Matchmaking, sometimes awesome, sometimes... depressing.

Tittle says it all pretty much, heres the thing... sometimes i have these amazing matches, with really good team mates, even if we lose theyre usually very even matches where we all have to sweat to try to win. then after a day of two of these really satisfying matches i start getting people under lvl 30 in my team or just trolls, or people who literally just came back from months innactive.

It happens everytime following the same pattern, im not a very strong believer in luck, actually i dont believe in luck... i think everything is a consequence of several decisions that makes a certain outcome be "our reality".

Now enough of philosophy, im starting to think its part of the system, the more victories you have in a row the worst your matching gets? like in an attempt to help "bad players" get carried by "good ones"?

In my opinion you were just unlucky; it was your "unlucky" time.

I mean, look at everyone's match history, at least under plat. How many games are balanced? About 10-5-3% (1/10, 1/20, 1/30) :D So, could be a matchmaking system intented to give you the best game possibile so flawed? In one of the most played games in the world? Of course not :D

Point is, there is (nearly) always one stronger team, and one far worse. You go, on average, one time in the (nearly) surely winning team, one time in the losing one. Why? 50% ratio assured; plus, faster queues and cheaper coding, I guess.
