I started with 0 fps experience on the 20/4/2020.
681 days, 483 competitive games and more than 1000 hours playtime later and I have finally reached Immortal ๐โบ๏ธ
Anyone who says this change "removes skill expression" fails to realize two things:
1. It simply levels the playing field between overlay users and League "purists" (no overlays, e.g. me).
2. League has a practically infinite skill ceiling; removing tedious but necessary levels from the mental stack just raises the average quality of play.
Why r people acting like memorizing random stuff that should be presented to you is โskillโ? Itโs only rly โskillโ cus it takes away from ur mental stack which would otherwise be used for actual skill like micro spacing warding tracking leaning minmaxing farm macro rotations etc
I see people disagreeing under this tweet.
You queue to win? Shame on you.
If you queue to improve and never ff, you will never lose, you either win or improve.
IF RIOT GIVE YOU THEIR WEAKEST SOLDIERS CARRY THEM PROUD TO VICTORY.
FF IS BEING WEAK. GIVE ME HARDER BATTLES.
The only games we weren't both in was 3 of her placements but I'm guessing any effect that would have had on her hidden MMR would be present the whole time
@RiotPhroxzon its unlikely you see this, but was curious why me (cable#t1605) and my duo (delightify#t1605) gained such different LP in our last game. I guessed the ongoing LP difference was due to hidden MMRs but what would result in my hidden MMR going up while hers didn't?
using this as a reminder to say that if you haven't yet, go watch this video and share it around.
the more people who understand why this is bad, the better.
i left the link to it in the replies.
