MM doesn't even feel fair at this point.

I've been at the highest mmr or nearly highest mmr (assuming that's what decides captain pick and 2nd/3rd slot) in my lobby for about 5 games now and that hinders me because they get the perfect chances to counter me in whatever I pick. I get placed into a low ELO 2 seasons in a row at 8-2 placements (last season I was like 7-3 or something) and I'm literally forced to choose the one role that doesn't really get countered (support) in lieu of a champion I can better affect the game in. Since this is low elo, surrenders rarely happen either so it doesn't matter if I feed my adc with ease; if they outscale us anyway or our fed adc starts derping, it's over.

I did try picking someone with few counters and I got countered by one of the most strongest champs this season...Graves top vs me as Nasus. I rarely lose Nasus games but that was cancer, as is any game with Graves in it.

It shows in the people I play with unfortunately. I lost like 5 in a row after winning nearly 6 times in a row to get to promos, losing promos even with promo helper. Doesn't matter how well I play. If our damage dealers are derps that attack Nautilus instead of Lucian or never listen to pings and die 20 times, it's practically always gg.

spot in lobby is completely random

It's not completely random, you do have a higher chance of being the captain if your MMR is higher, but it's an overall statistical insignificance when compared to the 20% guaranteed chance you have of being captain.

I honestly feel like MMR does play a part. Every time I'm on the bottom half, I have teammates carrying ME or just playing incredibly in comparison to when I'm cpt or 2nd spot...and sometimes 3rd spot (3rd spot is kind of hit/miss).

It is completely random now. Has been for awhile. I'm not going to find you the post. You go find it.

I...unfortunately saw a Plat (S5 plat) in my game. He was on our team, but jesus christ, why am I seeing that when I'm just trying to place a rank or promote?
