Simple matchmaking adjustment...
Stop matching me with "high plats and diamonds" on my team who then proceed to start the game off 0/2 and then hit me with a loss of 15 LP. Your matchmaking system feels worse every year. I had a 63% win rate not more than a week ago in 3s. Winning games was no sweat, right? Then all of a sudden you dump a few random high elo players on my team who play worse than intermediate bots. Constantly. Like, 8-9 times out of 10 they're the worst players in the game. And you give them to me. Why? So you can saturate my winrate with these idiots? Excuse me for playing well.
You know what your system feels like? It's like being in weight training, starting off with small weights, slowly going up as you progress, then all of a sudden they drop like 2x45 lb weights on you and then tell you "oh, I guess 5 lbs was your max after all." That's the gist of how LP gains/losses seem to be determined. Gains of like 33 LP and 10 LP losses are a thing as of 5 days ago. Now I'm at +22 - 15. It's honestly not worth the fucking hassle beyond gold so I can grab my free skin and ok-looking border. It'd just be nice if Riot could actually DO something beyond acknowledging that "o well, our system isn't PERFECT
, wait till next season! :)"
