Matchmaking is Perfect, Please Don't Change It

Hey all, I've noticed a lot of criticism of Riot's matchmaking algorithm in the past few seasons, especially this one, and I'd just like to defend it. If YOU cant carry your teammates, regardless of how they're playing, YOU don't deserve to climb. If you go on a loss streak, its YOUR OWN fault and no one else's, regardless of how you play. If YOU want to make a play to help your team come back in the game, and your team doesn't want to follow, its YOUR fault. If YOU can't constantly help your other lanes out before the enemy snowballs, its YOUR fault. If you can't help your botlane that is losing 2v2, its YOUR fault. And lastly, if YOU cant make up for the skill disparity between your own laners and enemy laners, then its YOUR fault and you don't deserve to climb at all because your play lacks quality. Riot's matchmaking algorithm is carefully designed and is perfect the way it is. I hope it never changes <3. Go Riot!

What kind of logic is that? I don't even know how to properly reply to this; I don't even know if it deserves one.

Let's see how many downvotes I can get on a sarcastic post asking for change. I love Riot and the shills that are paid to lurk the boards all day downvoting posts! /s

rofl... Yes you who are 1 piece on a board of 10 can decide this... Unless you are playing something absurdly broken you can only do so much. I will give props where it is due, at least the balance is that good. You don't see one man carries able to 1v5 the enemy team, they need at least a little help/team work to do it. Even master/challengers only win about 60 percent of the time. The real problem with solo duo is how little control you actually have. It is a joke of a queue. The matchmaking is even more of a joke, and smurfs do not help. Because yes a skilled player can really do a lot, but if their teams are literal trolls/people not trying not even they can carry it.
