I could really stand to have some of that "forced 50% winrate" right about now

Instead of being matched constantly against smurfs and other people way higher skilled than my entire team combined

A Yasuo / Camille / Riven smurf that can't beat golds on their main account decide to vent their frustration on bronze 5 0 lp people just trying to get a fucking mastery chest

Does the matchmaking ever get better, or is it just okay with a 30% winrate bronze being matched against low silvers?

I get smurfing sucks, and no one enjoys it, but it's part of the game and will take some time getting used to. Think of it as a time to learn why they are gold and a unique opportunity to learn to not get tilted.

Best of luck in your future games :),

The whole 50% win rate mentality of balance is the wrong way to view balance to begin with.

Players should be rated individually on a scale. Think like a 1, 2, 3. With 3 being a top player in the game, your A+, S players.

An S player on a losing team should lose no lp. A feeding, inexperienced player on a winning team shouldn't gain lp for being on the winning team.

Like a normal sport, it shouldn't matter what side of the victory coin you are on, but how you are doing as a player. Ronaldo didn't win the World Cup because of his teammates, but his ranking as a player didn't decrease. Victory should be thought of as a bonus.
