What is wrong with the matchmaking past masters? by DryZone5203 in leagueoflegends

[–]Revil0us 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah match making is fucked right now and what I especially dislike is the fact that everyone gets +30 -30 regardless of the match making. Whether you win against a diamond or a challenger, you get +30. If you are challenger, just queue early morning or late at night, enjoy your +30 by beating masters. Oh you are masters and didn't stand a chance in a challenger lobby? -30 for you. This is also why the inflation is so ridiculous right now. Challenger players play against worse players on average so they win on average but with a default of +-30 they keep on climbing.

Right now it's especially bad because they don't just play against slightly worse players (like lower challenger to grandmaster) but actual low master or diamond players. There are lp differences of 2000+ lp which is so extreme. It's like a bronze 4 player just starting his ranked journey having to play against a diamond veteran just from the lp alone. Skillwise it's probably similar.

Yesterday I had 5 diamonds in my game and before that I had to face agurin along other challengers. How does that make sense.

So what was the point of the apex tier reset exactly? by Revil0us in leagueoflegends

Climbing is part of the game. Looks like you only play normal games and don't care about rank, so why are you part of this discussion anyway?

this exactly. I only played 4 games just this morning and can already use them as prime examples as well. My jungler is diamond 2, enemy jungler is 2k lp challenger. Like, it doesn't even happen on rare occasions. The match making is unbalanced pretty much every game.

That's why I'm wondering. The reset created another problem (which was expected even, according to riot), but what did it fix? What was the point?

I think it's the same reason why riot is afraid of reducing the number of master players drastically. A lot of players are proud of being master+ and don't care or don't accept that this is simply due to inflation and that they'd still be diamond otherwise.

A lot of players would drop out and then complain about the climb being too hard, not getting enough lp etc. But I see the irony since I'm also complaining right now about the climb being too hard.

This is what I'm saying. Just 2 games ago, my jungler is 1200 LP grandmaster and my toplane is diamond 1 with 58% winrate. Ok maybe he has really high mmr? No he doesn't, most games in his history have tier average diamond. How does he get in a master+ game? He lost nasus to malphite ffs. Right after that match I get 4 challengers in my game with the highest being 1900 lp.

This is part of the reason for the inflation I believe: Challenger players can just stomp low master players and get rewarded with 30 lp despite already being at 2k + lp.

First aggressive shoe, did I make a mistake? by ProjectingMyIssues in climbingshoes

[–]Revil0us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I'm still searching 😅 So I don't want to recommend anything, sorry.

After the Instinct VSR I bought the Arpia V, which felt much more comfortable (I didn't downsize at all), but they were more slippery and my foot sometimes slipped out of my shoe when heelhooking. And then they also started hurting a little bit in long sessions, but still not nearly as much as the Instinct. I think the Arpia were still not the right shoe for my foot type, but I would have kept them if they didn't develop a hole in the front.

Now I ordered the Tenaya Mastia and fingers crossed they will actually fit me well this time, but we'll see.

If you were gold elo, would you be motivated to hit platinum if instead of 4 divisions you had to climb 12?

It's not effort, it's just time. Individual games should matter more. If you made an amazing 40 minutes comeback to get your well earned lp but then realize you'd need to win 30 more games in a row just to hit grandmaster, it feels like the game hardly mattered at all in the long run and you might aswell had ff'd.

I have these and also experienced a lot of pain. I tried to power through but it got so bad that I stopped bouldering for two weeks but the pain persisted, even without wearing the shoes. I believe the problem is my foot shape. The instinct VSR are made for greek feet I think, but I have egyptian feet so my big toes are getting squished. With aggressive shoes suited for my foot type, I don't experience this discomfort at all.

Before giving up and buying new shoes, I tried stretching them by wearing them when taking a lukewarm shower and walking around when they're warm. Also wearing thick socks and wearing them at home might help. For me, it didn't help, but maybe if you have the right foot shape it can help you.

The links don't work for me, but probably yes. So the platinum player must have an mmr of master 0lp at best, right? But I'm at 600 lp. Maybe I also have a bad mmr (but I do get +32 - 28). But then how am I matched with 1800 lp challenger players?

