Match making really makes me not want to play this game anymore

Doesn't even have anything to do with the meta or that I have played for almost a decade. I just want to play fun competitive games most the time... but I am lucky to get even a few of those once in awhile.

Look I hated season 8 and in my opinion for good reason. I hated season 8 so much I actually hated the game. But I feel like you have made some good changes Riot and I actually like the game again. Only problem is I am so sick of how bad match making is. Now.... I had a good day I mean I went 4-2 and even in 1 loss idk felt like we had a chance. But fuck man my last game was a reminder of why I took a break and going to take another. I have such a terrible win rate already and then you give me such a widespread team of ranks its just dumb. I don't get why you have such fast queue times for fucking low elo rank. Even when you had longer queues they still were only like maybe 2 mins..... and games felt at least a little better. I'd rather wait and have more of my games better quality than play this fiesta bullshit.

I know a lot of it still has to do with season "start" I suppose but fuck.

I just want to play league lol or more realistically i just don't give a fuck about ranked cuz i've played through stupid ass silver enough I am over it. And the shitty part is if games were actually even I would rank up out of it much quicker. But since games so random you just get fucked so often it makes getting on a streak difficult. Unless you abuse so boring bullshit. Idk even people I see who actually have high win rates seem so trash I really don't get wtf happened to this game lol. Damage creep ruined it I suppose like I am not lying I have seen so many just trash players have higher win rates since season 8. In any season before that it was never the case. I had a Zyra support earlier who.... was not very good was probably a legit silver 4 player but playing in a silver 2 game. It is what it is but the shocking thing? I LOOKED AT THEIR STATS AND THEY HAD OVER 60% W/R IN LIKE 60+ GAMES. lmao. Thats getting to like smurf levels. And the only reason we won were me and our Jax who both have terrible win rates lmfao. I dont get why people who are being ranked higher than they should continue to get lucky and get carried so much. I guess they just turn their brains off and just team fight and eventually win game cuz you can't defend once someone gets baron. But fuck man I miss when even in silver macro made a huge difference. It does but not like it used to. Loved never fearing losing when enemy was ahead because could just clear waves for days and split and idk just fuck with their terrible macro. But now I am forced to actually like take shit fights because if I don't and my team dies I'm fucked and game over.

Anyways..... will match making ever now be shit? I know deep down it's a no.... but fee like you not even trying anymore.

I'm just waiting for someone to come in and say that you're the problem, not the matchmaking. Never mind the fact that you've played for 10 years and KNOW there were times when matchmaking wasn't so god awful.

In my case it's balance dev team. Havent seen biggest idiots in gaming industry. They are worse than H1Z1 (now Z1) devs

The writings on the wall, the dev team couldn't fix this mess even if they wanted to at this point. Best find another game.

What you described is not shit matchmaking... shit matchmaking is being in S2 promos with a 60%+ w/r and getting a B2, 32% win rate, 0lp sup main as your ADC.

I have made a post about this awhile back too. The thing is they look at all low elo players as trash with no skill difference. Everyone would wait longer to not get the B4 vs S4 lane matchsups but they just don’t care. I mean I wait at the longest 1:30 to 2 mins for a game. I would easily wait double to triple that for a fair match up in all lanes.

Your matchmaking looks pretty consistent
