Matchmaking shouldn't be this problamatic
The problem with matchmaking is that it doesn't queue you up with players with similar stats and win rates.
As a Gold II jungler, I shouldn't be queued up with people below Gold IV or any higher (at the most) than Plat IV.
I think that duo queues have something to do with this. My most recent game included a silver II ashe and a gold II vel koz. Both were queued up together. Despite being four divisions apart they somehow managed to queue up with a plat IV top, along with me and my Gold III friend.
The imbalance of match making is causing players to have relatively low win rates. Matchmaking should be comprised of:
- Winrate similarity
- Rank similarity
- The amount of games played and 4) The positions that are mostly played by each individual
Matchmaking shouldn't be this problematic in League of Legends. Being queued up with a plat top laner and a silver adc tells me that there are more problems to matchmaking than I thought. It also states that I could be potentially on the verge of a significant decline in ranked.. which I don't want to happen considering the rank I have worked really hard to attain over the past four months. If matchmaking stays like this it will cause many players to be hard-stuck in a rank that they might not belong in.
