Unbalanced games

League of Legends Match History

Why is it, that in all of my classic 5 v 5 un-ranked games, the teams are unbalanced? The game I linked you may not be able to see, however, I'll explain. There were 3 members of the enemy team level 30 and ranked. All 3 of them had over 500 wins (one of them had over 1,000 and the other had over 2,000! (I don't even have 300 games played!)). Upon checking their account further, I see that one of them has been playing since season 1 and the others from season 3. So why am I playing against them? Its not like the other 2 on their team were complete noobs to average it out. They were actually balanced enemies. I started this game 2-3 weeks ago with around 100 wins. Clearly can't match up against these blokes who have been playing for years and neither can my team.

All of the people on my team were actually around my level and skill of gameplay. And this seems to always be the case, but for the enemy team I do not get so lucky. Even if you don't want to give me a game that is completely even (which it should be), I understand, but please, at least give my team someone who can carry also so we have a fighting chance.

And this isn't the first time this has happened, and I doubt it will be the last. I've repetitively have to face level 30 carries that just demolish my inexperienced team in non-stop games for up 10 games straight! I thought it was maybe cause I was winning too much but I've lost so many matches in a row to these 1-3 man armies, to the point where I have more losses than wins.

I started to play Aram, and holy jesus, it is 10x better and more balanced. But I prefer and enjoy classic more and these uneven teams really make the game unenjoyable for noobs like me to the point where I don't even want to play anymore. Just left a game called "Heroes of the Storm" cause its matchmaking was absolutely atrocious. Please don't make it so I have to do so again.

TL;DR : the teams in my matches are always unbalanced where the enemy team has 1-3 experienced and veteran carries whilst my team has none. Why?

Example #2: (A match I just played & right after the one above)

Because the MMR Riot uses to match games is entirely subjective. The only hard metric it uses to put you in a match is your recent W/L record and how that measures up to your total W/L. If it was more objective about how and why a win was a win and a loss was a loss, it would be accurate.

But in a TEAM game, they have made the entirety of your ranking INDIVIDUALLY measured by YOUR win/loss, which is about the stupidest thing they could have done.

if you are just playing because you like moving around a champion, feel free to play aram and dominion and all that shit but if you want to become better at the game, be happy you get to play against players you can actually learn from.
