It is a joke. Because it's not fucking rigged.

Riot has nothing to gain from rigging matchmaking against you.

well all i know is that i went 8/1 and then it equalized to 8/8 before i started winning again, i had over 50% kill contribution and ace status in most of the games i lost.

I picked a number, I'v had 15 game win streaks......but there will be a time, where you notice the quality of your team dive......and then you get like 10 of those kinds of trolls/unranked/boosted players in a row....so it ends up being a loss streak....... It's like clock work and it happens all the time......you win a bunch, you lose a bunch......and you are the same person in all games.....hmmmmm.........and you do similar in each one, atleast in laning phase...before the opposing teams 10-1 or 8-0 kai sai start roaming on your ass and you think here we go again.

so my point is, it's not you that you are going up in elo and you are getting dumpstered, that I would be ok with. I'm playing better players and Im learning that elo, but when I still do well and its that your team feeds hard in these losing streaks, it's really frustrating...and usually it's you do fine maybe go 2-0 in lane with a 20 cs lead, at 10 min, but you look bot and their adc is lik 8-1 and your bot lane combined is like 2- 11....the reason I bitch about this, is because it happens often and is like clockwork....Sometimes, its unranked players, sometimes its gatekeeping trolls, sometimes boosteds....but you don't have the same chance of winning......

and yet, you dont snowball your lead against a clearly inferior opponent like this bot player does. Both teams seem to have a bad player, your opponent and your bot lane, but only one team has a player who knows how to take advantage of that bad player, and thats the one who belongs at his MMR or higher.

So you won a few games against new players, continued to win some, and after enough consecutive wins, matchmaking thought you were much better than your actually were. You got placed with other smurfs that were better players than you, and continued to go on a long losing streak while your mmr slowly dropped back down to where you're supposed to be.

What's rigged about this again?

being forced back into 8/8 and then winning next game while being the best player 80% of the games

op.gg saying you're the "ace" doesn't really mean anything. Somehow you were the "Ace" when you went 1/7 with less wards placed and less CS than the 2/1 MF.

How would matchmaking like that even work exactly? Do you think they purposely singled you out of all the other players who go on win streaks on new accounts, paired you with terrible players, and pitted you guys against challenger smurfs? This weird "riot is rigging games and forcing me to have a 50% winstreak!" thing is the most self centered BS.

oh this game the draven sup died once and then decided to troll mid so i went bot taken a sup item and then i became the support and then he decided to return bot so i returned mid, in fact i just got trolled this game and made it worse by trying to compensate

and no, i feel like it's a general bad way to try to equilibrate like when someone go on a win streak when he lost once, game try to test the carrying by giving weaker teammates for you to carry and i will keep doing until you win again and then matchmaking fix, you win streak again, when you start losing they test carrying and etc. i know, i observed it on my main and many others, but its not necessarily one carry player, it may have 2 but the rest of team will need to get carried

im sorry, you think that the leveling up matchmaking is rigged? To what benefit?

this is the most delusion ive ever seen. Ever think maybe your first 8 wins were because you were playing against level 1s who literally have never played before and now youre not? Guess youre not as good as you thought.

Well they do make it more difficult when you go on a win streak...you get more unranked players and it seems like people troll more with stupid supports or jungles....and it's consistent........you win 8 in a row and bam..........now you have to be like 4 elos above to win a game....it's really annoying......

literally nothing more than confirmation bias. A system that detected players who were planning on trolling or playing badly? Impossible. What exactly is specific about say an 8 win streak? Why not 10? why not 5? No, when you go on a winstreak your MMR shoots up until you cant handle it, then you have to play several games with an inflated MMR before it returns to your level, that is the cause of this so called unfair matchmaking.

It's definitely rigged, I also have a smurf account, was 65% win ratio, then dropped to 49%, started losing because of teams who were way too heavy, getting put with complete trolls, griefers and people on losing streaks. For 3 years on 4 accounts it's the same pattern: Rank up fast, go on a winning spree then start getting the worst teams to bring your win rate back down and make climbing harder - you even start to get less LP for your wins as you start losing more and more. Clever system meant to keep a certain demographic for their business model. It's no coincidence that on multiple accounts at around the same pattern in win streak / higher elo than given rank that quality of matches start to deteriorate. Currently on a 14 game lose streak on the account I originally had a 65% win rate in (yea win rate that high but lose so many unwinnable games where every game has at least one griefer who goes 0/7 or worse makes total sense and is in line with the statistics I have) Simply put, if riot wants you to lose you will lose - team game and if you have a shit team while the enemy has good players then you can't carry unless you're at least a whole division above everyone. Their smurf detection system adds to this.
