The RITO Matchmaking Conspiracy
Hello guys, this is not your usual QQ thread about "me challenjur, they sht dragging me down". So give it a try please :-P
Since Season 6 MMR reset happened, I am experiencing strange things that can't be put aside as random flukes or whatnot. Especially after patch 6.6 I noticed that matchmaking is getting worse and worse for solo players and it all leads into one direction.
I have a feeling, Riot is purposedly fcking up matchmaking, to force you play in premade groups, to boost their statistics about "how greeat and loved playing with premades" is. And to make it look like as a service for players, when they officially axe the soloQ forever. Because if it doesn't work in normals, why make ranked que, right?
I am not big on such theories but this one is too obvious to miss. So hear me out:
I play since Season 3. Occasionally me, low elo scrub (pending between bronze 1 - silver 3) got matched against plat or Dia players in normal games. Especially during the night time or before the season ended, when ranked tryhards starts to play normals to keep their ranked stats. I was OK with it.
Since Season 6, I have constantly being matched (if solo or duo) against high gold, plat and dia players. Since patch 6.6 I am getting more and more uncooperative team mates, platinum know-it-alls or silver cry babies and before I was usually able to calm everybody down... not anymore. Games are thrown in minute 3 just because someone said something or didn't do something.
I feel useless and this is actually first time in 3 years that I feel like my team mates are just unreal. Ofc I had trolls or AFK or toxic players before, I don't care about them. I had like 1 in every 10 games, reported them and forgott about them. But now, they are everywhere. Also the gameplay desparity between bronze and high gold players is unplayable. How the fck am I - regular silver 3 player, with bunch of likewise skrubs, supposed to win against high elo or Dia players? It's just a clown fiesta for 40 min becauseenemy as soon as they see they can win with one hand only, they start prolonging the game taking their sweet time to finifsh.
Why is it? Is it because everybody now plays in premade 4 or 5's so only trolls with no friends play solo and I am matched with them? Is Riot forcing players with many reports to play with players like me, with a ribbon, to show me how bad solo play is and how i should play with my friends? Why do we get matched in teams where my team has 1x Plat/Dia, 3x Low Silvers, 1x bronze ... against 3x high golds and 2x high silvers .... who always kicks our butts?
Even in those 3 games I somehow won in past 2 weeks, in 2 of those my team was bickering, throwing and spamming "report X for Y" whole game.
I really feel like Riot is fcking us up to boost their statistics, and to make it easier later on to say there will be no soloQ and you should only play rankeds with 3+ premade friends.
We have no Team Builder to practice with new champs (so if you wanna try new role and champion you get buttfckd by some enemy who mains that sht), we have no normals (mathcmaking is pure garbage) and now this.
Anybody else feels like this or am I just on some unbelievable improbabble 2 weeks long loss streak?
