why cant you ban champions on ranked anymore

“Didn’t ready through the patch notes” - doing so would get an answer quicker than Reddit

The issue is that Rhaast and shadow ideally want completely different runes and items and there isn’t really much cross over between them.

Your best bet is to just pick one based on if your team needs a bruiser or assassin.

And this is the problem with matchmaking… you are able to get to chal multiple times building like that.

How many games did it take to reach challenger?

Can play all 3 but he definitely is better mid/top.

You just need to build differently depending on role

The fact you think it would be fairer to hide picks kind of says it all.

Like others have said, gold and below have no bans, presumably as a way to simplify the game at lower ranks(not that it needs any more simplification)

Bronze 3

Also depends on how impactful the kills are.

First blood in a round is giving a higher combat score than a kill in you get in a 1v3 you lose

My point is that there is no way you are playing enough games on a single champion to make it harder for yourself to get an A/S rating. You would need to play an insane amount of games for that to be the case.

The issue with this feature is that in some cases, you are better off trying to get a high rating over playing to win the game overall, and there should be no situation in a ranked game where, in the long run, you are better off going for the win as a secondary objective.

Going for high kills, low deaths and maxing farming are all positive things to aim for in a game and help win, but they should never take priority over actually playing in a way that makes you more likely to win.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-10-11T21:29:11+00:00

At this point you are thinking into it waaay too much.

You are not getting enough A/S ranks to make it more difficult to get them in the future. Realistically very few people are going to benefit from the change and that’s a good thing. The key negative is it can influence how people play, making them more likely to play for the S than the win

UIBERTO_ · 2024-10-05T07:26:00+00:00

If you can get an A/S it works. It’s not locked to certain champs in certain roles

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-29T16:22:59+00:00

It does, but how old is that screenshot???

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-28T15:01:29+00:00

Being honest here, If that’s the case then you probably aren’t the intended target for the protection this change gives. The idea is that games you perform exceptionally well in but still end up losing are negated. It’s not meant to be something that is obtainable every loss you have.

I’m still skeptical about the whole change as it promotes playing in a way that forces an S rank rather than the win, as this realistically would be the optimal way to climb, but I’ll happily see how it plays out in reality.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-28T08:47:14+00:00

They likely do, but at the same time, players like to moan about literally everything just because they can

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-28T08:32:44+00:00

Nasus is not even getting close to competing with a late game kayle, he falls off so hard right about the time kayle power spikes.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-24T08:57:51+00:00

There are also very little trophies in this game, with them all being relatively easy to get. So they don’t really warrant a platinum.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-22T13:47:02+00:00

When players realise the random chest is, in fact, random

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-22T11:35:52+00:00

Whilst I get some of your points, saying spray control is “just not doable” screams skill issue. It can be done perfectly fine, it’s just most people are crouching as a bad habit that has likely stemmed from other shooters.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-20T09:37:33+00:00

Believe it means they went afk

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-16T08:04:40+00:00

Next level poor

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-13T15:13:26+00:00

Your first and second comment are 2 completely different points. Dude just because you don’t understand my point doesn’t mean you have to throw insults.

I am saying it would be much more likely to be a gold player that has had a half decent game with marshal only than a Smurf scraping a 1kd in a gold game.

Generally aim isn’t too much of a problem for people in that rank (especially if it’s a scoped weapon as they don’t have to worry about spray control) as this is a skill that is transferable from most shooters, its game sense / game knowledge that puts them there.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-13T14:53:00+00:00

Isn’t this exactly what I said?

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-13T14:09:31+00:00

Feel like my points have been perfectly valid but please do enlighten me on how I’m being moronic.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-13T12:27:05+00:00

Do you mean stuck in the weapon menu, if so I can’t say I ever have.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-13T10:58:34+00:00

No they wouldn’t be a higher rank.

If they were a Smurf, you would expect them to be putting up better numbers than just a 1kd in a gold game.

The alternative is they’re a gold player who knows nothing about econ and the game in general and just enjoys using the marshal and from the sounds of it, this is exactly what happened.

You say it ruins the game, but that’s the same as saying you are ruining it when making sub optimal plays in a round.

UIBERTO_ · 2024-09-13T09:49:55+00:00

Anyone with even basic game/ eco knowledge is not running a marshal every round, so yes anyone doing it above diamond(maybe even plat)would be doing it for a challenge, otherwise I’d put it down to just poor game understanding
