not at all, if two teams are evenly matched and one decides to focus rift herald or taking top lane turrets or something instead of drag, you lose. it is disproportionately powerful compared to every other objective in the game. baron and elder are strong but last for 3 minutes. souls are very strong and last forever...
And those are the 10% of games the Dragon Soul team loses.
You can't insert new players into the ranked system at an MMR different from the average without inflating or deflating the overall MMR of the system, because MMR gains and losses across teams are 0-sum. The only way to insert new players into ranked with a lower MMR would be to artificially add inflationary elements elsewhere in the ranked system, which is significantly more complex than just letting players enter in with the average MMR and a high K-value so they quickly correct to where they should be.
Hey there, I'm the game designer working on this space right now, and this explanation is pretty accurate! There's a couple other issues with entering people in away from the middle:
- If your median starts at value A, and you start to add new players in at value B, where B
- Not every new player is below average. Some are well above average, some are well below, but we're still operating with limited information in all those cases. Starting people too low means that above average new players create disruptions in the system for a longer period of time (because we're matching them and updating MMRs based on their current position, which is very different from the "true" position where they will settle).
This isn't to say we're happy with the new player experience to ranked right now - the way we do things now works out over time, but doesn't feel good for everyone. Our goal is to hopefully keep the individual matches feeling fair for both the new player ...

You're operating off very dated information. Gold has become the top of the bell curve.
What's your source on this?
Gold is average? I’m in my gold promos currently, waiting to get home to finish them, and I feel kinda bad now. I have over 700 games in Silver and I feel like shit now :/
Edit : I came home, lost my final promo game, then won 4 GAMES IN A ROW AND FINALLY AFTER OVER 700 GAMES, 4 LOST PROMOTIONAL SERIES, I AM FINALLY IN GOLD. It’s been a long 5 months... but I finally made it

I'm not sure they're right and I'm also not sure they're wrong. I'd be wary of where Reddit collects their data.
Despite there being a ton of negativity to LCS this off season.. I actually think these teams are better overall then last year
100t couldn't be worse
C9 upgraded in bot IMO
CLG upgraded mid
EG and IMT better then the teams they replaced
TL slight upgrade
TSM better for sure
FQ upgraded
Only Dig looks worse but i am still interested in how Huni + froggen plays out
How is DIG worse? Jungle mid upgraded, adc is soloq smurf with lots of potentional, support had a rough split but still was prior mvp and has actual good international experience...
And Froggen is literally so much better than Damonte its ridicilous, Literally #1 in all stats compared to #9
These are a bit on the basic side but I bet everyone finds 1 or 2 things in this list they didn't know:
Towers deal physical damage so only armour offers increased protection from their shots.
Minions push slightly harder and take less damage when their enemy towers are destroyed in that Lane. The more towers are down, the harder they push.
Killing only the caster (ranged) minions in a wave, leaving the melee ones alive, sets that wave up for a big counter push in a few minutes' time, without anyone even being there.
Junglers can smite while stunned/rooted etc but NOT when suppressed. Suppression cannot be removed by summoner spell Cleanse, but it can by using a Quicksilver Sash.
Lethality is essentially flat armour penetration per champion level. As the lethality owner levels up, they negate more armour from their target.
Everyone benefits from the armour shred on Black Cleaver. Use it to enhance your AD allies' damage on an ene...

Where are you getting your data?

This is late but seriously, Riot Noir? Why would you name it Riot Noir?
The people in that group liked that name. It's not for you, that's fine. It's not even for me or anyone outside of that group. It's something positive for that Rioter group, why does it matter so much to you?
Do you think Conqueror in general may be too strong or is it just on ranged users
its a bit strong for mages/ranged users, but basically the same for melees (rose like, .3% winrate for them or something insignificant)
But isn't Conqueror getting nerfed for ranged users, which will affect them both?
yep. suspect it will still be their best keystone. if we need to follow up on them, we'll do that next patch
This would tilt me off the face of the earth. I don't think my mental could recover if I was the Vi or the Aatrox.

Yes, you'll still be eligible for rewards.
I suffer
Corki and Azir getting buffs, say sike right now
Actually probably pulling back on that. we dug into their winrates a bit more in depth after and turns out you should probably be taking conqueror on them
This is epic! Wp!

In Sjokz case it was also because she was feeling like she was losing her social life iirc

Yep, just a bug.
Do you need to be honor level 2?
For this Global Beta launch we will not be requiring a certain honor level to participate.
