After exactly 9 years...I quitted this night. I just can't stand it anymore!

I am Bardo Bard·4/14/2019, 2:50:05 AM·39 votes·9,244 views

Hello people,

one of my name is Bardo Bard and after 9 years, I just quitted this game.

It was a hot summer day in 2010 when I heard the recomendation of League of Legends. I just stopped playing...MapleStory...eh....but one of these MapleStory players, a decent guy, mailed me about LoL. I loved it on the instant as my first character was Tristana. My account name was Zedek back then, which I lost my password too (account name is still known) as the password I use got truncated due to length and I forgot the trick I used to remember when it actually stopped (as I just typed in blindly into the censor dots). This is one of the first screenshots I took, in September 2010:

I had so much of a blast that bought the DVD box version of the game. To buy Firefighter Tristana with the code on back of the manual as there was only credit cards available in "Season -1" and this way I could get some RP. https://imgur.com/PiVNp4B

I've seen everything: We had to report manually to Zenon the Stoic via eMail, I've seen the 3 hours of login queues in 2011, https://imgur.com/78Nrn84.jpg

[See my login is "IceTea2010" and my super-long, limit-exceeding password^^)

the server split, I fought the long Tryndamere ulti, the until-death Oracle potion, Xin and Olaf release.

The game has a great artstyle, hence my Bard Bard account, I love the new Morgan and Ashe. LoL has this unique feature of simply talented artists. I despite those games that look like DC Comics, like Captain Americas and Wonderwomen...well, at least only a small share of them. I have bought Merchandise - nothing I regret as I love the style: https://imgur.com/VJ7W1ht.jpg

But tonight, it really made me go on an unhealthy spree. Not the first time, but this time it was the straw that broke the camel's back. I was on a losing streak, very stupid games. Happens, next game will be better, right? Nope. They got worse and worse.

I am sure many people op.gg check me anyways, but here you go: https://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=I+am+Bardo+Bard

I tried to win one more game before going to bed. Now it is 4:20 AM. I need to push the SCRAM button. Quite a matching metaphor! During my loss streak, I went AFK once because I just... you know, could not endure this [No, Morgana, I won't any longer!]. I've been ACE twice. Should not happen, but it did because of my absolutely atricious trash noobs.

When the game says "MATCH FOUND", I expect it to find something. The "Matches" consisted of me getting absolutely trash noobs, beginners with Heal and Ghost vs Level 150 and Level 106. (You can look up those games yourself, the Level 106 was Kai'Sa in the last game and the other was Diana).

I will explain the last games: Before I do, I counted the dragons: The enemy did 13 dragons IIRC, My "teams": ZERO! My so-called junglers did not a single dragon in 6 games straight.

  • The first agme consisted of a mix that was winnable. You see the bars in op.gg. Except that we could not get any turret. I was smiling this game off. I was ACE.

  • The next game, I had a 0/7/0 Riven that was a beginner. The enemy beginner is 11/00 and has a OP score of 9.1 Which is - Wow. "Could be a smurf". Is most probably a smurf. His account was last updated November 2015 before I did. Okay: Me: "Bad luck". Try again!

  • This game had me tilted so much because my Ziggs left after dying. My premade bottom lane (sending me top, but man, that is the fate of me) went unsalvagable 4/14. We would have lost it because of a Bad Ziggs and a bad premade. So 75% of my "team" are absolutely useless. Mind me: This was my first loss in a row. Should the matchmaking not start to work now to see that I need help with worse enemies?

Nope: Next game, my 4th loss:

  • Enemy consists of a 5-premade!! My guys are all random. Yes, the 6/13 midlane, and the 3/16 support. Do not get fooled by Yi, he just started bobbing by being Yi, not by being good. So, my 4th game I had to face this Level 150 Diana (ironfetiman) in a 5-premade carrying them and I get 3/16 bottom laners.

Okay, the "matchmaking" found another "Match":

  • This game was kinda close, but after a while you think: "Hey, where are the enemy leavers, the enemy feeders, the enemy feeding premades, where are my junglers doing dragons or my 4-premade steamrolling soloQ bobs?" My games are always close "matches", losing is done within the lobby already.

Alright, next game, the "matchmaking" SHOULD find me a game now that is actually a match, with "fair and competitive" games - that is what RIOT says (and their support) in their matchmaking FAQ.

  1. I have a Heal/Ghost beginner again, premade with my bad "ADC". Total bottom lane was 4/15, I was ACE. A G A I N! Absolutely noobstomp champs like Yasuo are usually useless when on my side... Dunning Kruger? No. Fact.

The last game I thought for this night, I will win this...

  • After going 1-5 within short amount of time, I ALT+F4ed. My Miss Fortune is a heal/ghost beginner noob again, enemy consists of a Level 106 which actually did terrible considered the results. However, they Level 7 Ezreal did it. I see they had 3 dragsons, we zero, and zero turrets despite having a VAYNE and a MISS FORTUNE.

Total dragon count on my side in these 7 games: Zero.

None of these games gave me actually winnable situations. I found myself put at top (and being ACE!) because my guys want to to their stuff. Fine. I am happy with that.

But now, I gave up. My Master 7 Bard with a fine KDA (means I do not die, I contribute by kills and assists and lots of wards), I pull my weight, but being given either absolutely trash feeders or 5-premades made me come to the conclusion that the matchmaking is rigged and manipulated.

If I can't win like that, why would I bother? "Oh, you are good, here you get this 0/7/0 Riven". Oh, you lost? Well, next game: "Here you get bad noobs and a 5-man as enemy".

