"While we know some matches may feel like stomps, we do try to make sure all teams have a 50 +/-1% chance of victory using all the information we have"

Thats what matchmaking should do. Teams get matched equally. If you are actually performing at a level higher than your MMR, then you will have >50% chance at victory.

The thing people complain about is that they think Riot will give them less fsvorable odds if they win some games. People think since they won, the next game will be stacked against them 40/60 which is not true. That is not what is described in your quote. If you win, you will get a fairly matched game the next match.

The issue with matchmaking is that humans are extremely inconsistant. A person can go 6/0/5 one game then 1/4/2 the next. There is no way to account for this in matchmaking period.

No What they need to do is get rid if MMR

My Rank is all the should matter.

If Im in S4 then I should be matched with S4 players.

If they win then then gain LP and move to S3 where I will not play with them anymore until I get to S3.

If I lose 1 game or 5 games my LP loss should be the same as should be the LP gain for a win.

The game would even out VERY quickly and I would know that that for the most part The people on my team should be there. Unlike now where in silver they are flagged as S3 but are really B5 or that S2 really is P1

The Current system is so broken its not funny.

I agree. No matter how hard i try i get matched up with people with very low wr in promos or when i am in the 90 lp ranges. I still have a 56% wr but i cannot climb. I had a 59% wr about 20 games ago.
