Im breaking up with you riot

After hour and hours and hundreds maybe thousands of games I am still in Bronze. This week you matched me with the worst team I have EVER SEEN in in the 2 years I've played this game in ranked. Your match making is awful. Everytime my MMR gets high you give me the worst teams imaginable making it IMPOSSIBLE to climb in ranked. Look at my teammates in my match history and tell me wth I was supposed to do with them? My final game I am 2/2 my teammates are 1/5 1/5 1/6. W T H?!?! I couldnt even farm my lane because both bot laners were just leabving lane to gank me! Anyways, Ive made these posts before, but this maybe the last time. I'm breaking up with you. I am 35 and I have money to spend on this game. I am the type of player you want to keep. Your matchmaking makes it IMPOSSIBLE to climb in ranked! I started playing bot lane this season because I noticed that is almost always where the problem is. After I started playing bot I started doing better in ranked over all. But it doesnt matter. If I win too many games in a row you just give me uncarriable teams until my MMR tanks again, rinse repeat. I can hold my own vs gold and plat players. I can and I have. Yet I can not climb out of bronze. This game is full of trolls, afks, and just plain nubs.

  1. Why do you let brand new players start at silver 5 only to fall through the ranking dragging down every team they are on?
  2. Why do you let people treat ranked mode casually? Why isn't it harder to start in ranked mode? You let new players play in ranked and they drag everyone around them down. They make the game unwinnable!
  3. I am so sick of 1 sided matches. Your matchmaking metrics are garbage!
  4. You have no instructions for this game. People fundamentally don't understand positioning, farming, teamwork, or how or when to take objectives. Most of the people in this game seem to treat it as if you win by getting the most kills, and don't grasp that they need to take objectives and the nexus. They spend most of the game headhunting and ultimately cause their teams to lose.
  5. Fix your ranked mode! Stop letting new players in! It should be exclusive to serious players! Hell I would pay a small monthly fee to have a ranked mode for serious players. I'm so sick of children and nubs just playing ranked casually and ruining games! I would prob pay 10$/month just to have an exclusively serious ranked mode. Instead I'm quitting this game! I have deleted this from my comp. I think for the last time since summer is coming and Im not trapped in my house by the snow anymore.
  6. You need to take people like me seriously because we are the ones spending money on the game.

How did an autistic 7 year old find his way to the boards

Dudes like this are the ones you need to get rid of Riot. Trolls are all over your game! You need to be serious about getting them out of ranked!

I mean I agree with all your points except the fact that it's someone elses fault you can't get out of bronze. I could get out of bronze one handed. Buhh yes this game is in such a shitty state its insane.

Try it.

I often go 15/2 or something to that effect, take multiple towers maybe a drag or two have decent farm ect. But for every 1 success I have my team will fail 3 times. It impossible. I've played enough games at this point to where I can actually predict with probably 90% accuracy which games will have a good team and which a bad team. If my MMR becomes higher than average for my rank within 3 games I will start to have uncarriable teams and I wont haver another decent team until my MMr is atleast below average again. This will happen 100% of the time without fail. And after playing probably thousands of games it is very statistically valid. It also doesn't matter if I carry or suck. I can hard carry a game and get 4 feeder nub teammates and lose or I can just suck and be carried. The odds that I win or lose are more strongly influenced by my current MMR and how it compares to my rank than my actual playing. My playing matters too, but it just matter less than what I just said. It is VERY consistent! Riot just keeps denying their match systems crappiness. They always claim games have 50% chance to win, That maybe so based on their measurements, but that just means their method of measuring is very flawed! Which is why matchmaker is shit!

And another thing. You might be right if I consistently felt my opponents were outplaying me. I rarely lose lane. I VERY RARELY feel like my opponents are better than me, or that I lost a game because they outplayed me. That really doesnt happen. No typically, I lose because of my teammates. I lose to my teammates. Its not my opponents who beat me, it's the nub toxic trolling teammates I get paired with who beat me.
