Winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak....

So fun to play this game. Wonderful matchmaking. Wonderful 50% win ratio forced to everyone regadless of if they are performing good or bad or the number of games played. (irony off).

In a winning streak you win even if you dont deserve it. In a losing streak you lose even if you dont deserve it.

This game can go hell, tbh.

Yeah, I wish they would take another look at the algorithm that promotes this kind of shit.

Just because you're doing well in your role and have high MMR doesn't mean they can throw you in with 4 bads and expect you to carry.

That shouldn't be happening.

MMR weights need to be even without having like a 61% winrate guy placed on same team as 43% winrate guy to "balance" out.

We all know this game doesn't work that way and the game is usually decided by the worst player not the best.

matchmaking. it has been like this for years. this is literally hidden but built in. this is how they keep your winrate at 49-51%. its not a joke.

"oh you didn't get trolls and you're a competent player that won 5 matches in a row. here is an adc that went 0/6 last game". or hes someone with less mmr while we put high mmr agaist you. this is all set up in their matchmaking system to stop your w/r from going insane unless you smurf hard coare badass to balance the shittyness you get matched with

in the last 10 games

one game I went 25/5 and lost. and i went 6/1 with so much more farm than enemy jg. and i lost again. unsalvagable games.

meanwhile 4 games ago. my team was SO MUCH better than the enemy. they aced the enemy team 4 minutes into the game. i fuck you not. 4 minutes into the game and i wasn't even involved.

They change the mmrs to try to force a 50% winrate. Some people are good or lucky and can get past it. Some are bad and lost even that. Majority just sorta... get stuck in this infinite cycle. Win a game your next team loses mmr but the enemy gains mmr. Lose a game and your teams mmr will be higher. The exact opposite of what should be happening. It doesn't always happen obviously but it happens quite a bit

Glad I'm not the only one who notices this.

Winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak, winning streak, losing streak...and then theres finally that one game that lasts until like 45 minutes and each side actually has a chance to win.

Apophenia: the tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things.

Even looking at your match history, what you're describing didn't happen to you.

If you're better than the people you're playing against, you'll win more than you lose. If you're matched with people at your current skill level, you'll win about 50% of the time. Here are 2 unranked to challenger accounts https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=dontdeportmepls https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=holyfukadcsuc

notice how they have substantially higher than a 50% winrate? Because what you're describing is bullshit. a 50% winrate just shows you that matchmaking is working well because it's pairing you with equally skilled players.

It's a bullshit way to test someone's skill honestly. If this was a 1v1 game, sure. This is a teamgame. Just because I am 10/0 on Velkoz doesn't mean I will carry. I cant carry if my team has no tank to absorb the enemy for me. Doesn't work. Unfortunately in silver/gold, nobody cares about teamcomp. Nobody. They just want to play riven/zed. Its fuckin stupid.

Yeah this is pretty common and its extremely annoying. I finished gold last season but because of crap placements got put in b3. Coming out I had like a 65-70% win rate until Riot decided that was too high and then all of a sudden (trying to get out of b1 and then again in s5 to s4) , the teammate quality just dove. I was literally getting placed with people who've never played a ranked game before. They quickly drove my win rate from high 60s to mid 50s by putting me on teams that were practically impossible to carry. Last season getting out of s1 was very similar. Huge win streaks and then team quality just dove. Unbelievable.

Just had an afk first time in ranked yi, thanks matchmaking.

This is the best part of the game! Why should I be matched up against Gold 4's if I'm Gold 4? Nononono, I won 5 matches today! Put me against 2 Plats and a Diamond please!

Riot fights toxicity but whats funny is that they create it by giving you tons of lose streaks

MunchCrunchLunch2/26/2017, 7:40:55 PM4 votes

basically what the guy said

tldr: game matchmaking algorithm thinks that a good player with a bad player have equal chances of winning against two decent players

we all know that league matches are decided by the worst player not the best. the dude that makes it a 4v6.

I always hated these tin foil hat players who are in MOBA communities who are like, "X Developer is forcing me to win or lose! I can't do anything about it!"

EXACTLY. Riot could do it differently and more fairly by pairing you against people equal to your level instead, they don't trust that doing that would work so they force you to lose by pairing you with lesser players. It's bullshit.

In the end, Riot controls who wins and loses EVERY stinking game and the players don't. Oh, except AFK's which they can't control. Although, I've often thought that they can give you a computer AFK just to keep their STUPID 50/50 win to loss rule.

Riot, enough with this crap.

The best player in the entire world, faker, out of all 25 million people playing this game.

Has a 70% winrate, that shows how fucked this game is, the best player ON THIS ENTIRE PLANET, should have 90-100% winrate don't you think?

If he can't carry 100% of the time no one can, stop makign this game a fucking mental illness, seriously this shit gets me in such a disgusting state nad its bad for my health and makes my productivity ziltch.

This type of shit should be fucking illegal, and if riot don't get their act toghether, maybe one day their game will be.

Wow, it's almost like you're in the division you belong in so you win about 50% or your games...

Riot can lie as much as they want...They're not even trying to match you with teammates with elo as high as yours...Try to check few games on op.gg and you'll see :) The games you won are usually the ones where you got matched with higher elo teammates /w great MMR...That being said,whenever you lose you'll see your team with 4 Silver 5 players and enemy team with 5 Platinum 1 players Lulu If you think about it a little bit more...This doesnt even depend on your champion...The whole game is about bad players...Does anyone really think that someone can carry the game where you're LITERALLY playing 1v9...The Riot wants to keep all the players on 50% winrate...Thats why you should play 1 normal and then 1 ranked game...There's no point in trying to play the game 24/7 its literally not worth wasting your time :) Riot only cares about toxic players.You cant even get banned if you int Ziggs Try to int 5 games in a row ( Normal Blind Pick) and trust me :) you wont get banned summoner 21

Wonderful 50% win ratio forced to everyone regadless of if they are performing good or bad or the number of games played.

that is how MMR works, you know?

If you go on a winning streak, you will have higher MMR gains from each match and then will be put against players who also have higher MMR.

The whole purpose of MMR is to find the sweet spot where you are at 50% win rate. If you have 50% winrate then you have arrived at your own personal MMR - where you are supposed to be in the ladder.

It is separate from LP gains. It is possible to be at 50% winrate and still climb the ladder if your MMR is higher than where you currently are in the leagues.
