Listen Riot, I understand you are attempting to balance out MMR and Winrate %'s

But when I happen to get 2 wins out of the past 15 ranked games when before then I was going fairly even, there is something wrong.

There's absolutely no reason as to why I should be forced to lose ranked games to tank my MMR and Winrate when I'm doing well, it's simply shoving something I don't want down my throat.

Please just match people with simmilar ranks with each other if we are going to keep this system, I'd rather not have to deal with losing 13/15 ranked games because there are a wide variety of ranks reaching from high plat to low gold.

-Sincerely, an extremely upset player.

(DISCLAIMER Yes, I do many variously different playstyles, and I don't take flash, but that isn't the reason I lose. It is simply because matchmaking is a pain in the arse, and it's getting old.)

Do you play perfectly every game?

MMR is a blunt instrument. Riot doesn't actually have fine control over games, they just match people.

The reason you've lost so many games out of the last number is born from the incredibly complex and numerous interactions between your team and what they're doing and the enemy team and what they're doing.

That's life for you, I'm afraid.

this is the luck factor in league of legends ranked. Being successful in the game isn't just based on 'skill'...its based on luck first, exploitation second, and then actual skill and knowledge of the game 3rd. Only the best players can really 1v5 if you have a shit team which is over 50% of the time. But don't forget this goes for other teams as well most of the time. Losing streaks are part of the game ranked or not. I agree that riot tries to 'fix' winrates however, there is plenty of proof of that and it sucks and is why I will never play ranked with the current model.
