We need real matchmaking

True randomness within a parameter match making would be more healthy for this game than the current algorithm. At least with random matching within your bracket would remove the bullshit of team being intentionally formed to win/lose in lobby by the system. People who deserve to climb would climb and people who deserve to fall should fall. A team should't be formed because one single person has a 52% win rate, then everyone else on the team must be under 50% winrate to make sure it balance out to 50%. We don't want to spend 300 games grinding it out to get where we truly belong. We want to get there asap and when we do, we want a fair match. Not a lopsided one from the get-go.

Agree 100%. I'd rather have no system at all than what I see with this algorithm nonsense. This "win lane, lose game" curse can be attributed to poor team fights or not roaming smartly, but its really just the matchmaking trying to keep players in ranks they don't belong

Real random teams would mean that games will be fair, luck can only do so much in making it lopsided. This crap guarantees anyone doing bad will get carried by their team and anyone doing good will be forced to carry bad players relative to their own league. Sure, eventually any one doing bad would drop division, but not after being soft cuddled by the system trying to make said bad players get as close as possible to 50% win rate.

It's so stupid in normals too in one of my recent games, I have 2 new players on my team going bot together and suprise suprise, they lose Lane, the new player on the team ALWAYS loses Lane since they're going against people with superior csing and game knowledge. But it's okay because it balances out, lol what. Doing this for lower the wait time to get into matches is so stupid. Draven OTP Vs first time adc player, what. In ranked I'd assume it would be worse since it'd be very good players placed with bad ones and being forced to somehow carry.
