Tell me again that you don't get worse teammates when you win few games.

After Idk how many losses I could finally win again, won 6 games in a row and check out the player I got. She was trolling, running around doing nothing and the worst thing is the game was apsolutely winnable, we just needed her ult in teamfight, that's it. But nahh, ty for giving me a player on a 7 games losing streak so I need to carry him, thank you very much. Also, nobody even said a thing to her, no flame no nothing, she just started trolling for no reason. We reported her but she didn't say anything in chat so she won't get a ban, hehe. It's not toxic if you don't write something in chat hehe. I lost 22 LP because of that dumb shit, diamond 5 is heaven.

It comes from the fact that matchmaking matches you to get your teams average mmr to fit enemy team average mmr. There is actually a range of mmr for certain division and if you are way above it you skip divisions or get insane lp gains. Anyway if you are on winstreak and you got higher mmr than usual for that divisions, the average teams mmr for that division stays the same.so to make up for you being higher mmr than average tou get people with mmr less than average while enemy team gets 5 people of average mmr- lower than yours but much higher than rest of your team mmrs.

And thats how you get that matchmaking of getting shit players after win streaks. This matchmaking is used also in other games e.g. hots, but unlike riot, blizzard and other companies have balls to admit it and actually are trying to do fixes to it. Riot just doesnt care. As long as kids and young players and noobs (that this game is more and more aimed towards since last 2 years) pay their parents money and have fun getting carried while trolling with 0 punishment or can use braindead champ to get out of bronze to gold, its all fine in their eyes.

You mean the hypersensitive mmr system that tries to keep everyone at a 50% win rate might be flawed?

This happens to me all the time. If I hard carry some games and get a streak. I will literally get a row of shitty players or mad ass opponents and get a losing streak.

Then in reality I've just gone 7-6. Not 7-0. Lmao.

I think pairing people with similar winrates at the same MMR is more effective than trying to enforce the 50% winrate.

Teams comprised of the best/worst possible players would face enemy teams with the same composition. Yeah, this would really widen the skill cap, but that's the point.

Being given bad teammates on purpose is the reason I gave up on this game. Makes no sense trying your hardest and the deck is already stacked against you. I really feel like my wins and losses are predetermined.

All you did was do what he asked, but they just had to put you down. =P

I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if you did, purely from an algorithmic prospective.

It's very expensive to check an exponential number of combinations of teams, it's much faster and easier to just offset an above average MMR with a below average MMR, for your current rank.

This would include players at your current rank who are on a losing streak, and players who are below your rank on a winning streak.

I've had a similar experience lately in Normals Draft too; lost 5 games in a row and my teammates became more questionable with each loss. It has basically turned into either "the better 4-man premade wins" if you go in Solo, or "matchmaking decides your fate!" because so many games end up rather one-sided. In particular, 3/5 of those games were lost due to 2/3 lanes straight losing to the point of feeding, and in those three games I won my lane only finding myself unable to do anything due to how strong the rest of the enemy team had become.

I lost my own lane the other two games, but both featured premades that went ham as often as possible. The worst aspect, though, is that these trends have happened to me quite often as of late.