As anyone with a bit of education, you can not explain this. Either the matchmaking is rigged or the MMR is useless, or both. Or the MMR is useless BECAUSE of this bad "matchmaking". But surely I should not go lose and lose and lose and lose and lose and lose while retaining a fine KDA and, yes, I repeat it one more time, go ACE as AP Bard like this.

Skill does not matter. I could roll dice and get better "matches" - and rolling dice would say equally much about my skill. Nothing.

I wonder why you people keep playing this game. With a rigged "matchmaking" like this, it's like playing with a bribed referee. I've lost 4 hours of my life in a free-fall "matchmaking" that is the pure description of ELO Hell: "The more you lose, the worse your mates get". A real matchmaking would softly drop me. And not kicking me further into the mud with noobs and premade as enemies.

I am looking for a real game now, with a real matchmaking. I started to play STYX again, the stealth game about a foul-mouthed goblin. And when I steer my killer goblin into a pit or die anyhow, I still laugh and have fun because it was my fault. Dying in Styx means more fun than "playing" LoL. Go figure.

EDIT: There is another EU West user called Zedek, but since I could not login, I lost my name during a name purge. So that is a different player.

You go heal ignite dark harvest bard every game, normals are random, by definition it's going to be bad matchmaking

DUDE

Just untilt man, it's not that bad.

Your setup is very good for snowball games, you take dark harvest and buy items way out of a supports price range, that's okay, but understand that the game's probably lost if you don't snowball, and that's your fault dude

21 upvotes by 20 minutes, 17 downvotes on a disagreeing opinion by 7 minutes...

Not suspicious at all.

This seems crazy dramatic for pre 30 norm game loses... especially since you either dont know how to actually build ur champ or u were trolling those games. U didnt even take flash, and u went dh, and idk what those items about.

BigFBear4/14/2019, 4:36:37 AM15 votes

Dude, there are fucking MANY games where you obviously went afk after 5 minutes in game. Sry but you seem to be this whiney, salty guy who blames his ADC everytime and then just go afk, shitting on your whole team and leave them with 15-20 minutes of frustration. Obviously you dropped into Elo hell with this kind of behavior. You know: Normals have MMR too. I bet you are on rock bottom of Normal Elo. Like Iron 4 in Ranked. Ofc it's totally disgusting there to play because you play with other players like yourself: whiney leavers, and ragequiters. You even say in your post that you went afk in one of the last games. Well... obviously it is your typical behavior. #I count at least 10 afk games in your last 35 games (some even with lvl 1!!). That's almost 1/3 of your games!! WTF! Actually I wonder that you weren't banned already. You would have deserved it.

I am happy that you stopped playing this game. It's better for everyone. Obviously you can't handle it and you make it a bad experience for everyone else.

P.S. And then you even have nerve to say: "skill doesn't matter" and "matchmaking is rigged". Gosh I hate people like you from the bottom of my heart. You have no "skill" you are just bad af! I don't even know how it is possible to be THIS bad at something you've been doing for nine years! You don't even pick Flash, rofl. 9 years but didn't understand a thing.

P.P.S. Also learn how to build Bard if you can't handle your off-meta build!

You: "Matchmaking is bad, I only get noobs on my team, matchmaking bad!" Also you: heal/ignite Bard with dark harvest who also goes afk frequently for some reason?

I have zero respect for people like this, people who comes onto the boards, and say one thing when you can easily prove the opposite of what the person is saying.

For the record, I saw that you said "you didn't need flash back then". Flash was even MORE broken back then so I don't even know what you're smoking on that one, surely you remember that you could DISJOINT attacks with flash?

Playing normals with a troll set up and complaining about matchmaking. Wtf.

I really understand those people that complain about matchmaking in ranked games because it’s dog shit since the last changes to decrease queue avg time.

This behaviour of lets flame league on boards is why riot doesn’t take this place seriously. Just do a favour to yourself and delete this thread

Kulle Aid4/14/2019, 3:15:20 AM7 votes

I mean if u have that box set u have black alistar right? or one of those super rare skins? I mean if u have those id untilt and flaunt those. youll get compliments out the ass.

MasterDClone4/14/2019, 5:41:05 AM7 votes

you had me in the first half not gonna lie. but no shit your teammates are noobs lol, your account level is 23 and your clearly a smurf so it matches you against better players naturally you cant just start flaming riot for matching you with noobs if you're playing on a fucking smurf lol. It isnt rigged matchmaking but you're smurfing at like level 23 so evreything is the way it should be. Also if you afk a third of your games i can see why you're not having fun

Just a shitty RANT thread upvoted by the bot who is trolling boards since a while.

TengenToppaGnar4/14/2019, 3:40:23 AM6 votes

This should be in RANT, since your build would be considered non-meta trash, and you're also in Normals, so wtf does it matter? Not like you're getting put in Ranked and getting these people.

rECatherine4/14/2019, 3:22:56 AM4 votes

He should just stop playing normals and find a duo / 5 man to play ranked. But i'm guessing this guy is a #ForFunGamer

I didn't read any of that. Just. The past tense of quit....is quit.

If Bard was the only character I ever played, I'd quit too.

It sounds like you just burnt out. I really hope you don't quit for good. Is it ranked or norms you are playing? I literally never play norms because of how inconsistent they are. And I always feel bad for support mains.

I know this is kinda old post but I just wanna say a point. you can't win every game specially in normal mode since most people will try new champs or they don't take it seriously and actually your quite noob your self taking heal and ignite as supp I mean who are u trying to ignite any way I prefer flash and heal as a supp, since you didn't reached lvl 30 you can't play ranked you should have patience and work hard once your lvl 30 try a ranked and I dare you if you find people trolling. One thing that bothers me when you said why you people still playing this game, most people enjoy it just cuz you are quieting doesn't mean we should quit too
