blind pick vs draft matching

Quil Evrything·Nov 23, 2017·3 votes·4,418 views

here is an observation of my matches with zoe in blind vs draft.

blind pick: 3 wins in a row draft: 4 losses in a row. pretty much due to afks, feeders and trolls.

i dont play blind pick much. But, from this small sample size, I am wondering: is it possible that draft pick normals, is somehow more toxic and troll prone than blind pick?

PS:. and then there's the 2 and 17 @15mins game that I just played in draft mode.

I got the 2 kills.

COME ON, RIIOT. FIX THIS MATCHING GARBAGE!

Pretty sure this fail, was due to premade on my team.

really need to EITHER take away the premade MMR adjustments, OR add a button for, "I dont care if I have to wait 20 minutes, DO NOT PLACE ME WITH A PREMADE GROUP"

You played 7 whole games? We've got legit researchers playing this game now. Riot needs to step up.

LOL matchmaking is fine in norms for the most part until a plat vs bronze. Blind is so toxic i only play for quick game and when i want to FILL

I've been a blind pick player for a long time and from my experience BP players are typically more resilient than DP players. Where DP players can ban out things they don't like, BP players have to learn to just adapt and deal with occasionally completely lopsided matchups. Things that people typically ban in ranked, BP players just learn how to play against, especially since said champions will generally be in every other game.

Also, your Draft MMR might be higher than your blind pick MMR, assuming that you play the former more often. That could be why you have an easier time winning in comparison.

i heard they share the same MMR, etc. At minimum, they share the same win/loss counter

yet at the same time, when considering MMR, there may be something supporting your theory. Today, I more often see golds in blind, compared to draft. Draft, I'm usually stuck in bronzie hell for my team.
