ELO Hell is real and I know because I live there. Placed into low gold a couple seasons back. Now I feel like I've learned a lot and play better than ever and I can't get out of low silver and I'll be bronze soon. Very cool!

I'm definitely not opposed to the idea that the player base changed enough in 2 seasons to alter the rankings that much, which is fine, except when you rank into a bracket where people play poorly more than 50% there's not much you can do as a solo player.

Edit: missed a letter

Please explain how my winrate was solidly above 80/90% in every case where I queued from Bronze upwards, only slowing down when I started going up against better players.

The other team has 6 possible casual players who have no idea what they're doing. You only have 5 possibles, if you, yourself are not a casual player. This inherently puts the odds in your favour.

What role do you play? I queue support and at least to me it can feel like there's less room to make a big impact than say DPS. Maybe I'm just not healing the right people and need to work on that.

Gameplay starts around 2:20.

They're both hilarious and frustrating to watch. Bronze players are wacky.

I feel attacked.

My guess is making your thing more broadly appealing makes more money that having a unique experience.

The key to increasing player engagement is forcing your existing players to play even more!
