Matchmaking is completely fucked, without a doubt. Esp in matches that matter to people.

wtf

She literally locked in xayah jungle and he locked in amumu adc. There was no communication in champ select, and if you think they were duo, the amumu and GP were duod. She'd afk hit the jg camps whilst being ganked because she couldn't give a shit :/

Playing some games on my silver smurf to rank it up, get into my promos, and this is the kind of shit you see. 90% of my promo games are unbalanced dumpster fests. Literally everyone was awful and if I hadn't been some cancer fiora smurf then this game would have gone down the shitter so fast. A xayah jungle, amumu adc who refused to speak and was 0-5 at like 4 minutes in. Thankfully jhin is irrelevant and renek sucked, but people who are trying to win shouldn't have to bank on the entire enemy team sucking and not knowing what to do with a lead. This is not match MAKING. This is patching a match together with duct tape.

I dont undersrand why there are no rules in ranked. RIOT needs to enforce that ranked is you trying your best. You shouldnt have to follow meta, but trying new champs, or getting killed cause you were texting should be reportable.

"I'm smurfing and dont undertand why the players a few tiers below me play poorly"

I dunno man, man thats why they're lower ranked? Are you expecting them to play on your level or something?

Xayah jungle and an Amumu adc

ya...because those two definitely didnt forget to switch or something along those lines. Totally a matchmaking issue.

Hell, even if there wasn't a mix up, how is that a matchmaking issue? Riot can't pick their champions for them

This is the result of focusing on player behavior and not on player improvement. You need them both in a game like this but society is exactly the same, behave yourself and try but we won't hold you accountable even if you suck at your job. Meanwhile those that excel get passed over by those that are a friggin useless POS and reap the rewards with next to no effort.

Why would RIOT not cater to them as well.

That is the way of the world today. Be a POS and you will be fine in life. Improve yourself every day and you get nowhere.

I been saying for years that they need to add incentives to improve yourself but they choose to add incentives for behaving and ruining games because of the suck factor.

Yep, one semi-enjoyable game in like the last 20. Over 3/4 auto-losses with bot lane inexplicably losing tier 2 tower and generally feeding 8+ kills combined for a whopping 1 kill of their own. Meanwhile I'm 1v2 top, can't buy a gank from jungler who insists on ff jg, risky invades of enemy jg instead of - you know - ganking my lane, winning 2v2, then invading? Rather die alone when I can't follow my laner 1v2 to help him, and stupid 3v2 ganks of fed enemy bot lane - only to die for no gain. 5-10% of games, you actually have 1 good teammate and one that isn't completely inting or boosted. As in - your vel and amumu duo were actually not boosted or inting compared to what I generally see. And your gp was definitely good. The one semi-enjoyable game? I don't like to faceroll the enemy team either - I like a balanced match, but after so many auto-losses and 2v1 camps preventing me from being able to leave tower without being flash ganked and just waiting for the fed enemy mid to start camping me too, I will take a rofl stomp of the enemy team for once and enjoy not auto-losing for once. Especially with how positive my teammates all were. The fact that my jungler, support, and I could have 3v5'd the whole game speaks for itself. Matchmaking isn't even close to doing it's job. And it's not like a 50/50 rofl stomp by one side and then next game the other guys get to stomp their opponents. It's like 75% of the time, 2+ monkeys ruin it for everyone on their team regardless of how the rest of the team does. And 1-3 people lose when they are 100% better than their opponents - not just lane opponents - everyone and anyone on the enemy team. Pretty sure akali would delete the entire team in charge of matchmaking for doing such a poor job of balancing teams.
