Ranked matchmaking is unfair with hidden MMR

end96··2 votes·1,389 views

As an iron 2 player(my current rank) it is totally frustrating every game I play against bronze 1 - silver 4 as the only iron. No it's not an 'honor' to have a high mmr, I have to grind out of iron playing silvers. What a joke. 200+ games +50% win rate all with bronze and silver as iron 3. Super stupid. Who designs this shit... bout to quit

Higher MMR makes it so that you gain slightly more LP and lose slightly less LP, making it faster to climb. With high enough MMR you can even skipp promos and ranks.

I am iron 4 and get bronze and silver in my games. It sucks, but I don't think there are enough iron players active. A few months ago the games were all iron, but had to wait 10 mins just to have someone dodge and then I was done for the day without having played at all.

The good thing is that your LP gain reflect it. I'm running 40% win rate at best and I gain 22 for a win and lose 14. It's frustrating to always be the weakest player on your team , but it feels awesome when you pull off an A or B game against someone 8 ranks above you

my point being is i should be able to get out of iron ez playing against my rank, but I never get matched irons. its really lame to have to play against people 5-7ranks higher to grind out of iron. total bs in fact https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=chocula84

based on this account "end96" you are listed as bronze 3 with 100 lp 165w 210l for a 44% win rate

so did you create a "smurf" and are in IRON as a smurf? if so riots mmr will detect this and place you vs people of your mmr

aka iron should play against iron... even if their mmr is higher its only fair. I have to essentially play at a handicap because I am better than my rank. I dont have time to play 200 games for a stupid silver border and probably gonna just quit the game. Kiss my $$$ goodbye. I have a job and a life

lol end96 is my friends account he got banned lmao. my bad i'm on his comp we roommates. maybe riot thinks we the same because we share ip. lame i think we figured out the problem hoss. Too bad ppl share modems all the time. I'm Chocula84 not end96 lol

To be fair iron bronze and silver is all the same to me. You can climb just keep playing and working on your skills
