Faker expresses extreme frustration when encountering 'actors' in the ranking.
The term 'actors' is likely not unfamiliar to the League of Legends community. These 'actors' enter the rank with a sole purpose: to 'help' the opposing team win. The motive is often because the other team has their main account or is part of their 'network.' Playing the game deceitfully is also known as elo boosting and can have a negative impact on the gaming experience of others. Given that League of Legends is a 5-player game, at higher ranks, it's challenging to have a 1v5 situation because the players' skills are almost evenly matched.
Recently, Faker also spoke out against the 'actors' in the ranking system. According to T1's Midlaner, this is the best time to climb the ranks and also the time when many 'actors' appear. At this time, most pro players are temporarily halting their rank climb to focus on MSI or take a break. However, Riot's penalties are not severe enough. If they withdraw, they only lose 5 points, a number Faker considers too low.
Faker adds: 'League of Legends is great but needs effective management to operate in the long run. Otherwise, it could end. Look at famous games. Essentially, they don't end because the game is boring but because lax management allows disruptors to thrive.' Faker also believes that at the current moment, many high-ranked players are losing interest in playing the game: 'They don't feel the meaning anymore. And as pro players gradually withdraw, the game will progressively decline.'
Faker discusses the issue of 'actors' in the ranking and believes that without strong intervention from Riot, League of Legends could entirely come to an end
The issue of 'actors' in the ranking system has been a continuous complaint from players like Uzi and Doinb. Particularly in certain ranking environments like LPL, this problem is on the rise, leading both gamers and professional players to consider 'emigrating' to the Korean server to avoid these 'actors' and the 'Chinese pyrotechnicians.' As Faker rightly points out, without decisive action from Riot, League of Legends could be in danger as the 'actor' problem continues to escalate over time.
