Matchmaker Upgrade Suggestion

Hey guys, Max here.

I recently sent a ticket about a chat restriction i got for flaming a dude in a ranked game. I was pissed because this guy was in his 3rd ranked game and he had no idea what he was doing, really, he didn't know how to play at all. I'm not a toxic player and I apologize for what i did, but sometimes you get a freshman with 3 ranked games on your team and kindly call him garbage.

I got those bla bla bla reply also saying i could make a suggestion. Well, i thought about it and i came up with an idea. I told the Rioter and he told me to post it here.

My suggestion to a better matchmaker is basically consider not only player mmr but also their game stats such as vision score, kda, kill participations. I know a player with a high kda can have a bad vision score and a support with a good vision score can have a low kda and so on.

At the end of every match, the game makes a classification of how bad or good was your performance in that match. I don't really know how this classitication are made but we all know every one get a "grade" between D and S+. This could be extremely useful when the matchmaker selects players for a match, since it shows how bad or good a players has been performing lately.

Cosidering this classification the matchmaker system could select players that has been performing well (or bad) lately or that has same average stats on a long period, without leaving their mmr aside. This way we could have much fairer games.

As an example, me as a support player, even when i lose a game my average "grade" at the end of the game is A, sometimes S- and sometimes B (of course sometimes C or D, i'm not here to tell how good or bad I am). My point is, it is clearly that i have been giving more attention and importance to my games than some of my teammates, because i really want to get a higher elo.

I'm aware that with this change on matchmaker we may face a higher time waiting for matches. In my opinion, 1 or 1,5 minutes more waiting for a game it's totally fair considering i will be playing a fairer game.

I may be saying nonsense here but maybe not. So i would like you to share your thoughts on this and maybe come up with a better idea or tell us why it wouldn't work.

Please, ignore any english mistake i might have made and don't judge me for being toxic in one game.

Have a good one guys.
