Please Fix Matchmaking

It's just disgusting who I get put up against, and I'm pretty sure at this point Riot is genuinely forcing everybody to have an exactly 50% win rate.

One game, I get paired with Bronze players, the next, I'm up against a fucking Diamond player and his Platinum friends. I play at a mid Gold level, yet I rarely, if ever, get put up against so much as a Silver player.

Yes, I'm aware that matchmaking is supposed to "even out" as you level up, but this isn't my only account, I have another that's level 67, and it faces the same fucking issue.

Not to mention with matchmakign being as horrendous as it is now, the moment I get so much as a 4 game win streak, the system automatically starts pairing me up against fucking Diamond players, which forces me to go down, on average, anywhere from an 8 to 12 game loss streak before it "evens out" again. The longest streak so far was 17 games, 17 FUCKING GAMES, and it was because I was paired up against players way the hell above my elo. I got out LoLSumo, I got out LoLKing, and looked these players up, and in every game, I was paired against anywhere from Platinum 1, to Diamond 1 players, and in 1 of those games I actually faced a Challenger player. I was Gold 4 on that account, why the fuck am I being matched with Diamond players?

I swear to god, if Riot doesn't fix their matchmaking by upcoming preseason, I will genuinely, truly, quit this game. I've been playing for 5 years, and this is the worst season I have experienced.

Honestly I'd be ok with it putting you against better players, IF it didn't give you worse team mates at the same time. If it put you against better opponents, and with better teammates, there's a chance you'll learn from the experience. The only thing you learn from the current experience is how much you hate it wasting your time.

I peaked at a few games on your op.gg and it looks like you're playing against gold level players mostly. It doesn't seem like you have really odd matchmaking in your games. Outliers are always possible ofc, but you shouldn't be too bothered by that. Especially since normal matchmaking is separate from ranked.

The feels when you are matchmade with a level 5 who has only done bot games (lost one of them) despite you being level 25 in blinds
