The new updates season 18

I just want to let you know I read your posts about the new changes to come. I give you a headsup warning, if you don't make considerable changes where you have an entry cost for each division making it actually harder to climb in ranked all you are actually doing is reducing the amount of possible master player by a small amount. Depending on the actuall amount of bonus LP you will be giving out per kill you can still easily reach masters if the MMR matchmaking system is still not including any tangible measure of real skill as a masters player. You will just end up with the same result as season 17 but just post poned later into the season. You might shave of some players from using the ratting system but there is plenty of room to still easily reach masters by just scoring one or two kills and securing a rather easy placement if there is not entry cost added upon the loss of point given if not placing high enough.

You know, the old season system for ranked, you said it feels like hitting a hard wall getting stuck in the rank process. That hard wall you claim exists, do exists, and that is because you hit your skill limit, and it is also a natural occuring skill limit that the old system did have. The new one does not have any "natural skill limit" as far as I can tell from the limitied information you gave us. With a natural skill limit that was actually to me, obvious to see what I had to improve, helped me realize what to improve in order to climb! Now in the new system that is not even remotely possible to know what to improve since well as you already know skill was not a factor.

  • I would like to point out I stopped playing mid season 17 isch, I gave it a whole hearted try. I have given plenty of angry feedback because you never addressed any feedback from a single player for over 2 months. I really like your optimism to try to improve that and be more communicative, time will tell if you actually will live up to the promises made. I won't come back this season as you claim, "further improve and fine tune the system" and "we will not revert to prior system" that in my Software Developing ears mean one thing and that is TIME, that will take TIME and I will not suffer for at least a year. A whole year minimum I think you will need to at least somehow get anything if even possible, working in an acceptable manner. I will check in and try to estimate if any improvements are being made and how the community seem to enjoy current states of the game coming in the near future, untill then and if you manage to survive as a game I will come back and try it out again. Somehow I think the game I once loved died after season 16 but perhaps you can reignite some old memories once I come back and try it for some future games.
