Riot, I want an answer on this matchmaking... ?!?!?!

option paralysis··7 votes·1,052 views

Are you actually motherfucking kidding me ? How the actual fuck was this gonna be a balanced game ? That kayle isn't a smurf with higher mmr, even he wondered what is he doing in a diamond game, he said he lost promos to diamond 9 times and now you put him in MY TEAM, while the other team has full diamonds ? ROFL and the game before that was an 8 mins open mid because my top laner INT-ed. Now I got a 1/9 draven who died every time he got into lane with a plat 1 top laner ? LOL yeah nice matchmaking, I was never this close to uninstalling league. Only thing keeping me in this game right now is that I swore I'm gonna get challenger this season but I'm thinking now this shit isn't worth it. I feel so fucking bad after these games when they are so onesided, and then you see it was lost in champ select because riot's matchmaking is a JOKE.

It's totally normal that plat 1 get matched with low diamond. Besides, are you actually blaming the kayle? while you and your adc got destroyed 2/12. It might just be me, but I think everyone in your team lost to the enemy. The little rank difference there wasn't the reason.

He has an excellent point its not like the kayle went 0-10 it looks like your team just lost a game and you're choosing to blame it one someone else since it seems like the lane you were in was the one that got most wrecked maybe instead of blaming riot and the kayle work on your attitude.

where did he blame her ? Hes saying its a injustice that this kayle plat is put into a diamond match in her promo and draven and kayle are about the same rank but the rest are diamond 4 or above so they all went far into this division . So kayle and draven are only newcomers and this is wht hes pointing out .

I don't believe the kayle was in promos he simply says that kayle had lost promos to diamond and while he doesn't outright say that the kayle cost the game he does seem to imply that she had something to do with it

actually the game was always unbalanced, your team or your enemy team always have better players, it wasn't like this years ago because it took far longer to reach lv.30 so we were able to acumulate experience from that exp curve, riot ruined it.

we now have lv.30s playing like lv.10 players match making this season is so toxic you always have one side with 10-16 deaths within 10 minute mark, how is that any fun to be honest? it's not like they wanted to feed on purpose it's just that they aren't in the right league..

people need time to learn but reducing exp curve just means you end up with worst lv.30 players than there already was (considering some people already got carried to lv.30)

in the end we have lv.15-20s that reached lv.30 without any experience join ranked because it just sounds cool, all they did was make elo hell deeper, i wouldn't be surprised if those diamond.platinum players are wood elo that got carried.

matches were so much fun back then when the teams felt equal in skill, now it's just a who has a better team wins, no outplays no comebacks. it's so unforgiving to the new players.

the teams are pretty fair dude, 1 player being slightly lower rank than you dosent mean too much, the inters, that's a different story, but thanks not something riot can really control, they can punish him for it afterwards, but they cant ban him before he does it.

"slightly lower rank", are you actually kidding me ? this guy failed diamond promos 9 times... did you try to do d5 promos and then actually crawl out of the d5 hellhole to d4, then crawl out of d4 hellhole to d3 ? don't tell me it's a "slightly lower rank".

Dia V is 1 rank above Plat I , Its slightly lower... if you have a gold III I can understand complaining, but 1 rank lower isn't a big deal dude.

I'm d3 not d5 and the difference from p1 to d3 mmr is like 200-300. and notice the enemy team didn't even have d5's, meaning the game was lost in champ select because of the massive mmr difference.

You act like it's kayles fault. Look at this draven with 4,2cs per minute.

It could be worst, I had a silver 3 player in my plat game

AMYS GRAVE2 votes

Oh please, i've seen far worse matchmaking than that. I played a game with a silver support main who got autofilled onto ADC vs a diamond 3 adc main. That game is absolutely fair in comparison.

I mean you are literally in elo Hell the skill difference between diamond 5 and diamond 1 is excruciatingly large and having a plat1 on your team shouldn't be that shocking in low diamond I mean depending on que time you could end up with a plat1 and diamond 1 in the same game. What you need to remember is that this has more than likely (almost certainly) happened in the reverse where the other team had someone with a lower skill level just keep your head down and keep pushing. It's just like afks and int's it sucks when they happen to you but if you looked through your entire match history you've won because of those people being on the enemy team. Statistically if you're not inting of afking you should win more because of them then losing them.

Still better than this 0/11/0 first time Renekton I had in my ranked game yesterday... http://matchhistory.oce.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/OC1/168444967/200842675?tab=overview

But I guess he had a good excuse: Renekton early sucks, and Vladimir early is OP, right?

Anyway, yes, matchmaking is broken. And I wonder why it happens in streak. I have streak with normal match, and then streak with laners who just get destroyed like this Renekton (all 3 lanes), because I guess matchmaking does weird stuff.

Sure when ever I complain that matchmaking is unbalanced as hell for having unranked/bronze vs golds/plats it gets downvoted like hell. But this guy complains about players who are 2-4 ranks under him and apparently the game is suddenly "so unbalanced and unfair". I get it that the higher up in elo you go the more significant the skill difference between ranks is. But come on dude, 4 ranks? And at a mid level elo no less? Seems balanced to me. Doesn't Diamond have a 1 division give or take anyways? So having a platinum 1 on your team should be fine.

This seems like just a bad game. Those happen from time to time.
