Frustrated With Normals Match Making

RUNAAANS HYDRAA·4/26/2015, 5:11:17 AM·1 votes·685 views

Riot, please, why do I keep getting put up against opponents with WAY MORE SKILL than me?! I've only won around 170 normal games, yet I'm consistently put up against people with 500-600+ wins! It's getting to the point where the game isn't even fun anymore, because I'm so frustrated. I wish there was some way to MANUALLY select the skill level you're up against, or SOMETHING. Seriously, I just may stop playing (and paying for skins/champs) because of this.

PS I've only been playing this game for 3.5-4 months.

It's not even about the amount of wins you have

I've consecutively been put into games where my entire team was Bronze/Silver and the enemy team was all Gold/Plat

I personally feel that this is simply affirmative bias. You better remember the games that your opponent's have more wins than the games when your team has more wins than theirs. Consider that there's also the flip-side, where you have 170 won games and your opponent has 50. This is simply how matchmaking works, and this is pretty much unavoidable. Also consider than wins are not necessarily comparable to their ability. Poor players can be carried to victories, just how good players can be pulled into a defeat. I'm not really sure what can be done here.

win count does not = skill.

From your post i think maybe you should quit league. This is obviously not the game type for you.

I just need to practice more now with an emphasis on my weaknesses, ie harassing, trading, cs'ing, warding right, positioning etc.

Customs here I come!
