As for clash itself, I think it went really smooth this weekend. My team, and I would assume multiple other teams, never came across any bugs, game crashes, or anything that would make the Clash experience worse. But if there was one issue/peeve we had about clash, it was the tier balancing. I think that for the next Clash weekend that comes out should have more tiers. At the very least, I think there should be a tier 5 or something. My team consisted of two tier 2 players, 1 tier 1 player (who should really be tier 2 as well, but for some reason the clash system uses TFT rank to decide League of Legends tier) and 2 tier 3 players. Keep in mind tier 2 is the second highest tier you can be. Our ranks were mostly high gold (gold 1) to low plat (plat 3). I was Plat 1, but that's only in flex and Plat 3 in Solo/duo. In our games on day 2, we came across teams that had High plats and Diamonds. We were able to win the first game, but we lost the second game to a team of 2 P1s and 2 D4s with 1 P4. I think a team like that should be slotted into tier 2 and that a team like ours could have been slotted into tier 3, with teams currently in tier 3 and 4 being dropped down a tier, if there was to be an addition of tier 5. That's just my opinion on the tiers and could lead to some closer and more interesting games that would be more fair with closer rankings between the players.
