League of Legends players have expressed their frustration at the current state of ranked due to strange matchmaking and placement matches.
One of the most important parts about ranked however is your placement games. These games determine where you start the season at, and their results are far more impactful than your average ranked fiesta.
LoL players frustrated at bizarre matchmaking and purchased accounts in Season 14
These accounts can be purchased online for cheap, and then used by players who aren’t particularly invested, who will just abandon their teammates if the match isn’t going their way.
“The game before this one was decided by someone on their 2nd ranked game, also a level 30, because he didn’t like how the lane was going after 6 minutes,” theplayer explained.
Other players chimed in, also sharing that they were getting level 30 accounts in their ranked games as well. Many of them blamed the matchmaking for putting players in a game with ranks far higher than their skill.
“Yeaj it’s disgusting. I had a genuine level 30 new player doing their first ranked game in a recent match of mine,” oneplayer ranted.
“I played ranked flex with a genuine new player who started dagger on Jinx and dies 10x every game. She was placed plat 3 like wtf??”another agreed.
