Dear Riot, Please fix your Goddamn Matching System

I'm having a really crappy day. Bombed a math test, can't go on my class trip tomorrow, got a worse grade than either of my partners on a project because the teacher hates me.

So I get home and decide to play some League, get it out of my system. I played four games today. One was top lane Jax, against a smurf Olaf. My second game, I was queued up with friends, decided to play an AP assassin mid lane Jax because we were all going off meta. I was matched up against a Gold IV Azir. Third, I was against a Gold V Zed as Cho'Gath mid. Fourth and finally, I was against a Diamond IV Gangplank. I'm unranked, I've never had another account, just barely broke level 29. I don't understand why I'm matched up against people like this so often. Seriously Riot, 75% of my games today! 75% of my games, I had no chance to win. This is ridiculous. I really like League. It's really fun to play. But its honestly ridiculous when that is happening, and I'm so tilted I'm about to uninstall.

Please focus on this, instead of high MMR queue times. I'm sure I'm not the only person that this happens to. I understand the theory that "The only way to get better is to have your ass handed to you", I even subscribe to it most of the time. But things like this make me not want to play.

Watching this right now. They're reducing the size of groups in high mmr to 3 people: so you cannot queue as a 4 man or a 5 man. They're also opening up role selection, so as time in queue increases you'll be put into roles you didn't choose instead of more waiting. That will help high mmr queues.

You personally probably only have bad matchups because you are below 30, and it should even out very soon. And if it doesn't, overwatch is really fun!

Get used to it. Doesnt Change even when you get placed. The system is designed to keep you down. Yea you might get lucky and promote, but unless you are one of those "lucky" people are actually know how to carry a game by yourself, you are screwed.

You win 1 game, gain 19 lp. Lose 1 game, lose 20 lp. Lose series, go down to 75 lp. Now you have to win 2 games ot get back to series, and 2 to win the series. Get demoted? again 75 lp. Win 4 games to get back where you were from 1 or 2 losses. Lose series to get to another division? all good, just drop down to 50 or 45 lp. No biggie. Now you just have to win 7 to advance, or 4 to get back to series.

Pretty sick of this ranked system myself. Doesnt matter how good you do, you will nearly always get a feeder. Look at my history. 6 Losses in a row from feeding team. Im not saying i didnt contribute, nor am i a God, but i did not contribute first. Team goes 0 kills and 14 deaths and blames you for being 0/0/0. Then you die since they are fed, welp then they blame you cuz you 1/6/6...

I feel like it doesnt matter my skill level. I always get screwed over. I was matched against a plat adc and the rest of my team was all silver. Ive played on plat teams before, ive played countless games with diamonds. They had no idea how i was still in silver. (im a support main). Then the play games with me and see that unless you are really talented at carrying or you are lucky (which i am not) you get screwed. Feeders, trolls, afks, big cock syndromes, ass-hats, baiters, pre-made flamer teams. You will have 1 or more of these every game.

Enjoy.
