive priority pick in China right now and he's getting played in the NA LCS, too. People are afraid of him because smart teams can completely shut him down in the laning phase before he hits 6. But once he hits 6, he can start roaming and just farm champions to get back into it.

ETA: Played him with great success yesterday.

17/4/5
14/1/2
13/2/7
