I had a beautiful game this past weekend. RIOT a suggestion....

I wish all games were like this. I played with a Jinx. She got brutalized in lane by Caitlyn. But she never fed.

She played safe. Farmed. Even joked. Waited. Played safe. First tower happened early. 2nd tower soon after.

But she never fed.

Then it happened. She scaled into late and we won. It was a beautiful game and not because we won but because nobody on the team fed early making it a joke of a match.

It's so rare to have a game where people don't feed because their egos are too big. I am positive most games are clown fiestas because people don't think strategically but instead just push and over extend and try to bully to a win. Sometimes it works other times it fails but it's certainly not what I would define as strategy. I do wonder sometimes if age plays a part in this playstyle.

I don't mind losing but losing because someone goes 0/8 in 10 minutes is not enjoyable or something I consider fair on me as a gamer trying to win.

Games as enjoyable as that one are like gold dust. That was a 1 in 200 game rarerity and I really wish all my games were like that one. We almost lost it was razor close but both teams gave 100% and played intelligently.

RIOT perhaps you should start factoring in deaths during lane phase into your MMR calculations because I am positive this would reduce gamer rage as people begin to get matched accordingly. You already hold the analytics on deaths and locations we can see this from game histories so I am sure applying these deaths BUT only from lane phase I add......would really help filter the playerbase better in matchmaking leaving a healthier more enjoyable experience for us because those less prone to being impulsive and making mistakes would be filtered from those that are not.

Thanks.

You are the only constant across all of your games. Attempts to adjust MMR for anything beyond Winning and Losing is a farce.

Not really. If you get matched in several games with players that hard feed bottom in this ADC Meta your MMR suffers because you don't have much influence to turn that advantage around which means a loss and a drop in MMR.
