Honestly, with the amount of games I've played over 4 seasons, you know what I learned?

Matchmaking is luck, luck in terms of who gets the least amount of idiots on there team or the person who can't play there autofilled role very well.

It's honestly a flip of a coin.

People who have gotten to Diamond, or Diamond 3, or Masters, they just have really good luck with the teams they get. I watch high elo streams, and I see no difference between there play and mine, all I see is difference in team quality.

I am much better than the elo I am in, I don't want to have a conversation as to why, or battle anyone that says "nah dude, you're where you are because you belong there", I was F***ing P1 with Diamond 4 MMR 5 weeks ago, and now I'm P5 with 31 LP and Gold 4 MMR.

I am so sick of losing because of idiots on my team, I am extremely sick of watching people who are much worse than me on the enemy team get the win.

This game is amazing, it really is, but matchmaking is a complete and utter joke.

Besides the fact there is no possible way to truly know your MMR, it just sounds like you tilt hard. Solo queue is all about consistently being better. You won't win every game, but if you're consistently better than the people around you you'll win more than you lose. It doesn't have to be superstar performances where you carry games. Those 3/1/7 games are all you need. You just have to make a positive impact on the game.

The boards are a good place to find players with good attitudes.

i total agree. I have been playing since season 1. I would say 80% of the games we win bot and take first turrent. The problem is always mid top or jungle. Some times we (my self and adc) can make up for it sometime we can't.

What sucks is when your 3 or 5 kills to none and first turrent but there is a fizz that got fed 5 kills. He will crap all over me and the adc event though we are same gold and he just has one lvl. NO its not a learn to play issue. Some champ once fed its all over unless they screw up.

Heck in my game a few games ago. We had a malphite jungle (i know right) he would say im coming bot to gank and wait there. This was 10 mins into the game and after eve camped us for 6 or 7 mins straight. "I was like dude if you have to ask to gank your doing it wrong. You need to response to ganks and get them when they are pushed not wait in the bushes for 2 mins." We farmed up and won that game. Man top was bad too. (fed alot of early deaths) But me and the adc cornered them and double ulted 2 times to get baron and win. (mf and fiddle) at the end of the game he was like "YESSS promos to silver 5 baby". I told my friend on TS. He isn't a bad player 1/4/13 but he DOESN"T have a clue about how to play the game or jungle. We carried him out of bronze at game. Their top and jungle was WAY better than ours. But ours got the pts.

Now i usually end up gold/plat because i dont play enough games to really climb the latter. But you are correct. 100% of the games are decided on who my teams are. Mostly weither they are a good jungle or one that just wanted to farm. I say we lose about 70% to 80% of those games. (junglers that only farm should be reported for Learn to play) they just do not know how to play jungle. They dont understand ganks just to get them to use summoners or force them to back, remove pressure, or take turrents. They will farm or camp one lane and ask why is bot losing when we have be chain camped and ganked by tp mid and top. Then we rock them once its fair fights.

This game is less skill based and more luck base on the roliet of champ select.

How do you explain to win you need to kill the base not chase and kill them team. Not do baron, or team fight in the jungle with no objective near by. Heaven forbid anyone foruming a front lane to protect the carrys. NOPE Hambo in and chase the ahri or tank while the bruiser and assisins charge the carries and i try to stop them all..... Nope didnt kill the tank or catch the ahri..... Don't fill bad. I haven't play with or against you but you are correct on this isn't all about skill.... maybe 40% or less is skill. (master/pro might be different but i say that has to do with champ make-up and 40% skill)
