the only good change was the elo reset which only helps before the first month is over (and causes problems i will cover later). they still haven't implemented any of the other changes they were talking about before the new season (check rank 1 and 2 on the ranked 2s leaderboard, should give insight to what i'm talking about). only real high points of the season are the new visual things (new boosts, new trade-up system which should definitely contain more items, etc). people are now complaining that the elo reset is causing issues because there is very little reason to play if you are currently champion+ because the chances that you will face someone champion+ is minimal and you gain nearly no points out of playing someone 2 or 3 ranks below yours. this was a huge problem back during the bronze-silver-gold-platinum times when pros in plat would play people in bronze or silver or even gold and they would actually gain 0 points (i actually remember playing someone in plat when i was gold in 1s and i lost nothing when i lost). not as bad as before, but might as well be. only real solution to fixing this is to make it so people can only play against/with people within 1 rank of their rank, but that raises the issue of queue times which would completely kill the ranking system. there's no reason to play at decently high ranks solely to rank up because chances are you are going to rank down unless you are a top player. the only reason i am playing right now is to practice.
can't say i'm impressed with the new season, but i guess it's a step in the right direction?
anyway, azzeffir23 - literally just play the game and keep practicing. how many hours do you currently have? if you are at around 50-150 you probably should technically be around those ranks, if you've upwards of 200-300, figure out what you're doing wrong. are you making mechanical mistakes, is your positioning bad, are you predictable? also, watch pro streams. most importantly, put in the time to play the game every day and you will be good.
also also, thought i'd mention because it's pretty cool, was chosen to play on a team that is being coached by haku (professional player/streamer), should be fun.
