Is the MatchMaking in low elo impossible??

LemonConCon·Mar 6, 2020·1 votes·3,095 views

So I went back to my Bronze account season 3, I probably used it a couple of times after that and left it because of how bad the mmr was... Im giving it a new try now and wow its almost impossible to go up... I manage to get a 8-2 on the placements, still placed me on Iron3 which after a few afks and 0/xxx and me frustrating I went to Iron 4.... I bought a couple of my usual champs and managed to get myself to Iron1 won a game lost 2 and guess what DEMOTED!!!!!!!! WTF!!!! DEMOSTED!!!! and now every game I keep getting some kind of new player, jungle specially..... my adc just went 0/14/5 87 cs!!!!!!! I cant even carry them cause they dnt listen, or dnt talk, or they sensitive babies............ RIOT is messing up the game by not banning AFKers, trolls and people who enoy just messing other peoples game... there should also be a mastery minimum before playing a ranked game w a champ....

You have 300 games negative winrate. That's not your teammates it's you. Get better, carry, climb. Also stop playing so many champions.

Get better where? For a person playing less than 10 hours per week its impossible to get better at this game.

The OP has 321 games since the start of season 10, of which there have been 56 days. That's an average of more than 5.7 games per day. If we assume the average game including all other things involved in getting into a game is 40 minutes, that's more than 26 hours per week.

As for you specifically, why should you be able to climb if you aren't able to get better? Shouldn't rank be a reflection of skill with an increase in rank representative of an increase in skill?

https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=lemonconcon I dnt knw where you see a negative winrate.... Also my kda is not the best cause I main shen top w a 63% winrate. I play tanky champs cause thats what I like and enjoy.... again low elo impossible to carry like that.

You just now barely passed 50% winrate with 165/164 before you were 49% winrate though. Good job on those wins.

Riot uses it only to boost those it thing will be Plat+

All other games it does not care about and just randomly makes matches.

if you cant carry in that low of an elo you are just bad hate to break it to ya and sts but thats the way she goes

Well thats the same logic you can use in any elo unless youre top 50 Challenger.

My cousin is Plat 3 and was not able to carry at this elo for the simple fact that people are map unaware, they dnt know when to chase an obj and all they do is chase kills..... I play Clash w 2 gold 1 plat and 1 diamond and my level is the same as all of them.... but when it comes to iron/bronze you might be as good as u want but if ur bot lane is 0/8 2/10 in 16 mins of the game and they flaming on jng bc he only came 3 times all game then the game is over....

I mean yeah..low elo is garbage.. anything goes. Its a coin toss every game unless youre high elo. You dont learn anything nor do you have fun as it is akin to normal games but with closer matchmaking. Nobody cares what happens or who plays or if people actually have fun. If youre Silver, you may get stuck in Bronze or Iron..If you are gold, you may demote to bronze. Anything goes.

This is elo where most players quit, new players join. for skill to climb pick 1 champ-main them..once you get good at the champ..the gameplay sense will come eventually.

Let me start by defining what I call a true carry. Its when your team is naturally losing, and the enemy's make good decisions with their lead, but you still manage to win the game by out playing them. No, its just that champions like and a LOT of others simply arent designed to have really large leads early. Once they get 2 kills on the same person, the game instantly ends. The champion now has to be baby sat all game long and no on can do anything productive while they are alive. 1 bad play or player makes the ENTIRE GAME over. As someone that has a 70% winrate on brand bot, i can tell you its not because im good, its because there is always that 1 person that drags my R into their team. 1 bad player is an instant loss. 4 chances on your team 5 on the other.

You can only carry the ENEMY team by being bad. In league of mobility and damage and cc, its gg at 15 in most games. Players tilt and throw in low low elo, so their is like a 15% chance that games that are should be guaranteed can be won, but that is only possible if the enemy carry makes several mistakes over and over. He just countered the guy that fed him or something.

So overall. Most players are bad. Jg impacts all rolls along with support. And top mid and bot are typically carry damage champs. This means that if 1 of them is stronger by any means over the others, they always win vs them(within reason). This spreads to team gold and team objectives etc. This spreads to global dominance. The only person that can make a come back, is if the enemy carries with shut downs all die to the same person, and that person counters their carries. That is called throwing a game. Relying on 5 people throwing a game every game to win if you have 1 bad player/mistake makes games feel terrible to play. This makes people toxic.

Once players get enough skill to use the champion lead they have, games are no longer smurf carryable. The higher in rank you go the larger the chance of that per game, as each game is based on a give and take. So in iron 4 you can still be unable to TRULY carry some bad players, but that's rare. In challenger is almost non-existent to be able to carry. The mmr vs rank illusion makes it even worse

You don't need to carry every game. Carry 50% of the games and you'll be fine and climbing like a rocket.

So let's check:

https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=LemonConCon

Average kill participation: 35% Average KDA < 2 Average CS 4.5/min

I do not see your carrying a single game to be honnest.

It may hurt but it looks like you belong where you are. To climb any further you do not need to rage and spam games, you need to improve. Identify your mistakes and eliminate them one by one.
