[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 64

GoodAtGame4148

Occasionally, in normal games, there are matches that are completely incomprehensible based on common sense.

This was happening because the MMR between normal games and ranked games is partially separate.

─────────

[Allies / Enemies]

─────────

(Platinum 3) / (Master)

(Level 21) / (Grandmaster)

(Gold 3) / (Diamond 3)

(Silver 3) / (Level 341)

(Level 26) / (Diamond 2)

─────────

Yes, just like right now.

“…….”

Is the enemy team for real?

No, leaving the enemy team aside, why is the tier difference between the two teams like this in the first place?

League of Legends is a relative game.

Regardless of the opponent's absolute tier, if their tier is higher than your allies, the game becomes extremely difficult.

But what on earth is this tier difference right now?

I felt that the matchmaking was extremely unfair, but I couldn't complain.

The reason for this strange phenomenon was none other than my winning streak.

[Good at Games4148]

[Level 21]

Solo Rank

- Unranked

Normal Games

- 51 wins 0 losses

- Win rate 100%

51 wins 0 losses.

This isn't an easy winning streak, even considering it's a normal game.

Of course, even so, it was quite rare for such an extreme tier difference to exist between the two teams, but the fact that it's rare doesn't mean it's impossible.

In other words, I could say I was unlucky.

‘Ugh.’

Still, the game had already started, and I had no choice but to keep playing.

- You have slain an enemy!

- An ally has been slain!

It wasn't easy, nor was it a difficult game, but as a result, it was a long game.

[Victory]

57 minutes 14 seconds.

That was the time I exchanged the opponent's Nexus and Baron through backdoor.

[Wow... they did this]

[May-nim, what's your main account's tier?]

From the beginning, the game was heavily disadvantageous for my team.

The enemy team seemed dumbfounded, not expecting to lose this game, while my allies were overjoyed.

[Wow, carry GG]

[It was a life game in a normal game lol]

[Fr fr ㅋㅋ]

[May, what's your real tier? I saw the enemy jungler was Grandmaster,ㄷㄷㄷ Is it really a real Challenger smurf?]

“Ugh….”

I felt completely drained, probably because it was a long match after a while.

I was about to take a break, but the thought that I'd have to play two more games tomorrow if I rested today made me queue again with a half-hearted feeling.

[Game found!]

[Accept / Decline]

And…….

[Victory]

I won again.

[Victory]

I won, and then I won again.

[Victory]

Of course, the process wasn't easy.

If it was just a game where the tier difference between the two teams was like before, I would have been fine.

However, as is often the case in life, not everything went as expected.

I met the guys I had to meet.

[? Our 3rd pick has a 100% win rate]

[Throwing]

Occasionally, there are those kinds of guys.

A group of people who intentionally don't play games, just to try to put even a single scratch on my 100% win rate.

‘Ugh… I thought it was too quiet.’

In League of Legends, meeting trolls is one of the unavoidable fates.

And that frequency increases exponentially the lower the tier.

It was inevitable given the structure of the tier system.

Moreover, this is a normal game.

Also, it's what's called a "jjo-mal" (small fry).

The absence of points, which is one of the biggest brakes on trolling.

‘Hmm.’

Because I haven't raised a sub-account so far, I rarely met trolls who blatantly troll like that, but even so, the existence of trolls wasn't unfamiliar.

Even if top-tier users relatively troll less, it's only a relative frequency, not that they don't exist at all.

In particular, it could be said that trolling, not due to in-game emotional conflict, was quite frequent.

‘It's not a disease game for nothing.’

However, the troll I met now wasn't trolling due to emotional conflict but just a troll for fun.

It was a bit regrettable that I had to win against those guys, but since I get more experience points when I win than when I lose, I had no choice as I wanted to get to ranked games as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the trolling wasn't so malicious, as the origin of the troll wasn't in-game conflicts, but pure fun.

At best, just mindlessly diving into the mid lane?

- An ally has been slain!

- An enemy is slaying!

To properly troll, you shouldn't just blindly charge into the enemy mid lane like that.

It's better to grow by eating lane or jungle monsters normally and hindering your allies from growing as much as possible.

‘Or maybe that’s their skill.’

Looking at the situation, the latter seemed more likely.

‘I should raise my tier quickly.’

To do that, leveling up was the priority, and to level up even a little faster, I had to win this game.

[Victory]

Should I call this a human victory?

Even in a 4:6 game with a troll, I ended up facing the word "victory."

[0/27/2]

The death count of the ally troll was a whopping 27 deaths at this time.

Even though it was a death count that couldn't be recorded in a normal game, it didn't stop me from winning the game.

[They lose even if you throw them ㅉㅉ, insects]

The troll left the lobby, leaving that remark.

He was a disgusting guy until the very end.

[Report]

Eat a report.

