We don't like the force to 50% matchmaking anymore. Especially not with positional ranks. Disparity and autofill are enough--- pls end this archaic practice

I don't get this.

Forcing a 50% win rate is only logical. If they didn't force everyone into a 50% win rate, then while some are permitted to get higher win rates some would need to have lower win rates.

Let me be the first to reserve a spot in the over 50% win rate group, and to balance things out we can volunteer you to the under 50% win rate group, okay?

Everyone wants to have fun, so logically everyone should get an equal chance to win any game. In the long run, this will net to a 50% win rate.

If you get lucky and win more, your games will get harder. If you're continuously improving you'll maintain a 50% or higher win rate at the higher MMR, but otherwise you'll have a lower win rate until you drop back to your deserved rating.

Riot is not enforcing losing streaks after win streaks. You got lucky to win, and then weren't good enough to stay at your new MMR and fell back.

Same applies to losing first. You get unlucky for a while and lose a bunch? If it was really just bad luck you'll climb back by being better than the new lower skill level.

MMR does not force 50%. It happens over time naturally. Elo and MMR are well documented.

There is 0 gains from forced 50%. Literally everything you can gain from rigging matches you can accomplish easier with changes to a functional MMR system.

Instead of perpetuation the myth of rigged matches how about we discus changes that actually make a better matchmaker. Things like removal of Duoing or failing that changing it to be around MMR not Ranked Tiers. Adding in a Season EXP thats showen, to give players a accurate understanding if they are in games with players their system considers peers.

As it stands a bunch of weak players are going to never take any accountability for their play. ITS RIGGED. ITS ELO HELL. ITS MY TEAMS FAULT ALWAYS! <- this attitude sustains a large number of players justification to never improve.
