Serious machmaking issues

Ok first I don't exactly know how you MMR system works, but it doesn't work fine at all.

https://imgur.com/VGdLgv9 According to op.gg, our MMR is about 100 higher than theirs. Can you see the problem here ? It doesn't reflect the player's level. You can't put people who just hit level 30 against people who play for 3 seasons.

https://imgur.com/A8VYlnN Look at the Annie's build. He was premade with the Ezreal which is not so bad but he didn't tell his friend to take a gold income item surprisingly.

Now let's talk about Zed. He is sticking at gold 5 somehow, losing every game (17% winrate out of 24 games). The bullshit level is so high this is why I post this in the bug section. Obviously gold 5 is not his level and I don't even know how he got placed there.

**You ranking system is totally broken and I think that you know how frustrating it can be. You can't just keep it as it is. **

Here is your task list : 1 - Remove the downgrade protection at diam 5, plat 5, gold 5, silver 5. 2 - The placement matches should be like this : you start at the lowest level, and for each win it goes A LITTLE higher, and for each loss it goes a little down. Don't throw newbies into gold games if they can't win at a silver level before (obviously Annie is worth bronze 5 right now). 3 - You should lose half LP when losing a game because of an afk you are not premade with. And people who are not in combat for more than 3 minutes should be considered afk (I'm talking about those staying at the spawn) 4 - LP gain and loss should be altered by your contribution to the game. Depending on the position and champion it can be vision score, damage dealt, cc score if it exists, kill and objectives participation, number of deaths... 5 - Remove mmr because it's useless if people are at the rank they deserve, and this point is the one you shoud worry about. The level is WAY too heterogeneous between people of the same rank.

We're hitting season 8 now it's about time there is a fair ranking system.

And don't tell me "It happens. This time you got unlucky but another time bad players will be in the other team." INDEED, but that doesn't mean that it's ok. 90% of the games are a stomp. I think that what people are looking for is balanced games. I'm not happy when I win a game because one of the opponents has a very poor level or decided to int, or went afk...

Also don't tell me that this is because the season is just starting, because it was the same at every point of every season I played. More people are playing their placement now but that's a detail in the whole problem.

Now what are your excuses ? I'm seriously thinking that you are having game designer issues at Riot Games.

mmr looks only at win rate. Riot has stated this in many occasions. Without mmr, you would see alot more diamond smurfs in bronze-gold games cause they wouldn't be able to get + 35 LP on wins or because they wouldn't be able to skip divisions. Honestly, LP doesn't even matter, mmr reflects player skill way better than the LP system ever did.
