spoke to some trusted people yesterday and theyre also playing with the idea of a time-limited que daily

#

like the one weve mentioned in here

raven mist
#

if you're euw that means you're typing in portuguese to your teammates in the chat ?

#

isn't Hight like 4,000 rp. so yes while it may be difficult, the system works

bro is @ing me btw HAHA. good one

#

hope the wingdings in chat shotcalling for your team works out. maybe you take a visit back to d1 before you realize the communication and decision making skills it takes to be an effective leader

#

he cry about restrictions because his boosters rank up legend too fast and he is stuck alone in master

raven mist
#

people in league of legends gm+ also cry about that shit bc they are duo abusers

#

how incredible is it that in this game you're 33% of the impact, as opposed to 20% from a moba, but then since there's so much teamplay and pinging and stuff, you control at least 50% of the game's outcome if you play with a captain playstyle

timid stump
raven mist
#

20% of my games have micah in them and he's engaging by himself and quite literally carrying his teammates' corpses to victory

#

2,000+ rp

#

Hight queues with an ante of like 55+, 0 bonus, but we have some peaker whining in the threads

#

it's not fun once they start losing

#

if you look at ranked flex in LoL, you're allowed to queue with friends from any elo, and it's the most disgusting chinese boosting abomination you've ever seen. No one takes it seriously. You need soloQ to have ranked integrity

#

no one has desire to queue up for a rank if the rank itself is devoid of meaning and value

#

belittling that concept will get your fastest drop in playerbase

worldly flicker
#

it has no value or meaning right now anyway

#

its a playtime indicator, not a skill indicator

#

but compared to normals i ACTUALLY get to fight SOME good players

wicked bough
# raven mist no one has desire to queue up for a rank if the rank itself is devoid of meaning...

I guarantee you this game's ranked had more meaning with no restrictions.

Getting into close to no high elo lobbies, being forced to 1v3 basically the entire game, then getting told to die irl cus you didn't go in and fight against a team legit 3 levels above yours. Who in the fuck would want to ever play that? Then you can't even try to avoid it cus the game just doesn't even let you play with friends.

For the first 2 or so weeks of 1.0 there was high wlo lobbies very consistently and if you just watched streamers during that time you'd know that to be true.

Now there just isn't.

Is it because we have less players at that level? Yes. But we have less players because of the restrictions.

raven mist
#

i got stuck m4 for 10 days but i've recently started climbing again. i think lower skilled people will hit that wall and never get past it

worldly flicker
#

its the same players

#

the quality has been genuinely abyssmal

raven mist
#

the same players but as soon as you hit master+ you get 0 bonus (most of the time 0. but sometimes you get 5 or 10 rarely) and lose like 40% of your rp

#

idk the ranked distribution but the amount of players that are in both d1 and m4 has to be like 10:1 compared to m3

#

i think plenty of people are unskilled enough to be hardstuck plat/diamond/m4 forever

autumn jewel
#

To add quality to ranked. There needs to be bonus points removed. And not let people gain RP in plat going 8th place 3 kills. And let people duo queue at least

#

Bottom 6 finish shouldn't gain. Lower kill value. So people are playing supervive not chase sim.

raven mist
#

that incentive to kill people is what makes the game fun and fast paced. with no incentive, people will just play extremely f*ing slow and not interact ever because fighting is risky

#

no one wants to sit as a bush for placement

autumn jewel
#

I guess. But if the map wasnt omega huge and circle timer was faster it would be unavoidable

digital sundial
raven mist
#

as it is now with the top 5 teams left, fighting just sucks. You put yourself in a volatile position to get collapsed on and are very unlikely to get past 3rd or 4th. playing slow and only fighting weak teams for knocks is the meta rn i feel

#

everyone in their own little clumps of 3 controlling a small area. rarely interacting

#

if you go forward and get 2 knocks and get reduced to 40% hp, piranhas smell the blood and you get giga 3rd 4th partied

wicked bough
floral tide
#

Imo they shouldn't be rewarding rp directly;
If kills and placement gave you points, and then you rank the teams by points and award rp based on that rank, and mmr, I think the system would be way better without overincentivising kill farming etc.
Would need to wait for the full game to finish to see your rp though

tidal drift
#

In this thread I make the case for improving ranked integrity

Some people claim to want the same thing, but in the same vein will say that it makes sense that plat/legend players can be on the same team or in the same lobby

Essentially you're just happy you no longer have to pay for elo boosting because some master/GM/legend player now has to do it for free

