Good news, they already do! People who have played lots of games tend to have more accurate mmr, so the more games you play, the better the system can matchmake you.

I only want to play with players who nabbed the same number of games though.

Then be prepared to have your queue times shoot through the roof.

Now matchmaking not only needs to find you people to play the other four roles (which by the abundance of auto-fill is a quest in itself) but also specific people who have played their role around the same amount you've played yours in the same MMR range as you.

I mean, if you want to wait an hour for the game to find four players that match those exact specs and just happen to want a match at the same time as you, then go ahead. Just don't expect the rest of us to jump on board with you.

Don't get us wrong, we like closely matched games. But we also like games where it takes longer to play them than it is to get into them. There's a happy medium there that Riot generally aims for.
