Stop forcing losses by matching with horrible players

I go from a nice win streak to massively feeding teams. I'm sick of it. I look and on my team I am the only one above bronze and the enemy team will have 3 silver players and 2 bronze.

My team, me a gold player the rest 2 bronze and 2 unranked... so of course my team feeds.

I have had ridiculous feeders in my games because riot feels the need to force a 50/50 on me. I'm currently at 68. I am only looking at normal games atm. I haven't played ranked much since season ended but still.

Forcing losses by placing shitty players with ppl is wrong. No wonder people tilt, rage and get toxic. These games were very tilting.

in 5 games I get 3 games with totally shitty feeders on my team

It will balance out over time, yesterday you had a match that was skewed in your favour. Just human nature to always remember the bad ones, but not the good ones.

Matchmaking seems comically bad since the launch of Runes Reforged. It's like... 50/50 on if a player will feed or not on your team.

I think a lot of it is players are adjusting and trying new things - things that probably shouldn't work. It'll get better as players learn and adapt.

Now that you've explained your thoughts better, this is simply because the MMR system will try to balance out the average MMR when making a queue. Sometimes you're on the higher team. Sometimes you're on the lower team. It's not always going to determine whether you win or not. I've had instances of where I've been on the higher team and we underperformed. I've also had instances of where I've been on the lower team and we outperformed the enemy team. At the end of the day it just comes down to the players. MMR is not a true measure of skill. I've seen Plat's play worse than Bronze and Silver players. I've seen a Plat get hard stuck in Silver with over 2000 games. You can't blame match making on that.

A players skill in ranked does not diminish in a normal game and yes I know there are two separate mmrs. I understand that, and this is not my only account but one of 3 so 6 years after playing I have learned that even if normal mmr is different than ranked mmr that ranked players are still going to be better at the game. But aside from that my discussion is about riot forcing a 50/50 win rate by creating unwinnable games and placing those players with high win ratios with ppl who are on tilt and have high loss streaks.

Just because 2 bronze players are suddenly in a normal game does not make them better odds than the silver players. Just as saying that silver players are not silver because they are normal game. I am not talking MMR for a min. but skill level. My mention of the ranks are only to show that the skill level of the system is flawed.

And before someone says I am the constant in the game, let it be known there is one other always constant thing in the game... Riot and the Matchmaking. and Riots desire to force 50/50 win loss.

I was on a massive win streak, then suddenly I start being matched with complete feeders this happens everytime I find myself on a win streak. Clearly my normal mmr is high and stays very much high with minimal loss streaks and I currently have a 68% win rate in normal games and generally play with higher level players when matched in normal UNTIL I am on big win streaks.

Then Riot matches me with the bottom barrel players to FORCE my win rate to 50/50.

My OP is about riot forcing losses to create a 50/50 win rate, its nonsensical. Rather than matching me with bad teammates to force my win ratio to 50/50 why not just put better players against my team while keeping my team at a level of skill where there actually is a 50% chance to win.,

Not match me with a team where 3 players are on massive losing streaks to get me to a 50/50 basically dooming me to a loss at matchmaking.

Thanks everyone for the comments, all very valid points.

3 years spent playing the game and you did not know that each queue has it's own MMR?
