Riot please fix targeted bans

Tenarin··1 votes·658 views

Everyone knows of this problem, yet i'm sure 20+ people will argue with me for w/e reason. When you get a remake Riot's god awful matchmaking system (which already has a million flaws to begin with but we won't get into that because it's obviously too confusing for most people who play this game) anyway you get a remake, and matchmaking it's constant attempt to rig games all to high hell to make them one-sided asf puts you in with the same people, people then target-ban. I had a team of one-tricks who got their picks, one DC'd from the start, and we had to remake. Then next game sure enough, the bans were all those champs they picked the first time around. How is this fair? Sure they shouldn't be one-tricks or w/e, but still there's a reason we can't see each other's names in lobby, so you can't really argue with the fact that we shouldn't be put with the same people after a remake. I know matchmaking struggles to find the 4 worst damn people on server to give me...I get it...you wanna make sure you give me the worst pile of shit you can...I understand. Been dealing with it for years, but I feel like this is something that has been broken since very early in the game, like season 1-3-ish. It's like Riot just keeps trying to fix all these things in the game, but they never touch matchmaking issues. I feel like someone just destroyed matchmaking and made it the worst system in the world, then they just clocked out and never went back to work. Season 4 or 5 it just got ridiculous. Just the other day (and this has happened MANY times) I got the 3 worst people I have seen on the game in a LONG time. Then I got them again. Then I got them again. They dropped collectively like 3 wards between the 3 of them over a span of 3 games. They died probably 100 times in 3 games. It's bad enough you put them on my team once, but getting them 3 times in a row in a game with millions of active players...that's called broken matchmaking. It's degrading. It's borderline cyber bullying. "oh you think you're a badass carrying 3 games in a row? Here lets knock you down off that pedestal by giving you the 3 worst players in the history of league 3 times in a row, that'll kill your spirit. Bitch.". This is how I imagine Riot's mindset when it comes to matchmaking. I honestly feel like I get punished for playing well, and rewarded for playing badly. If I go in a game and just goof around on a new champ and play awful, I get good teams for the next couple of games. If I go in and try hard and do my best and really put everything in, they give me people who no one below challenger could carry, especially playing jg (kinda hard when 6 turrets go down before 10 minutes...I mean honestly wtf is that? How can anyone praise this matchmaking when there are games where 6 turrets go down on one side before 10 minutes...that's fail asf). Legit worst matchmaking I have ever seen in any game EVER...but with all that aside they could at least fix the DEAD OBVIOUS shit like post-remake targeted bans, or any variation of getting the same people over and over again in a game with millions of active players. I'm sure all the non-programmers will cry and try to blame me for this, all the people who think Riot could do no harm etc. and those who actually program and know how these algo's work, and just have a general understanding of game-development will have seen what I am talking about. I first noticed all of this like 7 years ago, so i'm sure the intellectual people who play League (3% or less i'm sure) will understand everything I just said, while the sheep will give me the same reply as they give everyone who complains about this god awful matchmaking.

Please structure your OP a little bit - it's hard to read such a massive wall of text.

Hard to read a wall of text, pls structure is better.

Also, I looked at your match history for this account, none of what you said adds up.

  1. You got one-tricks on your team that was a remake. The next game all those champions got banned, but the thing is not a single player was the same between the two matches.(I assume you mean the volibear games back to back since one was a remake)

  2. I looked several days back and didn't find anything close to getting the same 3 people 3 games in a row. Your account is in silver, do to the amount of people in it it's less than 0.1% to see the same person 2 games in a row let alone 3 games.(Provide proof for this)

I could type literally anything and you would be in here trying to call me out on it. I have more than one account first of all. 2nd, I got them 2 games, then dodged the 3rd, but in my ranting I was referring to COUNTLESS TIMES OVER THE YEARS that this has happened. I can't prove them they are from previous seasons. On this new account it happened just the day I typed this or the day before.

By the way, that was just me ranting and complaining about obvious shit. If you challenge that then you're just clueless or you don't play a lot...you might just not understand programming (idk you so idk) as I meet a lot of people who don't know how games are made and think they are these magical things that just exist and they do everything perfectly and we are not supposed to question them...like some sort of deity or something. Anyway when I typed this up I was tilted asf, my main point was when you q up, and someone dodges, if you don't cancel out and you click accept you often get put into lobby with the some or all of the same people. This often leads to targeted bans...ie. they see a trist and an ahri, someone dodges, then they ban trist and ahri next...that's how often it happens.

I think it's funny that everyone in my lobby's seem to know it happens...everyone on streams knows it happens, but you're going to sit here and act like i'm making shit up. It's ok I knew someone would.

I believe it was a normal game that I go the same people 3 times and I think I dodged one and just got off because they were so ridiculously bad I actually think they might have been the same person playing on 3 accounts at the same time or something. I'M NOT SURE SO DON'T CALL ME OUT ON IT js they were very strange acting. Only one would talk one game, and another one would talk the next game and was talking very similarly to the other one, while the 3rd never said a word except something toxic in all caps if I recall correctly. The 3rd one also didn't go in on my ganks which made me feel like he had no awareness whatsoever, like a bot or someone playing multiple accounts.

Anyway none of this is relevant i'm rambling again. Okay I found it finally: https://i.imgur.com/tI9jirM.png

Basically the first game I was solo q. Then me and crysomemorethx were talking about how odd those 3 were acting (never met any of these people til the first game) so me and him q'd up for a game because we both liked each others plays, and even with the 3 feeders we got some nice kills in. So we got those 3 again. So first game i was solo q, then 2nd one I was duo q with this crysomemorethx guy I met in the first one and he added me as friend. So same thing...questionable behavior, and we tried our best and got stomped eventually (2v8 pretty much). Then we q'd up again and dodged cuz same 3 again. I cannot prove that part sorry.

This shit happens all the time though. Since I started back in season 2 or 3. It probably happened to you several times, you just don't pay attention to names as much. I'm always looking people up on op.gg so I pay a lot of attention to names and ranks etc. So yeah there's your proof, or as much as I can provide, but this post was meant to be about the obvious flaw after a dodge. I remember back when I was grinding a lot of ranked games, one of my rules that I had written down was to always leave q after a dodge, because that next accept screen would always put me in with the same people and my champ would get banned almost every damn time.

I look forward to your next attempt to call me out and try to say i'm making shit up or w/e. Cuz you know I just sit around randomly posting about stuff that didn't really happen...for no reason...or i'm delusional...w/e you're trying to say here.

Well it's because people do it all the time on here so it's hard to actually find anything that can be valid since 95% these people never post any proof cause you know, it's the internet and people can say whatever they want. However, you actually took the time to provide the proof.

If you can't view that imgur thing for any reason, it was 2 days ago (as of right now) on op.gg and it was a yi game then a vi game, both losses.

Oh and I can't really prove the part about targeted bans unless I record a video of it happening or something, but like I said it happens all the damn time so idk how you play this game and haven't witnessed it unless you just don't play draft. Just start looking at the names, and next time someone dodges you'll see the same people in there. Also look at champs...you'll see like teemo, ahri, draven and then someone dodges and you click accept and the bans will be teemo ahri draven lmao plain as day man. It'll be like champs that people never ban too like it's so obvious.
