Why am i getting paired with people below 30? and a small rant on what I think of this game

So lately when playing league, ive been paired with people who havent even reached level 30 when i was a gold last season and a mid silver right now. Is this the other side effect of ranked right now? I gave up on ranked since balance in this game is completely fucked and dynamic just isnt what we want. The concept is good but the execution of it was just horrible. I know that no rioter will actually read this and take in the problem, but seriously. Skins? Over balance. Yes, I know theyre two different factions of the company but nothing will hide how you guys seem to focus more on money more than anything else. I used to play this game with pure enjoyment, but now I have to deal with feeders, unbalanced game mechanics and statistics, and just a feel of disconnection from the entire company. Honestly, Im really really tired of having to be a solo adc main. Someone who puts all their brain power and effort into winning and in the end seeing that same defeat screen cause the top lane fed, or the mid lane fed, or the support fed. I go to report them for shit talking me and blaming me on not going in with them, but they dont get penalized. They dont get anything actually. They get to just walk away and go play another game. Ruining another persons ranked streak, or promos. I was already getting sick of the feeders and all the other tiring things in this game, but now they're pairing me with people who havent even reached level 30? I have been playing ever since season 3. I understand the game and for one hard season I got myself up to gold with more effort than one should put in. *sigh, I know you guys wont care if I threaten you with the "I quit this game," cause honestly I know you guys can just refer to the other thousands of players that still play this game. So I just simply won't. I still want to love this game and have fun, but things are getting out of hand Riot. Its time to wake up and fix things up.

Maybe it isn't what YOU want. Don't include everyone unless you have statistical facts.

What's your point exactly? I got cnofused because you keep switching your argument. Either you are complaining about DQ, Skins or Balance; but you can't do all that at the same time.

Yes, I know theyre two different factions of the company but nothing will hide how you guys seem to focus more on money more than anything else.

I don't know what you mean by "factions" but I can tell you that Riot has multiple teams working in multiple projects at the same time: skins, game balance, player behaviour, marketing, champions, lore, finances, ... probably many others; those are just a few obvious ones. If you say that they only care about money, how come that stopped producing Chroma Skin when the community complained about those? They acknowledged that the strategy was not good so they stepped back. I can also talk about the Mastery 6 and 7. Albeit it's a terrible system, they still don't charge you any real money (RP) for it, since you can buy champion tokens for IP. Have you seen the RGM lately? How is that a pursue for money? How does the RGM directly impact sales in any way? Maybe it caters to players, but it doesn't directly impact RP purchases. Those are just 3 examples to refute what you said.

I used to play this game with pure enjoyment, but now I have to deal with feeders, unbalanced game mechanics and statistics, and just a feel of disconnection from the entire company.

How YOU feel about the game doesn't prove that Riot doesn't care. That's what we call "anecdotal fallacy"; you are using your personal experience to justify that Riot doesn't care (disconnection from the entire company). Feeders have nothing to do with Riot. The best they can do is punish that type of behaviour. "Unbalanced game mechanics and statistics". Unless you are talking about flavoured champions or "OP" champions, I really can't agree with you. Give me 2 instances where the game MECHANICS are inbalanced and how the statisctics are bad (I'm assuming you are talking about champion numbers here).

Honestly, Im really really tired of having to be a solo adc main.

No one is forcing you to play that role. How is this Riot's problem?

Someone who puts all their brain power and effort into winning and in the end seeing that same defeat screen cause the top lane fed, or the mid lane fed, or the support fed.

You won't everytime; get used to it. Theoretically, everyone should have a 50% winrate in a perfectly homogeneous envrynonment. What in reality happens is that some people have ~55% win rate and some have ~45% win rate, because some are better at winning consistently. The way the system finds you a game of equal chance of winning (50%) is a discussion for other time.

I go to report them for shit talking me and blaming me on not going in with them, but they dont get penalized. They dont get anything actually. They get to just walk away and go play another game. Ruining another persons ranked streak, or promos.

Toxic behaviour is penalized. If you are annoyed because you lost the game, that doesn't mean that it was your team's fault. If your teammates legitimely tried to grief your game, and they do that consistently, they'll eventually get punished.

I know you guys wont care if I threaten you with the "I quit this game" cause honestly I know you guys can just refer to the other thousands of players that still play this game.

That's not a threat and you are correct about the other thing; I don't care.

I still want to love this game and have fun, but things are getting out of hand Riot. Its time to wake up and fix things up.

Are we still talking about DQ or the "Unbalanced game mechanics" here? I would appreciate if you gave good arguments for the latter (DQ has been discussed many times so don't bother with that one).

With all that said. Here's a cookie for you item 2009
