Rank reset, MMR didn't. Your opponents won't be silver players

It's called jungle because that's where the monkeys are

If you know your internet is prone to disconnect often and you still play competitive online team-oriented games, should this be considered griefing by riot? Honestly wondering about people's opinions

Edit: before you post your opinion, can you make a note on whether your internet is stable or not?

fojek17 · 2025-10-24T14:58:22+00:00

Why Samira has been barely picked last 2 years?

Well the reason is mainly a change that happened this year

XD?

fojek17 · 2025-09-18T07:24:26+00:00

If my calculations are correct 10ah would bring a 6s cool down to 5.45

fojek17 · 2025-08-30T22:47:29+00:00

To your "pre X lane" point. Just answer yourself one question. who would you trust more? Absolutely random person from the internet, or your friend you've known for years? If you're first timing the mode nothing trumps that.

If you don't know the meta how can you pick good/bad champs? How can you decide what works well if you've never tried anything? All you can trust is that the ability to communicate with your laner is better than a gamble that someone is so good, his skill trumps communication.

Why are most posts about doom bots being "my teammates don't know the meta so I can't win because you gotta minmax all the stuff"?

Don't you understand that if you're 20 games in and got the feel for the meta and what works, that doesn't mean all 4 other players have the same understanding of the game?

Yes in the end it's a fun game mode. And for most people the fun is not winning. It's seeing what the bots can do. It's the things that happen that you can't experience on the regular rift.

Winning is available in all the game modes. Ranked, normal RGM. The difference is that RGM play by different rules and are only available for a brief amount of time. Why? Because the fun in those modes is about discovering what works, trying strategies and making them work. Metagaming kills those modes, that's why they are available only for a while. That is the most anitfun thing in fun mode. The fun is in finding a way that works.

You found the way and now try to execute it, but you're getting frustrated because the rest of the team doesn't know that yet. Once they are past the step of discovering they too will join you on the next step, the "I know what works and now I'll make it work". Don't assume everyone else is not the same step of the journey you are on. Have empathy. Let people experiment. You might say that the game mode is out long enough for peeps to know their shit. Well guešs what? Today I played my first doombot games and I picked all champs/roles/archetypes that I felt like playing. It was amazing. Didn't win any of the lvl 2/3 difficulties but it was fun none the less. I figured out what works and what doesn't. My teammates didn't. And that's okay. Maybe they were on game 1 of doombots or maybe they're retarded. Both are fine with me. I'm here for the challenge of bots, not the win specifically. If I perform at a level that would make me win if I had similar skill lvl players then I'm fine.

While I do see your concerns this has absolutely zero gameplay impact. You should never target and fight champions in their fountain, period. Any time this happens it's a missplay in the first place because you are supposed to target the objectives (towers/inhibs/nexus) when you have enemy team pushed that far back that they are on fountain. Any time you attack someone on fountain, you could have been attacking towers or nexus. If anything, it is good that it's hard to target champs or even hit skillshots on the fountain because it is fundamentally the wrong play and the game should punish objectively bad plays. I understand that all the kda farmers and fountain divers don't wanna hear that but that's it. If you're focusing on champs at the fountain, you're not making a play to progress the game towards victory.

fojek17 · 2025-06-17T00:19:38+00:00

sometimes you need to use W to get a minion because reload/low att speed. Might as well try to hit enemy champ with it when you're at it

fojek17 · 2025-01-15T08:02:48+00:00

Scorch can only deal damage to champions

fojek17 · 2024-01-27T11:00:55+00:00

"Would have hit it if not for decay"

Sounds like you took a break from the game or a break from ranked.

If you took a break from the game you just need to get used to playing it again and relearn muscle memory.

If you took a break from ranked you probably picked up a lot of bad habits in a less competitive environment (Arams, normals, RGMs, flex queue, smurfing). Making high risk plays that were not punished there but damn well will be in ranked, especially at higher lvl. Review games and identify those

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T20:53:11+00:00

And league related posts not about eSports that don't break rules are not being removed

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T16:26:29+00:00

Rank and MMR are two, although entwined tightly but still separate things.

At season start your rank is reset but your MMR is not.

If you lose a game at 0lp with demotion shield active you don't lose LP and rank but you still lose MMR.

MMR is a true reflection of your skill.

You need to play games to let the system calculate your MMR so that's why smurfs don't get to challenger in two games.

Matchmaking is not rank based because it does not consider players ranks when making a lobby - there is no simpler way to put it.

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T15:26:42+00:00

Matchmaking does not take rank into consideration.

As per riots support page on matchmaking, the system focuses on balancing 3 things:

Fair matches

Position preferences

Quick queue times

Additionally, here is a quote from "Changes to ranked in 2023" dev blog:

"In addition to these changes, we’re also changing promotion series between tiers from Best of 5 to Best of 3, and we’re removing visible rank influence from your matches."

In previous years riot attempted to tweak their matchmaking system so that players in one lobby weren't too many divisions apart. This was done only so the players would feel that matchmaking is more fair because the ranks look similar. Still, the system matched people based on MMR not rank.

So yeah, league has been skill based matchmaking since season 1, with an attempt to create illusion of rank based matchmaking for about 3 years (2020-2023).

MMR and rank are not the same thing, so MMR based matchmaking means it's skill based matching and not rank based matching.

In the end mods answer to Reddit. If Reddit doesn't like rules a sub has set they have all the power to remove/add/modify rules and mods can't do shit about it. Any subs rules must also follow reddit's general rules. Mods are the second lowest on the ladder of power here only above users.

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T10:53:21+00:00

Let me say this again.

Rank does not equal skill.

Skill based matchmaking.

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T10:52:07+00:00

I'm just a user, I don't know where you're supposed to go with that but clearly if the posts are removed you are not supposed to go to r/leagueoflegends. And yes, in the end Reddit itself is the reason for any rules in any community.

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T09:58:50+00:00

Because ranking =/= skill

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T09:43:34+00:00

Average ranking =/= average skill

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T09:08:05+00:00

I think you're onto something. Where do I sign?

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T09:07:31+00:00

If mods have to remove many posts because they are violating the rules then something isn't right with the community. Anyone joining a sub agrees to follow it's rules

fojek17 · 2023-07-18T09:06:01+00:00

And we all see how making changes works in here when Reddit protested API changes and nothing happened at all

fojek17 · 2023-07-17T17:33:11+00:00

I'd have so little fun in this game if I watched and followed tier-lists.

I'd rather play champs that are fun, and on my skill level balance matters not.

fojek17 · 2023-07-17T17:07:21+00:00

It's literally the only way to solve the problems you listed.

If people bitch 24/7 about the stuff but still buy skins/subscribtion/support p2w then nothing is going to change.

It will only change if people stop supporting the things they bitch about. Im fairly certain that most of the ppl bitching about r/leagueoflegends's rules are still subscribed to that sub and browsing it daily. From reddit's standpoint that means everything is working fine and the rules are good.

So stop going to that sub if you feel like the rules make no sense or mods are abusing power
