Dear Rito, your matchmaking system is very troublesome and trolling. i can understand an afker here or there. i can understand a inter here and there i understand people have bad games But i swear to god, every game with a jungler that afk farms and then shit-talks cause they say everyone else sucks. the overall matchmaking is not even balanced. its either your on a side of good players or your on a side with feeders, inters, and bad players. I don't know how your matchmaking system works, but so far this season its been very troublesome. Sure you can't win every game. But there is literally people that want to FF after 5 mins in the game, and then just ends up trolling till 15 mins. I tend to mute players in my match that gets tilted and wants to try and tilt the team, but its very troublesome when you just have players that want to bring you down due to them having a bad game., blaming you and trying to attack your life in the process. I sent a report after the game, but people these days have more then 1 account and just end up doing it because it's near the end of the season.

Comments, feedback, helpful tips to see or recognize something you can dodge? and lose 5 lp instead of 18-20 lp?

It def feels like a flip of a coin to see if your on the side of the good team or not, sometimes. I have a hard time understanding and believing that its match makings fault for getting a afk, inter or w.e in your team.

I dont think the system keeps track of who afks, feeds, carries and what not when it comes to match making. Let me take that back, i dont think the systme considers them when it comes to match making.

If that was the case than you got no one to blame. See let me explain, its the players fault for trolling and not the system that match you up with them. I lied, you got everyone to blame except for riots system for the way that the players behave.

I really do not understand posts like this.

" every game with a jungler that afk farms and then shit-talks cause they say everyone else sucks." "But there is literally people that want to FF after 5 mins in the game, and then just ends up trolling till 15 mins."

Why do you think MM is responsible and not Weak Behavior systems? How can MM control anything after a lobby is made?

Riot needs to start being more proactive in removeing and punishing the Negative game destroying behavior. Automated systems don't function great once their perimeters are known. Folks just don't rage quit or afk to long anymore to get flagged by leave buster as they run to side lanes and CS jungle.

MMR MM wont Fix this. Elo MM wont fix this.

They are systems built from math principles of averages and large numbers. They are used to build a skill curve. MM then pulls from a range on that curve to lower the # of mismatched games. Gameplay itself is never a factor. That's why Elo is used for both Dating sites and games. Why it works for chess or scrabble. Its objective and functions very well with Binominal or Trinomial Results.

Target the correct issue. Players who ruin games. I am sick of them in my games as well. folks who literally give up after 1 death are awful, on my team or the enemy. Its just not fun to play snowballed to hell games because of toxic soft inting behaviors. League is not a battle royal people need to play to win. MM systems Will not ever be the best solution to those behaviors. At best they sink folks who do it far to often down the ladder. Folks who only throw games that they look to lose and are playing to win when they are ahead can hover at any point they maintain roughly 50% WR.
