Recently, the issues of game breaking, trolling… especially in ranked matches have captured the attention of the League of Legends community. This has been a long-standing problem in League of Legends, but it only gained traction again following the incident between Faker and Qingtian. Aside from Qingtian’s actions, the observations regarding the ongoing issues in ranked matches, primarily caused by Riot’s inadequate handling, have received widespread agreement from both casual players and professional League of Legends players.
Recently, Faker once again spoke out on his stream. The monument of the League of Legends community asserted firmly: “If I am not a professional player, I would not climb ranks anymore because it’s not fun at all.” According to Faker, ranked matches now feel quite random, similar to gambling, as one cannot predict whether they will win or lose, even with their best efforts. By asserting this, Faker likely alluded to the rampant game-breaking incidents that have occurred in solo queue recently.
Faker’s latest statement immediately garnered attention from the League of Legends community. Across various forums, from players to KOLs in the League of Legends scene, most expressed agreement with Faker’s views. For instance, Cloud9’s streamer IWDominate also recently encountered game breaking and emphasized that whether you win or lose now depends on whether your teammates are serious or not.
It can be said that the problem of game trolling and breaking in solo queue has never been as concerning as it is now. Furthermore, the loose management by Riot regarding the League of Legends player community has never been condemned as much as it is at this moment. And now that the “face of League of Legends” – Faker has subtly expressed his frustration with solo queue, Riot is truly in a “red alert” situation and needs to implement effective solutions as soon as possible.
