like what the fuck is happening

why am i getting these people on my team, their mmr is so fucked up winning 1/3 games they're slowly climbing over like 2000 games, this SHOULD NOT be possible

there might have been someone boosting them in the middle somewhere but i can't sift through 2000 games to find that win spike

holy shit when your w/r overall drops below 50% people need to be dropping like 50LP per game ranked integrity is so garbage right now

if you get placed in plat by your provisional games it takes a huge amount of losses to get demoted thus 35%winrate is achievable

LOL

you're silver 5 with 800 games, just because you are where you belong does not mean this system puts people where they belong or that it can detect people being boosted by a boyfriend

Okay so people being boosted will never be solved. Unless they physicaly prove ot witch cant happen. I mean if you are getting people in your games that you think are preventing you from winning. Like we all say. Carry harder. Because if you are good enough anyone can solo carry a game

Nope you cannot. Just watch some GOOD high elo stream like noway4u. 4 accounts in challenger, still struggles in diamond. And boosted people can easily be solved. Give us solo q. Done. After that, it's not hard to detect people playing on different IPs.

Ranked as a whole feels really depressing to play.

Game quality is shit. Matchmaking feels shit. Player quality is even worse.

Someone I used to play with was boosted to Gold by her Plat 4 boyfriend when she has the skill level of a bronze 2-3.

If they re plat with 35 % winrate they were probably boosted to diamond and now that they re playing by themselves they re just rolling downhill. But keep in mind that there is equal chance of those ppl being on the opposing team. Unlucky, go next.

yeh kk sure make it impossible to climb.

I genuinly get 7 game winstreaks followed by 7 game loss streaks at this point. ranked is just pure cancer right now.

from 0 lp silver 4 to silver 3 40 lp back to silver 4 40 lp. waw so fun.

if that's happening in silver 4 that's because it's where you belong, also since you failed to read what i wrote...7 and 7 is 50% winrate, you would not fall under the huge LP losses per loss

Thats likely people who were boosted last season through Dynamic que placing highly at the start of the Season. Nobody is actually going to climb with a 35% winrate, but because dropping an entire tier takes a silly amount of losses, its possible to remain in plat with a terrible winrate.

I'm at 49% WR and already losing ungodly amounts of LP for every loss, so I have no idea.

There is a reason why I stopped playing solo queue after hitting plat, the match quality is straight up garbage, plat already has the most toxic pkayers, and now at the end of the season you get boosted animals also.

Well, I can confirm that my climb to gold was super weird.

I got into promos the first time and went 0/3. Feels Amumu Man.

So then I get back into my promos and I have a free win. Cool! I start it up...and go 1/3.

Drop back down and climb back up. I enter the series and this time, I have two free wins! All I need to do is win a single game and I'm in Gold!

So I did that. Easy. Actually not it was hell and I had to play like 30 games to get through the whole thing but my promos were a breeze the third time.
