To be fair the ranked system SHOULD be better balanced so plats and golds dont get paired with grandmasters. That creates a massive imbalance in the competitive setting and your average player will get frustrated by the fact.

To add into the conversation, Vora is a bit of an oddball champion to me as her cards suggest that she's a close range burst damage combo champion, but her own mechanics go against that and point towards outlasting her opponent in a 1v1 with DoT. To me that kinda doesnt work for a champion with her mechanics and more so interferes with her potential, especially since you have to over-rely on moves like her Q and her invincible dive to sustain yourself in a 1v1 since she lacks raw kill power like most flankers do.

In terms of talking cosmetics I have to disagree with the point on Maeve's pirate skins not working, her ghost pirate skin actually fits her quite well and it makes sense that a ghost could be jumping and flying all over the place and tossing knives everywhere. It reminds me of Grant Dynasty in Castlevania 3.

They were placement matches, and one of the throwers went completely toxic because someone else chose grover.

I know the feeling, I always get sent either to stone keep, jaguar falls, or timber mill.

Do I really even have to mention Vivian? Everyone know's she's broken and braindead and one of the most overpowered champions by design. As for Talus, he's quite strong on PC and still gets banned in ranked. I dont play Maeve on console since the aim assist messes with my tracking on her knives, if I'm going to play on console I usually use Tyra or Lian since they're both backline DPS characters that in terms of console play, take far more skill than Viktor and require better positioning. Also Andro is extremely frustrating to deal with on PC.

I got pushed all the way down to bronze because I had 3 games where people on my team threw the match because their pick got banned or someone else took the champion they main. How is it fair to me that my placement matches get sabotaged when one of my teammates had a tantrum because they didnt get what they want? I want my placement matches and rank reset, this isn't fair at all.

The fact that Talus, Lian, Viktor, Inara, Koga, and Androxus mains still exist. I dont respect them, I dont like them, I hate everything about them and refuse to play with them. They play characters that take no skill to play, are completely braindead in how they work, and abuse the health regen perks in order to stay alive because they're terrible at the game and need a crutch to make up for the fact they're bad at Paladins.
