MMR Hard at work for your free win/lose
I played the last few days, winning more than losing, and got into my promos. My MMR was really high after 3 wins, so you know what that means right? You guessed it, Rito said no more winning and placed me on 5 teams all with shizz players, and against a god team. Well, not really god teams, but my team had some real sh!zz heads on it and there was no way I was going to carry my promos.
Well after that, I lost about 7 or 8 games.
Guess what the MMR gods of Rito then did?
You guessed it, they put me on a GOD TEAM/SUPER TEAM/ Free win pool. I picked Veigar Jungle because I was fill. I barely even tried, and got killed by the jungle creeps a couple times. My team was SO GOD TIER, they just carried the F out of me, and all while I was typing in the chat to the Yi jungler on the enemy team that he would lose to my MMR picked Super Team, and there was nothing he or I could do about it. He kind of scoffed at the notion at first, but then he saw, and everyone on my team was falling in line perfectly and we just beat their asses clean. The enemy team was pretty good, but they were lower skilled and had higher MMR.
What the HELL is this doing in League of Legends? Why am I throwing my game as Veigar jungle and winning for free because Rito wants it to happen, but when I play my ass off, I get a bag full of trash to carry whilst I get stomped by MY own teammates when I win too many games in a row. This is so unfair, and I feel bad for the enemy team I played against in my last game before writing this.
I am merely documenting this to let you the players know, and hopefully RITO employees and developers also know that their rank matchmaking system is bad, wrong, and unfair. Don't care if you don't like my wording on this one, its SO BAD you guys are literally stacking the deck for teams and should have NO PLACE in matchmaking. RANK on its own should satisfy matchmaking and players with more skill should get evened out with players of same skill level. Matching people against people with higher or lower skill just makes it shady, and ruins people's faith in the system when they want to advance and try to rank up. When people play well and win, there should be no hidden sneaky MMR thing picking teams to go against people so they get their ass stomped by God Tier Teams, or get a group of feeders to hold them back. This needs to change, because its plain bad.
When you think of competition, you don't see this kind of thing happen, in football, baseball, or basketball. People pay money and care about the game, so why not make this game actually competitive, so people can play against people their own skill level until they DO advance in rank. The MMR system needs to go, its not good. We don't like it, and when I say we I mean players that play and try to get better, but get our faces smashed in by feeding teammates and go against Super teams. Imagine if I was lifting weights and bench about 95lbs, and try to build my skill up, but sometimes they throw 300lbs randomly on the bench for me, then thats a wasted day for me, I won't gain anything by getting my ass beat. Fix this system. Just make the rank system straight up. Or just have no rank and make only MMR a thing, but pick one. Why is MMR hidden? [zombie-brand-mindblown]
When will someone do something about this? Never? Does something legal need to happen?
