@Riot Gameplay and Matchmaking.

InfinitexMortal··5 votes·559 views

Riot you just keep killing your game more and more without ever fixing any real problems like the clearly one sided matchmaking.

After constant rigged games where everyone on my team is on a losingstreak and everyone on the enemy team is on a hotstreak. The games starting 0/10+ with my team barely able, or sometimes unable, to take a single turret. I can no longer stomach playing your "competative" slot machine of a game.

There is nothing competative about this game anymore. You control 1 dice in a game of 10 and the outcome is cheated by matchmaking rigged to keep you at a 50% win/loss ratio.

And simply your game has become too irritating and toxic by your own hand Riot. You seem to have no idea what you are doing "balancing" random things just for the sake of saying you are doing something and changing the game for no legit reason at all. Meanwhile matchmaking has been getting continually worse with your more team based and less solo based changes. Giving me 2 or 3 autistic players that can't keep there death scores under double digits, refuse to protect towers, help with objectives, or simply play the game has driven me to hate playing your game. Why the enemy team is at or above my skill level yet my at least 2 to 3 of my teammates are autistic I will never understand but I'm done with it.

Delete my account, ban me, do whatever you want for me calling out how rigged, broken, and bs your matchmaking system is I don't care anymore. Been playing since season 3.. somehow survived all of your horrible design decisions since the... but at last I can't take it anymore your game is turning me mean, toxic, and violent out of pure frustration at the matchmaking.

OR you are hardstuck because you are unwilling to improve yourself and instead rather blame your team and the bad bad matchmaking.

Yep, that sounds more like the truth.

Honestly after how many thousands of hours I've spent, how many videos I've watched and how many guides I've read I really doubt I can "improve myself" much further. Not saying I am good or think I am good and not complaining about being "stuck".

Just stating that I play the game to play with and against players at my skill level and when the matchmaking straight up refuses to give me teammates equal or at least close to my same skill level or gives us enemies far above our skill level it is beyond frustrating to try and play the game and take it serious in the slightest.

Challenging myself is fun i mean come on my favorite game series is Dark Souls and that game has never once made me feel irritated like League does because in league your personal skill is only 1 out of 5 of the w/L and when they can't keep up even remotely it is frustrating to say the least.

If you are not complaining about being stuck then why are you complaining about at all? If you know that you will not climb anymore then why do you care at all if the one guy in your team is on a losing streak or not? Or if the enemy Xayah is a bit better than your Twitch? What would that change for you if you know your rank will not change anyway? And please stop with this "it's frustrating to play against better player" well okay then maybe either get better yourself or stop playing the game? Are you expecting the game to always hand you out easy enemies to get free wins? The problem is that you are already in the shiettiest Elo that exists, they can't really give you any worse enemies because you are already fighting the worst.

And if you would actualy look at you own match history you would see that you were always placed with people in your own skill region. I checked a few games and you had always the same elo in both teams or sometimes even higher elo player in your team and you still lost. Riot can't do more for you then that. Ofc you will not have to completly equal teams all the time that is just how things go. In real sport turnaments people get placed together that should be around the same skill level, but that does not mean that they are 100% equal in skill.

no, its a teamwork game you Drunk, he was doing well but his Team dragged him down, so he basically DOES have the right to blame his teammates. I dont know why people dont get that, They say for you to Improve, Get better, when really if he did got better, It WOULDNT MATTER, if his team is gonna drag him down.

Haha dude are you my new fan or why do you comment on everything I say? :) You can spew out this excuse as often as you want it is still not true. If you are good you will climb if not then not. I had horrible teams all the time and still never had any problems with climbing. But what do I expect from a hardstuck low bronze player who thinks Hecarim is broken x) But don't worry I forgive you your stupidity as you seem to be not older than 13 years old.

Is 'uncreative' supposed to be an insult? And if I should have an account or not is not your decision.

I don't use his Elo as an insult, I just told him that his assumption of beeing good is in fact wrong if he is in a lower elo with a negative winrate. If you see that as an insult then probably because you know it's true and know that it would be correct aswell if used on you.

Since above me are only Diamond, Master and Challenger player it would ofc be wrong if I use their elo against them since they are the Top 1% of the playerbase. So why would I use the elo against them in the first place? Situations where this would be possible would only occur if a Diamond player for example called out a Master/Challenger for beeing bad and you tell him that he is worse by being Dia. Have not seen such a case yet, so no reason for me to say such a thing at all.

Think before you write, you make a fool out of yourself right now.

I've been playing this game for 8 years on and off, I'm pretty damn sure the matchmaker is designed to create winning and losing streaks.

I honestly believe that there is a psychological reason they designed it that way. Both winning streaks and losing streaks make people keep playing.

The best way to have fun is just play with a 5 man premade because you can largely avoid any shady matchmaking bullshit. The only thing the matchmaker can do at that point is inflate your MMR if it wants you to lose. Well in that case, rise to the challenge by doing strategy talks with your team, research, practice, just be as tryhard as you can, and tell the matchmaker to do its worst. You don't have that option in solo queue since you get new people every time.

So basically solo queue is cancer.

dude you are saying match making isnt good cuz you face people on winning streaks?

what is the over all rank and mmr of those players vs your team?

i bet its pretty fucking close..

just looked at your op.gg

your last 3 games ... every one in those games are lvl 30-bronze 2

i say that is decent match making. and in your last 20 games you are 10 and 10 so 50% sounds like with a 50% win rate in last 20, 50% win rate over all in rank that you are matched with players right were you need to be for your current skill level

Oh, his Rank!!!, yeaah, The only thing that matters is his rank. when its a percentage, it means his chance of winning. And what if one of those games he was doing amazing. but team Drags him down, basically gives him the right to blame his teammates for the loss.

jwebb01131 votes

right cuz its always someone else fault for a lose ... never the person making the complaint

and he is matched where and against he should be... considering his rank and the rank of players he is playing against.

its not like he is getting teammates that are worst then him playing vs a team of plat + ranked players

it is all bronze vs all bronze so as fair as match making you can get. im sorry you couldnt understand that
