State of the Game – I prefer Low-Prio to Normal Play

I know this is going to sound wild- but let me explain. I hover between 3.5k and 3k mmr at any given point. I play with a lot of friends that are legend 5 ancient 1- etc. Those games are usually fun, but in my normal solo play ranked and unranked I run into griefers, and toxic players that just completely give up after something inconvenient happens. So a few weeks ago I rage quit out of a game after our mid decided to just shadow amulet inside some trees.

I got 5 games of low prio. I found that the single draft game mode + having to win to get out of low prio and the huge swings that happen in these games makes them way more fun than normal play.

And i find myself now once every so often in a toxic ass game, just abandoning to save the rest of my team the pain, putting myself on low prio- and enjoying the climb out way more than any other game type…

​

Kinda sad, but its the truth.

​

edit. Whats also weird, is the amount of people that just straight give up/abandon/shadow amulet in the trees- is less in Low Prio, i can't explain it but it has to do with having to win to get out. People can still be toxic as hell, but it usually doesnt bother me or i mute them, but at least they'll keep playing to win.

​

tl;dr I prefer low-prio to any game type
