why the mmr system is broken

Devo Hes·5/2/2015, 9:11:54 PM·0 votes·822 views

i am experiencing some serious difficulty with the mmr system.

I am currently gold 5, and because i just cant carry hard enough i lose about half of my games. With all these losses my mmr drops lower and lower to the point i am now getting 8-10 lp per win but losing up to 29 per loss, out of 4 games, if i happen to have a good run and win 3, i lose all that i gained.
My team tends to feed harder and harder with each game, go afk after they rage (and obv some ppl rage at them too). The worst part of this is im now paired up with silver 5 and bronze 1 kids, aka im supposed to carry the absolute sh*t out of that match. Well, maybe im a little ahead of my time with these kids now but i tend to not fight when its not necessary, or when its a bad idea to fight (as that only makes sense) but then i dont get as fed as the opposing Vayne or Riven and eventually no matter how good i can play i just cant keep up with a 10-1 riven at 15 mins in.

I get it, everyone has bad games, even i have absolute shit games sometimes, but more often than not im doing well in lane but once ppl start roaming/camping me i rather fall behind in farm or get dove under turret. But the real issue is my lucky streak never seems to hit where its the OTHER team that feeds super hard, or the OTHER teams adc that feeds the sh*t out of our bot lane.

The other day i got demoted from gold 5 to silver 1, within 7 games i was lucky enough to get back into gold, but unfortunately my mmr is still absolute sh*t to where my team and the opposing team is bronze1 - silver4. Elo hell op af

is there any way to fix this crap mmr? other than the obvious "CARRY HARDER YOU NUB"

I feel as though once you get into gold your mmr should reflect that, and maybe reset to what would be normal for gold 5, its taken me forever to climb my way from bronze all the way up.

judging by your post following happened

you were high and your mmr was high then you lost to ppl who were actualy better than you and you went on tilt

best solution is to quit league ... fo a day or 2

then you get to the game fresh and the past stuf is in the past, so you start playing like a new person i used this trick to get to plat last season

if you cant carry bronze/low silver games you dont deserve to be in gold. its as easy as that

uhm you need coaching you have this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect . 1k games gold 5? your most played champions are one of the hardest and you have a 47% win rate (play easier stuff you dont know the game) you average 6-7 deaths a game and have low cs. The only champs you do decent on are trundle and darius because they are easy. http://gyazo.com/2972b8580aa2cbc77f888aee3802da4e i dont see a problem with it i get 30 lp a win

I don't know how you got to gold, but looking at op.gg and lolking this is what happened.

You where doing vary well and when you hit gold you started to run into higher elo players.

Example:

With one of my 7 accounts i have started it at silver 4 and now in gold 4 with in 1-2 weeks. Which puts me against platinum players now, because i have a win rate of 60-65% consistently. So my MMR is vary high.

Your history shows you where doing just as well and started facing harder players, but somewhere you went on such a bad tilt that now you are facing silver 5 - bronze and that is why you are losing more LP then gaining.

When you are facing silver 5 and bronze you are at high risk of hitting silver 1 from gold. i would be vary worried......

Champions you might want to consider replacing:

Zed Kassadin Tristana Rek'sai Volibear Nautilus

You are ranging between 20-120 games with each champion that are all below 50% winrate. Totaling 140 wins and 184 loses all together give or take.

These champions should be removed from your roster since you are unable to carry the games with them.

once again if you are over 100 games with 45% or less winrate on a champion i think it is time to play someone else.

Edit:

What really screws up MMR thou is duo qing up with plat as gold.

So if you team is composed of you are your friend like this: You - gold Friend - plat

Your teammates will be Team 3 - silver Team 4 - silver Team 5 - silver

Then the enemy team will be:

Team 1 - Gold Team 2 - Gold Team 3 - Gold Team 4 - Gold Team 5 - Gold

This will put your team at a disadvantage since you are forcing 3 silvers to fight gold

you dont get it though, sure i die 6-7 times a game, but thats with all the shit teamfights and turret dives from the previously fed other lanes.

if im top lane and im 3-0 and double my opponents cs that doesnt help me if the opposing teams bot and jg are fed 6+ kills each.

Really though, you cant come to silver and play like you do in gold or higher, people here fight for no reason over and over, nobody wants to ward nobody wants to listen to anyone. You can have all the cs you want but if you dont partake in those fights your team loses regardless.

i did expect shit responses with the way this community is.
