Just finished a game where I played my ass off and despite getting a little bit fed I just could not carry my team, my team just could not keep up and were just so inferior in gameplay and tilted AF. So I went to op.gg and check out their W/R and my god I found this pathetic state of matchmaking.

My team:

Top: (me) lost this game after 2 consecutive wins, my W/R right now is 55% I just got promoted to silver 2. Jungler: With this game he now has 3 game losing streak, he is on a 48% W/R and is gold 4 19LP potential decline to silver. Mid: With this game he is now on a 4 game losing streak and has a 31% W/R gold 4, he was platinum 4 last season so this is a potential boosted account. ADC: With this game he now has 3 game losing streak, is on a 49% W/R gold 4. He was the best player in my team... Support: Filled support player (no surprise) won last game before this one but had a 3 game losing streak, has 44% W/R.

Now this is where the fun begins my friends

Enemy team:

Top: With this game he is on 3 win streak, has 52% W/R silver 1, maybe he will climb to gold soon** (won another game when making this thread so he is now on a 4 win streak)** Jungler: Lost last game but after a 3 win streak then won again this game, 50% W/R Mid: With this game he is now on a 8 game win streak, 67% W/R. ADC: With this game he now has a 5 win streak, 54% W/R. Just a little note, he lost 1 game before the 5 game win streak BUT before that loss he has a 5 game win streak. Support: Support main (wow) no loss or win streaks, wins a game loses another and has a 45% W/R.

I'm waiting for anyone to prove me this is not a bad matchmaking and this was an almost assured loss for me. Here is my OP.gg so you guys can check it out and not think I'm a liar https://lan.op.gg/summoner/userName=anthony+brower I was the kayle I went 4/6/11

Matchmaking should not be RNG! Team A have premade so team B MUST have premade Team A have 2x autofill so team B MUST have 2x autofill on same position. Team A have 2x player with 47%winratio and 2x 53% so team B MUST have same.

Atm its random AF and this making games "STOMP OR GET STOMPED"

Lets say it was possible to have 100% balanced match making in a moba. All 10 players are equally skilled. Champ select happens. Your mid picks a champ he has 3 games on. Enemy mid picks a champ with 200 games. Your team gets smashed cause it was "unfair" and riots fault because a player put himself in a bad position to win. It is impossible to get a perfect match making sysyem in a 5 v5 game with 140+ champions and the human variable.

So you don't understand why player distribution is RNG? Is that the issue here? Or is it that you overvalue streaks? Or do you not understand why recent games need to be able to impact ratings over previous games?

What part of MMR exactly do you struggle with? Like, you get that Building teams off just WR is fucking atrocious MM.

At OP: Do you consider yourself the feeder scrub that Riot's evil rigged matchmaking stuck with these guys on your team to give them a loss?

This is like taking stats that only prove your point. Lots of different variables that are left out.

The game in and of itself isn't an early stomp and seems pretty even in kills despite your nitpicking at stats. Also, the Jhin you're complaining about did the most damage in the game between enemies and allies, so it's not like he isn't doing his job.

This is why I don't use op.gg to search up my team; it's good information, but it puts you in a mindset where you're too focused on them and not focused enough on the match in and of itself.

You have anecdotes of one game where it seems like you should lose and...well...you did. However, I have anecdotes from just today where I've had to slog through long games to mount comebacks, rely on my team to help me back into the game, eat the fact that the entire enemy team is just NOT going to let me lane for 14 minutes, hold the fact that it's sorely my fault that the game's in shambles and that I'm probs not playing Karma again for the rest of my days...anecdotes are simply anecdotes. The game's matchmaking isn't going to be perfect since this isn't a 1v1 game, but it's gonna be as fair as it can be. I'm not saying you should never get frustrated, but you should do yourself a service by coming back to reality so you can focus on learning and improving at the game.

Yes you are right that's why 50 percent of all players are stuck in bronze forever.
