From 3-4 days im always matched with random noobs. Even when im playing with fr and we need one person to fill a 5 team we get he most idiotic player. Feeders, unskilled players. This is so annoying. Cant RIOT fix that somehow. That ruins the game experience totaly

It's because Riot's matchmaking system does not know how to adjust for people with oversized opinions of themselves. The people you're being matched with are, on paper at least, just as good as you.

It's generally a matter of: your play weakness aren't the same as theirs, so you see theirs in glaring light while you're blind to your own.

HOWEVER, I will say this: queue'ing up with 4 people usually sucks massive balls. For some reason, that random never seems to have any idea what they're doing, and they're always a half-step from raging. I've taken to calling this "picking up a Hufflepuff" whenever we have the misfortune of only 4 friends on at once. It's like:

"Okay. We won a teamfight. Let's go grab <Objective X>." ping objective "Sounds like a plan. Wait, where's <Random Player> going?" "Looks like he's going to kill wolves. Again. He can see our pings, right?"

Being the solo that gets paired with 4 people is usually worse.

We know from Lyte that this is the team configuration that generates the most reports.

I laughed... hard. " oversized opinions of themselves" was my favorite part.

It could be that you currently have an average MMR and thus are placed with new players, that have an average MMR by default.

Matched or paired up?

If matched, then: i don't know why are you complaining.

If paired up, then: my guess is that you have been paired up with your own 'kind'.
