I can't even.
Doing good? Great, instead of putting you against slightly higher mmr players, lets keep it the same, but lower the mmr of your teammates.
Whyyyyyyy
Myrmiron23 votesI dunno why but this censoring of Ekko made me laugh so hard, lol.
Also, as I recently read: "You just need to win faster than your teammates can lose".
Velzard of Koz2 votesI am more impressed by the fact he was censoring all the names in his friendslist, instead o just... cutting the friendlist out of the picture. It's even on the right so it would be one drag and drop in MS Paint.
Myrmiron6 votesMaybe he just likes white rectangles?
AdeBug6 votesthis who doesn't, i mean they're white. and have such straight corners
edit: i just realized i made a racist and homophobic joke and i apologize, if this was 20 years ago it would've been k and funny :(
Velzard of Koz2 votesThe Trigger. It's over 9000!!!
IcyPepper3 votesNo, it's definitely k and funny!
Remember, even liberals know how to take a joke once in a blue moon!

Sorry about that, what's MS Paint? I used white-out on the computer screen, took a picture of it with a disposable kodak camera, had it developed at walmart, then mailed it via carrier pigeon to Riot and asked them to add the picture to this post.
Velzard of Koz2 votesYou used camera and didn't paint in on canvas? You are very progressive, aren't you...
AdeBug1 votesthis is still a thing: screenshot, paste in MS Paint, edit, save and insert it in MS Word, save and email or print.
FortisDominus4 votesLOL you put a line through ekkos eyes xD
Moetaro3 votesHe might be ekko, or not. You cant be sure :P
ForFoxSakes4 votesYep, go on a winning streak (which you need to get promoted) then after promotion you'll have to carry boosted mouth breathers
Trying to match MMR with W:L ratio as another variable is what totally fucks it up.
Just go straight off MMR! No one should give a shit about ratio since it'll sort itself out. Go on a huge winning streak and you'll start facing better and better people as you should, and you'll slow in wins once you get to your natural skill level plateau
Let those who keep losing drop faster and get to their natural plateau to where they face bad enough people to get a win. Absolutely zero need to try to stop the bleeding by throwing in a better person to try to carry them
Moetaro1 votesIf they go only on mmr, you wouldnt have to grind in order to get your elo, and they would lose money. So you better get used to that shit, because it will stay forever.
ForFoxSakes2 votesHow would they lose money? Ppl will still play and also get better games when you're at people at the appropriate skill level rather than forced to 50% "just because".
You'll still be slowed from rising too fast still from the promo series which dont count for shit
Leonerdo1 votesWhere are you getting the idea that W:L ratio matters in matchmaking?
MysterQ3 votesTo be fair, your team scoreline wasn't great but it looks like they all tried. Everyone got real items and everything. Idk what tier but just seems like they played meta without knowing it well or idk.
blueberrypancake1 votesAnswer: MMR
For example if I have 1500 mmr, i should be playing around other 1500 mmr players rather than other gold 5s
Even if that means I get a boosted person on my team, and they are in the process of dropping
MysterQ2 votesExcept, everyone always says You (1600) + 4x (1475) = 1500 vs 5x 1500. That is a bad example. But the general belief is you will be paired with people of lower MMR on your team to account for your inflated MMR. And in theory the team MMRs should be similar which works, but really it doesn't when we somehow always have 5 losing lanes (granted 1 lane losing can cause others to lose).
IT just doesn't make sense to me. If he is gold 4, let him play gold 4s until he drops off. He should start playing with the newest/worst gold 4s, but if he can't keep up with them he should drop. Likewise if he is beating bronzes he shouldn't stay in gold for that. If my MMR is good enough to be vs a higher tier opponent (by over 5 tiers) then why is that the barrier stopping me from progressing even one tier. You can say the other guy is dropping, but now he isn't dropping because he just beat me.
LegendmakerGX3 votesAlso to answer why your team is lower MMR then you who is higher is because Duo, That is how riot trash system balance the match making.
If the enemy has a duo or your team has a duo which is pretend a gold 5 and a platinum 5 on your side then to balance that out you will be put in with your high MMR to carry the sht gold while enemy gets gold 2-1 tier and platinum.
Karn Bishop1 votesIt does not matter, even solo the system would rather lower the MMR of your team rather then raising the enemys MMR because it is is easier for match making to fill your team with trash then it is for it to find skilled teammates and even more skilled enemies.
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesTrue but duos still have a heavy influence on this system. Especially since riot fooled and tricked us all by allowing two duos per side which did not exist in the old soloQ. You can be unlucky and get into a game where you have a gold 5 and a plat 1 premades in a mid-high plat game which is the skill difference between low dia and high master and lose because said gold 5 player gets completely trashed in the jungle or solo lane he ofc has to play because only his teammates are holding him back. OR you get into the trash team against this premade and how it happens so often you lose because your team just int feeds to a point you can't carry and your MMR gets absolutely shit on because you lose against a team you are supposed (according to the system) to carry hard.
Dessem3 votesWin three games in a row for Normals, MM gives me two Silvers, a Gold and a Plat so we can play agaimst the Diamond 5-man premade.
Thanks MM, you da best!
Khadaver2 votesWorst part is that i'm bronze and i get matches like that
Dessem1 votesI'm Gold, so I don't have any business in those matches either.
I think I've only won once against a 5-man premade, and I always play solo. It's the worst feeling in the world to face a 5-man premade, but it happens every other night.
