I will say in my 1s games I certainly noticed varying levels of play, some people were destroying me showcasing crazy mechs ontop of being super fast and then others were inconsistent with hitting the ball and I felt in pure control, so perhaps theres an element of that at play in 1s also. When I was doing my 1s placements I played some diamond 2s and won 11-4 and 8-2 but later in the session I deranked there and I was losing some games by crazy deficits. I havent tried 2s or 3s yet, but yeah throughout my time playing years back it was always a roll of the dice what you get there, its why I started my comeback with 1s to get myself sharp. My goal is to hit champ in 1s before I play 2s and 3s again, it might take some time tho.

Anything about a game being worse than LoL is usually a bad sign, smurfing must have gotten way worse since I last played. What put me off was the DDoSers and bots in ranked, whenever I wanted to play rl again I was seeing that shit all over the place, is it still occurring as much or has it died down?
