clearly there is a bug here. this isnt just a trend it has happened over and over and over for me. i win 4 /5 one night... lose 4/5 the next... win 4/5 next... this is annouying... clearly there is a bug here... either a mmr problem or this system is broke asf
I do have to agree with this, i cannot tell you how many times i go on a winning streak into a losing one. Now i understand inconsistency, but this is not it. I am talking about getting grouped with other people who are on a losing streak as well, (i checked) which in turn is getting me put with people who are tilted, not playing champs they normally do, and not caring about winning the game cause they are in turn on losing streaks. Now it is not like i get this randomly, it happens after i go on a win streak then the next day even if i play well, my team play horribly or afks, or w/e
thats my story ever since my main got banned. When i'm not tryharding ( aka play jungle ONLY or dodge ) i like playing various roles the thing is half the week i simply stomp every game the other half i cant win a single game and i know it's not my performance cause ever since i stopped tilting like a bitch my performance is constantly stable its just matchmaking is cancer i can be diamond 3 for 5 days then imma drop to 5 then climb again then drop again i havent had a winsteak above 10 in diamond + elo since may and its frustrating tbh like i know as soon as i win 6 in a row i'm guarenteed to lose th next one.
This is actually true though. When you're on a winning streak,you don't get paired with 9 similar skilled players. You get 5 similar skilled players on the other team, and 4 people who are low skilled and usually have 1 trolling and the games like "carry this or lose"
Athene mentioned this long ago and why it should be okay to queue dodge. You get a few wins and then boom! You get matched with people who don't even try to win. It's like Riot throws idiots at me that I have repeatedly punch in them face metaphorically and tell them "You are going to win this game and you are going to like it." It sucks my duo and I have to pry loses from their grubby little hands.
Yeah, Riot's matchmaking algorithm is jacked, as many have observed. It's rather unfortunate. One thing I do is stop playing if it starts to put me on a loss streak, because good chance it will just give me jacked teams over and over and over, 10 or 20 times in a row, so I stop playing that mode for at least several hours in those cases. In those games it is not tilting that is making me lose, just to be clear, it is getting totally jacked teams that are practically impossible to win with over and over again (ex: Heimerdinger on my team who builds five Warmog's Armors for no apparent reason, Ashe on my team who does less than 10,000 damage to champions after a 40 minute ARAM game, Soraka that doesn't heal and says to their premade friends that Soraka is actually one of the best ADC in the game if you build her right, etc; and not one but at least 2-3 teammates like that in each game), and matched every time against teams where 4 or 5 of the players on the other team all have their shit together.
Since I started to stop playing a given game mode after a couple losses in which I was matched with poor teams, I haven't gotten into any more streaks that put me with teams like that over and over again. Touch wood. Generally, I come back and get matched with "average" sort of teams again.
I think the fact so many LoL players talk about tilting and needing to stop after a bad loss or two indicates that there is something broken in the matchmaking, because that is not normal. In chess, for example, or basketball, you do not suddenly become shite because you have lost a couple games, pretty much you continue to be able to perform at the same level, or very close to it, as normal. It's only in League of Legends where people feel like a loss streak of one or two games becomes self-perpetuating.
All this means is that you are a very inconsistent player, but that shouldn't get you down because it's something you can improve on.