Skorch1 votesI was very confused as to why you were dragging that morde main into it. Like "I thought MM, Tides and them were Silver." Then realized you meant Matchmaking
Papa Andrei2 votesSomething odd. When I play with and around Diamonds/Golds I can carry/feel impactful. Play with Silver/Bronze, I just feel like I have no control over what happens
dominusx1 votesthat's why the best way to carry so trash elo is to go top/mid and afk push the lane killing everyone that comes.
Velzard of Koz1 votesWell even If you're 4/0 with decent farm you will still struggle against fed enemy botlaner with their Support (who in this elo can even be 6/0 Zilean, something died a little in me the moment I saw it) coming, leaving you with no other choice but leave. And you cannot push your lane in case you are constantly 1v3 because there is absolutely no pressure bot and/or top and one of laners of said lanes is nearly constantly dead.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesSomething odd. When I play with and around Diamonds/Golds I can carry/feel impactful. Play with Silver/Bronze, I just feel like I have no control over what happens
hell no. in plat I went 2+ with 80% kill part and stupid damage chart. no deaths. my adc does 6k damage in a 35 minute game. goes 2/13. support fors 1/12. mid goes 2/9 and usually one of my team mates actually does okay. but good luck with the 2v8/ 1v9. thats mainly why I quit league. fuck 1v9s.
woodvsmurph2 votesDon't forget that you get harassed any time you don't follow the #1 build for a champ off some website. That any solid advice you give is ignored. That asking people to ward or play safe is a "toxic" and reportable offense. That you are a noob for failing to 1v4 stop a game-winning push at your nexus or inhib towers, but your teammates are good players when they 3v5 die forcing a fight vs 5 fed enemies when they are behind; they simply lost because you were an idiot who wanted to base, heal and defend instead of fight at 15% hp.
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesThe worst part is your teammates do this even when you solo carry the shit out of them. On my smurf i had this game yesterday as jayce: 66% KP, 17/4/8, 290 CS in 31 min. Our team took 5 towers in the whole game. 4 got destroyed by myself. I just ran it down top and roamed. Then there was our 4/9 vayne with 9k dmg in the game--->comparison: enemy thresh dealt 8.8k dmg. She would just constantly spam surrender off CD and cry and flame how bad i and the team are and how i don't understand the game hurr durr. My build is shit, i NEED to group and fight even though there was just no reason since they could hardly 1v2 me so why risk a teamfight? But oh well. Btw it was plat 3 elo.
Critmaster Garen1 votesyour teamcomp is garbage. your only form of somewhat reliable cc is lee sins ult and karmas w.
whos gonna peel for those 4 carries? whos gonna set them up for plays? lee sin jumping into the middle of the enemy team is not a reliable form of engage. even when hes halfway tanky.
GayFluffyUnicorn2 votesThe comp is totally fine. You just need to know that with this kind of comp you need to end the game fast before tahm and olaf become too tanky and ashe starts critting the shit out of everyone.
Sp33d Zer01 votesThere is a saying I like that a lot of players much better than me say.
If you get that fed and can't carry, you deserved to lose that game.
It's really harsh, but it does put emphasis on my play, and not my teammates.
chipndip12 votesI mean, with team mates like this, this was impossible. The entire enemy team was feeding themselves back to Ekko's level off of Ekko's team mates, and Ekko's team wasn't using Ekko to pull themselves back into the game, save Karma...but she's a support.
Sp33d Zer01 votesLike I said, it is a really harsh statement, but I find personal preference in this way of thinking for myself in my games. Doesn't work for everyone, and I have had games exactly like this, and it DOES suck. But if he plays this well every game, this one game doesn't matter and he'll climb.
chipndip11 votesIt's the right mindset, yes, but I'm also a realist.
I'll keep my priorities on my own play, but my idiotic potato sacks don't get a free pass.
JhamSleaz1 votesAnd NOBODY understands why it's hard to climb in bronze lol. Every game is like this.
Popperofski1 votesI got demoted because Riot teams me up with actual intentional feeders - So I feel the pain
Bârd1 votesBot seems to have lost lane; not surprising considering how deadly an Ashe Leona lane is for MF. I'm surprised they did as well as they did.
Top picked Yasuo and got shit on by a TK. That makes sense; Yasuo has problems against all in matchups unless he can snowball early.
As for Lee, it looks to me as if he got killed trying to gank (probably bot) and never managed to come back due to Lee scaling poorly.
Uh, yeah. This is pretty much just a normal loss. Most of your allies had poor matchups both in lane and in teamfights, so it's really not too surprising.
They did, however build pretty damn poorly. MF needed a QSS against all that CC, Karma should have gotten an hourglass instead of Rot, and Yasuo should have gone for either GA or BT instead of Rot.
It's frustrating not being able to carry your team, and this is perhaps an extreme example (Solo carrying vs 3 stuns and a TK? Yeah good luck with that) but it really just seems that they had a bad game.
RacoonHunter1 votesthis is why I've stopped doing rank til probably mid season.. it's impossible for, in the current state of the game, to carry people who are that bad. I can see one lane doing bad, but not even faker could carry two lanes who go a combined total of 0-25...
Cosnirak1 votesMaybe let your team mates finish people off some and share the cs? :p
Synnx71 votesSo that way riot can keep u grinding their stupid game and hope you'll buy some RP
DarkDeamonDragon1 votesI've been bouncing between B3 and B2 for the past couple weeks. It's a vicious cycle. Win some, get promoted, lose, lose, lose, get demoted, rinse repeat. Eventually it'll break. Hopefully.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesI can't believe your two idiotic teammates who picked two of the most cancerous champions & still sucks at them.
