AutoFill if u have 3 autofilled teammate on ur team and enemy are all on their main role. u lost the coinflip.

DUO Partners. if one team has duo and the other team doesnt have duo then that game is a coinflip. That Duo Decides the game for other 8 people in the game. if good duo they will 2v8 and if bad duo they will run it down as 2 doesnt matter what other 8 players does.

Smurfs. if ur enemy has 2 smurfs and u have none. u lost the coinflip.

Trolls. Since trolls dont get banned or anything.they are always there. if u have troll on ur team then u lost the coinflip. BUT u can use that Report button after the game i dont know what that button does but its better to use it anyway.

MatchMaking. if Average MMR of ur team is silver 1 and average MMR of ur enemy team is gold 3 u lost the coinflip. BUT instead of 21LP u only lose 17LP. still u lost coinflip.

Edited : Of Course All of These Games Are Winnable. And u can 1v9. But that doesnt mean u won the coinflip. u just did the impossible.

the theory of big numbers means that those cancel each other out with you being the only factor you can influence the most your win rate is decided only by your own performance

this means that you can't have an absurd high win rate unless you are miles ahead of everyone in the game in terms of knowledge and mechanics (this is why tf blade gets challenger accounts from unranked in a few weeks) but even if you see his accounts by the time he reaches high challenger his win rate starts to even out towards 50%

his euw rank 1 climb was with 67% win rate his na rank 1 account that kept for 2 years was with 55% win rate

if you notice that even an amazing soloq player can't have an absurd win rate around his skill level

in a balanced working elo system any player should have 50-55%win rate based only on their consistency in game if you are really consistent you can go above 55% barely this is proven with every account in challenger that has 500+ games only very very few accounts with such amount of games have above 55% and even if they do they are 56 or 57% This is only because your own performance is responsible for 20% of your games if you are a 4fun player you will have 50% if you troll you will have less than 50% if you are consistently good you will have more

Not all of the games are winnable and not all of the games are 1v9 able. Out side of that you're right

The real reason games become coinflips is that players at mid-range skill levels like gold are extremely inconsistent. One game a gold player could play like a diamond, the next he'll look like he belongs in Iron. I know this, because I see it in every game I play. I played two back to back games with the same person - in one he was so bad he looked like he was trolling... in the next he went like 13/2... and I do the same thing too sometimes, I can go from 0/6 to 8/2 in back to back games with the same champ.

Inconsistency is the real "problem", but people just don't want to admin that THEY can be the problem.

Doing the impossible looks particularly easy.

You forgot the "I have to go to work in 10 minutes but I started a League game anyway" nonsense of players going afk and ruining the game.

Actually matchmaking is the least of our problems. DuoQ and Autofill are fucking up the quality of games the most.

Not the reason you are losing in Plat 2, but alright.
