Hey Riot, don't force 50% win rate by pairing with bad players. Make games fair.
On a win streak? Get ready for the free loss with the 1v9. Everytime. Design: 10 Sound: 10 Story: 10 Matchmaking: yikes

They dont.
Not only would this be incredibly hard to do (tons of extra matchmaking time and complexity), there is no reason to do it.
Get better, or at least blame luck and statistics, not riot.
What have we here, another bitching about a couple of random loses. You know, actually those 1v9 loses happen regardless of whether you're on a win streak or not; you just don't notice because for you it's OK when they're a part of a lose streak.
Yep typical "I lose only due to teammates" type of thread
Threads like this are the equivalent to flat earthers. If there was a forced 50% winrate, how come smurfs don't get lose STREAKS after a win streak. They may lose once or when unlucky twice but this won't hold them back to reach their rank. Unlike you guys that just don't try hard enough. Maybe listen to Bob kelso he can teach you a thing about your problems of climbing. https://youtu.be/89xUz9fZBXA?t=14s

That's not a thing.
I go through this all the time, I recently managed to balance out the losing and winning somehow. But now that my winrate is apparently a bit too high they've decided to make me LOSE 5 GAMES IN A ROW. That is obivously bad, that is not as healthy as it was before. Btw I don't play on this account anymore so here's the link to my new one http://eune.op.gg/summoner/userName=14daysuspensionk ... yea, Riot, umm, can't you find a better way to balance my winning streak other than making me scared to play because of how much you're forcing me to lose? This isn't fair, do something about this and stop making me go on losing for AGES when I was having fun winning.
Ok. I am gonna to Rito HQ to adress this issue. Anyone gonna with me?

I honestly want to agree with you and say that the system is rigged, but that's simply just not how it works.
It's solo queue. People aren't going to pick optimal champions or even build a decent team comp every game. Some people will tilt. Some are already tilted from previous games, for the same reason that you're now upset at them.
Review the last 5 or so games of each of your teammates when you think Riot is "inting" your LP with their matchmaking. I seriously doubt that all four of your teammates are on a hard losing streak, or that they're inting/soft-inting all of their games. If they are, then that is the rarest case and will not consistently be happening to you.
Learn how to hard-win your role and to guide your team to victory. If you're 5/0 out of lane top as Darius and your bot is struggling. Go help them. If you're 1/4/2 as a jungler, then you're probably part of the problem and you need to figure out what is going wrong. Bad pathing? Counterjungling someone you can't fight? Counterjungling while enemy laners are missing and getting countered? Do you play support? Then all is not hopeless if your AD is having a rough game. Go roam and help the strongest part of your team and have your AD farm it out, and then bring the strongest part of your team to get your AD back into the game, while securing vision and denying vision to the enemy.
What usually makes the difference in the lower Elos is macro play and shot-calling, because players at these tiers just want to fight constantly and then don't know what to do after the fight is over. If you ace the enemy team at 20+ minutes, you get Baron if you are healthy enough or multiple towers, but I see lower Elo players base or go farm Krugs.
I've played at every division below Challenger on a variety of accounts over the years. If you put in the effort, you can come out ahead. Some games you will lose because the enemy team plays/drafts better than you, but you need to work on your gameplay because statistics completely disagree with your thinking. As much as you, and I, want it to be true that the system is broken, statistics don't lie.
Good luck on The Fields of Justice.
I don't know why people are downvoting this guy... my last few ranked games have been nothing but degenerate apes that run down their lanes and go 0/10 by 5 minutes.
Does anyone actually know how matchmaking works? I have asked a few threads and never gotten an answer... Is it truly random by closest MMR or is there something else happening?
It's a myth. They said there's nothing like this implemented in league.
