FIX MATCHMAKING

FishAreFriendsss·Oct 30, 2014·2 votes·923 views

I thought ranked was supposed to out of any other game type put you with players of the same skill level, this is a lie. I started silver 3 in ranked and since them I've gone down to silver 5 because of my team. There has been a couple games like 2 games ago I was Nash's countered by jax and was my fault, but I have been in COUNTLESS ranked games where I get a team where ALL of them feed and do nothing the entire game and this has made me go down in rank drastically. I, honestly going to quit playing, I just got suspended for leaving, but I don't care, I'd rather leave and not waste 20 minutes of my life just so we ca surrender because RIOT has aweful matchmaking .

Hate to break this to you, but it looks like you're contributing largely to why your games are going so bad. Just a quick glance at your stats shows a 0.8 avg KDA in ranked with almost 9 deaths per ranked game (and you have a lot of games where you go double digits in deaths).

You also don't have a single game in your last 20 matches where you broke 150 CS as top/mid/adc, regardless of match length. In addition, you neglect to even buy tier 1 boots in many games. If all of that wasn't enough of a problem, you don't even have ONE SINGLE COMPLETE RUNE PAGE, which IMO should prevent you from even queuing for ranked.

You need to practice more (not in ranked) and work on dying a LOT less per game (shoot for 4-5 deaths MAX). You need to save your IP and purchase runes (at a very minimum, a page for AD and another for AP with armor/MR on both).

The system may have placed you in Silver III, but you likely belong somewhere in Bronze. By continuing to play games in an elo you don't belong in, you're destroying your MMR (and the MMR of others) and you will end up dropping to Bronze and likely being stuck there for a very long time. Do yourself a huge favor and stop playing ranked for the remainder of this season and just work on your mechanics and a select pool of champions that you want to master.

Probably not but this is so annoying, I, just going to stop playing league all together. I've even had people be like "I'm bronze 5 but it's end of season so I'm not really trying".....like okay then DONT OLAY RANKED and why am I out with bronze 5 as silver 3 makes NO sense

I understand what you're saying legend, and he's my past couple games have been bad cuz I've been so angry and pissed, then I et toxic teams, teams that don't communicate so I stop caring, but if you look at my first ranked games they were amazing,mthem I just started greeting aweful teams, and rune pages? If you need runes to win you shouldn't be able,to say you're good

A player may not need runes to get wins, as anyone can queue up and do pretty much anything and eventually win a game (including going afk).

If you are serious about playing ranked and actually climbing, though, you would be smart to take advantage of every little thing you can to ensure that you are on an even playing field with your opponents.

If my original post came off as offensive, I apologize, but you need a reality check. Feel free to look up my stats on op.gg and compare them with your own. I'm currently in Silver III after a bad streak of games that started with my gold promos. I average close to a 4.0 KDA on most of my main champs and typically less than 5 deaths per game and very very rarely have a game where I don't go positive, win or loss. I've had games where I go 12-4-12 with a penta kill and still lose. Why? Because I'll get somebody on my team who's freshly placed in Silver, like you, who won't listen to more experienced players and they feed uncontrollably and throw the game. Don't be that guy. Realize that you have a lot to learn about the game and take the time to learn it. If you're not even willing to admit that runes are an important asset to take with you into ranked, then you honestly have no business being in ranked, let alone in Silver.

No I believe runes definetly give you an advantage but I just have no idea what runes to get, after your post I've been watching streamers okay and realize how I can better my game, but what you say about better players giving me advice in game is false, I'm not blaming other people for my losing cuz as I said so,e games I do bad, but I'm being 100% honest when I tell you I am getting aweful teammates, they're toxic to eachother, feed, Don't ward ever, I'll ask botto, or top to ward the opposite jungle that I, not at, they won't even when minions HAVNT even spawned yet, I notify our team when our jungle will return, when a champions skills are down, when their ultis are used and I try my hardest :/

See, this isn't Matchmmkings fault, really. You got carried through some placement matches, got placed higher than you belong, and it is quickly moving you to equilibrium with your skill level. You can't really expect it to get your level of placement perfect after 10 games, right? There is such a huge room for error, and it DOES have a balancing mechanism where if you are streaking (Hot or cold) you move faster up or down. So you are rapidly approaching where you belong. Losing is part of the game. Figure out what people are doing differently compared to you in the games you are getting crushed and try to use that knowledge to improve.

On top of what Legendari said, start using Flash. Or even Ghost on some of the champions you seem to play. In 8 of your last 10 games you didn't use Flash. That is ridiculous. The non-flash jungler strategy is really risky (Especially at your level), because it requires your team to actively have wards up in good spots, it requires your team to react to your TP, and it requires you to be able to make the hard decisions of when to TP and when not to. Running Flash will help you get your deaths down. Once you can keep your deaths low, you can start experimenting with running TP rather than Flash on your junglers again.

I actually really like how you worded this, legend sounded kind of offensive haha, I do believe ima good player not a a amazing player but can keep up with silver at the very least, but as soon as I see my team start feeding I just don't feel the need to try anymore, my Nash's top,with jax counter 3 games ago was aweful but me being jungle I normally always do a good job, and at some points I couldn't even Gankkk in most of my games because I go to help one lane and when I go to the other the enemy's 3 levels ahead of my teammates in lane, sure I might not do amazing some games but what Im talking about with matchmaking is that I get out in teams like this...
