How the hell am I supposed to make gold, if My MMR is almost goddamn platinum? If I was playing against people in my league, I'd be goddamn Gold by now.
Please tell me there's an end of season MMR naturalization that may kick me up into Gold...
Bismuthinite2 votesStop wasting time complaining and start playing. That's how I finally reached gold 5.
Jivvie2 votesYou should. Is their way of asking "Does he deserve this rank? Let us see."
Ragnar422 votesDerp harder.. I shouldn't be PLAYING Gold 2's. I should be playing Silver 1's and Gold 5's. I don't understand why this is so damn hard. I'm not increasing level because the people I'm playing against are markedly better than me.
It's not ok to have blocked me from Gold by matching me with people much better than me. If i deserve to be IN gold, match me with other people who are right on the cusp and let me beat them.
It's horse-shit.
You're defending it because you're an asshole, nothing more.
Sailor Mint2 votesThat's not how it works.
tl;dr: If you're playing against them, they are the same MMR as you. If you were a Silver player with Gold MMR, all you had to do was complete the deal by winning your series.
I'd suggest using all 10 months of the season instead of cramming all your games in the last few weeks of the season.
Ragnar421 votesSo you're saying that it's not harder to win against Gold Players than it is against Silver players?
I shouldn't be Gold MMR if I'm not IN Gold. I should be Silver MMR as a Silver player. Gold 2 players are better than me, because I'm in Silver. I can't beat Gold 2 players. I should be playing Silver 1 players.
I would have liked to be able to play more games during the 10 month season, BUT real life had its icy grip on my throat and I wasn't exactly able to play. I'm not the kind of asshole that plays League when he has a shitty connection. Or when he might have to leave mid-game to attend his daughter.
Sailor Mint1 votesThere's a loose requirement for getting promoted into a new tier, but there's absolutely zero MMR requirement to stay in a division. As long as you don't lose a game at 0LP, you can stay in your division indefinitely. This means you can have Gold V (or even lower) MMR players chilling in Gold II. You also need to reach division IV MMR of the previous division to get dropped down a tier.
This means there's some serious desync between players' actual skill level (MMR) and their current rank. There's massive overlap between Silver II and Gold IV.
According to op.gg, your MMR is ~1625, which is roughly Gold III. You were 2-3 wins away from a Gold promo, you were most likely getting really good LP gains as the system tried to push you into Gold. It's unfortunate that you ran out of time. But it was due to personal reasons, not because of Riot or matchmaking. On the good side, you have a good chance of getting placed directly into Gold next season.
So you're saying that it's not harder to win against Gold Players than it is against Silver players?
The difference between high silver and low Gold is really small, if not non-existent.
DONT NEEEED TEAM1 votesi lost a game at 0 lp didn't get demoted
Nucleophilic atk1 votesI'll duo with you. I just got promoted to gold 5.
Symphony RegaIia1 votesThe only factor in matchmaking is MMR. League is not a factor. You're losing games to people who are equal to you.
Ragnar421 votesWho are in Gold 1-Gold 3. Check the match history. I should be playing Silver 1-Gold 5 If I'm losing to them, it stands to reason that I should be in Silver 1. But if I'm losing to Gold 1-Gold 3, I shouldn't be in Silver 1. Does it?
Sailor Mint1 votesNobody in your match history is showing up above Gold 2. There's massive MMR overlap between Silver 2 and Gold 3.
It was a combination of your MMR being decently high and their MMR being on the low side.
