Attempting playing RIOT in weekend is tiresome (in weekdays it's impossible). People wait for one hour for anyone to come and currently gamemode is visited by max. 5-6 at the time. This weekend even running game is impossible and we talk about Citadel.
I think players to start cap should be lowered to 4 players just like FC. Fuck any issues correlated to it, you just seriously overestimated how popular it gonna be LO.
And no. New levels don't help.
