Hello,

I don't understand your match making system. Here take a look at my last recent matches. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=don+khan

Almost 85% of those games the bot lane feeds: 2/22 , 2/11, 3/10

No matter what you do, what champion you play, bot lane WILL feed.

How is that almost all the time I get teams in which specifically bot lane feeds. I simply don't understand. It is outrageous and almost making me fucking kill myself. I hope you enjoy this shit of a match making system you make cause you guys are pathetic in balancing teams. I have played over 5000+ games and I demand to know why this keeps happening.

Also, thank you for banning me at the end of the seasons so I could not even get my season rewards. Way to thank me for it. This is how Riot games treats a veteran of their game. I used to play back when Season 2 was out and this is how I get treated. Countless bans and crap match making. Thank you

I watched one of your games, and it was reasonably close for most of it, but I saw a consistent pattern from you that ended up costing you the game: As Zed, you tend to go in first and get focused, sometimes getting kills, often not. This is often just due to lack of vision, but you also overchase pretty hard, which gets you caught out. The main point is that you aren't supposed to be the initiator/diver as Zed, and should be aggressively warding their flanks (without getting caught) so you can find a pick opportunity on their carry right as the fight begins and major CC cooldowns have been blown.

Your warding isn't too great either, which leads to your team getting picked when they blindly facecheck things that they would (foolishly) assume to be safe (bush near your team's wraiths, dot bush near dragon, bush behind your wolves, etc). Warding really should be a team effort, and your support was doing most of it on his own (Thresh).

Your lane phase was fairly good, but your mid game looked pretty indecisive. You weren't really pressuring objectives or lanes, and just sort of sat around in mid waiting for a fight. I know a lot of players do this, but I consider it a losing strategy since fights can be 50/50 until one team has a clear advantage (usually after winning several of these high-risk fights), and those odds are a little too high if that team isn't yours. Your team continued to do this after losing several fights, and towers, which translates into what I call "picking a fight to lose." This just leads to the enemy team snowballing even harder unless your team got lucky in the fight.

None of this is intended to be an attack on you as a player, btw, but just a critique of one game--so obviously it doesn't give me a complete picture, but you can see certain tendencies in a person's play--so you can get some objective, 3rd party feedback on where you might look to improve. As for your team being good or feeding, Solo queue doesn't actually measure your overall skill very well, because W/L is the only metric. It only measures your ability to carry a game. I fully understand how you feel about getting matched with bad players, but your only choices are to look to yourself for improvement, or stop playing. The main thing I saw from your play was that your personal mechanics probably carried you to where you are (and I saw you were Plat last season), but your macro game is what is holding you back.

One last piece of friendly advice: Practice your weaker roles in Normals, or dodge if you get stuck with them in Ranked. You have a very low win % outside of Mid/Top, and that isn't helping you to climb. Dodging is only -3LP, and that's a lot easier to take than the -15 or -20 for a particularly badly matched Loss, especially if you can't carry in those off roles.

I know I could use some macro game help and thank you for the critique. I appreciate it you taking the initiative to helping me out. Could you watch my recent Malzahar game and tell me what I should have done. Because that game proves exactly the point I am trying to make. I have 70% kill participation , did the most damage in the team, tried my best to motivate my bot lane which was feeding. But in the end bot lane just fed extremely much that no matter what do we were gonna lose.

And the problem is, this is not a one time thing, or hey it happened just 3 times today off luck, no no , this has been happening almost 80% of my past 30 games. It is obnoxious and certainly is pissing me off because I have to vent it out on the forums.

The upload isn't available.

I have felt something similar this season too, though. I have a couple days where I win 16/20, then have a few days where I win 6/20--and sometimes it just feels like there's nothing you can do: -My lane crushes, but everyone else on the team gets wrecked -Random d/c at the start of the game, so 4v5 -People rage quit because they gave up first blood -People quit when they lose their tower -Team gets behind and goes out looking for more teamfights (that they will lose) -Afk players over the most miniscule things

Unfortunately, it just seems to come in waves. Maybe that's confirmation bias. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Maybe it's just really bad luck. Either way, if you let it tilt you, then you are bringing at least one player into each of your games who is not in a winning mindset. Take a break and play another game for a day or two--preferably not a competitive one.

Thanks, I watched that video quite a while ago. I do my best not to tilt. But again just the last game I played, Jax goes 2/11 and threatens to AFK. It is out of my control, I love this game, I really do, I love the champions and their unique personalities and skill-set requirements, thats what attracts me the most in this game. But it hurts man when 6 out of 8 games you play the SOLE reason you lost was not cause you played bad, not because you cs'd bad, it was cause of ONE person who decided that hey I will simply lose this game and make it as hard as possible for my teammates to carry.

Yeah, it happens.

Dong Huap did a vid about the "statistical best time to play" which is interesting, but I'm not sure how useful that kind of info actually is. Maybe there are certain days, or times of day, where there's less of that nonsense? Idk

Here's an interesting video that might give you something to think about. I'm not saying it will solve your problem, but maybe you can take something from it.

I don't know what to do bro, I can take 10 of those and yet my blood pressure will boil. Like, after a day's work I come and play 3-4 games and now out of those games 80% are being trolled upon makes me question how this match making system really works. There are games I am 11-2 with Zed, Kassadin, Ryze but I feel literally useless because my opponent botlane just can out pressure me.

What this game has become is more of which team trolls more than the other. Nothing related to how much you cs, how much your apply roaming pressure, it all comes down to which of your or their teammate trolls harder.

I swear if it's not dynamic queue then it's matchmaking. If it's not that it is something else

People need to realize that people have bad games. In most games players on at least one team will play worse than their opponent. That is normally how games are decided.

This game is predicated on getting ahead and snowballing. And then people just flip out when the other team does it.

I mean it happens to teams at the prole level in coordinated teams. It only makes sense that it would occur more in solo/duo.

So get over it.

If you don't like it, then find 4 other people that are solid and queue as 5. It is a team game. It is not and will never be a solo game.

I feel like a lot of league players don't really want to play a team game. It's like they are trying to beat the enemy team and everyone on their team as well. That's my opinion.

Brother, I understand your point but there is no doubt a major drawback to riot's match making system. I was in my promos to Plat 5, 68% winrate with Zed. On 10 game winning streak but man when you as a gold player are facing 3 PLAT players while having 2 SILVER players in your team. I don't think it is fair. Even if the platinum players are tilting and the silver players have a winning streak it does not make it fair. Unfortunately, now I have 50% wr with my favorite champ but I go in with the same intention of winning, sadly it is not possible when the system works against you winning.

Yeah, I had to stop playing Viktor for this exact reason. By the time I even finish augment at an average of 9cs per minute, my bot lane is about -6 kills. I've had to resort to spamming ziggs so I can keep my lane crying under tower and whip ults at bot on cooldown.

It's just freaking sad

Don Khan2 votes

It really is, unless you are a slave to the meta, you are going no where.

Smitemuffin1 votes

Yeah, the only way I've been able to make Viktor work this patch is with scaling CDR quints and glyphs, then building item 3198 and item 3003 so you spike at 2 items with 300 AP and 30% CDR, then keep accelerating. Everything else just flops
