So what is the counterplay

To getting pit against platinum players and having them rofl stomp your games?

inb4 "its their mmr not their rank" Yeah its actually not, as long as the teams total mmr is kinda somewhat close you can have daimonds vs bronze. (which was my last game, poor guy) But by all means tell me that the people that are always carrying games are just coincidentally the ones that are high ranked.

Just about at the point where I'm gonna start playing ranked for fun just because I don't like recieving so many auto losses in normals.

I tried to carry myself with Top splitpush in Flex, but after a good streak into B2 I started getting "Golds/Plats" in my game. Needless to say I was useless in lane and could not hold my own at all. Eventually it went down to high silvers, still was too fast a jump in lane.

I was tired of it, so I went to support. And I have been fine now, I guess maybe my MMR normalized to low Silver. But it was hell for a few games. They were the first games where not just me but my whole team was losing every lane. One time I got a Plat on my team vs golds and he still lost (doesn't help the argument here but true).

I don't know what happened there. I am glad it seems to be better, of course now I almost always play with teams which I am sure what helps. I want to get better, but going from easy lanes where I can farm and freeze to suddenly hitting lane bullies who completely poke me out I was done. Definitely not saying I am good, but that is why those games sucked. Because I was bronze playing vs people who were clearly above me. Even if I felt like the lane was going fine, I never had an advantage they were just free playing and easy lane.

I just dont see why i should have to carry low silver/bronze vs golds most of the time. Its fucking rediculous and makes normals unplayable.

Because this is a team game and both teams are evenly balanced.... oh wait carrying doesn't make sense.

The matching system is pathetically bad because they keep mixing high ranked players with low ranked winner and handicapping both with losers. Until Riot fixes it, these types of complaints will never cease and the player experience will suffer.

Yeah, its kind of dumb. Also doesnt help that i play alot of support, so im normally first timing alot of top or adc champs against them.

normal game matchmaking threads? really? there were diamonds on both teams in the game youre talking about because they both most likely were premade with someone else. happens.

the matchmaking circlejerk becomes more ridiculous every day. soon we have threads about aram and custom games matchmaking
