i feel completely at the mercy of the matchmaking system

its really annoying. Ill have games where i try my hardest to win and still get utterly stomped on because EVERY single other person on the team is just totally outclassed (including me). And then ill have games where I can literally dance in the middle of the map and we'll still win.

It feels like the games are stacked much more frequently then not. Its so rare to have matches where its close, and even when you get those if your team makes one bad play in a team fight its usually the end of the game, which is super frustrating if you're on the losing side because there's 4 other people you have no control over. NO YASOU YOU ARE NOT A TANK DONT GO HEADFIRST INTO 5 OF THEM!!! lol

ANYWAYS. Am I under the wrong impression about the matching system, is it not able to tell how skilled your team is against theirs and balance them accordingly? And maybe i feel this helplessness worse than other players because i jungle 99 percent of the time, and get really irritated when someone starts pinging for help 3 minutes into the match.

i'm not gonna lie, I agree that the game has become too snowball centric, I'm not going to pretend that the MMR system is the main issue, I think it honestly has to do with the cutthroat nature of the game that has slowly developed over the past two seasons. If you mess up once in early game, you may have just thrown the entire match for your whole team, even if like... they're all doing fine.

I completely agree with the comment above me %100...but the MMS is still a problem imo. It seems that matches are often based on champion level rather than rank, which results in a very unbalanced batch of players. I see plat players playing alongside and against bronze now more than before.
