RANKED GAMES!!!!!!!!!!

Why can't you guys figure out a way to match people up correctly in ranked games. I lose games due to players that are so far below skill wise that it's unfair to me and a lot of players that try to play this game. The game is starting to not even be fun anymore, and that sucks a lot.

You cannot place people in ranked games with individuals that are so bad it's not even funny anymore, it is becoming a waste of time. I am sure I am not the only person with this issue.

HOW DO I KEEP ENDING UP IN GAMES WITH PLAYERS WHOSE SKILL LEVEL DIFFERS GREATLY FROM MY OWN? There are a few factors that can make a match feel more imbalanced than it actually is. A teammate may have just had a bad game and performed worse than they usually do. Alternatively, as we’ve seen in LCS, snowballing can still occur despite the two teams being very evenly matched. Snowballing can then lead to the very reasonable perception that a mismatch occurred. Finally, both the Dunning-Kruger and negativity bias also play a role here in shaping players’ impressions of their matchmaking experiences overall.

For the matchmaker itself, the conditions often cited for mismatch are low concurrent users (CCU) or having a very high MMR. But when we take a deeper look at this pool of games, the impact on the quality of matches ends up being very, very low. Instead, the matchmaker is much more likely to increase the queue time as can be seen in the longer queue times seen in the Challenger Tier.

That is not to say that our matchmaker is absolutely perfect. We are also constantly monitoring our matchmaker and making any necessary tweaks to help reduce the chance that players of vastly different skill levels are matched together.

you think they are lower than you but what if by some chance the enemy is just better than them. Bronze players complain about this and think its not my fault my team sucks maybe they had a bad day riot cant just look at your game and say yeah hes plat yeah hes diamond, they dont have time for that. This is why the elo system is here so that if you lose you go down but if you are good then climbing back up wont be that hard i mean hai from c9 made is to gold in like a day from bronze 5 so its not bad teams you just need to learn how to carry.
