If riot doesn't ruin the game with their choice of teammates, and if I'm really the same level as those guys, then how do you explain this? (and no, it's not a coincidence, I could post hundreds of screenshots like this)

I know right, I hate it when Riot gives me players that got 3/11 or 1/9 with Yi or 1/10/3 with Rammus, I think players who have these kinds of scores should just be removed from the game, right OP?

So two things. Firstly, let's be honest, your screenshots aren't even showing off an impressive disparity.(Look at my match history losses for some fun ones.

Secondly, matchmaking is pretty much impossible to actually balance until you get to the higher tiers...where there aren't enough players to actually make it work effectively. Here is why:

Let's say you have 2 similarly skilled players by every metrics except one mains Nasus and the other mains Riven. Riven crushed this matchup easy so it looks like riot matchmaking is bad. When you have 10 different players and 140 champions with unique abilities and interactions it just gets insane to actually balance.

On the flip side sometimes their matchmaking(particularly in series) is handing one team a free win.(https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/3062674788/38386924?tab=overview is a great example where we have an Orianna smurf on our team and they have a 43% winrate Voli on a series on their team)

So honestly, 80% of games are actually pretty well matched, though because of all the moving pieces it often doesn't look that way.

Actually on average you are probably worse than those players, since you have overall 43% winrate (small sample size, but still) and have more deaths than kills on every champion.

Matchmaking doesn't cause such statistics, it's just your own gameplay that fails badly. After all, we are talking about silver ranked and it doesn't take much to carry 1v9 there, unless you are an actual silver player (see my account for proof).

Yes, this comment might sound a little mean, but I want people to open their eyes for the truth. In most cases, where someone is unhappy with matchmaking and blames it for losses, a quick research shows it's their own fault they're unable to climb.

For the love of god why don't you guys learn to dodge games when there is a Ryze on your side?

how do we explain what you didn't get bad teammates, you got teammates that played poorly, riot does care enough to individually screw over different players. they dont put a player on your team with the expectation that they will feed and lose you the game just like when they put you on someone else's team they dont put you there to lose them the game just because you happen to feed. So what if you lost two game or a hundred you could also post screen shots of the games where you got your ass carried

Deaths are critical. If you are 13/11 you are not doing good. You fed off so much bounty gold that you end up being a bigger feedee than someone who is 1/11. If you are carrying you CANNOT die, especially that much. Ppl hardstuck dont understand this and only look at there kill count
