MMR system is rigged

ionst0rm·4/21/2018, 10:03:38 PM·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

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?

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

logged in just to downvote this fool.

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

Flaming rarely works. It's a terrible solution.
