A rant that has some form of purpose.

I've been playing for quite a while, but honestly . . . I have to say this seasons match making system is without a doubt the worst I've ever experienced.

I have no idea how you guys can single handedly give me countless stacks of multiple auto fillers + have extreme mmr differences across teams to the point in a plat 1-d4 game there are d2+ players with gold 4s in the same game. Don't even get me started that just about every single game has 2-3 high diamond+ smurfs with a few scripters and then one legitimately boosted player and then a random guy whose mmr is so low how he's even here is questionable since he's not even a smurf.

Everyone I run into is joking about it and calling it fucking coinflip queue because it essentially is. If you don't have a duo you're basically asking to lose because the skill differential between players is extremely high to the point the challenger Riven one trick is up against a gold 2 first time Jayce.

Also why are you stacking multiple people with . . . I don't know how but these players are on 15+ losing game streaks and you stack them all together with me ON TOP OF THEM BEING AUTOFILLED ((It's fun having 4 Riven otps on the same team, trust me)) and then the top lane Riven OTP doesn't get her pick because the enemy challenger Riven OTP got it. Then my mid laner autofilled Riven OTP gives up on life and first times Yasuo and goes 0/13/0 in lane

I get to play 3-4 games a day if that anymore . . . and one of them is me always being autofilled and I dodge that and get banned out two of the other times usually and the game I do get my champs I get to watch every single laner be horribly out classed to the point there's essentially nothing you can do. Now don't get me wrong, this is happening to me a lot, but in the same exact stroke I'M EXTREMELY BORED of doing the same exact thing to opposing teams. Even when I do win, it is not enjoyable in the slightest because I know I'm winning because these players in all actuality are probably legitimate d5-4 -P5-1 players and not the massive horde of smurfs/scripters I fight on an every other game basis. So, I basically just roll them over and don't even try. Even when I do go up against people of my skill level it basically just boils down to who has more autofills on their team because in the land of one tricks if two players get banned out you auto lose. To make matters even worse is the fact there are not enough bans so you basically have to decide if you want to roll the dice and fight Khazix Rengar Graves

OR do you want to fight Camille Leblanc

But even if you ban those. Guess what man

Caitlyn Zyra Malzahar EMBRACE THE FUN I just love watching this ungankable lane shove my bot lanes turret down into the dumpster since for whatever reason they always pick

Vayne TahmKench This stupid crap and go "I have no idea what I am doing, so I'm just counterpick myself and complain about my jungler =D. Ima report you too, even though you don't say anything so that we can maybe get you banned/chat restricted since the automated system punishes you based on how often you get reported on a game to game basis, and not if you actually say anything =DDDD, and since we all run into eachother all the time, it's tons of fun to do!

I'm sorry, but I will gladly wait 20-50 minutes to get into a game if it means I don't have to play coinflip queue and forced to play broken champions just to climb, and even when I do climb, I am not having fun at all.

To make matters worse, I am so sick of seeing D2 Janna players sit in a bush and do nothing, and then cry once the enemy bot spikes at level 2 and all ins me when she could be pushing so that won't happen, to make matters worse, they then pouty push the lane and get it frozen at the enemy turret so I can't farm after they get FB.

.0042% playerbase?

An accurate photo of the avg player in that ELO

Also on a side note. Autofill truly wouldn't be so bad if rune pages actually didn't cost a fuck load of IP so that the avg player isn't pigeon holed into, well let's just face it, supporting against support role mains who have armor marks + flat health seals + mr blues + w.e the fuck quints they run into my autofill support that has . . . 3 pages exclusive to Yasuo/Riven, and he's on Soraka because who the fuck plays Zyra/Malz x3. Oh wait, the enemy!

Before someone comes in and goes "RUNES DON'T MATTER!" I implore you to fight a high diamond OTP Leblanc player with flat armor seals and cdr blues, and then come back and tell me how sore your behind was from all of the penetration you just experiences. There's a reason every high diamond OLP has a page exclusively for Leblanc/Zeds/Talons/etc it's because if they don't, they're going to have one hell of a time, and autofill makes this extremely painful because a lot of people do not have enough pages/IP to buy lane specific runes to entertain autofill, and so autofill actually not only takes a player out of their comfort zone they're incredibly used to, it also takes them out of their rune pages as well, which is essentially starting your laner around 3-5,000 gold behind the person who mains that lane. This diminishes match making even further, and the higher up you go the more noticeable these tiny little things become.

I am really sorry, but something desperately needs to change about this game at a core level, because if it does not these glaring issues are going to be the bane of this game as people get better and better.

Additionally, we really need KOREAS scripting banning program because I am so sick of watching these stupid players get called Gods when it's extremely obvious they're scripting, but they use really subtle scripts so that nobody notices and unfortunately a lot of players are stupid and think scripting only applies to aim hacks and dodging scripts.

There really isn't a TL;DR. I'm just getting really frustrated with a lot of core issues with this game, and it's becoming quite tilting and unenjoyable.

Anywho, sorry I blew up.

Made a similar tread yesterday it didn't get any response though

but it comes down to the same problem

im gold, although i havent ranked in years, so it happens down here just as badly so no it is not the player pool being smaller up in higher elo's, at least not necessarily it really is the worst matchmaking algorithm in the history of human existence

See the solution here is to play normals. Rotating game mode. ARAM. You need to take some time to remind yourself that this is not a sport.

Lol I just made a thread about how the IP cost of runes is inhibiting peoples ability to fill a few hours before I saw this... My post got no response. Guess I need to shout more.
