[mago]

having good games and able to jukes most of the attacks also ganks
in normal games

played 1/2 games in normal to check for lags then after one game in ranked it all changed
champs appearing from no where already shooting, hooking me up, no pre-animation.
im taking boots first item to avoid attacks cos nasus main and
the enemy moves faster then me

Same with Valorant. Unrated games are very different from ranked games. Rankeds feels unsmooth, choppy, hitreg, desync problems.

for me no diff normal or ranked i have huge fps drops with mid end pc.. i do some trick: at the start of the every game in video settings change to windowed, click ok and then change back to your preferred setting fullscreen, bordeless or windowed.

time of day has massive impact on league feel, due to internet usage & noise + dynamic signal/noise compensation akon ur local ISP gateway (people use DSL/internet for netflix and television) so dont play from 19:00 to 23:00
also internet quality scales in being worse and worse the more actions per minute your enemies do, in normals people mostly relax in ranked people tryhard more and theres more going on (worse jitter) to the point that in ranked + high elo you will feel like u never can catch up, even if you have 3 0 over enemy laner it will feel like he is ahead simply from network signal compensation algorithms(even if ping indicator ingame is always showing same number its not anywhere near to being same), also ranked and normals have different servers(routing)

I actually agree with this. I've been trying to understand the netcode, but the fact that unrated games feel better as well as playing on a smurf on lower ranks gives me a vibe it has to do with server performance. Perhaps they can't handle 10 players sending 128 ticks to the server all at once. On lower ranks and unrated, you'll more likely to have people with worse computers and the server will extrapolate the blanks, making enemy movement look smoother. In beta the packet send rate was 73 packets per second IIRC and could be the reason why at some point after they increased it, players started noticing the inconsistent gameplay, ferrari peeks, hit reg problems, etc.
