why are so many of the matches lopsided?

is the matching system not working or is it just the way the game is? most the games i get into are usually over in like 5 to 10 minutes. not literally over but it becomes clear which side is better and its usually a landslide. not many matches are close or competitive, so you are either half asleep while running over your opponent or half asleep getting totally stomped into the ground. i would like to see better and closer matches with these stomp fests only being a rare thing.

Because Riot expanded the MMR gap allowed in matchmaking, and the game is extremely snowbally now.

Mobas are always prone to snowball.

Main issues currently imo. Smurfing is highly negative in 2 directions. They want to sink? They try to force losses. They want to stomp, they brutalize people. To float in a MMR requires intentional effort to not win games so they can maintain a skill advantage to pub stomp.

Duoing MMR range is fucking massive. Its off Rank not MMR so fringe cases between division 4 and div 2-1 of the rank above cover a huge range of playerbase.

Idiots on NA give up to fast for no fucking good reasons. Honestly my main complaint about the game is how quick folks are to stop playing or the garbage reasons they give up. Bruh I don't fucking care your losing lane. Just play safe and let the rest of us carry ya. Your team (hypotherical you being a hypothetical teammate not @ you as a person) are up massive leads in both obj and kills ffs please don't AFK. -insert 6 min of gameplay latter- actually fuck that please afk and stop running it down mid you fucking child.

High uncertainty games are low quality. that's honestly unavoidable with a 24/7 que with population size changes.

People forgot you need to be able to play multiple roles/champs and are an Instant handicaps if they get filled or their main gets banned.

People forgot WTF a balanced team comp looks like. Yes MasterYi Tryndamere Katarina Lucian is gonna be a great comp into a balanced comp with HELLA hard cc.

In what modes ? From my experience, solo/duo has the most balanced games while blind mode has the worst balanced games

Riot announced at the end of season 5, that they want the matches to be shorter, because a lot of people can't fit too long games into their daily schedule. How do you shorten a moba? More snowball. First blood turret gold, Herald, a lot of changes were added to accelerate the game. And when urf came out the first time, riot said that they want the future of the game to be something like urf. A lot more fast paced, less strategic chess- and more fun overall- gamestyle.

We are, exactly where riot games wanted this game to be.

I know most on the boards don't like it, but riots treats us as a vocal minortiy that is ought to be ignored. They have strong faith the strategy their pursue.

Instead of complaning you should praise them, that you can enjoy a quick ff15 fiesta when you eat dinner in 20 minutes
