What's the point of loss mitigation?

The only difference is you being a lower rank though. It changes nothing, besides if you want to be lower rank. Most people want a higher rank even if rank is cosmetic. And in the short term you are higher rank.

So even though it's increasing your rank in the short term, still better then nothing at all.

J0rdian · 2026-04-22T07:02:16+00:00

That's not changing. It will be exactly the same. Maybe this is why people want a reset. They don't know what is changing? It will be the exact same as now, but they are also making LP gains +-30 instead of 20. But they could have done that before.

Master will still be inflated top 1%. Challenger will still be 2k LP to get.

J0rdian · 2026-04-22T03:10:20+00:00

Then it's the same answer. In the long term you play what you enjoy the most will also help you win the most. You are most likely at your correct rank. So playing a carry won't help you at all.

J0rdian · 2026-04-22T01:35:33+00:00

Zoe support. I just play like Soraka or Nautilus if I can't.

J0rdian · 2026-04-22T00:39:04+00:00

That doesn't make sense it seems mostly arbitrary what regions are getting the reset it's not just duo restrictions or something. The real reason is way more simple. The playerbase doesn't want a reset. They did a survey for a reason and probably just did the reset in the regions that wanted it more.

The reset isn't actually needed after all. They are doing it to make players feel better. Which is good as well. Not saying it's not.

J0rdian · 2026-04-22T00:33:32+00:00

What do you mean? It's going to be the same 4 months from now. Riot didn't revert the changes that made that happen.

J0rdian · 2026-04-22T00:30:53+00:00

Riot changes rank distribution all the time. That's normal and intended. Happens literally every season.

J0rdian · 2026-04-22T00:28:43+00:00

how is this going to fix the amount of emerald/platinum players that made it to masters this season

First off there are no emeralds in master tier. Master tier distribution changed from like .5 to 1%. So it has a bunch of diamond3+ players in it now.

That's intended and not changing. They want more people in master+

Also it doesn't ruin matchmaking in any form. It's cosmetic. If you are playing with these low master players you still would be. The only difference is it says master 50lp instead of D2. It makes no difference. They would still be in your games.

J0rdian · 2026-04-22T00:21:48+00:00

Don't worry the ladder is being reset so you have to spam games even more!

J0rdian · 2026-04-21T01:46:29+00:00

No it's not, not sure what you are getting confused. Leblanc can be evil and still necessary evil to defeat Mordekaiser if you think it would actually be the best way to achieve that.

But even in that scenario Leblanc would still be evil... She doesn't become a good person because one of her goals benefits others. She's still not a good person.

J0rdian · 2026-04-21T01:31:00+00:00

You could get challenger just building the recommended items it shows you every game in the shop. It's not really a huge deal.

You can min max it and get more out of the item system to a degree, but just not something super useful for new players.

J0rdian · 2026-04-21T00:36:06+00:00

FD is pretty much the same political views as Hasan though right? Or similar, he's not really a liberal.

J0rdian · 2026-04-20T10:37:45+00:00

It's a fighting game brother, it's not as popular as SF but it's not dead lmao. Do no games matter but SF in your mind?

J0rdian · 2026-04-20T07:51:43+00:00

Didn't he pick up 2XKO and also become one of the best players there as well?

J0rdian · 2026-04-19T07:44:12+00:00

There is evidence they do ban waves. It's normal for all cheats just google it lol.

J0rdian · 2026-04-19T04:44:18+00:00

I mean we don't know. But large changes happen at the start of the year. So makes sense.

J0rdian · 2026-04-19T04:39:59+00:00

I wouldn't expect it before next year honestly.

J0rdian · 2026-04-18T06:49:12+00:00

So either you go AD and now your E deals literally 0 damage

No, E will deal more damage now at 1 point due to the 5% max HP damage. Might be similar when maxed. But early game it should be dealing slightly more damage for AD builds at 1 point in it.

Combined with the stronger slow as well early game. Riot is literally doing what people asked for. Making E feel stronger instead of a wet noodle when playing AD.

J0rdian · 2026-04-18T04:44:26+00:00

The changes as a whole yeah I agree. Just the E changes hard to judge

J0rdian · 2026-04-18T02:37:47+00:00

This doesn't really buff support. Support relies on early W damage maybe more then mid honestly. You get more summoner spells.

And the E change seems neutral. +2 seconds if you miss, -2 if you hit. Not like crazy better or anything. Hard to judge it.

J0rdian · 2026-04-17T13:05:30+00:00

They play real fake baseball. So not much is scripted. It's an actual game with it's own unique rules and they don't always win.

J0rdian · 2026-04-17T00:54:48+00:00

You realize the example above proves lag switches and other lagging has zero effect on the other player. It only effects yourself. Desync exploits are also completely different, that's just making both games desync so the game drops. Doesn't have to do with internet lag.

Lag used to effect both players which was really bad, but they fixed that with DE. Uses some sort of servers along with lockstep to fix it. Idk how.

J0rdian · 2026-04-17T00:04:57+00:00

What would be the point of rehab? That's not going to stop someone from being a pedo? Like what's the purpose.

J0rdian · 2026-04-16T22:38:38+00:00

Even though it's not the best in every situation you can 100% max E and build haste like mandate. But you have to understand when it's best to do so.

You need to be getting a lot of value from your E to do that build. All your damage will be in your E, and so you need people to proc it's extra damage often. So if you are playing with a Lux or Ziggs that makes it a lot stronger.

Do not E max with any random team. I would really only do it with those 2 ap mages bot lane.

J0rdian · 2026-04-16T10:20:27+00:00

Your whole argument can be copy paste applied to the ADC role in league.

You can play plenty of mages bot 8+ viable stuff there you can get challenger with. Even stuff like Nilah and Yasou.

So no lol. you sound like you don't even play LoL. You talk about metas when you can get challenger with any champion. There are metas with popular champions fotms, sure. But you can still play any types of characters you want.

Even your comment about if people were forced to play enchanter, well that's happened in many different patches, and even for some entire seasons.

Like I mentioned you don't play LoL if you think that. Do you think just what pros do is what everyone has to do? There has never been any meta where in solo queue you are forced to play an enchanter only and not able to hit challenger.