#

Idc about your CCU cope it's already been addressed

digital sundial
#

id prefer my teammates and enemies both be within a division of me

#

biggest issue i have with ranked is that it doesnt actually give me any idea of my skill level

#

but we do not have enough players for it tbh

#

there are like 300 ppl playing ranked na at peak hours

#

10 games goin and i get 20 minute ques fairly often

#

if they do anything to quing atm game dies, if they do nothing about quing game dies

#

tough spot to be in

#

at dead hours there wouldnt be enough playing people in na to have a lobby for each metal

tidal drift
#

Address lobby issues for top end of players -> top players return

Top players get put in low lobbies less often -> low elo players not getting stomped by top players

???

Profit

digital sundial
#

yeah, on the surface you are 100% right

#

but youre forgetting that when the que goes from 20 minutes to 40 minutes because neither of the two groups are playing with each other

#

you lose even more people

#

cause im not waiting 40 minutes to play this game. i cant believe i wait 20 tbh

#

and i pinky promise you that johnny first game is not gonna wait 40m. hes not gonna spend 6 hours in que to see if he can get to silver

#

oh look, my que just popped at 18 minutes and i have a gold 2, a diamond 1, and me in master on my team

tidal drift
#

Well no, the top end have more players so they get queues and it's only the top end 300ish players per server not in the low elo lobbies

digital sundial
#

bro

#

im gonna quit if i keep getting this

#

theres NO fucking way

#

What if supervive encouraged a certain time of day for higher ranks to queue? Like if most of the high elo matched games are being played between 6 and 9pm, put a notice in the game menu saying "lowest queue time between 6 and 9pm"? I doubt this will fix much but maybe it could help.?

Would bringing in more players into the game help this situation? Genuinely out of the loop for how this discussion has gone in the other thread(s).

timid stump
#

this pairs with the original suggestion i gave to the devs to make 3man-stacking a limited time-period every day

#

U could honestly make 2 seperate ranks this way aswell, a soloque rank and a party rank

#

it genuinely opens up so many options

#

3 hour time period daily where u get party rank and can 3stack

#

holy peak

tidal drift
#

I've been duoing with my buddy and I swear it's so much more playable, I would take the nofill duo over a low elo team mate

#

Yeah a hype 3 man queue that happens at different times would be ace

wtf did you just say man? we are a real region, and better than you at least, deepshit and the guy on the clip would solo the shit out of you. Xenophobick mf like you can go to ****

#

There's only one difference between you. You received a ton of marketing at the game's launch, and yet the number of players is only declining, while we in Brazil didn't receive a cent at launch, and we have a small but stable audience, doing scrims and so on. So I wish you had more respect for our region. When your region is in disrepair, idiots like you (not generalizing, because I know you're not all like this guy), who think you know everything without even knowing the conditions in another place, will be crying over the lack of attention they received, unlike us, who are still fighting.

digital sundial
#

i like brazil

#

i went there once. i saw the jesus

slim copper
#

its funny to read that. A good portion of the legend rankings are made up of Brazilian players, and I'm absolutely certain that if you were put in a lobby with some of the legends from our region, you'd stop playing because you'd feel so bad. I really feel sorry for your region having a player like you, who undoubtedly has below-average skills in 99% of the games he plays and who, for some unknown reason, wants to spread hate towards a region you don't even know

#

who knows, maybe one day the game will get out of the bad situation it's in and we'll have the pleasure of crushing your skull in a match

Funny you should say that, you're just a rat to me. If you made my list, I'd make a point of hunting you down on the map and showing you what a good SA legend does. You think you're a good player? To me, you're a rat, a lowly player.

@raven mist
You're clearly xenophobic, a trash player, and a human being. I really wish I could play against you and take all your league points from this match to the point where you'd give up playing. I love beating players like you in ranked queues. You scumbag!

For once paqt is right

I hope you guys realize this is just showing your region is bad and toxic... not helping at all and arguing for no fucking reason off of just 1 statement. Even if thatg statement was bad this is just worse by a good amount.
Not helping at all, so pls stop.

