@hayhor not really, I didn't misread this article. Once word got round he was helped, so it was much more than the last game, essentially premades and carried...

my take on the whole subject is, as long they didn't find a solution for predators and masters stacks playing against plats and diamonds ( and this seasons i encountered them in silver) then I'm happy about the new system.
at least people like me don't have to lose 50 RP every match because of obvious disadvantage.
i know that patch notes said that premade will not play against solos at least ,but until now i don't see that happening and it's worse than ever .
but since the lose in not significant and the chance to be positive is big then I'm ok with it.
i personally don't care what kind of system they implement , the only concern is that i don't want to play against the top 50 predators while having golds and plats in my team.
we either all play with and against similar ranks or give me current preds and masters in my team to carry me.
i think that is the only fair way to do it.
back then when these guys complained that they have to wait don't know how long for one match that wasn't our problem.
if they want predator rank then it should not be something easy and have their way only
now they say that this system is benefiting the noobs (like me) who are usually hard stuck gold-plat but they are forgetting that these hard stuck players are the reason they got to predator rank.
the broken system got them to predator not their skill (most of the time), when MM put one full stack in gold-plat lobby with no other stack on the same level to counter them then the result is clear.
because some people have life, don't cheat, don't stack and hold hands like a bunch of school kids afraid to get separated and melted with no one there to help them and play every match like it's an ALGS.
the funny thing is they still get melted by golds some times ,same what I witnessed yesterday lol
@hayhor I think you will find that the sweet army was mobilised by the professional back support team. How many followers would want to play in his lobbies or even get to play with him. Imo It was an interesting and very successful advertising exercise.
The fact that everyone was reset and there was a new points system put in place, was fully exploited for that advertising purpose, proves nothing about the new system imo.
