MM Que'ing algorithm and Dynamic Que.

Just finished a game. Top asks me to camp it, so I do, get some kills, then starts flaming me for "KS'ing", proceeds to be teemo and invis afk, thus leading to me losing the game. Flash forward to end-game screen. 281 kills my team, including 2 people with 0 wins, against their team with 481 wins.

How does this not seem stupid to anyone at Riot? This is an honest question, as a person who has studied some programming, and has friends who program for respectable companies. How does the algorithm allow someone with 89 wins to get que'd with not 1, but 2 people, with 0 wins? Oh and this isn't new. About every 4-5 games, on average, I'll get AT LEAST 1 person with sub-5 wins on my team.

I'm about as mad as I can get at this point, and am joining the crowd saying that I'm not playing this game until there is a major shift in how it is managed, and community feedback seems to be acknowledged. As IMLS said, an LCS coach, "league is pulling a SC2, going from the top of the mountain, to the very bottom, because it's refusing to listen to it's playerbase".

Now to leave you with this tidbit as well, when Overwatch launched, KR's PCBANG game population of League dropped 27.5% in the opening week, and it hasn't recovered. So Riot's response? INTRODUCE A WAY TO BUY DISCOUNTED SKINS!!!! Because making money literally seems to be the only thing this company cares about.

I don't think I'm alone. Cheers M8.

I have literally gotten 10 bad teams in a row many times. Teams where every lane feeds and you're down 10-0 first 5 minutes and there is zero chance of doing anything. I recently dropped 3 whole divisions and during that streak I only had one "unbad" team over 20 games. I got 5 S ratings during that period despite being teamed with trash. I've also had streaks where the teams were so good I felt like I didnt contribute anything meaningful. The vast majority of these games had no premades. I have no idea how rito comes up with these matches.

Even if you win this game is almost never fun anymore, and I say this speaking as someone who's played since like 2010. This game will quickly die unless Riot decide to devout themselves to listening to their community. Riot doesn't have a clue.