@raven mist I would like to invite you to watch my stream on Twitch, and I see that you also have a channel on Twitch, I would love to see you play lol, I want to see your player level, since you say that ours is low. Show me your level.

raven mist
# slim copper its funny to read that. A good portion of the legend rankings are made up of Bra...

i'm grandmaster in league of legends on NA. from my experience, playing on minor servers, they are several ranks lower in terms of skill. so even if you get legend in a small region, the level of skill is not the same, it's not comparable, and is elo inflated

in the league of legends scene, north america merged with LAN and BR, both of which are trash regions, and never win https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/LTA/2025_Season

Leaguepedia | League of Legends Esports Wiki

The 2025 League of Legends Championship of The Americas ("LTA") is the first year of merged Americas professional League of Legends competition.

lots of emotion, not much skill

timid stump

no need to argue @dry pendant he is ragebaiting you too much

the ego of 1 person doesnt matter and it doesnt represent the community, so dont worry

maybe we can go back to complaining about que restrictions? 😛

yeah don't make up shit, thanks

i don't want to talk about that topic but i will respond to defamation

I have no intention of straying from the real subject, since we are here for the same purpose, but you can't ignore a guy with an ego this big committing xenophobia and thinking he's the center of attention because he was a GM in League of Legends, I have to laugh at a guy like this, you can't ignore what I read, but anyway. let's continue the real discussion

Yeah im aware, i dont read all discussions but ive noticed too lol

#

This guy is simply here just to show that he is a GM in League of Legends lol

opaque meteor
#

i was master in EUW before gm was a thing, doesnt really change the fact that the ranked ladder and systems a br needs to work dont really compare to any moba

bitter cove
#

A game with 12 teams per match cant compare its ranked system to a game with 2 teams per match, lol

opaque meteor
#

Looking at how its setup in sv, basically needing alotta players and no restrictions to even be competitive, no regions ranked ladder is a true display of skill

#

dont let people that take pride in their ranks tell u otherwise.

#

If ranked would work, we wouldnt need restrictions and bronze players matched into a legend players team

dry pendant
#

we see a moderator with an ego, a league of legends player, lol

stone relic
#

I even apologize for what I said, it's okay to say the fact that our region has fewer players, but there's no need to be rude, I had to say it lol

opaque meteor

#

They are totally different games, different mechanics, different play styles, what a stupid comparison to make.

opaque meteor
#

Its like 2 people that starve but one just got a piece of bread and starts making fun of the other

#

Youre both still starving

bitter cove
#

TBH, I think the restrictions are the reason that there aren't enough players for comp ladders

opaque meteor
#

yep

#

I hard agree.

#

You cant market a game towards casuals and take the core part of casual gaming away: playing together.

tidal drift
#

Also I'm so sorry but I'm grateful to this thread for the new copy pasta:

#

Funny you should say that, 🗣️ you're just a rat to me. 🐀 If you made my list, 📜 I'd make a point of hunting you down on the map 🏹 🎯 and showing you what a good SA legend does. 😤 💯 You think you're a good player? 🤣 To me, you're a rat, a ⬇️ lowly player. ⬇️

opaque meteor
#

I said it back in the old thread and ill say it again, we had 1 week after 1.0 drop max to save the ladder from dying again

#

and that was only possible with the removal of restrictions

#

As soon as a large portion hit masters

#

the queues felt like absolute shit

tidal drift
#

Fortunately we're in talks with devs to come to a resolution about this

opaque meteor
#

Before that it was a wet dream for everyone that loves Supervive.

tidal drift
#

agreed nerryl

#

1.0 launch was so much fun

dry pendant
#

But how can I compete with a completely shitty matchmaker, where I see in my friends list, players of the MASTER rank, playing with low elos instead of putting these master players to our queue in the legend. It makes much more sense

opaque meteor
#

experienced players basically queued on their high elo mmr

#

so they were in their own games for a while

#

but the problem with restrictions is, that the teams didnt seem to have fills in similar enough mmr, so they could even get a bronze player

#

which felt like it brought the mmr of the lobby down enough for more and more bad squads to show up in these games

dry pendant
opaque meteor
#

which ultimately made ranked feel like absolute dogshit again

glad dirge
#

they could just do smash way and implement LEGENDS queue

#

or whatever it was called

opaque meteor
#

Like why queue if i cant play with friends, have to eloboost noobs and also play against absolute dogshit or smurfs stacking

#

I just wish theyd aknowledge that the upper ladder isnt 1 squad winning 80% of games anymore

tidal drift
opaque meteor
#

and forget about the entire legend queue bs

#

I dont think its nessecary in EU

#

i dont think itd be nessecary in NA either

#

and i dont think catering towards small pop regions is a good way of populating the game

