Faker talked about his views on ranked.
“If I wasn’t a pro gamer, I wouldn’t play soloq because it’s not fun. 9 out of 10 games of luck are better than gambling. In those cases, I don’t see any benefit from ranked.” – Faker shared about the problem of ranking.

But either way, it’s very negative in Korean Challenger rank.
For fans who have followed Faker since the early days when the Devil King played in the LCK, they will all understand that he is not joking. Because in the early days of playing League of Legends, Faker didn’t play rank but only played normally, until his hidden elo was too high and couldn’t find a match did Faker switch to rank.
After Faker’s statement was shared on the international League of Legends forum, many people thought that Riot Korea would still “be quiet” and take no action to correct the bad situation in Korean rank.
