so yeah i reached diamond with 57% win rate then all of a sudden i get these garbage team mates in my games with win rates that are either 43%-50%??? And the sad part here is the enemy are mostly 53-56% winrate and im playing as a support i mean WTF are these match making? And to worsen it, i mostly get 3 adc main or 3 support main in my team???!!!! So from my 57% win rate im now down to 52%, this is actually tilting, tried to be patient and all, but WTF is happening with my games. Cant i just have a decent team who doesnt feed their lane then complain later on when they are the reason why the games are getting hard. AHHHHHHHH RIOT GAMES FIX THE GAME!!!

I feel you man. Not nearly at your level of gameplay, but I had a stint recently where I went from silver 3 to losing 14 games in a row dropping down to S4 and being at risk of demotion into bronze. I have literally had to claw my way back to promos for S2 losing 20-21lp and gaining only 13. It has been a hell of a journey, and my lp gains are still not back to normal. It dropped my Kat winrate down to 55%, and trashed any chance I had at having a decent winrate on anyone else.

Since games are mostly uneven, or one-sided, I guess it's intentional. 50% wr as much as possible. I'd call it a scam, at this point.

Riot won't fix it. Faster games are more important to them.

Because Riot forcing players average WR is true.

It has always been so absurd; idk why they think that 5-10 second queue time is better than fair matchmaking and every time I get to promos, they find the worst of the worst trolls, feeders, afks for the team. I too play support and it feels like even if you do the role good, unless there is no feeders you can't win.

The real enemy is autofill. You get 3 support mains on your team then you will 100% lose. You usually get adc main on mid lane, support main on adc, mid main on top lane, top laner in jungle and jungler on support and then try to fucking win. Even if you get your lane, your team is full of random people on autofilled positions. That is why matches are of low quality. Nobody knows what they are doing.

Soon you'll be one of the 43-50% winrate you're talking about ;) and your teammate will complain being matched with you, a low winrate player.

I say that, but I feel you. Last season I was platinum, as in season 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I transferred to EUW and got placed bronze. I climbed all the way to plat. I transferred to NA, and transferred hack to EUW a month later.... and it put me in bronze once again.

All in all I was plat, next game I was bronze, I climb to plat, and next game I am bronze again.

Now I am stuck in gold ahaha

Stop looking at winrates.

The matchmaker doesn't - and shouldn't - care about winrate. Win-rate would just encourage streaks to continue forever. "Go on a losing streak, congrats, you can never break this because all of your teammates are ALSO on losing streaks".

The matchmaker cares about MMR. That's it. Full stop. If I have a 57% winrate and you have a 43% winrate, but our MMR is at the same numerical value, then we're both seen as approximately the same skill at this exact moment. It just means that you USED to be much higher than this, so you're on your way down, while I'm on my way up... but at this exact moment, we're the same.

It's been bad for a long time now, but I'm not sure they'll ever address it.

If you reached Diamond 5, this is where your journey ends (like most of us).

Slightly related, my friend and I duoed. He put FILL. JUST FILL. I put mid and jungle. He got jungle, I got support.

riot balances out the game because you are too good and you must get some bad team mates kekekekekekkekk

Its not you, Its not your teammates, its not the enemy team. its this game that's warped your mind by their overfriendly attitude< which is unreal, no one is like that in real life> into thinking they care about you and your problems this game is bad. the people who started it sucks hence why they got the boot from dota because theyre greedy all they care about is your money and nothing else. this game has progressively downgraded over the years and still getting worse by the second
