For season 9 we removed items , as they provide an unfair advantage where better players that knows what to build are matched with players that might not know what to build and has jumped right into ranked . For season 10 we have just sold League of Legends to blizzard and now you ' l all be playing HoTS . <| sep |> Well . The reason I don ' t really believe it is because it doesn ' t really make sense . The community banded together with enough momentum to say that something feels off , it feels impossible to get a 5 th . Blizzards explanation has a bit of an unanswered question . If getting your 5 th is just as rare as getting a legendary super early in the expansion minimal BLP if any then why do we see ample examples of people getting back to back legendaries and not one person getting lucky for their 5 th while doing 1000 x as many opportunities . You have to realize that the people throttled at 4 started complaint because they did over 1000 m with already having four . Something simply doesn ' t add up there
