Worst Matchmaking i have ever played

This game has the worst matchmaking i have ever played bar none 9 out of 10 games i will be forced to play with people i'm surprised even learned how to breathe game after game i'm given teammates who despite playing the game for years seem to have learned nothing and int every chance they get, Im forced to try and carry 2 losing side lanes and a terrible jungler and if i don't like that i get people telling me you dont deserve to be x if you cant carry your team why should i have to carry 4 braindead players vs a team of 5 competent players to climb. The game should not both have hidden mmr and divisions if you're gold with the mmr of a plat player you should not be playing with gold players vs plat players you should be playing against plat players with plat players on your team.

Riot's justification for this type of matchmaking is that if you're "good enough" you should be able to win the game anyway, despite the people that suck ass on your team, conveniently forgetting the fact that they've created a meta where a single feeder can lose you the game within the first 10 minutes.

I just wonder where all the games are where I get to be the person who goofs off and feeds, decides to do some troll build or play full AP ROFL support, or leaves for 20 minutes in the middle of the game, but it doesn't matter because I have a teammate who's "good enough to win the game anyway".

High Gold to low Plat is nothing but boosted accounts. I gave up trying to play after falling from G1 50-ish LP down to G3. That was with Plat 3 MMR close to Plat 2. Nearly every game I played had boosted players going 0-10 in 10 minutes.

Only solid advice that I can give for you to climb out is play a proactive play style. Reacting to whatever happens in game will cause you to lose more games than win them. In the words of a wise man known as Trick2G, "You need to play the game not let the game play you if you want to win." This play style only works if you are actually good though/know how to play the game. If you're not/don't know how to play then you won't climb.

If you don't want to bother with improving and just want ranks to show off then play on average 3-7 games per day. It's slower, but you're guaranteed to climb. You'll also have to factor in time zones and play time of your region. In doing so you can tell when bad players get on allowing you to avoid them.

Since I'm from NA this is how it was for me: -12 PM to 3 AM This is usually when all the average players get on. They're generally your high school kids who aren't sleeping, college students who should be sleeping/studying, or that guy that just got off work and wants to relax.

-6 AM to 10 AM You'll usually find above average players during this time.

-11 AM to 3 PM Usually you'll want to avoid playing during this time. Majority of these players are under 12 and under or are playing off server (these guys tend to be incredibly bad).

-4 PM to 12 PM These are your casual players. Play here if you want to achieve Bronze 5.
