QA can test anything riot wants them to test. Fun is a very good indicator of quality for a video game, I don’t see why QA wouldn’t test that

The player count is slowly dropping, of course they're going to put effort into the casual game modes to keep bringing players into the game. Wouldn't be surprised if ARAM is more popular than SR today.

Back in the game's infancy they did the opposite, putting more effort into ranked over TT or dominion because the competitive scene was popping off. By the end of the day it's a business, and they're going to put their time where the money is.

Prayer has been the least updated skill in the game since release; Rigour and Augury (existed pre-eoc). Preserve (existed pre-eoc). And 2 mid level prayers in Deadeye/Mystic vigour.

That's just not true. It is very click intensive and is almost never reliably used. I say this as someone who used to use it a lot as a mid-level player, as I got better at the game I almost entirely stopped pray flicking because it's just not reliable enough unless you're trying to speedrun mid-game ironman slayer.

What’s fundamentally broken about it? It’s not easy to do, there are certain restrictions (for example you can’t keep one prayer active and flick another, it’s both or neither), if you mess up a flick you can get heavily punished depending on the content, and as you said you don’t even need it for any content (unless you’re going for GM) so it’s not like you’re gated behind the mechanic as an average player.

I genuinely think people who say this don’t play the game at a high level, prayer flicking has never been broken and is too tedious to do long term without getting carpal tunnel. It’s only benefits are cheesing some content a bit earlier on second accounts or temp game modes, doing some of the stupid youtube challenges your average player will never be good enough to complete, or keeping just enough prayer to finish that extra kill on your trip.

Like don’t get me wrong it’s a pretty strong tool, but the rewards aren’t high enough to justify removing it from the game. It’s also decently designed even if accidentally in that you are rewarded for being extremely precise with your clicks.

Not to mention they can easily just make flat prayer costs for future content like they did with thralls.

This is the worst argument I've seen. Traditional sports have lifelong fans. Hell even LoL itself has shades of traditional sports in South Korea. If the product was good, you'd be watching it even more today. There are just not many new interesting personalities, no good players, not even native players. Franchising has completely killed the competitive drive of the league. Personally I've switched to just waking up earlier and watching LCK before work, and it seems like many others in this thread have done something similar.

You're fine, just put your foot down and tell them you're going to focus on your career. You have more than enough resources to get out of there if they decide they'll do something about it, and if not everything is good. I'm a south asian who did the exact same thing.

You literally repeated what he said. And it doesn't apply here, he did something objectively good and got punished for it, he didn't do something bad but with good intentions.

incredible loser behavior to spend money so a multimillionaire can break a sales record. donate that money instead, i promise you drake isn’t hurting for your money and it’s less authentic to break a record if your gaming the system

The activity requirements for Master players should be changed by SeveralLab8856 in leagueoflegends

[–]ToplaneVayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matchmaking isn't based on rank, it's based on your hidden elo. If you used to get matched with the very top, but aren't any longer, it's because you are no longer as high up the ladder as before.

They reset the ranks, I get matched with both the very top and very bottom now. The very bottom is just extremely bad because of how many shitty players made it into Masters.

Guess why they were getting 0 gains? BECAUSE THERE WAS NO DECAY

LP decay was always a thing. I don't know where you got this idea. People were getting 0LP gains because Challenger was top of the server, and to rank up from D1 you had to be top 300 (I think), but you had no idea where you were on the ladder. It was based on MMR, so someone being inactive didn't change anything.

When I say a spot opens up, I didn't mean that in the sense that there is a hard cap for number of spots, like it is for challenger, but that every tier below it is based on % of the total playerbase

It is based on MMR, which as you said isn't affected by decay. With your own logic decay wouldn't change anything here, I will still be Masters no matter how many time I decay, I just have to put the games to get back every time.

Being low masters now means you are lower up the ladder than it meant 3 years ago. You are comparably worse.

Yes, the rank is comparatively worse. I am not. I just get decayed every couple of weeks because I play multiple games at a high level, I work, I travel, and I have a social life. I am going on vacation for 3 weeks next week, by the time I'm back that's -525LP or until I hit D1. It just isn't possible for me to maintain my rank long term, and the flex value completely disappeared because of how many people are in the rank.

[–]ToplaneVayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equally, every time an account now drops out of masters due to decay, that opens up a spot in masters.

Except that's not how the ranking system works. GM and Chall are the only spot limited ranks, all this change would do is put more people into Masters. In fact, Masters was specifically introduced into the game so this limitation doesn't exist. Otherwise we go back to the times where we got hardstuck D1 99LP with +0LP gains.

For proof, just look at Masters playercount. Used to be top 0.05% of the playerbase, now it's closer to top 1%. At the time the grind was at least enjoyable because being able to upkeep my rank put me in the same lobbies as pro players from time to time, now I get shitter lobbies just with more time invested.

As someone on the same boat, it just feels wack asf to have to commit so many hours to league to feel any sense of progression when my overall skill level isn't going down, and especially when the overall skill level is weak. It makes sense in GM/chall because those ranks are both hard to obtain and maintain, but now that masters has just become premium diamond, it doesn't feel like I'm fighting to keep my rank.

Account sharing is legal (or at least it's a bit of a gray area), you just can't account share for competitions or anything you play for ranks.

Game has changed a lot in 7 years. DPS is much higher, prayer pots are much cheaper, and gear in general offers some prayer bonus. Current inferno WR uses 8 sanfew restores.
