Conflict between serious players and trolls

Die Hard Trynd··2 votes·527 views

I have been playing this game for 4 years, maybe even more. The only thing that makes me mad is the fking matching system. I am a serious player, all I want is quality game, and this god damn matching system always match me new players. I mean I have more 1600 normal wins, and few hundreds of ranked wins, and this matching system still groups me with players with relatively less experience OR WITH INTENTION TO TROLL.

THIS MATCHING SYSTEM IS SO WRONG

How can the matching system sort out people "with intention to troll"? It can't read their thoughts or messages, and certainly not their "intentions".

it matches you with people that are by no means close to your game experience in therms of games played, but to be fair a lot of people have quited league so... whatever.

This is irrelevant to my comment or my point. It's true that a lot of people quit league. It's also true that league is still the most popular game in the world, but that doesn't mean it's for everybody.

I can understand your frustration, but the matching system works based on MMR. If your MMR is low, you are going to be matched with players seemingly less experienced. And as Grithok stated, the system, nor anyone/anything else can identify intent to troll. It's literally impossible.

true pain for srs people I afk few games because of the frustration, I am the victim, not those trolls. Fking trolls result in negative experience to me, and I just leave and get time punishment. THIS SYSTEM IS SO WRONG

I'm sorry but if you afk because someone trolls, you are NOT the victim, the three bystanders on your team are.

It is stupidly set up to ensure you stay right around .500 win rate. It's not only about MMR because if it was you would never get people on your team way below your skill level. It happens all the time. You get a good win streak going and sooner or later the system is going to fuck you by sticking you with players way below your skill level. It is the most asinine matchmaking system I have ever seen in any game. RIOT won't admit it but it's one of the root causes of toxicity. IDGAF what anyone says.

Yeah low elo ranked is really bad because you can only climb when there's no nubcakes or deliberate griefers.

I don't use the word troll because offmetas get called that and usually its the not-offmeta person that's the troll for losing the game on purpose.

In ranked, I totally agree trolls are bad. In normals, I honestly don't care. I can see how it's fun to do some stuff (not necessarily intentionally feed, but try new build or do something that might seem stupid).
