Why does riot insist on this garbage matchmaking. Not even close games either, they are complete stomps.

What would an acceptable ordering for wins and losses look like to you?

If your games feel like coinflips, that is evidence that you are being fairly matched. If you won all of your games, that would be evidence that matchmaking is doing a poor job of matching you, as you are significantly better than everyone else. Likewise, if you lost all your games, that would be evidence that matchmaking is doing a poor job of matching you, as you are significantly worse than everyone else.

Matchmaking isn't perfect but defining fair matchmaking as always winning your games is idiotic.

It's true, the only person who can carry you is you. Turn off allied chat. Pur on your tunes, and focus on winning 1v9.

That said, I do think Riot can be criticized for making the matchmaking unnecessarily random. I frequently see games where one tam has 2 unranked players with ~3 ranked games ever, and the other team has 0 unranked, 3 seasons of history. That should never never happen. Teams should be balanced for unranked / MMR confidence over role-priority.

Of course that will happen for and against you equally, but if 50% of games are just flip-flop games that cancel each out, that's a huge amount of time wasted into non-competitive games.. and not very much fun. Sure, if you're challenger elo you might be able to carry through that anyway, but otherwise, good luck.

The YoYo affect. Yep Its forced 50% win rate after your account has hit the threshold riot wants. No allowing players to improve just forcing it by putting garbage on your team and good on the enemy team.
