Riot: This guys is Silver 3, has 22 losses in 29 TOTAL games. What teammates would you place him with?

MMR System: Give him 3 Gold 4's and 1 Silver 2, he deserves it!

Matchmaking forces 50% winrates. If youve been winning too much they give you teammates like this to bring you down.

This isn’t an anomaly. I hate to see this crap but I see it a lot my game in Bronze. These accounts are garbage. I would take a B1 with 100 games 50% win rate over these people every time.

I can't even bring myself to actually play consistently because of those kind of shit

Back when I had a win rate in the high 70%'s I got stuck with a guy who had a 15% win rate. The enemy team took double jungle so they didn't have a mid laner, and we had the 15% win rate dude in mid. The double jungle camped top lane and 3 manned the turret over about 6-7 minutes.

Somehow my mid laner managed to die and not take a single plate. The dude literally lost mid lane to nobody. This was also when my MMR was higher than it is now, somewhere in Gold 4-3. How on Earth Riot thinks their system is okay and not in need of adjustment when people with literal 15% win rates are not in iron and are, in fact, ruining gold games is beyond me.

ok well i dont play a lot of games and stuff like its occasional games but riot really out here giving me level 30 and 40 players when im level 148, a lot of these players that happen to be 30-40 or below 80 don't apparently know how to play the game leaving me with a griefed game, i have had more games lost than won due to riot matching me with people who grief and aren't at the same level as i am and this is just draft pick

It happens to all of us. I'm going through a grinder right now. Unfortunately I'm hovering on the p4 0lp. Bad time for the game to do it to me. I have recently been placed with two silver players in a platinum game. One with no previous history, and the other was gold last season but has a 27% win ratio this season.

This game doesn't reward you for playing good. It's a known thing. The best way to climb is just to grind. If you start losing take a break. If you lose more quit for a couple of days. It definitely tried to even you out. If you want to play a game that rewards you for being good, it's best to try and play another game. [slayer-jinx-wink]

I've seen silvers in games with plats.
