Due to all the random elements your skill only determines about 1-5% on an average player, of your winrate. the 50% is the random element. This is probably the most retarded system in a game I've ever seen, solo ranking number status but you play alongside others. I honestly think no random element whether it be teammates or AFKs they should have 0 impact on your rank.
Warlord Scrap1 votesHow do you propose they fix it.
Mannny1 votesVarious ways can improve it but by its very nature it won't be completely 'fixed' unless they change it all together. Some small changes could be naturally weighing loses less than wins, games don't count if someone AFKs regardless if it's at the start or not, and maybe don't lower someones MMR just because they are on a winning streak.
Warlord Scrap1 votesBut your giving no systems that we could even start a discussion on improvement. I for one prefer the old elo system with no promo series but even that wasnt perfect.
Mannny1 votesA good system idea would be that, MMR is determined by a multitude of stats where you play 5v5 like usual but it would focus more on your average KDA, gold per minute, cs per 10 minutes, kill participation and everything else. All these determine your MMR rating when you finish your provisionals. You then will play with those who have similar stats as you. It would also look at matchups, so if someone is a counter-matchup their stats would reflect to that of others who have also done that matchup. This system is just an Idea and may not be perfect still but that is my general Idea on what system could be in place.
Warlord Scrap1 votesive thought of that but that would determine matchmaking not your rank. How would you determine a persons rank
FioraWillCarry1 votesBring back solo carrying. That would fix shit. Since season 5 they patched this game into a true team game. Trouble is, we all get garbage team mates and without the elements that made solo carrying possible in season 5, winning becomes akin to gambling. The team with less garbage players wins.
