Fix the Matchmaking

This is suppose to be a team game. In the LCS it is, but for anyone just playing whether it's ranked or just normal, it's not a team game. I can go 21-9 and still lose.. because the people that I'm being matched with are not the same skill level. I just get a team that feeds, like 0-9.. I have over 800 wins, and I get matched with people that have around 400 or so. I've been matched with people that have just over 100 wins. How you expect me to win, when they don't even have nearly enough wins to have the same skill level. Fix who we are being matched with and not people that feed and troll all the time, and this game will be so much more fun when you don't have to deal with them. Put the feeders and trollers with each other. Let them all feed. Don't give me them.

TL;DR I care more about my score sounding good than learning how to help my team excel, Riot give me free wins.

MFW kids these days don't realize SoloQ isn't a test of skill, it's a test of patience.

Then people talk crap about you about your rank cause maybe your silver and they are gold. Giving you free wins does not help you climb in leader boards. If no skill is involved why truly play. Just to have fun? Can't when we get stuck with people that feed all the time. Or we get matched against higher ranked people like Diamond while only being in silver myself. How's that fair. Of course they probably better. How is that teaching me anything because right off the back I have to rely on my team to carry me making me the useless one. If matched when people with the same amount of wins or same Elo then we will have to be more strategic and work together and win. Like just played a game. Adc fed and they are gold. Looking at the match history, he either does good or really really bad. Why is he in gold? He can't even play from behind. I would try to climb, playing champs that actually require skill then I get stuck with noobs and I'm the one that isn't feeding while at the same time they blame me anyways. Is this game really about solo carrying your team? If so, it ain't no team game

My response was a summarized version of your long-winded post. I've hit Diamond twice in the past 2 seasons and decayed out last season because the meta became boring. If you're really as good as you say, you can smash lane hard enough to carry over to other lanes. If you're really as good as you say, you don't need other people to carry you. Yet you, like most people who play this game now, don't appreciate the fact that a rank is not freely given. People who play at the Diamond and Master level get there because they understand how to abuse mistakes and turn leads into wins. Don't become another sheep that is upset your ADC fed. You got an unlucky straw and what did you do? You took another role and were so obsessed that they did poorly that you let it affect your game. You LoLKing'd and OP.GG'd and whatever else to justify the fact that one player did poorly, rather than accept that maybe you didn't do enough, you didn't pull jungle pressure, you didn't group or ward in the right places, you didn't suggest that Thornmail is good against an all AP comp. I'll say it again: SoloQ is a test of patience. How much are you willing to dedicate to learn the game and earn your rank? If you're so obsessed that your team is just nothing but bads and not improving yourself, maybe you're the problem.
