Ok, not gonna lie. I feel lm complete trash. I'm currently being matched with a lot of gold some silver and some platinum. I'm probably maintaining a 50% win rate but I don't deserve to be. I try my best not to die, try my best to get farm but always suck. What do I do? I enjoy the game when I play well but get tired of constantly high deaths.
I see many comments like this. The problem is not understanding that Number of K/D/As or winning percentage is not the measure of your skill. It's MMR/ELO.
ELO, the basis for MMR is designed to match you with similarly skilled players (MMR) and it is expected that your win rate is near to 50%, because you're playing people of your same skill. As you get better, your win rate will improve to 52, 54, 55% but then your MMR will improve and you'll get matched with better players according to your new MMR. Thus, your winning percentage will come down to 50% +/-, while still at your new ELO .
Number of K/D/As or winning percentage is not the measure of your skill, it's ELO. One could have a 50% win percentage playing against beginners or against Challenger payers, it's your MMR and competition you face which reflect your skill.
yeah last season i was in silver 3 (i stopped very early last season as i took a 8 month leave of absence from league)
when i came back for season 6 i was demoted to bronze (because preseason always demotes you) and because of dynamic que i decided to climb back to silver and not bother going for gold this season.
as such i play mostly unranked.
now either because my opponents are not playing champs they know or for some other reason.. the vast majority of my games i am getting matched with 2-3 gold 1-2 plat with maybe a one or two high silver.
i may only be silver 5 in ranked because i decided to quit ranked during season 6.
but for un-ranked i am getting teammate and opponents who are ACTUALLY the same skill lvl as me (when i play the champs i main) . so much so its gotten to the point when when i tried to go back to ranked my team was so bad compared to my unranked teams. my expectations of my team following up with me or doing objectives was so off compared to my much better teammates in unranked. ended up me getting a lot of unnecessary deaths because i thought my team would help with the 5v3 instead of leaving me to fight 1v3 when i engaged and they backed off.
I don't know if you get what i meant, I understand the basics of mmr and achieving a 50% win rate. What I was saying is that the mmr is working fine except, I don't deserve to be playing with the people i am. I am definitely playing with people whop are overall better then I am.I don't care so much about k/d but i am a little on the feeding end of the spectrum. I would just like to occasionally have good games/ bad games/ games i carry/ games i suck. Not just constantly me being the worst on my team.
