First time J4. 36% Win ratio Orianna, 43% last season. Lucian 24/7 stayed bot lane and inted. Called ./ff on first death. Wukong played well despite being the lowest ranked on our team, but J4 and Ori brought him down with their badness. (Also Nautilus is OP. Down 2 deaths to a 3-0 Wukong and still useful because of the ridiculously massive W shield and CC).

I played as best as I could in a matchup that favored the enemy team.

Would need more winrates and such. But on image-rank alone that isn't the worst stacked match I've seen. Although yea it makes no sense that 4 Golds get paired vs 4 Plats when the system can easily just swap a Plat onto the Gold team lol. "Balance" some players argue.

Oh but those Plat players are dropping down. Guess not since they just got a win.

A lot of people don't realize that red side gets higher MMR because of the inherent blue side advantages of the map. I think this doesn't really make sense because most people in soloQ don't actually understand or use blue side advatages. Most of it has to do with access to baron, but I don't even understand why blue side is better beyond this.

The team of 4 Golds and 1 Plat were the higher MMR? I know "rising and falling" but wow.

But I never knew that. Interesting note, but I agree I doubt the macro exists in my bronze tier.

We were lower MMR. The red and blue on the opgg image indicates loser and winner.

I prefer red side.

To extend onto that, my team could have been all plat and they would still have played bad and I would have complained about how each of them are on 10 game losing streaks and such :)

no, what's stupid is that every game i'm in, someone on my team must afk. oh, but they'll connect first and then dc so we can't remake. 3 4v5's in a row.
