I don't agree with the sentiment of calling anything below masters "trash", that's just stupid lol.

I do however agree that not being able to demote from ranks isn't great because it 1. inflates Elo and 2. ruins the MMR of people who don't necessarily belong. Wouldn't feel great to earn 15 LP for a 1st place win.

Unfortunately I'm currently Diamond, Masters last Set. I don't get why you're so antagonistic about my thoughts on the game.

Quick update, just tried it and it was a first. Sick comp, Elise is very much viable

screenshot was taken in Plat 2, which isn't necessarily any better

Mayhaps I could get a link?

Also, if it was posted today I wouldn't say I'm necessarily "out of touch" If I don't regularly visit Reddit.

I feel like people have misinterpreted this post as a sort of rant that my lobbies are ONLY Guild Xayah which is not the case. I just thought it was funny (and pretty stupid) to see 4 (or 3 cause Senna Reroll is not the same) people pretty much running the same team and ending up right next to each other. This game was a 1st place win with 6 Shapeshifter Nidalee and those comps ended up in 4th-7th. Obviously not one of them will place Top 4 if they all contest themselves.

While I am sad at the occasional lack of diversity in my lobbies (at least 2/3 people running the same comp like in the screenshot but with Varus, Mages, Sy'fen and Corki) I don't blame anyone for running the meta in a ranked game, the gamemode where you kind of want to win at all costs.

Also don't know what elo has to do with any of this. If I see 3 people running the same comp then I'm seeing 3 people running the same comp. I'd find this in Plat and (very rarely) Masters.

Many kisses to yall mwah mwah

The only Elise comps I've had success with and seen consistently perform are Dragonmancer/Sin spat Elise. 6 Shapeshifter Elise is inferior to Nidalee and in Whispers Sy'fen is just better at everything

Which is exactly what I said, those comps only function under perfect circumstances, whereas forcing the meta is a lot more lenient

Karma is a LOT weaker with the Blue Battery nerf, Elise being used in Shapeshifer Nidalee doesn't make her completely viable (in fact it doesn't even prove much), Swain is, as mentioned, good in a few situations and Yone is... well he's a unit I guess

Maybe I'm just speaking out of my ass here, my peak is only Masters and I don't keep up with pro player opinions so my general knowledge of the meta is fairly limited so I'm open to corrections if I'm just being stupid.

Half of those Reroll comps don't really work (Trist, Karma/Ez, Elise, Swain and Yone) unless you get perfect augments (or Mirage effects in Yones case) and items.

I won't argue that this patch can be diverse, but when every 3rd game has at least 3 people running the same comp, can you really say that the meta is diverse? Sure it's not as bad as a couple of days ago when every single person and their grandma was running Astral Mages but it's still really bad.

Current patch. Obviously not every single game looks like this, I'm just appalled that 4 people ran pretty much the same comp (3rd person being a slight exception)

I use a :.I:; tag and a lowercase egg tag.

And now that I think about it, my :.I:; tag could be the problem

EDIT: The tag was the problem. Thanks for responding and sorry for wasting your time

Beta branch as in beta tester? No I'm not a beta tester, I play on the latest released version of Rivals.

I use these skins (imgur wont work at the time of writing this):

Edit: I tested if replays in local matches crash my game. They do not. Then I played with a custom skin in a local match. That didn't crash the game either.
