forced 50% winrate

why the hell am I always expected to carry a team of 5 idiots when I have a 51% winrate? I swear Riot is always trying to give me bad teammates whenever I have above a 50% winrate.

I played 2 games that were nearly identical. Both of them had an ally Thresh, both of them I completely shit on my laner and got multiple towers, and in both of those games my team fed the enemy team's assassin so much it was impossible to win.

I don't get it.

EN-forced. The system doesnt keep you at a hard 50%, it tries to keep you at 50% by giving you better or worse team mates depending on if youre above (worse team mates) or below (better team mates).

I'm 67-70% Win rate this season, and about 4 of my 19 were forced errors, choosing champions I shouldn't have, and 1 was a friend getting bugsplat the entire game and turning a Gold /High Silver game into a 4v5 with a smurfing Plat + Yasuo.

In other words, I really could be 72-73% right now.

My advice? Don't play just one role. Don't play someone who you "like" in deference of "someone who creates problems for the other team."

The more games you play, the closer you get to 50% due to how the rating system works. You win more up to where you belong then stick there 50/50. Once you get better you win a few more, then back to 50/50. Goes in both directions like that. The exceptions are basically the .01% at the top and bottom.

Basically doesn't matter how good or bad you are unless you're in a .02% demographic, the more you play, the closer to 50% you get. It's simple math. I don't get where the issue is though? It's humans vs humans, they can't exactly throw other humans under the bus to go easy on you and throw you a bone. If you want that, you're gonna have to go single player with easy difficulty settings.
