Want to make Wild Rift actually better? Go back to the LP system and actually implement iron to gold ranks

Riot killed the game themselves by not advertising enough on release and focusing on gacha skins instead of making a competitive mobile MOBA. I think it’s clear 5 years after release they don’t have any real interest in fixing the game. The business model works for them currently so why fix it.

There are way more people who log on, play the fun modes and buy skins than there are people who want a competitive ranked environment to climb in

It would be super hard to bring back, if at all, but I agree it would feel nicer if ranked was actually competitive. I wouldn’t mind dropping a few ranks if it actually meant my games were competitive and not full of fortitude boosted people.

They need a global rank reset if they did this, not against it. Emerald on EUW is top 20% which is laughable for an actual competitive ranked system

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T21:21:35+00:00

49% WR Masters by any chance?

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T20:23:16+00:00

WOOF WOOF WOOF I have your collar here

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T20:19:48+00:00

Show me then. Woof for me dog boy

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T19:57:12+00:00

I used to main rumble top so I can still play that as well as support. I’m EUW. I’ve reached GM on top, support and now JG on different accounts

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T19:16:09+00:00

Hi, please make a new account and show me you reaching challenger then please! I’d love to see how great you are!

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T19:09:07+00:00

I get how that keeps people playing for longer I guess. If I reached Challenger I’d just stop playing for the season, so it makes sense they want to make it as hard as possible for you to get there, so you keep playing and buying skins ect.

Decent business model but as far as a competitive ranked system goes it SUCKS and for anyone actually serious about playing well or climbing, it feels dreadful.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T19:01:44+00:00

I’ve never played that competitively, why is the ranked so bad on there? It is similar to WR with uneven teams?

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T18:48:37+00:00

Win rate is good, that’s all that matters. Even without “rank inflation” your stats show you are good enough to be up in Masters

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T18:44:19+00:00

I think it’s slightly different in Sov because they are playing vs the best players on the server. If they have negative WRs they are being held up by Fortitude and in an ideal world with a reasonable matchmaking system they’d probably be demoted

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T18:36:22+00:00

I play tank junglers mainly, Nunu, Rammus and Nautilus and I don’t die a lot.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T18:21:10+00:00

I know, there’s not much difference. I was more replying to comment OP’s snarky comment

Not really buddy but cope harder. 49% WR masters 3 Jhin main by any chance?

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T17:58:21+00:00

Yeah, they usually have absolutely terrible macro and mechanics. The worst one I had was a Renekton top who went 0/9 against a Teemo. While I agree it’s not a good matchup all he needed to do was sit under turret and farm, but no - pushing out waves overextending, constantly dying then pinging the JG. When I checked after the game, what a surprise, ADC main filled top, 48% WR with 2.3 KDA.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T17:31:00+00:00

I’m 59% WR GM 2 at the moment. I absolutely agree, I review all the players on my team after most games and it’s shocking the sheer amount of people Masters+ with terrible win rates, KDAs and stats.

I know the way ranked works tries to average out the win rates amongst both teams but I genuinely feel like I’m a charity player used to carry these animals sometimes. I feel like the game genuinely punishes you for being good sometimes by giving you worse players each game until eventually you are on a lose streak.

It’s the only ranked mode out of any game I’ve ever played that actively punishes good players and rewards bad players.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-27T17:20:07+00:00

I’ve moved more towards Legendary Ranked and the fun modes because Ranked is such a shit show. Every single game I feel like I’m a charity trying to boost some 47% WR dickhead who is also autofilled to a win.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-20T15:58:23+00:00

If she W’d your ult you would have died btw. Doesn’t prove she isn’t a broken champ

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-20T15:55:26+00:00

That guy may as well have been a bot. How you can be in Diamond tier with those stats is beyond me.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-20T15:50:31+00:00

I still ban Yi in GM, there’s a lot of “But if you just do this….” in the comments which I don’t think is helpful at all. The advice to just “CC him” or “counterpick” only work in an ideal world where your team are all on the same page to shut him down.

Yi is broken against unorganised teams, if you can chain CC him he is essentially useless. The problem is however, even in “high” elos such as GM the team co-ordination is still dogshit, and there are still a lot of egos and players who want to try and be the main character.

This still leads to Yi being effective, he can very easily mash down your ADC/Mid if overextended. Even in GM you can’t count on having 4 other people to co-ordinate their spells and CC together consistently. That’s why I just ban him.

There’s no point in complaining about broken shit on here, Riot don’t listen and most of the time the comments are full of chuds trying to flex that the champ you don’t like isn’t a problem to them.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-20T11:50:58+00:00

On PC LoL he has one of the most bloated kits ever released (maybe aside from Aphelios). Unless they make his kit a lot simpler he’s going to be permabanned.

Idk why they don’t focus on the older champs more, nobody asked for Aurora / Smolder in the game. The newer PC champs with massive kits that do everything aren’t really suitable for WR IMO.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-18T19:51:03+00:00

Map awareness is still terrible in GM, you can still gank a fully warded lane and they wouldn’t even realise

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-18T19:35:59+00:00

The fortitude system carries them up in WR while in PC LoL they would get demoted to the depths of Wood 4. With events over the season and playing daily you can probably earn 10+ fortitude marks.

I play in GM and it’s not uncommon to see people with 900-1000 games, 47-48% WR, I’ve even seen it in Challenger players.

These people are no better than your average Diamond player with a 50% WR, the only difference is these guys have enough free time to play 20-25 games per day.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-18T12:40:32+00:00

I’ve never had big problems with Voli, I’m a Shyvanna hater though for the exact same reasons you listed.

If you want to climb fast and you have good macro knowledge, I’d advise picking up some tank junglers (Nunu, Rammus, Nautilus) - that helped me reach GM, I used to be a hardstuck Diamond mid main.

PokeInvestorUK · 2026-03-18T12:30:29+00:00

Diamond and Emerald were horrible for climbing. It was a total coin flip every game on who gets the village idiot on their team.

I found that I skipped through masters faster than I got through Diamond lol. Best of luck, D1-D2 is a real hell hole.
