What do you think about current matchmaking system ? (RANKED) is it fine ? or it needs changes ?

personally i think matchmaking system currently sucks because it doesnt prioritize quality of game but it prioritize just finding a match ASAP . i dont think current matchmaking system gives every player 50% chance of winning every game. not even close.

Ranked is janked up

We know it, Riot knows it, the problem is fixing it

Now I do not know if this is a fact (or a rumor I heard through the grapevine) But from my understanding; League has a similar system for their ranked matches that Smite uses. Which works something like this;

Queue up for the ranked game mode of your choice
System searches for 9 other players within both your elo and the mmr system to make a match with little deviation.
X amount of time passes unable to find enough players to fill said match.
System refreshes search to allow for greater difference in elo and mmr.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until enough players have been found for a ranked match.

Now they could remove the mmr system, but i'm not sure how much that would screw up match making

It may not be perfect, but clearly...it's all we got
