Ranked matchmaking is a total joke.

Anyone that thinks the way this game balances matchmaking is "fair" is delusional. What about being matched with people that are clearly worse at the game than me, but matching me against people that are better than them all, fair? Every game I lose now is because my team is horrible, feeds, trolls, ints or afks. I'm no longer taking any responsibility for losing games because they simply aren't my fault. How am I expected to climb if EVERY GAME I have teammates that either don't give a shit, don't know how to play, or don't want to play? You really think that blaming myself will magically make games winnable? You really believe that this matchmaking is fair? This is a total fucking joke. I'm tired of playing knowing I will lose, regardless of how I play. I don't know what hell I inflicted on people over these years to deserve this, but this just feels fucking cruel.

Anyone that defends this and says I "deserve this" is completely fucking unworthy of responding to.

Looking at your op.gg I hate to say it but your problem is not your team. You have what I like to call nasus mentality. Your kill participations are almost always under 50% but your farm is high. If you wanna carry you have to be more active around the map even if it means you miss some cs especially when your really fed or really behind. If your fed use that power to lane swap with a struggling lane and go crush them to alleviate the pressure off them. If your really behind you need to roam and try and gank other lanes usually mid since your a top laner or if you know your stronger than the jungler invade him and fight him as long as you know where the rest of the enemy team is at. Be more active around the map especially if your playing someone like gnar as your ult can be a huge fight turner. You can look at my op.gg even if I'm feeding or my lane is losing I still roam and try to make plays and help other people get ahead even if it means fuckign myself over and dying to give my mid laner 2 kills. I try to keep at least over 50% kill participation in my games even thought it isn't always successful. I'm not the best player so i cant give you super indepth guides into improving as I'm only bronze 3 myself this season dropping from silver in season 6 due to some very unfortunate placements which were my fault as i fed my ass off in most of those games so i stopped playing ranked near the beginning of the season 7. Ive been grinding normals trying to improve my overall skills before i attempt ranked again next season. RIght now my biggest flaw is warding as i tend not to ward enough which is why I'm moving to the support role since one of my main goals is vision control. I have bad games too but i don't always blame my teams unless its cleary them doing something that they shouldn't be doing. Watching replays can really help you see things u might have missed in games and help you try to improve. Sorry for the lengthy reply but hope it helps.

At this point, I doubt they will fix the matchmaking system. It's intentionally unbalanced and forces losses on win streaks by matching you will feeders/afks. Then when you finally get to promos, they make you autofill when need the next win to advance. Classic.

It is pretty broken. Rarely do I have close games. Either my team wins hard or the other team wins hard. Literally just had a 1/11 mid Viktor on my team vs a 20something/low Kat. The matchmaking is a joke which causes a lot of toxicity in this game. Not that I am excusing me being rude to a player, but ya, wtf why am I paired with such garbage?

farming is important, so is how much u help out, there is a balance in how much u do that is good and what is bad, too much farming neglecting team mates is bad, too much "help" can also be more of a pain or simply just mean u're in the way of things, and ofc those players can be worse than u, but why are u only putting ur focus on that they absolutely have to be a worse player than u are?

u're saying its all or nothing, we never said that, that person above said what u did was getting a good amount of CS, it was never implied that u should stop farming and only focus on helping team mates, but rather that u should chill on the farming a bit and also give a little bit of ur focus on the team