Even if there are many complaints about the weak sanctions against trolls, it's because the scope of actions defined as trolling is ambiguous.

Such blatant trolling, with more than 20 deaths, will be surely sanctioned, no matter how lenient the sanction net is.

“Ugh….”

After securing yet another so-called "grudging victory," I leaned back in my chair and stretched.

Because playing games this way was exhausting, no matter who I was.

‘Is this right?’

I felt a sense of disillusionment with the game I loved so much.

If someone saw me like this, they would say, "It's just a normal game, just play casually."

But I found it hard to agree with that.

‘Even so, I don't want to lose a game I can win.’

Still, if I kept playing games this way, it was clear that I would quickly burn out, so I decided to change the way I play.

‘Should I relax a bit?’

Everyone has those kinds of picks.

So-called their own signature picks, champions that make you feel a strange pressure to win when you play them.

The so-called serious picks.

However, I'm pretty confident about almost all champions that can be used as junglers.

In other words, for me, almost all jungle champions are accepted as champions to win.

That's why I chose to change positions.

A position other than jungle.

Anywhere is fine.

Just, not jungle.

When you play a sub-position other than your main position, you get a strange sense of psychological stability.

It's okay to lose this game.

You don't have to carry this game.

It's okay to be a little bad in this game.

In such thoughts, relaxation comes, and you tend to play more smoothly than usual.

[Victory]

Perhaps thanks to the position change, I achieved victory again with a somewhat more comfortable state of mind than before.

Of course, the process wasn't completely smooth.

In the middle, not just one, but as many as two or more people didn't play or threw the game several times, but still, I kept winning.

[Level 29]

As I kept winning, winning, and winning again, my level was approaching level 30.

If I wait a little longer, I'll be at the level where I can play the highly anticipated ranked games.

‘It's not long now.’

Once I reach level 30, it's goodbye to these annoying jjo-mal games.

‘Does the normal game MMR affect the first placement game? I think I heard that….’

If that's the case, considering my current record, I might be able to raise my tier faster than I thought.

‘And then quickly hit Challenger, and quickly receive a scouting offer to debut as a pro.’

It was a roughly made plan, but I was confident enough.

I've already reached the top once as Prisoner.

Everything will go well if I can overcome this hurdle.

At least, I thought so.

[Game found!]

[Accept / Decline]

“Accepted.”

[NoonaHeungng : ㅇㄷㅇㄷ]

[Good at Games4148 : I'll go wherever is left except jungle]

After waiting a little, the teammates started to mention their lanes, one by one.

[IlIIIIIllIlIll : I'll go jungle]

[Nyamijangin Oda Hye : Support]

‘Let's see… If it's like this, what's left is top and mid.’

Since it doesn't matter where I go, I asked my teammate for their opinion.

[Good at Games4148 : 2nd pick, where are you going?]

However…….

Even after a long time, no answer came.

‘Is he afk?’

As I was feeling a little doubtful, I noticed that the 2nd pick's ID was strangely familiar.

qq7785dd55.

After searching the record, I was able to remember where I saw that ID.

[qq7785dd55]

Rank 506th

Solo Rank

- Grandmaster

- 626 LP / 89 wins 16 losses

- Win rate 85%

‘GRS Nightmare, Lee Zixuan.’

In fact, it wasn't that rare for me to meet Nightmare.

In reality, when I was playing as Prisoner, I often met Nightmare as a teammate or enemy.

But even so, to meet Nightmare in a sub-account jjo-mal game?

There was no such coincidence.

‘Should I dodge?’

But then I shook my head.

‘…No, it’s a waste of time. I’m almost level 30.’

If my current position was jungle, I would have seriously considered dodging, but my current position isn't jungle.

Even if it's Nightmare, a member of GRS, the team that was eager to recruit Prisoner, it wouldn't be easy to connect me with Prisoner right now.

[Good at Games4148 : I'll go mid]

Knowing that the opponent wouldn't be able to understand Korean, I still picked Raize.

Raize is one of the champions I've been using recently, and I've been having quite a lot of fun.

‘And, it's a champion that doesn't overlap with jungle champions either.’

There is almost no chance of revealing the habits of Prisoner that might have been left inadvertently.

After I picked Raize, Nightmare also picked Kamal, as if he knew his lane was top.

[NoonaHeungng : ? Wow, what's the win rate of the 3rd pick? And the 2nd pick is Grandmaster ㄷㄷ]

[IlIIIIIllIlIll : Really?]

[NoonaHeungng : Yes]

[IlIIIIIllIlIll : Wow, what is this, it's real ㅁㅊ]

[IlIIIIIllIlIll : It’s an honor]

Various chats went by.

It was a natural phenomenon if you consider that a Grandmaster or a sub-account with a 100% win rate is hard to come by in normal games.

As the game started,

Looking at the nicknames that appeared on the loading screen, I couldn't hide my astonishment.
