This. Riot doesn’t care because it makes them look good. They don’t give a shit about the rest of us.
If I could flip a switch and remove all bots right now forever I'd flip it without a second thought, anything like player count (which also isn't that useful in this context without also looking at game hours, we don't get extra cookies for counting 2 accounts playing 30 minutes as 2x 1 account playing 1 hour) and skin sales aren't factors to be clear.
yeah its weird. i think their intention was to let us know diamond wont suddenly be filled with plat players or something like that
Yeah sorry for any confusion, we're basically aiming for something closer to end of 2022's size for Diamond+ which is a little smaller than this Split's, but did want to be clear that that skill range isn't getting any new folks pushed into it from below because of the redistribution.
What about decay? Will it only be diamond+ or will it extend to emerald? I kinda found it dumb that plat got decay removed, I think it should be back for emerald at the least.
It'll stay the same as it is today, Diamond+ only.
i think they should
Adding another GREEN tier is so funny. Visual clarity when.
Plat is getting a visual update too!
Just need to be gold by the end of the split/season I believe
Yup! Gold will stay the low-points-requirement for Split 2 too.
Are honor requirement still needed for victorious skin? Got bit too silly one game and got from honor 5 to 0
Yes the honor requirement is still in place. We're trying to get an update into the client tooltip to make this clear before the end of the split.
I really want master tier to be more prestigious again.
I basically gave up try harding ranked because it was not much of a challenge to stay in it as an old master tier player but impossible to get into grandmaster
It's not explicitly stated in the article but you can see it in the graph bars, the intention is for Master tier to be smaller than it is today in the next split, closer to last year's size at least. Diamond should be slightly smaller too but not by as much.
So what happens are 0 lp between divisions? Is it just instant demotion?
Demotion shields are still in place. Getting promoted into immediately demoted is a pretty bad experience we can avoid while maintaining integrity, if you really aren't cut out for a rank you achieved you won't hold it long term.
/u/auberaun thank you for removing promotions.
Did you also remove or nerf demotion shields as well? This would, in my opinion, force players to take ranking down more seriously and improve the game quality of games close to ranking up / down.
Hiya, demotion shields are still in place. Getting promoted into immediately demoted is a pretty bad experience we can avoid while maintaining integrity, if you really aren't cut out for a rank you achieved you won't hold it long term.
Ty fren
Congrats!
no this is not true, everyone is in the same matchmaking pool, matchmaking uses MMR exclusively in all queues except for pre-level 30 where it will also try to group players based on account level
There's definitely some bug happening to you - try logging out and logging back in, or at worst reinstalling.
Fixes are now live in EUN and deploying to OC and RU - there were three pretty impactful issues that would affect queue times as well as causing people to get stuck in infinite queues. Will see how it's going after a few hours of the fixes being out.
From my experience on OCE, it looked like the queue wasn't even working. It would never go into champ select and if you tried to remove yourself from the queue, the "x" button wouldn't work, and I had to restart the client.
Yep, this is part of what we're fixing.
Do you have any steps to reproduce this? We've seen a handful of reports and have looked into it but haven't had any luck repro'ing.
idk, it still shows 9
this person is level 101