#

if enough people show up to play this game in NA and EU

#

enough people in small pop will follow

opaque meteor
#

and then even the most casual of casuals will get there

#

cant play with their friends

#

and stop playing

dry pendant
#

It's difficult for new players to emerge in these regions if the devs ignore our existence, a game released without any marketing, comical in

opaque meteor
#

i really wanna know real datapoints on this because in the first discussion past 1.0 about this, a dev literally claimed the 1 squad 80% issue still existed so i doubt their data on it is accurate/they even still review it

#

Becaus everyone that was playing in eu at least knew that wasnt the case

#

eu for the first 2 days was constant war

#

Law of the Jungle

#

Fun as fuck

opaque meteor
#

league is the same too

#

You cant spool up a live service game nowadays and create it for casuals.

dry pendant
#

Many people on the servers stop playing because they can't play with their friends when they reach certain levels. I don't see a problem with that, but most people find it frustrating. How can you train a team that wants to compete one day if they can't play together? It's comical.

open moss
dry pendant
#

this is obvious, but the synchronization comes from the ranked queues

timid stump
#

If u look at dota2, teams can 5manstack all the way until they are among the top 0.5%

#

and then they only get matched with other top0.5%

#

so they still get competitive games and great practice

#

in supervive if i want to practice mercury for tournaments, i cant do so because its impossible in soloque.

#

she is communication based and i need my team to do setups

#

the same gos for many characters like eva, tetra, bishop etc

dry pendant
#

The devs don't think that if they let friends play together in ranked queues, consequently, many reached the top, and ended the matchmaker difficulty, playing together makes it much easier for some to climb, especially friends who come from other games together

opaque meteor
#

with how its set up right now, this issue is even worse.

#

not people with teammates get boosted

#

everyone does.

#

and everyone reaches master and gets restricted

bitter cove
opaque meteor
#

which btw, most of the top% playerbase didnt even complain about

#

according to them we had no fun

#

Idk where they got that from

#

i had less fun after they added restrictions

#

i think most of us agree.

#

they shouldve made sure lil timmy that complains about it after a bad game in #🍞│general shouldnt have gotten into these games instead

graceful vector
#

yep

opaque meteor
#

Devs need to understand that playing comp means that we want to go through cock and ball torture for hundreds of games just so we start winning 2/10 games against the top squad instead of 1/10

#

that progress is what people sign up for when they queue ranked

dusty granite
#

you get a truly mixed bag of skills but

#

many skilled players were playing so

#

the numbers leveled out

#

and the fact that there was nothing to lose

#

people played way more on the edge

dry pendant
#

I see this as a problem, 3 legends of difficult players, playing against 3 masters, but I learned this way, playing against 4 legends in ranked queues and today I don't see any legend that I have difficulty playing against, I see that this has made me a great player. Playing against the best makes you better, if players who have competitive spirits like me, don't care about this. I see it as a problem only for casuals, because they would have difficulty playing against these legends.

I never said it doesn't happen in other regions, but you were confidently incorrect.
Funny thing is that even on first week of 1.0 during peak hours EU when we had 10k ccu there would still be 1 forced bot team per lobby

slim copper
#

This discussion will lead nowhere, and it only started with the comment of an unfortunate person wanting to inferiorize a region for having fewer players than another, we have great players here.

Unfortunately, it's sad to see that this still happens, I, like any other player, never wanted this to happen.

#

Regions with less people have bots more often, and thus gain more RP

#

or more potential rp, for one team, i should say

#

overall it's the same amount of RP, but it's most likely going to be funneled into the good players

#

For example this game i just played, where 6 out of 12 teams were bots

misty summit
#

Bro i uninstall this game and i feel happy again

digital sundial
#

2 games in a row

slim copper
#

yes friend, the game is dying and losing players every day that passes, enough of this subject, unfortunately there is nothing we can do

worldly flicker
#

there is one thing to do

#

remove restrictions.

#

simple as.

digital sundial
#

tbf i dont think that would help

#

instead of 9 masters having to duo and solo and there being 4 or 5 teams resulting from it

#

now thres 3 cause theyre 3 stacking

#

im not saying masters shouldnt be able to 3 stack im just saying that wont fix the bot issue

bitter cove
#

Removing restrictions would bring back maybe 100-200 people

wicked bough
#

If we could get enough high elo players back it'd be huge and no restrictions would probably be fine. If we couldn't then they probably shouldn't be removed.

wicked cedar
bitter cove
#

Tbh, probably

#

Its too late to remove restrictions

#

They would need to do it at the start of the new season or with a big bump in player count

