Faker and his opinion on the SoloQ problem in 2023

Although we are only a few days into Season 13, the midlaner is clear that there are things to fix.

The T1 star is a soloQ lover and has often criticized what happens in this game mode. However, he has also spoken out this season despite being only a few days old.

Faker is tired of the state of SoloQ at the start of Season 13

Some opinions are essential and are always considered, especially if they are said by someone of the caliber of Lee Sang-hyeok “Faker.” Nothing more and nothing less, we are talking about the best player in the history of League of Legends. Whatever opinion the Korean midlaner says always ends up going around the world. Everyone listens to what Faker says, regardless of the rest’s opinion.

With League of Legends Season 13 underway, it’s time to comment on early impressions of what Riot Games offers.

For Faker, it is not the season’s dream start, and he has let the rest of the community know it. In one of his streamings, he harshly criticized the state of SoloQ and believed that changes should be implemented sooner rather than later.

Problems in SoloQ

What the Korean star is clear about is that there is a severe problem when it comes to durability and MMR. After a series of defeats in SoloQ, Faker has decided to give his opinion about it

• He believes there is a severe problem with the MMR system, which is not working well. There are wrong pairings, and no correct lobbies are coming out. Thus, we find players of much lower ranks who should not be in games of a particular elo.
• In addition, he believes that snowballing is a severe problem in early games. This is crucial when it comes to winning or losing; when a team loses the first few minutes, it is complicated to recover in soloQ, even with the rewards for objectives.
• He has also commented that turret gold and durability are wrong, at least in soloQ.
• He thinks soloQ is no fun, Faker, commenting on live:

“Other seasons have started much better.”

• He is also blunt: even if you make a mistake in a late game, losing a game you have on track is hard.
• In his opinion, the gold of the towers polarizes the game a lot because the first ones who win the gold have it made.

Faker has been competing in League of Legends for years, and SoloQ is new to him. Therefore, seeing him share this comment makes us wonder if Riot Games should change something in their qualifiers before it’s too late. However, season 13 has just started, so there is still time to fix any bugs in the game.
