Matchmaking Algorithm

Riot's algorithm is not what they state it is. Lately I have been playing pretty shitty, but even when I get behind I still help contribute as much as I can. It seems like the only times I win is when I absolutely go off and hard carry my entire team. I looked into my ranked history and my games definitely support my hypothesis. In almost all of my games that I win, I am NEVER hard carried. Every now and then I get a victory but lately I am on a serious drought (1-6 Win/loss if you were wondering). I ask you all to go look at my history and verify that to me that I'm not insane here. I'm so sick of getting a team of chronic feeders and poor communicators that I am on the verge of uninstalling. :(

Mm does not fix issues with player behavior, sadly. If there is a higher # of population with garbage attitudes then you get more garbage teammates.

By your own admission you have been playing poorly and you have had a worse we recently. Riots MM will not compensate you for a lackluster performance. It just lowers your raiting.

The argument I am making is that in order to win, I should not have to have an amazing performance. The matchmaking algorithm seems to assume some players will carry, some players will feed and some will just be average. Betting on players to carry is a surefire way to punish players who are not consistent carriers.
