Broken Matchmaking

PoopiePirate··1 votes·458 views

I am so tired of this freaking matchmaking system. I always get matched with people who either throw the game because of skill level, or just can't play their champ. LOL states their matchmaking system is "fair;" however "fair" is Microsoft's system of matchmaking (trueskill). Basing it on TRUE PLAYER SKILL (tracked progress).

Quit just matching based one the teams 'COLLECTIVE SCORE'!!!!! Its not fair to expect one person to carry the game for a team who is incompetent. You need to come up with something better. Im sick of this.....

I agree there are better system out there (i like the dawn of war 2 system) And agree that the ''trueskill'' system is interesting and make sense.

but i will have to say to you this: Give me 10 smurfs, and i will go to high plat with all 10. Yes, i will lose games, some games will seem unfair for me but specially for those i face. But in the end, my skills doesnt change, i will climb to where i belong.

Now if we talk about DQ in the matchmaking however...

really? You want 10 sumurf's? I know ppl who are Diamond 5-3 that are surf's and idc who you are...you don't stand a chance. The matchmaking is broken. They need to base Teams off of individual skill. Im sick of losing games because i can't cary a team who does not know how to play. I have ben demoted 4 ranks and i have been 0/9/22 (minimum).

you know diamond 5-3...so what? i know a challenger and 3 master tiers players... That is irrelevant to the subject.

I dont stand a chance? what? I have done it, twice. Im not Plat 2 by chance..duh. (and still climbing) Ive beaten diamonds also, its not that different from high plat (until you hit diamond 3)

I dont agree with team cumulative MMR. But that doesnt mean the game is unfair. The enemy team has the same stuff as you. But what the game rewards is consistency. You are a support main, as I used to be. But ONE team has to win. If you are MUCH better than your elo (which you are not in this case) Then you will climb fast, If you are only slightly better, it will take a much longer time but you will in the end. Its a long term grind. You think people end up at their skill level in 2 weeks? a month? then complain how their team holds them back? It is the oldest saying at every elo since the game has been created. Oddly, Ive been bronze 4 to plat 2. The gameplay is vastly different and the skill level is also. That also mean the enemy is MUCH better but still, someone has to win. If the skill gap is that obv when you climb, so that means your gameplay needs to aswell.

So what im essentially saying, is that you have a lot to learn and you prolly dont even know what. Thats the issue. Also, you DO NOT climb low elo as a support main. It could take you 2 seasons IF you ARE lucky.

P.S: ive seen people being quite good under individual perspective. But you know what? they still dunno how to win the game, which is what the ladder rewards. Winning the game gets harder also the higher you go, people dont know how to adapt as they climb.
