Really sick of losing games because you get some scumbag with a 37% winrate that placed in gold(SOMEHOW).

? Youd still get placed in the same games. Unless youre in D1+, this literally isnt an issue. Youre going to be put in a game where the MMR is near yours.

Actually even in silver you can get matched against a team with rly high MMR difference (I'm talking about at least 200+ MMR difference, which isn't the rare case)

No, you get placed where your MMR is. If youre in silver 5, but have gold 5 MMR, youre going to play against gold players.

I would be willing to accept this.

I'm all for no dodge penalties. Could care less if it takes 1 hour for 1 game. Still it is pretty good to be able to always instantly get into game when you queue as support. Means you can grind out games faster and feed more.

Consistency is something that is supposed to win you games in previous seasons, I now find it loses more games because teams are more unbalanced. It doesn't matter if you are playing consistent, game isn't decided by you, it's decided by the worst player.

You can't get fairer matchmaking with longer queue times. People who ask for this have no idea how the matchmaking works.

You can't wait for an hour in queue and absolutely get a 50.000000000000000% for both teams with absolute best people in their roles. If you wait an hour in queue, you're absolutely getting lower rated people, possibly autofilled because the matchmaker needs to find you a team and clearly, no one in your ELO is available.

You can slightly; do away with autofill and you get people on both teams who are at least happy and comfortable in their role. I would happily have that, but I am a supp main so I'm kinda unaffected by lack of support players....

There's always room for improvement on matchmaking algorithms but there's also always room to go overboard. Personally, i find that many of the times i play League, i get my Primary most of the times and on an off-chance, my Secondary. Sometimes i Autofill as well. I don't feel like the matchmaker hurts me in some way, not even in terms of my match quality.

I agree but I am starting to believe Riot doesn't know how to create the program for fair matchmaking. This is why they still only go off of the caveman mmr or win/loss rate because that is the best they can come up with.

A theory is if they fixed matchmaking the right way and properly classified everyone correctly, que times would not change. There are over 20 million people who play and I rarely see the same name twice.
