Matchmaking system

As usual, I had a long 10-15 game losing streak that no matter what I did, there was no way to win a game with a team of people who refuse to help their allies and love to feed.

Right now I'm on a 7 game winning streak that I actually feel like I'm cheating because the games are so easy. The enemy players have no idea what they are doing and I am actually getting bored.

The better I do, the worse allies and the better enemies the matchmaking system gives me, and vice versa. The worse I do, the easier the games get. These streaks, whether winning or losing, are forced by the matchmaking system to make sure I always have roughly a 50% win rate.

The matchmaking system needs to make either balanced or random teams and stop stacking one side or the other to force the outcome. As I do better, ALL of the players, allies, and enemies, should get better in skill, not just one side or the other. The matchmaking system needs to stop fixing the outcome of the match.

Riot has mentioned matchmaking so rarely, you could be forgiven for thinking it doesn't exist. I can only imagine they do this because they either 1) think it's not that big a deal or 2) have no idea how to fix it. Frankly, I'm not sure which is the more distressing coming from Riot, ignorance or incompetence, especially when it's something as game defining as matchmaking.

Yeah I am currently on a 2-w 1-remake 7-loss streak. My previous 20 games I was 12 wins 8 Losses. I don't get it but this week my team mates are just horrible, like 8 deaths in the first 5 minutes. And generally I am doing pretty well in almost all the games.

real story, check my op.gg if you dont believe me, somehow the enemy bot lane is plat4 and my bot lane is gold4, and even after we got a successful invade(yes, i the top laner was involved in the invade), they still manaage to lose lane and feed with a massive lead.

alot of people have complained about the matching making system, but riot dosent seem to care, oh well, riot's game, riot's rules, guess we have to suck it.
