Algorithm Problem (Pairing Players)

Elderly Woman··1 votes·1,118 views

I am not a great support, but I am also not terrible either. A support is only as good as their adc, so if the adc starts inting and my score drops to 0/9. Why do "stat noobs" throw stats at me? Are these ppl fk retarded? If you watch the game, I am hugging the turret waiting for my adc to return; only to watch them die again; only to hug the turret tighter until ganked and defeated. I do not know what else to do, but for some UNGODLY reason... (and keep in mind, I am level 180+), LOL keeps pairing me with players around the level 40-60 range. Do I look like I need to be paired with a feeding int queen? Sometimes I'll play jg, top, mid, or adc and destroy the enemy team, but I want to be a sup main. And this seems to be the only position where I depend on being paired with people of my skill set. Why does LOL not have an algorithm to say... hey wait a min, this guy has played 1200 games... maybe we shouldn't pair him with a fg retard. Also, where is the report button for LOL? I can report players, but I want to report Riot sometimes. Why can't Riot be accountable for their silly algorithms?

  1. number of games played / level doesn't determine how good you are at the game.

  2. the algorithm doesn't match you depending on your score. but rather about how much you win vs how much you lsoe.

  3. that's a part of the support role. if u don't like it. either find a premade or switch to another role

I just think that the number of games played should be a small fraction of the algorithm; not just how you perform.

If you are talking about levels not ranks its clear you are playing normal games. Some people might just be trying out adc, others just trying to unwind and not try that much. That is what a casual non ranked gamemode is all about. If you are up and in a doozy over a normals i can imagine what happens when you play ranked. Edit- Oh wait you are playing ranked. And it is bronze, everyone is bad. That is just how the game is.

This is the answer I was afraid of. Bronze is the wildcard rank. Smurfs, noobs, super smurfs, super noobs, and then actual Bronze players looking for other actual Bronze players to learn from to improve.