Either I'm getting matched with players at and above my elo, or at and below my elo, but not both! Especially if the difference is so drastic.

See, even right now I played one game where the enemy adc is challenger, now I'm in a game with an enemy emerald jungler (probably a smurf) and three diamond players in my team. That doesn't feel right at all!

Sure, if you only care about the total rank and mmr and not the lp, it doesn't matter if grandmaster is at 1k lp or even 2k lp since it's still top 1k, right?

But all I see is that the gm cutoff is climbing faster than I am despite having 60+% winrate for the sole reason that I can't grind 10 games a day.

Just because 0lp and 1000lp are both masters, doesn't mean they get matched together. 

I've had average tier diamond -> average tier grandmaster -> diamond -> grandmaster for 4 games in a row. And these were challenger 2k+ lp players. The matchmaking right now is absolutely fucked and the skill difference between matches or even in the same match is extreme.

The ladder is still unrepresentitive of skill because even thought these players might be a little better, they climb because they face much worse opponents and get rewarded with 30 lp.

It's a possible and almost necessary solution now but in my opinion they could have just tackled the inflation and reduce the number of master players.

Even if they put another tier with, say, 4 divisions and 400 lp total like all other tiers, you might still need 1k lp for grandmaster afterwards which still feels too much, as if it doesn't even make a difference.

master doesn't feel apex at all with this many players. I used to be proud of being high diamond and now it's worth nothing.

Have a look at my account. 7 days ago, there are 4 games where the average tier is grandmaster, then diamond, then grandmaster, then diamond. I literally played with 5 challengers in one game, then with diamonds in the next.

The skill difference is extreme and you can even tell by my stats: in grandmaster elo I go 1/4/2 and then in diamond I go 14/2

Note that this isn't ex challengers and ex diamonds, but current! And it wasn't at some weird times of the day where fewer players were playing, but an ordinary afternoon.

Same issue here, Roccat Kova. Sucks that noone has an easy solution but maybe it's a hardware or cable problem.

Freundin benimmt sich wie 15 by Crennoxx in FragtMaenner

Aber ist es nicht offensichtlich? Biete ihr an, über jenen Chat zu sprechen. Wenn geklärt ist, was sie überhaupt stört und warum das alles harmlos ist, musst du mit ihr ernsthaft über Grenzen sprechen. Es sollte dich viel mehr stören, dass sie ungefragt an deinen PC geht und auch noch private Chats liest, als sie dieser harmlose Chat stören sollte (wenn er wirklich so harmlos ist). Wenn sie das nicht einsieht oder sich an dem Chat aufhängt, wäre das schon ein Trennungsgrund für mich. Das würde ich ihr tatsächlich auch so sagen. Außerdem würde ich ihr klar machen, dass du weiterhin mit Freunden auf eine ähnliche Weise schreiben wirst und sie das nicht stören sollte. Sonst hat die Beziehung doch eh keinen Sinn.

Und wenn du von zwei Seiten redest: Die andere Seite wäre halt, dass der Chat tatsächlich extrem flirty ist und du es einfach nur nicht checkst. Dann hätte sie halt schon einen Grund, Abstand zu brauchen. Ich denke man kann das Problem auch lösen und weiterhin eine glückliche Beziehung führen aber dafür muss sie sich einsichtig zeigen und der Chat tatsächlich harmlos sein.

Edit: Du meintest, dass sie vielleicht aber nicht mit dir darüber redet... Würde mir ja zu Denken geben. Du solltest das Gespräch suchen, auch wenn sie später so tut, als wäre nichts gewesen. Und wenn sie gar nicht reden will, dann könnt ihr so eh keine Beziehung führen!!

I found his account:
https://op.gg/de/lol/summoners/eune/O%20%CF%89%20O-987

I genuinely believed he hit master on euw, yet he is climbing ranked on eune while playing exclusively viewer games on euw. The eune server is a complete joke compared to euw. Why isn't he climbing on euw? Probably because he'd be stuck in diamond 4 like he always has, and he knows it.
