Alright, folks, gather ’round! Today, I wanna talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: the second split of the ranked season in League of Legends. Yeah, you heard that right, Split 2 of the Season 14 started at noon of May 15th.
So, I jumped into it, not exactly knowing what to expect. First thing I did? Checked my server time, because you know, gotta make sure you’re not missing out when it starts. Then, I dived straight into some ranked games.
Played a few matches, and I gotta say, it felt… different. I heard they were trying to fix some stuff, like the LP gains and the whole grind feeling. Honestly, in the first few games, I didn’t really notice much. Won some, lost some, the usual deal. But then, I started seeing it.
- The LP gains, yeah, they seem a bit more forgiving, not as harsh when you lose.
- The whole demotion thing? It’s like they toned it down a bit. Didn’t feel like I was constantly on the edge of dropping down a rank.
After a few more games, it hit me. This split actually feels more relaxed. I wasn’t as stressed about every single match, which is a big deal for me. Usually, I’m sweating bullets, worried about dropping ranks and all that. But this time? I actually enjoyed the games, even the ones I lost.
I kept playing, trying out different champions, different roles. I experimented a little, not something I’d usually do in ranked, but hey, the vibe was different, so why not?
And you know what? I think I actually improved a bit. Not worrying so much about my rank let me focus on the game itself. I was making better decisions, playing smarter, not just chasing kills.
I think this ranked system might actually be onto something. It’s not perfect, of course. There are still trolls, AFKers, and the occasional toxic player, but overall, it’s been a more positive experience.
So, what’s the takeaway here? Well, if you’ve been avoiding ranked because of the stress, this might be a good time to jump back in. It’s still competitive, but it feels a bit more forgiving, a bit more focused on actually playing the game and improving.
Now, I’m not saying you’ll magically climb to Challenger in a week. It’s still a grind, but it’s a more enjoyable one. I’m actually looking forward to playing more, and that’s not something I say often about ranked.
So yeah, that’s my experience with the new ranked split so far. It’s been fun, it’s been different, and it’s definitely got me hooked again. I’m gonna keep playing, keep grinding, and see where this split takes me.
That’s all I’ve got for today, folks. Go out there, play some games, and most importantly, have fun!
