Usual excuses you gonna find are:

IT'S HOW YOU WILL GET BETTER! :O by getting stomped by other bigger people, you will learn how to play!!!

I think that statement above is just false. If you play with your level, you can begin to gather intelligence and actually start doing good and once you get better than your teammates, you go up. Not that kind of bullshits to always get stomped.

Trust me, it's better system.

maybe you actually aren't that good and fluking out as a gimmick as a main, so idk what you are talking about when you say you are an average silver player when you have no games anyway.

league isn't dying, people know how to play against yasuo

Your mmr is probably very high or there's is very low when I was in silver I rarely played against anyone above gold 3 . And I'm talking about ranked .

i just made a similar post lol. i play with a bronze 3 friend who is legit bronze 3. we get matched with mid to high plat players 1-2 times a night and plat 5 players almost every game. there is NO LEGIT REASON for us to have to fight that. are games winnable? yes they are. are they fun? no. they are not fun period. its not fun having an evenly matched lane to have a plat player (lets say vs my bronze 3 friend in his lane or jungle) who do you thinks going to win that match up? ill struggle in mine to win and my friend will just get destroyed and its basically a 4v5 at that point. or they will be in my lane and ill slowly lose while everyone has their own problems elsewhere lol.

ive recently had several games where the teams are 300-500 mmr apart. i would rather wait 15 min and watch a youtube video and have a good game EVERY game than have 1 min que and contemplate quitting every day i play. doesn't seem like a good business model for longevity.

i am ok with a bad game once in a while, hell im ok with one bad game a day. i dont demand perfection in matchmaking i just want even enough to be worth the effort and investment from personal time.

i also think WoW and Fort nite are stealing a lot of the player base. i know Dyrus quit league and is playing WoW now and a multitude of other streamers and putting less and less in league even though they make hundreds of thousands (if not millions like imaqtpie) of dollars a year playing this game if that says anything.

if the game isnt worth making 6 figures for its not worth the casual player either riot....
