Who nowadays still throws a ranked game for fun, except for a vile troll who will revel in the tears of his teammates? A little frankness does not hurt, therefore it is better to admit that the vast majority of players launch a ranked game in order to earn LP. But there is a server, where the precious reward was no longer distributed for a few hours, leaving an entire population in embarrassment.
Where everything wants to kill you, even Riot Games
Let’s say that with this title, the amateurs of clichés will have understood that we are talking about oceania server, because Australia is indeed one of the most dangerous places in the world. Note that there is not only Australia in Oceania, but if the editor had been good at school, he would do a real job today. So going back to one of the bugs, it couldn’t be simpler: LP gain was disabled in ranked. Which means that after long minutes spent doing their best to maintain some semblance of team spirit (or just praying for it to be worse on the opposing team), the players did not receive their well-deserved reward. If some can be happy with that (after all, who likes losing LP on a team where players started insulting each other before they got out of base, because the top Malphite is going to play AP and not tank, or vice versa), most of them feel that there is no longer any interest in playing, if there is no more LP.
For example, Timothé (the first name has been changed) lost his taste for everything without having his precious LP. His parents are worried, and testify: “He even ate his spinach without complaining, but also agreed to take a shower, which hadn’t happened for 6 months. Such a sudden change worries us.” (this testimony is completely falsebut the posts of some salty players tended to dramatizethen we did the same but in null version)
Chaos, we need more Chaos!
To return to a more serious subject, the bug did not only affect the ranked, but all game modes. Because at least the players who launched a ranked and ended up in Summoner’s Rift were lucky. Other testimonies arrived, such as that of a person who wanted to launch her classic ranked and found herself… in a TFT game. Or again, this player who thought of ending up in an ARAM, before seeing the League of Legends classic mode map.. while keeping his summoner spells from ARAM. The story doesn’t say if anyone went jungle with the snowball in summoner spell, but somewhere we hope so. Jungle monsters don’t often get a chance to laugh, so this would have been a good opportunity to show them some love.
For information, the Random cast ARAM kept Summoner’s Rift rules in terms of gold earned per minute, which made them even more frustrating, because longer. Finally during a Double Up on TFT, your mate was randomly chosen among the other players (after all, why play with the person you are grouped with? Have new experiences as hell!) Anyway, Riot Games has deployed an emergency hotfixand things seem to be back to normal (even if the LP or experience points of champions have not been redistributed). The causes of this bug are still unknown, and it is unlikely that the League of Legends publisher will give more information about it.
esport-lol
The European League of Legends community is mourning one of its old darlings… Even though he had taken off a long time ago, the LEC public continued to follow his adventures abroad. Unfortunately, he was forced to hang up his cleats.
