A Matchmaking Idea

Hepolite·11/27/2016, 3:20:29 AM·1 votes·529 views

I've played with platinum smurfs, and diamond smurfs. I'm not nearly that level of skill, and I probably never will be. However, even when we duo and both carry, we lose. We lose way more than we win. Such is Bronze Hell... My kda has double digits positive in the majority of my games in my match history.

Why, when I'm duo'ing with platinum and diamond smurfs and we're consistently getting double digit kills each, do we consistently get matched with 2 to 3 other teammates that feed 1-5 kills / 14-30 deaths / 0-10 assist? Why?

Why are we consistently playing 2 v 8? We do everything we can to assist other lanes, but feeders will feed no matter what you do. You just cannot win them all...

There should be a new statistic to the matchmaking system that takes into account your kda. I'm fully prepared for the flamers, however, if a person consistently performs exceptionally well in their matches, yet still loses, that person shouldn't be matched with more random feeders. That person should be matched with other people that have a record of performing exceptionally well in their games too, despite losing constantly.

Match people based on performance, and not randomly.

To be perpetually stuck in a rank because you only solo/duo and never team is b.s..

To be constantly penalized and demoted because 3 people on my team superfeed in the majority of my games is also b.s..

Matchmaking is a joke right now.

Bronze isn't ELO Hell, and Kills or KDA don't mean jack-sh*t, objectives win games, not kills. If you consistently lose in the end, you did something wrong, even if you have a KDA of 20. The keyword here being "consistently". Of course you can't always win every single game, but even a low Gold player can consistently carry in Bronze and maintain a >55% winrate.

The only "ELO Hell" that exists is being stuck a couple division lower than you deserve and having difficulties getting through that last 2 or 3 promo-series. And I highly doubt that your premade is really a Diamond smurf, or they are not playing their mains, because otherwise they should be able to solo carry, even without you.
