Champion this, that and the third.. what about matchmaking?? ffs its terrible! i feel as though currently there are too many possible variables to lose when you got just that one _off _ teammate they just become too heavy to carry. Wins and loses only determining your skill is simply unjustifiable.
The problem isn't matchmaking, the problem is that the current meta isn't conducive to players hard carrying. The matches that matchmaking is making is already as good as any system can reasonably be for a 5v5 mmr system.
However, none of that matters when the meta is focused so hard on which of the 10 players happen to have an off game.
Na youre actually right but here's a good tip. I;ve payed attention. Riot trys to give us a 50% winrate. And they base this off how much each person feeds, instead of solely MMR like it should be. So if you KNOW, and I mean KNOW youre going to lose, start feeding. The worse you are performing, the more you "need to be carried" to get the 50% winrate in your next games. However, and Im pretty sure of this too, they only update who "needs to get carried" every 24 hours or so. This is why we have win and lose streaks- you can be deemed a carry and for your next 12 hours of games so you get stuck with a shitton of feeders and lose. So. If you lose a few games in a row, feed as much as you can IN THE LOSSES, and then, take a break. Dont troll your team tho. Also, dont try too hard if youre sure you can win. Get your hands dirty and die for the team. Example of perfect play: You go in, glass cannon, level them all to 50%, die, and your team gets 3 kills. So it helps you win, you get your hands dirty, therefor looks like you need to be carried in future games to achieve a 50% winrate you get stuck with professionals, and you win your game. Just keep in mind that the game only updates its analysis of how much you "need to get carried" every 12-24 hours or so. Respect the update time more than anything. Glhf.
Wins and loses only determining your skill is simply unjustifiable.
The fact that you have this in your text and you werent downvoted makes me want to KMS
It's important to note two things.
Matchmaking has always been absolutely fucking awful. Riot doesn't know who to fix it, so they just leave it as is.
Ever since the introduction of runes reforged, the game has shifted from individual skill to team contributions. Before, you could carry your crap teammates if you were good enough. Nowadays, it's virtually impossible, which forces you to rely on your team. This makes any disparity of skill between you and your teammates (and also the enemy team) that much more noticeable.
It feels like crap because it IS crap. Riot has to address these two things: Shift away from team contributions back to individual skill and fix their matchmaking to match you with teammates and enemies of similar skill (although, I know they won't do this last one because they haven't shown any indication that they ever cared about it).

What should they change about matchmaking? What is the 'better alternative'?
And what you suggest to do?
Win/loss is the only way the system can stay fair, anything else can be abused. This isn't CS:GO. Yes, there is a small problem due to Riot wanting to remove as much as possible from the "solo carry" concept, but we need that to a certain degree to be able to do something. The thing that needs nerfed right now are tanks, Xayah and adc items, after that, we can have some solo carry also available, as right now, no matter what you do, unless you're not one of the above mentioned 2 types of champs, you can't solo carry.
Just don´t play at night or early in the morning. The things you see there are magic like "I saw Satan do an abortion on a deer" kind

will riot address anything should be the question here
For real, is it just me or does it seem like the toxic players are back. Or should I say there are even more of them now. The past 5 games I either had trolls that intentionally ruined the game, or people that rage quit and inted. Seriously Riot can we just put the LCS stuff on a quick pause and do something about this. At this point playing ranked is RNG, better off hitting the lottery and trying to win than to play ranked and hope to get a nontoxic team.
Only thing i ask for in match making is to recouldnize that I dont press surrender and thus Match me with other people who dont press surrender. This or Make is so that surrendering drops5-10 more lp than it does if you dont surrender.
This board has a weird fetish in liking getting raped by matchmaking
