Why do Riot only care about Diamond+ players

GhostOfTsushima··1 votes·373 views

Like honestly why?

Diamond+ is the only elo that Riot help prevent them from getting que with Bronze to avoid fucking their MMR up

While Gold and Plat have to still get que with Bronze and Silver who just fuck over our MMR

My MMR right now is fucking shitty I will admit that, its so fucking shitty because I keep getting que with Silver 5 and more and more

These kid don't even know wtf their doing or how to play their Champion

Even when my MMR was above average I was getting these Silver players, and when it drop to Normal MMR, I got que with even more scrubs

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only telling myself that If I manage to get away from this Gold elo, it would prevent me from playing with this silver players. But nope, when I got to Plat, my chances of playing with Silver were much higher.

Every Plat players got to Plat for a reason, but still can't avoid getting que with the Silver elo

d5 players mostly play with plat players fyi. i've had many troll accs that i dropped from d3+ to d5 in like a single day. the average d5 game contains plat players.

You cant match people more than like 4 divisions below you unless your mmr is garbage and if your mmr is garbage is you own fault for losing games none elses even if you were to get fucked by the system you still should have the average win 5 lose 5 that the system promotes aka you will play with people your own skill level. And IF you are indeed matching with lower elo than you it should be no problem rolfstomping your way to higher mmr.

oh and another lil fyi if you think all diamond players are somekinds of gods you are deluded i get more trolls in high elo in comparison to when i play in low elo accounts.

People are matched with people of around the same mmr, and rank has nothing to do with it. If you're gold ranked and getting matched with bronze players, then it either means you have bronze mmr, or they have a gold mmr, or much more likely a mix of both (i.e. you're both mid silver mmr).

MMR is the best estimate of skill level though, not rank, so if a gold rank player and a bronze rank player are together in the same game, theres a good chance that they're equally skilled, and it's quite possible that the bronze is actually better than the gold (perhaps even likely, since the bronze must have a good winrate to be matched with silvers/golds, while the gold must be consistently losing to be matched with silver/bronze).
