How is matchmaking ever going to "eventually balance out" when people can just make new accounts

after their accounts get fucked

And then the truly iron players end up back in silver-gold again, because they get 80 lp per win for no fucking reason that they don't deserve.. and match with gold-plat players (cus matchmaking) who deserve to be in that range or higher get 15 lp or less?

Does this make sense to anyone? As if, everything else bad about this fucking system isn't enough

ELO ONLY works on premade teams that do not change. THAT is how the ELO system was developed for. What we have in Ranked will NEVER work with SoloQ.

It works in LCS because the teams are set and dont change. Go read up on ELO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

i mean thats not really matchmaking, thats a problem with how the MMR system itself works.

Everyone gets placed low Bronze first game. They aren't going to make silver unless they win a lot of their placements. Even if they do, they won't be there for long if they're truly iron.

One time I got permabanned for playing Yasuo very badly

Then I made a new account and started murdering everyone

Takeaway: don't buy anything, goof off and you can still win. Make a new account if you need to

For starters, you can make new accounts attached to the same email so that's only half an issue. Secondly, account lifetime should not be what determines matchmaking. Remove that line of thinking and you've probably much dealt with any issue regarding new accounts.

It's almost like making Aram accounts, smurfs, toxic players making new accounts, and etc all can be fixed with one simple solution.
