One Good Player Vs One Bad Player

It seems like more and more one good player cant win a game but one bad player can lose you one. Wondering if anyone agrees with this? I think this is a result of trying to make league more team focused, but i think it could be better done by up'ing the value of rift and drag's (baron is already strong) without making it hard for a single player to carry.

Any low MMR silver 5s willing to test this theory with me?

it's felt like this since about mid season 5

the "anti snowball changes" reducing exp for kill to zero, and reducing gold gains for kills shifted the power from people who were superior players to their teammates, and if your team has the worst player in the game on it, unless they're only marginally worse than the rest of your team, you're probably losing the game.

There's a lot of lucky button mashers out there.

If you want bad players to stop ruining the game, you need to make things less completely trivial to capture. The reason bad players cost games more now than in previous seasons is because everything is about contesting objectives, because objectives are generally really easy to get now.
