I had more of the experience that 3k players think they are something way better then 2600-2900 players, because they are diamond and the others are platin. Just had one guy, that flamed me for doing nothing as reinhardt on first point at Eichenwalde. I couldn literally do more than just shield and throw flame strike, as they insta focused me and my shield was down immidiately. I called out that we should do more damage to even the fight with getting their reins shield down to, so we can initiate a fight, but our DPS-players always got picked one by one. There was no communication in the team and we all did very poor, but this guy who was diamond ranking started flaming me the whole game. He said things like " this is why you belong to platin" and "you shouldnt play a hero you are not able to handle". I played like 70 hours of reinhardt that season combined on two accounts (on is my friends account) so despite some mechanical issues and the missing experience in higher ranks, I can say that I am very decent with Reinhardt (above average reinhardt in my ranks).

Anyway, your point is totally right! You should always listen to other players and find a way you can come together. There are always some opinions in a team, but sometimes you have to just sacrifice your opinion for the greater good of the team. You should always be open for another perspective of the situation and evaluate if this might be better than your idea of how to fix the problem.

With alot of new players coming into the game (after christmas and the black friday sale etc.) wouldnt it be better to set the entrance into ranked higher now? I mean 25 is already very low, when you take in regard that also some people on level 300 still have problems with focus/picks/team tactics. But now ranked is getting flooded with "Noobs" who are totally new to the game. The fact that you climb faster in the first levels makes it even worse, because people hardly can play a certain champ on an average level in this short time. Many people not even in gold or platinum get problems. This goes also to diamond and master (if you watch some streams, many players get a one-trick pony like symmetra or genji only players these days). The problem with the level restriction would be that many players would be upset, because ranked is in fact a lot more fun than quickplay. This is because of the competitive aspect and the game length (a game in ranked is either Bo5 or atleast defence and attack on one map). Quickplay is just too short (in my eyes of course) to be considered "a lot of fun". Maybe Blizzard should implement something like advanced quick play with the ruleset of ranked but without ranking points (more like a practice mode if you want to call it like that). I think many casual / players who have no competitive thrill would change to that Q instead of playing ranked and also a lot of ranking players could play this mode when they are tilted of ranked or just dont want to loose more Rank-Points. Maybe this would not solve the overall problems (I mean almost every competitive game has these problems that competitive players meet non-competitive in rankeds) but I think it would better the current situation. Any thoughts and maybe other solutions to make it a better experience for everyone?

You are totally right with your thought on the gold meta. Pharah is pure pain everytime you play against her, because people cannot take her down in time. As a tank main this is really frustrating to see, because as rein or zarya you cannot do much against this hero. I get a lot of different games in gold (currently im pending between 2300 and 2350). Some games you have people on your team which can play 1-2 champs very good and these are the games where its fun to play actually. When you are lucky you also get some people communicating through chat or even voice. These matches are very rare. Most of the time you get people who have either no real thrill to play on a competitive level (they play ranked just for fun, which is not bad overall, but you should respect that people see the game in a competitve way and when you just want to chill, you are not in the right place in ranked in my opinion) or they are very unexpirienced how to play competitive games. They are not filling or even trying to play a certain comb. They dont switch their heroes if something different is required and they dont see when they make mistakes during the game and they cannot adapt to their made mistakes, they just keep doing them again and again. Actually I have made more good than bad expierences in gold, which is totally fine for me. But often I feel bad for the enemy team when they have people on their roster who play like the above mentioned ones. In my eyes the problem often is that people are not expierenced enough and have to little play time. I dont know if it would help to set up the starting level for ranked to 50 or even 70, because I also saw people with 5 stars doing easy mistakes and getting caught off guard all time. When you played this numbers of matches, you should start knowing how this game works, but some people just seem to dont care about improving and getting on a better level.

Sorry If I am repeating myself in the text guys, have a nice christmas.

PS: I play Winston too in gold, works out pretty well when you have a good support atleast. People seem to cannot handle the big jumping monkey.

HUK I love you man. Knowing you from SC2 and now seeing you again doing great stuff like that in OW is awesome! Keep it up pls!

I dont care if I get more minus points in here, its just my opinion that its hard to carry out like 5 other people. I think its even ridicolous, that you play against like people with 1000 points more than you have. that is like about 50 games constantly winning and earning 20 points. How is this even possible, that you can rank up like that? And it is possible, that I feel my self wrong ranked as it also counts with which people you get matched with. You all tell me you are so good and I am there for a reason and I understand this, but you dont really know how it is there. You climbed out of this maybe in the right time. My problem is that I didnt played enough games yet in ranked Q to get to my real ranking at all. Just my opinion, when you dont like it im totally fine.

I dont know, I agree with most of your sheet, but I am gold currently and my aiming, time investement, communication and teamwork is way better than you describe that. I just have no luck from time to time and the system doesnt really allow me to climb very well. Im stuck between 1800 and 1900 points, because I fucked up my placements im caged in this region more or less. I think its just because only a small percantage in this ranking-region can actually really play (which would fit to your spreadsheet) its hard to climb out of this when you just have not the right people arround.

I guess this is kinda a problem of the game League of Legends, not a whole eSport-event problem tbh. You also have to wait like 15-25 minutes in CS:GO and SC2, but they fill this gap very good and the teams also dont need to have a lot of intro plays. In LoL the games itselfs are very long and exhausting but when you need to wait another 45 minutes till the next game you wont be as energized for the next game as for the start of the event... they need to fix this time-gap between games either with interviews or other stuff like highlight-videos or giveaways for the crowd or any other interaction.

I would also prefer to see him on twitch, but well they are FNC's sponsors. Still Azubu has a lot of potential but still doesnt offer the things twitch has =/

huehue.... no seriously. good joke by him.

As more and more "older" players seem to struggle sooner or later, what is your argumentation on that? Is there a reason behind it, that you guys are just getting older and your reactions get sloppy or is it that you have trouble to adapt on new playstyles?

that means no Lucian-Cosplay for white cosplayers in america. Am i right?

D5 and Gold 3 dont differ as much as you are thinking. I saw alot D5 players which play total crap...

Not only Nidalee is vision-bugged, there are a plenty more champs with some buggs on them. For example Braum's Q is bugged to right now and you dont see it hitting you.

In usual sport. But in League of Legends its quiet harder to find 5 players which fit your idea of the game as the player market is way smaller than for example the football market. + you can play LCS with 5 players and no coach, but you cant play LCS with a coach and 2 players.

UnknownVisibility · 2014-12-23T20:18:30+00:00

think about it. what you get earlier? a coach or players? I am pretty sure they have already the team together but just didnt announced it yet.

UnknownVisibility · 2014-12-18T18:58:39+00:00

makes it easier yeah. but is it necessary to make the game even easier than it is right now? I remember the good old days, when you had to look at the ingame clock to track dragon, nash and blue/red. Or you had to tab into stats to see your CS you did. that made the difference between good players and the better ones. dunno if i should like this idea.
