So this game mode is gonna die…

So this game mode is gonna die…

So Phreak outright comes out and says “sorry high elo, premade 5 are going to statistically have a massive advantage and because I don’t have an answer I’m going to give up for now.”

7:00 time stamp

Here’s how it’s going to go because the higher elo community mostly shares the same sentiment.

Top premade gonna destroy higher mmr solo/duo players.

Solo duo/players will quit due to unfair matchmaking.

Top premades quit because they are bored of sitting in que for 45 minutes.

Now repeat this as people replace them as the new high elo players.

I love this gamemode and want to see it thrive.

For the love of god, make it solo/duo que ranked for the whole mode. It’s the only way man, if someone has a better option please let me know.

This is exactly why I quit in season 6. Dynamic que ruined the experience not just for us in high mmr but make an experience that feels unrewarding.

This thing feels like it’s on a clock that’s ticking fast on the shelf life. Can we not avoid this?

Summoner Spotlight: The Ghost Smite Support

This late night menace (plays between midnight and 4am Central time) runs ghost smite as support/bot player.

In his words -

Flash is overpowered so he chooses not to use it.

Smite is because he doesn’t trust his jungler on objectives.

Doesn’t 5 man and has a 76% win rate lol.

High MMR & stack abuse can be fixed using player psychology

Right now Phreak said there is little resources to go toward this problem, however it can actually be fixed with minor tweaks and players will solve it themselves.

Firstly we need a separate player mmr for solo play and group play but keep the queues together so groups still play against solos and queue times are not affected.

This includes a separate displayed rank for both solo and group play.

This is where players realize group mmr is kind of meaningless, just like flex queue in retail. After this change players queue solo and ranked integrity fixes itself.

As an added bonus you can queue with friends without affecting your solo classic mmr!

Thoughts?

How to make classic even better

Fix sp gains (high diamond they drop really hard for no reason even with near 60%wr) (several accounts loosing double lp compared to when they win)
Add ranked mode exclusively (to separate casual players to competitive ones)
5stack premade problem make above legend players can only duo
Add classic pratice tool would be nice and doesnt take too much effort
Add ladderboard so players will have more motivation to keep playing in high mmr
Add more runes variety like the old days
