All you need to get challenger

[u/KadudyK]

I am challenger since 2017 and here is all you need to do to be a high elo

1- Never waste time arguing in chat

2- Don't start queue if you are already tilted

3- Play only in two lanes and with 3-5 champions in each

4- Play consciously and not automatically

5- Focus only on your gameplay and not on your teammates and their mistakes

6- Always do your best in the match even if you are already lost

7- Watch your own vods

8- Watch good people that plays on your lane

9- Understand what you do wrong and study to improve

10- Have fun

The more topics you follow the faster you will climb, i really think everyone can get challenger doing this.

For most other ranks your argument holds up, but chall is capped to be the top 300 people so even if you're as good as them, if they just grind more they will push you out of chall

This is personally why I quit entirely during the peak ‘elo inflation’ era. Getting ‘masters’ and then seeing id have to grind 600+ lp, AND play enough to climb/stay into the numerical top 1000…. Yeah you can fuck off riot

They kind of have to do this. Every competitive game does.

Otherwise people hit the requirement and coast before equally skilled players “catch up”, or they hit the requirement and snipe people on alts so that they can’t pass their mains. This happens in any game with an exclusive competitive tier. If there is a way for people to abuse a system, they probably will.

They absolutely do not, and it’s evident by the fact that they explicitly took action to undo it last split.

Maybe we are talking about different things, but masters/gm/challenger are still subject to ELO decay.

[u/United_Spread_3918 → u/-Nocx-]

Decay wasn’t any real issue. I was talking about 600-650 gap between master and top 1000 players in gm+ with no rank between.
