Why is this games matchmaking so bad?

Archenz··8 votes·676 views

I mean, some games my team is SKT incarnated into silver, they play so good they dont even try. Then next game, it feels like my team is playing on the East Coast server from russia, were they feed so far.

Im not talking about me tho, im pretty bad some games, pretty meh others. But why is this game like that? Why cant we all have fair games, with 2 equally skilled teams? Why is this game always a stomp?

Because there are simply too many silver players, even moreso than bronze players. Many people end up on silver if they do "well" even if they never even played ranked before.

Because there are so many players, the variety of players with different skill levels is enormous; sometimes you can get a Faker smurf on your team, sometimes you can get a potato player which got to level 30 only playing Coop vs IA.

Unfortunately the only reliable way to get out of Silver is to use strategies that least rely on your team. Teamwork simply doesn't exist on Silver. Try to use splitpushing champions or snowball champions. That's how I managed to get out of silver.

Yea I've been using trundle a lot to try to get out of silver. Just split push and never ever group.

Usually I get the inhibs and then I go to other lanes.

Any other tips you have? And does it get better out of silver?

Funny enough I have like a 73% win rate on trundle, maybe I should just spam him.

Simple, first 10 minutes is 2 1v1s and a 2v2. If your in a 1v1 either you or your opponent is going to be better and show it. Until like master is it rare to have a straight even match up because there is so many combinations of champs and play styles.

2v2 it's the same thing. Either they are going to work better together or yours will. It's that simple. Until higher Elos where people can adjust to more play style and comps it's literally who is better on the champ they picked.

I played a sub-30 game the other day (made a smurf to help a friend level up), was about level 9. Went mid lane as Yasuo. Was against a fucking platinum Azir.

The weird part is we won that game. Wasn't even that hard.

Because I'm guessing that Azir was just a learning time. It takes a long time to figure him out, so playing with your Level 1 friend is a good way to do it. Because you can assume your lane opponent will act like a human, but you can still normally dumpster the enemy pretty nicely.

But the Azir didn't expect a good Yasuo.

I am uh, not a very good fucking Yasuo, lol.

In fact, I am what's known as a bad Yasuo. A really bad Yasuo.

Azir still has a higher skill floor than Yasuo.

He also had access to a full mastery page, as well as runes. I had nine of the former, none of the latter, and I, as I have said, am a bad Yasuo.

Seriously, a really bad Yasuo.
