That shaco last season was gold. Dude has very Low # of games on his account. He is enjoying the benefits of a soft reset. Don't trip it the dude will sink like a stone if he keeps playing like trash. in MMR You cant use win rates when you make teams. that's a bad change and would make for rigged matches. Try to balance team to 50% win rates in addition to being in a MMR range = the better your playing the worse you weaker player is. Try to put teams with only similar win %? Few bad games to start and your fked forever as your always with low win rate teamamtes and you have to pray the other team is the same. Normal or high win rate teams should stomp a low rate team. The RNG can suck, but its fair. Let it sort out bad by letting them sink and good by letting them climb. The trends in play impact posion, not single games. Some times your just gonna need to let the system run its course. Dont trust Tiers on any low game accounts for any kind of accuracy at the moment. Ther is a lot of chaos this year from new tiers, new starting MMR value and the failed Positional que. Going to take some time to sort out MMR for accounts. Mismatches will occur pretty dam common. Every account that was only able to tread water are likely gonna sink... and sinking players can get pretty tilted. Good news is that making MM work a bit harder to match "experience" (# games played in the current season for the Que) would likely improve MM quality for folks who have put time in to the season but the down side is that it would make all low experience built games into an even BIGGER shitshow then it is now. This is why you don't fk with your MMR system, you don't try to make players satisfaction at the cost of functionality. Riot does this sometimes, player retention at quality so long as it does not break the system is allowed by them. How duoing functions is … awfull… for most player base ranges for what it can impact MM to consider fair. but duoing is popular and hey it wont ever truly break the ladder so it gets a free pass as it meets a lot of player needs and Dev needs even if it harms MM and MMR a bit. Hell ignorance about MMR and matchmaking are very commonplace.... Some folks honestly just want riot to do a full MMR reset for every account on the system and they don't think that would be a negative thing.

Heelarious. Fanboy wall of text, never stops to think about everything said. There are countless examples of how the MMR system never 'catches up' or puts people with ridiculous low win rates that should be in iron much higher.

Look at that. This guy not unhappy cause he not leveling fast enough, he unhappy because he can't win becuase matchmaker gives him huge bonus ever time he gets carried, and he can't get down to iron. Doesn't want to be higher, wants to be lower. Look at the actual page with his record. I'm not flaming this player, he normal example of new player. I'm flaming the MMR system to f'n death though, it's dumb.
