[RANT WARNING] URF Matchmaking and Champions are killing the queue.
Lets talk about why I severely dislike playing urf. From the start, urf was meant to be a relatively "fun" gamemode, which where champions that were too op were nerfed to fit urf. This was only done for ryze to my knowledge. Jinx and to an extend Caitlyn, and countless others(jinx and cait are most prominent) can spam infinite soft cc, with jinx e covering large distances and applying an EXTREME MS debuff, to the point where her next E is guaranteed to hit, and it continues.
This is at level 1, most likely you will be a lower ranged champ(Jinx E can cover from bot tower to other sides bushes). Within thew first 30 seconds to a minute, you either have the choice to hopefully get an early game roflstomp, or die horribly and int the game(unless your YI, at which point press r for ez 1v5 with spear of shojin). Most of the time, you will be champions that you have never played, never will play in the future and never wouldve suited your play style.
Then your team starts flaming.
Imagine this; Your against a 4/0 jinx(at medium skill, lets say she doesnt hit her e always) at 1 min 30. What will you do?: Options include; Csing(nope, will mostly always have a second backup in the form of a meele, very rarely does this not happen, however if she doesnt and you have some sort of cc you can get early kills and outfarm) Switching Lanes w/ a ranged champ on your team (This is a weird one - Jinx will either immediately win or lose this trade for the rest of the match, its vary rarely back and forth past level 3, when she gets her root and q) Hopefully getting a roam from mid/top if one of theirs roams for free kills early(This happens quite alot, especially if they are premade w/ jinx in a clan. Exploit this if you have cc for a free kill, you may not get jinx but you should be able to take one of them with you) Continue to int and try to outscale as your team flames you(This is the most common option, as other lanes will deliberately let you die, troll ect if you switch lanes.)
My point is - There are VERY little strats available to counter just Jinx, and thats just with her taking her E as her first ability.
Her q is also extremely powerful, with it giving her huge DPS for no cost(No mana costs because yes)
W is pointless l1 unless strong meele with cc like jax or panth to further cclock(usually WILL take font of life to support their meele)
That was just one champion. There are many others with cc like this(we havent even covered soraka and infinite silence, this is less of an issue though, or malzahar, whos W will literally eat your tower in 20 seconds at level 2).
My point is - many champs are blatantly unbalanced beyond what was considered "OK" by old urf standards. While steps have been taken towards disabling items and rune pages to stopper the absolute fuckfest from zzrot ect, it doesnt really matter when they have only changed Ryze(as far as I know, correct me) to have a lower CC, where other champions have much more infuriating stunlocks (like blitzcrank and malzahar to name a few)
Most of the time this is ok, as thats just the nature of urf, and while infuriating, we are already seeing balance tweaks towards certain aspects.
Now, Onto matchmaking.
Its fucking appalling, putting it simply. Almost every game, the enemy team(and sometimes your team) will have a premade with either a smurf(ban evasion/new acc to troll lower levels) and a main account, which can range from level 70-300. This isnt too much of an issue USUALLY, until you get to matches where 2 premades exist.
Last match, the enemy team had a level 185, 24, 23, 103, 163.(level 468 in total) Our team had a level 92, 26, 28, 30, 24(level 200)
They had a goddamn 286 LEVEL lead, not to mention they had a mastery 7 Draven, and a mastery 6 Vayne, both of which were twice our level at the highest. This is a goddamn demonstration on how fucking broken your game is riot. Where the enemy team can have a 200+ level lead(in this case a 2.5x+ higher skill level) and STILL GET MATCHED AGAINST LEVEL 20s.
This isnt due to me using an alternate account and doing well either, people are having the same issue all across of urf.
Its time to fucking wake up Riot, matchmaking issues are blatantly killing the queue, as you cannot even try new champions without the enemy team having masteries, better knowledge and skill than you do by a LANDSLIDE.
"Oh it must be a one off occurance" No, its really fucking not at this point. Every single fucking game. Every. Single. One. I have had a smurf/ban evader/level 100+ in it as a minimum, if not many more. This is genuinely pathetic as mentioned before. This isnt even just for urf either is it? Ranked is having the same issues, Silvers turning up in Gold, Gold 5 in Diamond 2. It really is time riot start fixing their fucking game, instead of releasing new skins for the champions that make the big bucks(Yasuo, Evelynn, Ahri) - to name a few
3 seperate games, 3 seperate lobbies(except my premade 30 friend, hes not smurfing and is quite bad sometimes)
My alt is Cheat Engine153, mediocre score recently but if you check op.gg and those contained within, level 50s, 100s ect.(region is euw btw, hmu if you want some keks, i memebuild hecarim ect) The list goes fucking on.
Reply what you think, and any other cancer experiences from having people 4x your skill level deliberately dragging themselves down through having friends in smurf accounts(for both ban evasion and for fun).
(as a sidenote: THIS IS REPORTABLE - DO NOT DELIBERATELY CREATE NEW ACCOUNTS TO DRAG HIGH LEVEL PLAYERS DOWN AS IT RUINS THE COMPETETIVE NATURE OF LEAGUE AND DESTROYS FUN ON BOTH SIDES WHICH IS AGAINST LEAGUES RULES.)
