I keep getting the same idiots saying the same thing, now you guys might argue i'm a stubborn mule, the fact is if someone tells me something that's true, i'm not stubborn, i'll research it and i'll consider if i accept it or not. now matchmaking being fair is the biggest load of bull i have ever heard. Everyone keeps telling me it's just you bla bla bla, and I keep telling them they are stupid. now i've played a lot of league games, and I can say if matchmaking doesn't want you to win, you are not going to win. because if you do it gets worse until you lose and cannot win at all.

you think i'm lying, unless you have a team, they will lower the quality of the players you get and raise the enemies quality until you cannot carry. i mean you may be going 31/10 feeling like you are amazing, next game you are 10/40, what happened is it took note of how good you were and shoved it right up your (insert bad words here) and now you are stuck in silver, fighting platinum level players (platinum being the highest actual tier in the game because to get to the other tiers you have to invest money into the game (arguably gold is highest but i managed to force my way into plat by 1v5ing the gold players harder than my teammates could feed them) )

now I've come to accept this, honestly i want to get to bronze as fast as possible because I want fair games. and based on what matchmaking has been doing to me i'm already getting bronze players so hopefully it will atleast lower the enemies skill level. so that's my goal, get to bronze this season so i can enjoy easy games and feel like climbing.

I feel like the heart of this post is "there are some games that are impossible to win", to which I reply with a quote a wise man once told me:

40% of your games you'll lose, no matter what you do. Look for what you could have done better, but don't dwell on it. 40% of your games you'll win, in spite of how bad you performed. Be grateful for the win, but don't count on them. 20% of games will be decided by your actions. Give them your all.

so I'm having a blast. i'm trolling people banning things like taric telling them ima urgot or jinx bot and that i need cs for boots xD I dodge at the very end before the game starts so i just have as much fun as I can until then. i also include that I like to go bare so i leave my runes and masteries empty for the natural feel.

because it's the psychology of spending. When you spend money, your chances of winning increase. When this happens, your brain releases dopamine and associates winning with spending money and you keep playing. The more you play, the more you begin to lose so in order to reactive those receptors, you spend money. Then you win a bit more but then you start losing. It's a vicious cycle to keep the average person at a lower elo so they spend money.

This is an actual algorithm for generating money. It's in every game. Magic the Gathering was the first game to do this with their packs to create an addictive gambling effect. World of Warcraft with the random item drops. Same thing. Now everyone does it. Hearthstone. Same problem. League of Legends same thing.

Try playing 25 games within two days and see what happens.

If you play too much for free then you get punished for it if you're not spending money.

When people lose, they gotta keep playing to make up for their losses but when they keep losing they want to feel better so they spend again.

It's a psychological trap. The shitty thing about online gaming.

games are all rigged. get above 50% win and you will always get at least 1 afk. lol is matching system is a joke.

If you win 50+% games, you'll climb and get better and better opponents until you go below 50%. There's a reason you gain more LP than You typically lose for win/lose. It's designed that way in that a 50% or above is a climb. You climb until you get to a point where you stagnate at sub 50%. Then you stay there or retract until you completely stagnate. You stay there until you get good enough to hit 50 again.

Look, you can pretend it's not your fault. People are entitled to their wrong opinions. You can pretend high ELO players have the money to bribe a multimillion dollar corporation into raising their arbitrary rank. You can pretend the game is rigged against YOU 1vmany because Riot simply doesn't like you. You pissed someone at Riot off and they sit there, monitoring your games and when you queue, they search for poorly performing players and purposefully match YOU, 1vmany, with them just so they can have the satisfaction of seeing you suffer.

Stop being ridiculous and play the damned game. Watch the pros. Watch redmercy, he's super informative when he plays. He's high diamond. He literally narrates his thought process as he plays. It's radically different than mine as a gold 3. His is better, he accounts more for risk, knows damage of the champions better, and knows timings. That's why I'm gold 3 and he's diamond. Does he make mistakes and fucks up bronze style? Yeah. Those are outliers. He doesn't consistently do those so he stays there in diamond. You think he writes checks to Riot so they can keep him there? Cmon, say that to yourself and try not to scoff.

I'm gold 3. I'm no pro, but I'm no silver or bronze. How did I get here? Think I have it in with Riot? No. I play, I get better, I either carry or contribute heavily and I win. I also fuck up, I don't roam correctly, I don't ward properly, I go in stupidely and I prioritize champion damage over CS in lane often. That's why I'm not diamond. Not because Riot has it out for me, but because I'll play zed in lane and blindly W-Q-E for harass, damaging the wave and missing most of the cs, then have no W and overextend and get ganked and die. That's why I'm gold 3. I'll go and try and steal a blue buff with no wards, and the jungler and lane will collapse and take me out. That's why I'm gold 3.

But, I don't blame the game for where I am. I acknowledge my retardation and my lack of proper course of actions in game. That's why I'm not bronze or silver. I don't blame trolls, afks, bad players. I see what I did wrong, and I work on it. That's why I have a gold border and a free skin.

Keep blaming Riot. You'll stay in bronze or silver in your self-righteous, delirious world. I'll be here with the others honestly trying to climb.

why does the person who called the lane get banned because of the trolls who refuse to acknowledge a lane was called and go to that lane anyways, causing unbalance. they ruined the game, then report the person who actually called the lane and get them banned.

Welcome to ranked, nothing new to see here.

If your goal is really lowering your rank so you can have fun, i suggest you just play normal games, because ranked is not for you.

I couldn't get through it to be honest. It was so sporadic and had no consistency on how he was trying to convey his point. God Bless the American Education System...

they really need to take previous season into consideration, almost every ranked game ive vsed people who were high gold or plat the previous season with a couple like that on m team (borders are a giveaway) and the highest ive ever been is s5 so now im having so much trouble climbing because no matter how good i am near my own level i cant compete with people who were plat or high gold its stupid

Riot controls 100% if you are going to win the next game or lose it. Only an AFK can change that. This is the bedrock of how the game works. Riot wants full control of all games to balance it as they wish. It's totally unfair to the best players, but Riot knows they are addicted and new players need wins to get addicted. Yes, this game is analogous to a drug and Riot is the pusher.

Make it more fair Riot, by scrapping this system and match people only at their level. It would make all games close and more fun for all.
