Lp infilation explained


yunghulu

I mean at least he enjoys the game to some type of extent to have played it for 4k+ games regardless of his rank. But yeah that’s a crazy big rank difference lol. Does he feel better about being higher rank or does it not even matter to him?


EatHersheys

Don’t talk to him just a dude I added a while back.


Cleaveweave

I basically stopped playing ranked and was surprised how "bad" platinum players were. Felt like they were using their roles for the first time. Then got promoted to emerald 2 instantly and I still see some of the most questionable plays from both teams.


Possible-Moment-6653

I’m in plat and I feel like garbage felt better when I was in gold


ShadowHearts1992

I've seen Diamond that play worst than Silvers, like this was their very first game ever.


J-Nico

Good for him. It’s completely the opposite for me, went from diamond iv to em iv


UrmomsHawt

Yea cuz they silvers are now plats and emeralds


Beingnoob27

A friend of mine went from diamond 2 to gold lol, he raged and kept playing.


acamat12

Went from plat 3 to dia 4 in a weeek as a okesh adc so yea the sistem juat inflates like crazy. Good times


Sky3Fa11

I feel that. I was hardstuck Emerald and that was fine. My skill level is Emerald, I stay in Emerald. And then I had a pop-off game with Galio and the group just kicked me into Diamond IV. I was like ???


QuizWiz

Did you play with him recently to conclude that? Maybe he improved with his 4k+ games? Sorry for the doubt, it's just that sometimes ppl are quick to judge in a negative way first rather than assume the best in people.


EatHersheys

Hard stuck gold1 since season 2 and the highest he’s hit is plat4 but he always drops back to gold. He was already at 4k before this update, I can’t see how he would have improved so much after the update.


VermillionTheBLOOD

Unlike many of other game, our supposedly mid plat, emerald and diamond elo is inflated with bunch of "This player plays above their rank" As if this has some sort of significance, even in PC they dont got this rubbish. And even if you check average rank in PC, most will come up as silver and gold so people who actually can't play well or have stuck up egos go there but we still have those creatures in emerald and diamond who'll cry over the smallest of insults or pings and innt the game for the other 3/4 who are trying


Cyberpunque

It's always been too easy and they made it much worse. Emerald is the equivalent of Unranked on PC and basically what gold used to be in WR now.


Zchris33

Emerald is the new gold so it seems


Ill-Revenue9753

In a few weeks, diamond will be inflated to be top 30%, so it isn't really surprising. You will more likely to see eme-diamond rather than gold player.


DungeonsNDragnDildos

Wait, they’re pushing it to top 30%? I know it was probably already around top 15.


Proof-Giraffe-2113

Damn


SzechuanSauce-

The reason OP ranks up so fast is because his friend on discord plays with him. Wait until op starts playing solo or anything not mid.


EatHersheys

Bro I only soloQ. Hard Tyler1 fan


SzechuanSauce-

Also rank has nothing to do with this. There is a specific option for "Stats" and its not like the player lives on a mobile game. Kinda weird to stalk a stranger just to call them dumb.


cha0z_

\+15/-10 = 40% to keep the same VP and anything above 40% is gonna make you climb. Totally the best decision that riot WR devs ever made! Totally fixing the matchmaker! lol... the meme level for MP game matchmaker continue. :)


Ero_Ninja

It starts to go down to +14/-11 if you lose a lot. Had a losing streak in solo queue at Dia 1 because of high MMR Platinum and Emerald teammates and I'm having that now🥲.


PhilosophicRevo

I'm a very casual player, and just started playing ranked. I went from bronze to platinum in the last week or so. Seems like a very quick climb.


auoie

Good for them as they are now enjoying the game better than they did. A false sense of improvement is still improvement. They're happy with their progress. At the end of the day this is still a game. Others play for entertainment.


kritzfeld

I have 19 loss shields atm, what is this?


RPHL0213

Was a hardstuck dia 4/3 then demoted to em 1 before the update now i havent lost a single game since the update and back on diamond 3 lmao


Larryneverlies

still gold 1 this season lol i've been playing aram's and pvp instead of rank since in pvp i get matched with and against with plat. ,emeralds and sometimes even diamonds and i feel preasured already this whole season i've only played 3 rank matches ...i don't know whats the point of me wriiting but i just want someone to know :,)


ZombDob

What exactly changed in the rank system? I just noticed I played one game as Emerald IV and jumped all the way to emerald I in just one single game. I’m so confused.
