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)
LMQ TripleLift5 votesSo 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 
and the other mains 
. 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.

???? 5/14, 2/14 vs 13/11 "no disparity"?

It's a lost faster to balance in lower tiers because you have such a large pool of players; the downside is that you don't have as much data on them. Anyway, 1 game doesn't matter, I'm talking about long term balance. I wouldn't care if I had one bad team here and there, but not NINE OUT OF TEN. Especially when the tenth one only wins because they have an afk
Dope Solo1 votesYeah I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit on that. Being of equal matchmaking means you know you've been counterpicked and you stay back and play accordingly. Someone that feeds into those matchups wasn't equally matched.
Jamaree5 votesI 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?

0.7 ryze 0/7 yi 2/8 yi
its clearly his teams that are holding him back
Kai Guy1 votesAre these screen shots even from his account?
iWuTaylor6 votesI totally agree! But the r%%%%%s who can't even read a game properly come first [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
Thingamajig3 votesgo play single player games or something
eunekid4203 votesActually 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.
Zeppelins circus1 votesFor the love of god why don't you guys learn to dodge games when there is a Ryze on your side?
MasterDClone1 voteshow 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
lolipopevelynn1 votesDeaths 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
