Insane LoL Ranked bug just dropped (Feat. why every random scrub is Master tier now)

Summary

  1. To play Ranked, you normally need to hit level 30 and play 10 Normal games (excluding level 30 super accounts).

  2. Some suspicious accounts were found jumping straight into Ranked after only leveling up through Co-op vs. AI (bot games).

  3. Usually, fresh accounts play Normals first, get placed in Gold~Plat lobbies, and end up around Gold after placements.

  4. These bugged accounts skip Normals and go straight to Ranked, starting in Diamond~Master lobbies. After placements, they land in Emerald 1~Diamond with +30 -10 LP gains.

  5. Turns out, the whistleblower admitted all those accounts were theirs and asked for this to be exposed on YouTube.

  6. The trick is using Quickplay, which doesn't show up on match history sites (impossible to track).

  7. After testing with 8 accounts, the whistleblower found that playing even one Normal game locks your MMR to Gold, making it a regular fresh account.

  8. But Quickplay has no such lock (allowing for the old-school fresh account MMR abuse).

  9. If you win-streak in Quickplay like the old MMR abuse days and get matched with even one Master player on either team, you place Emerald 1 (Plat 1 if no Masters).

  10. You might ask, "What if I never meet a Master player?" Well, you just force one onto your team (via duoing, etc.).

  11. Since it's +30 -10 all the way to Master 200LP, you can hit Master 200LP even with a 40% win rate on Yuumi. At 600LP, it becomes +26 -13.

  12. As of the 10th, the whistleblower says they personally know of 30~40 such accounts lol
