Why do you get a top 1000 as soon as you win one single game, and top 30 if you win 4 consecutive games after one month of pause? (okay leaderboard is broken i know)
Solo que isn’t the new hotjoin, I still see the same amount of players getting que’ed with me time and time again. Between all sets of skill levels, some people que’ed with me from 300 on leaderboards, others from like 90% on leaderboards in same game.
Now for hotjoin.
1. Newplayers hate being farmed and losing games against smart good players who will all join one team (the winning team) to stack against them.
2. Its just not fun anymore. They made hotjoins too much, prepping you for solo que and team que that the fun factor is now out of it.
a. They did this by making games more winning friendly than having a good time fighting anywhere friendly. (Its more fun ganking than playing to win, old system was better)
b. You feel more pressured due to it being 5v5. You’re now 20% of the contribution compared to the old 8v8 13% contribution.
c. Its never balanced and most of the time its one team that’s stacked and the other team is missing one person, which is a big difference considering the other team has a 20% advantage over you. With 8v8 it wasn’t too much of a deal. With 5v5 its a big deal.
3. Why hotjoin for rewards when solo que and team que offer better rewards.
a. Also offer you chance at fair fights being 5v5 most of the time, while hotjoin having 4v5 a lot more likely.
b. Also the skill level is fair as well due to highly skilled players cannot stack team in solo que.
Last note, hotjoins back in September 2013 had a lot more full servers AND servers being used up WITH active people playing when compared to today.
Also the one and only leaderboard que (no solo or team, just 1 que) is still the same. However I made a lot more friends and it was more friendly with just 1 que compared to this solo and team que. A lot more hot headed, blame everything on team kind of people in the ques right now than compared to back in September 2013.
1) pvp is alive, stop spreading false rumors
2) hotjoin is good for trying out new builds, imo
One indicator how alive a competive game mode is can be the spectators of tournaments.
And that indicator is not good, if you take a look at the higly announced ToL.
Afaik Spectators ranged between 1500-4000.

How is it highly announced? I am in game all the time and never SEE ANYTHING about ToL. I don’t look at the announcements before logging in since I have “auto play” checked and I never get on the forums. I HAVE NO WAY of knowing about ToL and neither does the probable majority of players who are in the same boat as me.
But what I did know, even mid tourney match. Was when Scarlet’s Minions were Attacking for like 6 months.
