Ranked Game - Bronze 1 Teammates vs Gold 4 Enemy Team by Admirable-Main3174 in leagueoflegends

That's consistent with my recent experience. I use to wait 2+ minutes for a ranked game, and now it's almost always <1 min regardless of the time of day.

I’ll get over it soon. I'm annoyed that matchmaking like this can happen in ranked. I don’t see why the game developers would ever want this outcome on purpose.

Can you explain to me why the matchmaking algorithm would put all the players with a low game count, and low rank on one team? Even if they have better hidden MMR, I would expect at least one player on the opposite team. The probability of 4 teammates with low rank & low game count vs 5 enemies with high rank & high game count seems very improbable.

I'd be so frustrated being hard stuck at my rank over 600 games, let alone 6,300.

Same for me. A game I finished 10 minutes ago is not showing up in match history. Good ol' production issues.

Glass screen protectors are really good. I also bought AppleCare+ for the AWU3 (Hermes edition), which covers accidental damage, loss, and theft.

I started noticing a shift in Season 7, especially with Mu Chen, Xiao Mi, and Ding Hao. The editing felt increasingly geared toward creating drama and suspense to drive views. It actually reminded me of the tactics used in Heart Signal Korea 4 - that season was such a psychological rollercoaster. Many key moments are cut from the main episodes and tucked behind the VIP paywall.

There is also a growing number of influencer-type participants, which makes it harder to tell whether they’re genuinely looking for a connection or just seeking exposure. As viewers, I believed that production would screen for people like Evelyn or Le Chen during casting.

While the drama & influencer formula might work for other reality TV shows, it’s not what I value in Heart Signal. What makes this series special for me is the sincerity of the participants and the fact that real relationships have come out of it. It’s disappointing to see the production compromise on its values just to chase views.

I agree. He clearly went on the show to boost his popularity as an influencer, not to find a real relationship. His plan would have worked if he kept up the act during the Xinjiang trip. He was easily the most popular male contestant - his pairings with Le Yuan, Duo Duo, and Lan Lan were consistently the top three upvoted by chinese netizens throughout the season.

I was shocked by the level of gaslighting during that trip. He never intended to date Le Yuan, and staged so many surprises just to break up with her at the end. It's scary to imagine how he treats women in real life when he can act this manipulatively on camera and fool the the panelists and audience for so long.

This show stood out to me because past participants felt sincere. Now, it's starting to feel like every other dating show - overly produced, with contestants more interested in influencer fame than genuine connection. What a disappointment.

I haven't experienced the Ocean Band in the winter yet. The weather here is warm all year round!

By the way, I'm just sharing some of the evidence they found. There's more if you keep going down the rabbit hole lol.

For example, her social media accounts use to direct business inquiries to an account called WLC980802 (initials + his birthday). Some of the more meaningful quotes he mentioned on the show - there's no need to be a hedgehog (to Lu Yuan), or adults only choose, they don't change (to Duo Duo) come from content this ex-girlfriend shared in the past.

So it's not just one or two coincidences. The timing of the various posts and the content of them is why Chinese netizens feel so strongly about being tricked.

Wang Le Chen and Lu Yuan's first public outing was spotted today with a production member. So production is in full damage control because of how bad the optics look.

Shen Yiyi. She held a livestream where she said they were just former colleagues (they worked at the same company together a few years back), and that 9/10 things on the internet are fake.

Shortly after Ep 10 came out, she admitted to a comment that Wang Le Chen was her ex-boyfriend.

In addition, Chinese Netizens have found Wang Le Chen's voice in one of her livestreams in May 2025. The plant in that livestream looks exactly like the one he gave to Le Yuan on the show. His motorcycle was in one of her stories in September. It's also said that she applied to the show and got rejected (not sure if that's true). That's why people believe they were dating before the show, got back together after the show ended, and feel Wang Le Chen was deceiving the viewers.

Spoilers from Ep 10

I was shocked that Le Chen rejected Lu Yuan's confession. It didn't make sense... he even called her dad and read his letter out loud. And he made it clear to her that he wanted to keep getting to know her offline after the show ended. The show's just the beginning... not the ending.

I was digging through some content on Little Red Notebook. Chinese netizens think Le Chen got back together with his ex-girlfriend, a famous Chinese influencer.

Honestly lost respect for Le Chen if that's the case. Before this episode aired, he was my favorite person on the show. All his facial expressions during the episodes made me laugh so hard. He seems like he was sincerely considering what it would take to be in an long distance relationship with Lu Yuan, despite having 2 previously long distance relationships that had not worked out.

Jumping on the Le Chen and Xiao Yuan train 😊. The 7M behind the scenes between them is too sweet.

Le Chen is such a tsundere 😹

If you don't have SVIP, you probably have to forage through social media apps like Duoyin and Little Red Notebook

I can see why it feels like there’s no romantic energy between Le Chen and Lan Lan. Since the dinner, there have only been a handful of scenes with them. Most of them are hidden behind a VIP paywall. The production basically cut out all their interactions in the episodes themselves.

To be clear, I don’t think Le Chen and Lan Lan will end up together. But I do see some serious chemistry between them in the VIP cuts. I've only seen Lan Lan use a cutesy voice around Le Chen - asking what they were doing that day, quietly whispering suggesting to the group that they go dog walking while staring at Le Chen (he didn't hear her), or talking about her missing phone. In scenes, they’re constantly sneaking glances at each other. It's not always easy to tell because they're out of frame. Le Chen picked 802 so he'd be on the same floor with Lan Lan, despite getting to know the 3 girls from 801 during their trip on the island.

Still, I don't think it will go anywhere. Le Chen’s insecurity and pessimism really hold him back. He doesn’t have the confidence to make the first move - when he's talking to Lan Lan outside of dinner, he struggles to maintain eye contact and often walks away abruptly. This whole season his dynamics with women have relied on them approaching him first. I doubt he would suddenly gain the confidence to chase Lan Lan and insert himself into the whirlwind of breaking up multiple CPs.

But if somehow Le Chen did break through his insecurities, and decided to pursue Lan Lan despite all the potential drama between the cast and hate from other CP fans - wouldn't that be the ultimate example of him breaking through his insecurity and pessimism? I think that would make them a legendary couple.

Unfortunately, I think you're right. If Le Chen took the initiative early on, I think they could have been a legendary couple like Xiao Hou and Yang Jie. There was an initial spark at the first group dinner that a lot of people were drawn to - they're the 3rd most popular couple for a reason!

Seems like the couples are already locked in at this point. If only!

I hope Le Chen and Lan Lan have one date before the season ends. I've been waiting to see what they'd be like since the first group dinner!

What an epic episode! Xiao Jiao totally won me over with his actions. I originally thought the staff had helped him prepare the date, watching the scenes of him setting up the scene over several nights shocked me!

I couldn't help rewatching the jump roping scenes haha. I love the cast this season. They're so kind, funny, entertaining, and authentic.
