After playing about 80 ranked games this season, with an overall WR of 50%. . .

And after being hard-stuck silver the entire time despite the fact that 95% of these games were gold-heavy, meaning that 6+ players were ranked gold on average in each match. . .

And after playing gold promos five times, for a total of 20 games, where I won (was hard carried, actually) exactly ONE of those games for a WR of 5%. . .

I can absolutely confirm this game is doing something to botch matchmaking and force wins or losses.

So, since I am good enough to play against and/or with Gold most of the time, I hereby give myself the rank of Gold IV. Please deliver my goodies when season is over. I am pretty sure I earned them.

Thanks.

A game with silver 1's and a game with gold 3 or 4's is basically the same. The hard facts are that you have a negative winrate (35% in the last 20 games), rarely break a 2 Kda and only have a 40% kill participation. You don't do enough to deserve a win and justifying your poor performance is your brain's way of coping with your inadequacy. You want gold, play better.

I maintained a winrate of 65%+ all the way until I hit g2. You aren't in gold because you're not good enough.

The Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

The Dunning-Kruger effect hypothesizes that people who are inadequate or bad at something lack the ability to see they are bad at it or the knowledge to see how much there is to learn on a subject and consequently grossly overestimate their ability.

This is the effect that explains why stupid people think they are smart.

Inversely, people who are good at something often underestimate their ability because they assume that because they find it easy, everyone else must find it easy. Or because they have the knowledge to see how much they still don't know.

LoL matchmaking and ranking system is a joke. Save yourself the stress, play normals. The rewards for playing ranked are entirely pointless anyways.
