MMR system is rigged

ionst0rm·Apr 21, 2018·7 votes·2,080 views

Getting real tired of the MMR system and that lie riot put out about fair games being 50 +/-1% of pairing. Can someone from riot please explain how i haven't lost a bot lane in over 100 consecutive games now yet every game i have hard feeders? I feel my only choice left is to hard flame those players i'm being paired with as I've yet too but feel it's now necessary until this is corrected. Can someone from riot please explain as well how a player goes from plat/diamond back to high silver/low gold elo?

I'm truly fed up with this. Someone needs to contact me and get a resolution to this as this is surreal. Endless players with sub 5 vision scores 30 minutes in the game, 0 forward jg proximity, no objective rotation/control ect... I feel as if my only option is to have my friends who's master tier play on my account and stream on twitch to show that this is rigged. No matter your skill cap, they'll pair you with others who don't understand the basic of macro to this game.

As a support main the past few seasons i'm one of the most down to earth people but it's at the point of I have no choice left but to start flaming if riot wants to put players on teams they shouldn't be on.

The system is not rigged. The algorithm is just broken.

The player in this iteration has smaller agency than last seasons, this means the MMR is hugely influenced by luck. Along with the stupid decision to place new players in silver ELO this has created the shitpool that's the current system

High ELO players don't experience this problem silver ELO is horribly unbalanced

Broken Algorithm maybe. By Riot placing New players in Silver ELO right there shows its Rigged.

Riot wants to make the Climb as hard as possible without making your quit. Its the whole Rat pulling the leaver game theory. They dont care if you are not having fun or miserable, they care that you keep playing and will buy a skin.

Silver is HellELO because of this down flow of New Players. You then stack on top of that the Mid season Hard stuck Plat/Diamond players Smurfing in Silver to make themselves feel like they are good.

Both of these makes Silver the most Toxic ELO to play in. Matches are 90% of the time not fare in the slightest. Climbing is just LUCK in Silver.

Thank you! Someone else gets it as well. Exactly what I've learned in my law classes and this is simple business. The harder you make it for someone to accomplish something, the more they feel they have earned it and will spend money on this game. It falls back to the childhood story of "don't force someone to take their coat off, make them feel warm inside until they take it off themselves".

All games on are replay. Would you like me to format and save them for you to review? Look at na.op.gg and see my kda on supports compared to win rate followed by looking at players on me team. Vision scores, CS ect...

You're right. You judged me based on a complaint I have to a company who's product is faulty for what I've paid. Set aside I'm a veteran, set aside i volunteer in my community, I'm a licenced referee in my state. If you'd like to question me on ethics and morals I can also notate to you what I studied into my secondary education?

Since posting this I've played 3 games

A jungler who chooses to farm krugs (we're blue) while 2 of opposing team were bot, 1 was dead and remaining team was coming to baron. 30 second death timers. Got aced from him farming those into raptors into finally coming with team.
4 Players refusing vision. All 4 had sub 10 vision scores at 33 minutes in the game. Not a single pink was bought. Upon asking enemy team, lowest vision score was 22. Great matchmaking riot. Great job.
Top laner overextending (red side). No vision in tri or river bush, hard camped from opposing jungler. Our jg kept farming touching only a lane once.

My only other route is to consult with an attorney as riot has broken their terms of service negating our acceptance of a class action. By accepting money for this game they are liable to litigation and i'd happily dive into my 401k to fight this.

If a riot employee does see this

refund all my money so i can quit this game
fix this algorithm.
You keep dumbing down the game (dragon timers, buff timers, recommended items) taking skill away from one position in this game. What do you expect when you do this? Do you expect more players to play because you're making it overly simplified?

After consulting with someone, I will now be tracking my time lost in life and this game when i'm paired with players that clearly shouldn't be playing with me. I'm definitely going to continue to flame them until you fix this. I'm still firm on a ban or restriction and I pursue litigation and open options up to a class action. I will bill for my time for each of these games. How often in higher elo do players continue to feed and not understand matchups and when to play safe and just farm until help comes and even the most basic of buying wards. Just had a game where 4 players wanted to chase kills instead of objectives and got outscaled just as i told them we would. I'm not kidding around, I will total my time lost on a weekly basis and i will be sending a Bill to riot until someone contacts me to fix this.

If you need takers for your suit let me know...Riot lies day in and day out about how the game works and the mouth breathers believe them

Flaming rarely works. It's a terrible solution.

Yeah, it's rigged so that if you win it goes up and if you lose it goes down. Lol

Pretty sure some of the posts above were paid by Riot to brainwash the others LUL

RIOT owes you nothing
file a lawsuit and watch the judge (if it even gets that far) sanction you, impose court costs and attorney's fees on you, and laugh you out of court
