Losing Streak with redemption

DivinePioneer·Jan 31, 2017·2 votes·527 views

I think if someone is teamed with bad players who don't know how to play their roles for the past five games and lose, there should be a redemption game that puts you with higher mmr so that it can test your skills again. I been playing ranked games and always find myself teamed with feeders and trolls. It has not been an enjoyable game since this mmr system has been put in. Their should be a system that pairs you with other of the same mmr and rank division as you are. This should be an enjoyable game but since I only solo, there is no chance for me to climb.

So here's the obvious question; how do you design a system to judge whether people understand their roles, and what metrics do you use to judge them? There are a lot of variables to take into account here, as things like CS/time and K/D/A are too often considered in a vacuum, ignoring things like map positioning/pressure, ganks, playstyles, and even ping.

Personally I think you should take another look at the people you're being matched with. If you find yourself constantly being matched with feeders and trolls perhaps your own metrics for judging people are the problem.

Pretty much half your games you have a negative KDA and a shit load of deaths, what makes you think you belong at a higher MMR? If you aren't stomping on your current lane opponents and having significant positive impact on most games, there is no reason you should be climbing at all.
