@RomaKorneev @mangaa How mfker looked typing out this tweet

@mangaa Bla bla bla let’s use Slavic looking guy but let’s twist Slavic northern kind temper I know lots of people recommend it but I still haven’t watched or read it it feels wrong And like if we speak about some common things bro.. we all… were born also… and all of us breathe, sleep

@RiotPhroxzon I think i speak for every player that cares about competitive integrity, rather than stockpiled dopamine: reset the ladder, people will be angry but it is the right thing to do

Apex LP Gains Hey everyone, We’ve had a lot of attempted changes to resolve some of the root issues with the Apex experience this year. Some have worked OK and others haven’t worked as well. We wanted to shine a light on changes that are going out (hopefully) today and how we’re going to approach it for the near term and wanted to apologize for the experience that people have been running into so far. Does every region have negative LP gains? - Less than 5 of our 16 regions are having negative LP gains in Apex right now, and they’re to varying extents - Some of those are experiencing it consistently and others, just a little bit, and most, none at all Is Aegis of Valor causing this? - We don’t see any long term impacts on LP gains caused by Aegis - Especially given that the majority of regions are functioning completely fine What’s going on then? - Masters being more achievable this Season & the best players getting stronger as the years go on is expanding the gap between the bottom of Master and the top of Challenger. - The addition of Challenger duos made it more challenging to balance some of these games - While we took pre-emptive mitigations to reduce the impact of things like Rank 1 & 2 duoing together, they weren’t powerful enough and resulted in the best players catapulting further ahead - The rollout of our improved Matchmaking and better balance to duos (this is now Live in every region); does a better job of balancing duos and balancing autofills to make Apex matches more balanced in over 90% of cases, but there is still work to be done when the very best players are duoing together - In the Live Ranked system, the max LP attainable has a soft cap to prevent LP gains from getting too high, which combined with the above issues has led to a less than ideal apex ladder experience Are you going to reset the ladder? - There are some set of people who are really vocal about resetting the ladder; we hear the concerns and are taking them seriously - At the same time, there are a lot of players who will find it very frustrating for all their progress to be reset and while some players will be happy we reset it, others will not, so we’re continuing to evaluate The changes we’re making - To reiterate, in the Live Ranked system, the max LP attainable has a soft cap to prevent LP gains from getting too high - The closer you get to the top of the ladder, you need a higher and higher winrate to climb. - ie. As a player gets closer and closer to the cap, their gains will approach +10/-30 - We’re going to remove this cap, which will unbound LP on the top end and result in the very best players being able to play and climb to pretty high LP values (+30/-10LP until they start to reach where they should be) - It will also make LP gains for the entire Apex ladder more stable, but LP cutoffs for Grandmaster and Challenger will also increase when most players no longer have negative LP gains - We expect most regions to reach peak LP’s of around 3000 and in some of the top end cases, close to 4000 - Grandmaster and Challenger are meant to be very difficult to achieve and it’s intended to be challenging to get there (in the same way that an Emerald player should look at Diamond and feel like it’s going to be difficult to achieve) - At the same time, we’ve heard your feedback that hitting these ranks feels too daunting and grindy (though there is an expectation that the peak ranks in a game are going to require more dedication to keep, we need to strike a good sweet spot here) The future - Us making climbing at apex less daunting caused us to add Grandmaster several years ago and we’re nearing some of those feels now; the skill gaps in Apex are getting too big - In some regions also, the number of Grandmaster/Challenger slots being too low for how big their region is is also contributing to the cutoffs being very high (EUW being a notable example) -> curious on thoughts on increasing this - We might also reconsider the top end of how much LP you can gain per win, but need to be considerate of how much this incentivizes smurfing - Changes to systems like these are a natural part of League being a long-lived game and having growing player skills over time Thank you for being patient with us as we fix all the things and we’ll continue to work to make the top of ladder climbing experience the best it can be.

@Agurinlol Worshipping jewish leaders goes a long way

WTF is this? LP gains went from +16 to +27 for him ?

@_Franco0 spoken like a lion

Todos son matchups buenos para Viktor, pasa que sos un negro de mierda

@BurakKa65548126 @RiotPhroxzon Im wondering yoi spend so much time and anger on me, Why are you terrified of voicing? Is it being a social reject?

@DaTraceezy @RiotPhroxzon Im not religious at all bro, so im not really sure which prophet you mean, prolly islam? From your timeline it seems like you like talking about what you just mentioned though, kinda suspicious especially considering the origin of your name

Apologies to some of the Apex tier folks who've still been having bad gains over the weekend. (this shouldn't be affecting any other tiers) Wanted to acknowledge that this is a frustrating situation for y'all. While the number of people affected is low (<15% of apex players), we'll be looking to rectify the situation tomorrow and fingers crossed, that fix can keep things stable for the rest of the season. Thanks for your patience 🙏

@BurakKa65548126 @RiotPhroxzon Youre terrified of voice chatting and make demands?

@DaTraceezy @RiotPhroxzon just link account that you supposedly peaked on bro haha

@BurakKa65548126 @RiotPhroxzon Are you retarded because you are a turk, or are you a turk because youre retarded Id like to give you the chance to take this to voice chat but im assuming, just like every loser youd be terrified If not dm me your discord

@DaTraceezy @RiotPhroxzon case closed, point proven, you are way to lowelo for all of this to apply to you cheers

@BurakKa65548126 @RiotPhroxzon Idk tag drew levin he might show you my 1100 lp peak

@DaTraceezy @RiotPhroxzon bro is 30 man, but sure link your alltime peak this one Shadow Fiend#Trace? or is it other acc

Imagine you are Faker, every single soloq player who verses you will automatically try harder than ever before No one gets better practise than someone respected by everyone

@iShowShitpost @C0ST0M and @MartyBG2 discussing blackfire torch

@onsra_xo @talonfreakk @pinkhope_xo murder on the timeline, but for what? a king fighting a peasent proves nothing.

@talonfreakk @pinkhope_xo

can we stop boosting random bitches to master+ like im legit tired of seeing useless 90iq egirls on my game

@emerrin_lol 5% arm pen and up to 15% bonus dmg does infact sound way better than healing reduction and without even checking i think youd look for hours tryin to find a champ that has higher winrate on mortal than LDR considering mortal is only build in its respective games rethink your take

if enemy team has sundered sky bruisers and you're building LDR over mortal reminder you're not very smart, why yes I'd love to spend 300 extra gold on less effective dmg (the reduced healing WILL be more than the giant slayer damage)

@dpmlol can ff15 if lurox is considered, the guy is absurdly shit and retarded

Some potential candidates for Germany’s 🇩🇪 Nations Cup roster. ⚡️

@LolMalice They also just get away with this vile shit because being top 2k in a video game is the only time minorities dont matter :D:D:D:D

honestly riot deserves a slow clap for ruining the season to this extent and taking no action to fix it, how you can be challenger with 6 master players per game, multiple fills and +15-25, well done riot you guys are the most incompetent retards on the face of the earth

If you are blocked by drew levin, you are doing everything right in life. Bonus points if it was due to not being obnoxious and insulting

@Odysseus_131 jews not taking responsibility is nothing new is it

The ego on this guy lmao, instead of just apologizing or admitting hes in the wrong he just blocks. Genuine dickhead fuck you