#

They waited too long

chrome roost
#

yes

flat lark
#

remove restrictions and make it so that the only mode to queue is ranked bc splitting an already small playerbase makes it harder for everyone to find a match. leave co-op v ai for the more casual/newer players

like thats the exact reason why every new player quited

#

on a real note

#

i guess i dont hate the idea of mixing the ques but then like

#

people will just quit because rank is meaningless again

#

its just based on how many noobs you can squash

#

so i think i agree w u

flat lark
# chrome roost like thats the exact reason why every new player quited

the reason the ppl i tried bringing in quit was similar i suppose since they said that it was tough to grasp the mechanics since there are an abundance of little things that make a big difference to know.
but like, more players would help the newer ones go vs other newer players rather than being stuck with premade legend stacks filling their lobbies

#

it's a population problem more than anything else causing imbalanced matches

#

true

#

and pop is fixed with marketing

#

pop is fixed by making the game appealing and marketing is part of it, but so is gameplay

digital sundial
#

gameplay for sv is great tho

flat lark
#

if the game isn't good then people wont bother. it appeals to a niche market already-- people who liked teamfighting in moba top-down games at a competitive level. will be hard to get enough fish with a small net

#

idk man it could be the best game on earth and if you never see or hear about it you cant play it

flat lark
#

i have been trying to get my friends to play it but they just don't like the idea of it and dont even try it or quit after 2 or 3 matches

digital sundial
#

my friends all liked the game a lot but found soloq miserable once they hit ranked

flat lark
#

i feel bad bc part of me thinks i'm just doing a bad job at bringing people in but like idk what to do differently. i think it might just be a lot of information to learn right off the bat and it's hard to filter out what should be taught 1st and what should come after

digital sundial
#

loved the mechanics and liked learning them

#

there is a huge demographic of people that want hard games

#

with mechanics

#

they just need to see it at all

flat lark
#

me too, i'm the type of person that wants to master something and learn more. I think it requires that sort of mentality

# chrome roost yeah and make noobs get stomped

My solution was always m+ are in an entirely different que than everyone else. I choose masters cus that's when you've played for long enough to where you aren't a noob even if you're still bad.
Then if you're queing with people who are below masters(in party) you all get put in the same lobbies due to how this game is with it's 1vN stuff.

Whether this'd work idk but I've liked the sound of it for a while

#

i think it works perfect tbh it just isnt possible cause playercount 🙁

#

Tbh, removing restrictions now will cause more harm then good, it took them too long

digital sundial

yeah

It would bring back, at most, 500 people, but make another 500-800 feel like they are only going against death squads because the playerbase has gotten so low

#

the issue gets overblown the moment the playerbase already ranked up enough through the lack of competitive queues anyways

#

you either start the season fresh with everyone on bronze with restrictions removed and see if tit actually keeps people out of master enough to have good queue quality and make ranked feel less like a time grind

#

or you dont remove them and removing them later on is basically a thing of "will this actually do anything outside of having top trios shitting on the silvers that are in there because of the low pop"

#

I said it back in the first thread already it was a now or never thing

#

Maybe theyll do it in the next season. I think you also already clocked out of this one regarding queues looking at ur thread in the other disc

#

Good to see the discussion in this channel dying down as a result, it really isnt something thats wsorth discussing until next season is on the brink of release

digital sundial
#

it just

#

sucks that we have to say "guess ill wait a few months to see if ranked is fun again"

#

i agree with you but it is so painful quing up at high elo

#

not just for me, like when these little guys are typing "sorry" at the end of their game

#

like, its not their fault. they shouldnt feel sorry for quing up

opaque meteor
#

there sadly isnt really a way to fix this since ranked resets are also the only thing that still creates somewhat of an increase in players.

#

I barely play the game myself because of it since friends quit

#

like i only played ~20 games on this patch and i dont want to play anymore

#

and just been enjoying other stuff waiting for them to adress the issues and hopefully do better on next wipe lol

#

almost feels like playing an extraction shooter

#

armory amplified all issues i had with the game alot too

tidal drift
#

Agreed it's too late for anything to make a difference other than a ranked reset, marketing and a gameplay overhaul

#

I stopped playing supervive too 🫡

#

I did a similar thread days ago, high elo player leaving because of the restriction :s

#

hopefully

#

give competitive gameplay a try

#

fix ranked

#

make it feel like something worth anyones time by actually making the grind and skill reflect ur rank

#

instead of it just being a time marker

#

that keeps people engaged alot more than feeling like theyre trying to catch up on a broken system
