Matchmaking...

So recently i decided to go on a ranked spree. I wanna hit at least gold by the ned of this seas (For the free skin of courrse). SKip this long aragraph if you want to get to the point My first two ranked matches went great. I played Shyvana . Ive mained her for about a month or two now. I got relatively good with her. So i do great the first two matches then the next 3 are just utter crap. I couldnt deal with the enemy team. They were either fed or our team just couldnt hold them off. I try as hard as i can not to flame. But when i give cronstructive criticism i get trashed. e.g. Garen gave darius 2 kills and spamming me to gank. I told him to just play safe and stay in xp range and he'll be fine. He trashed me and blamed me for no constantly ganking him even though bot and mid needed help as well. Basically, everyone fed that game. I dont wanna sound cocky but i did the best in that game. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1885536529/200430601?tab=overview this is the history of that game. Anyway, i went from 2 victories in row tow 3 losses ina row. i play XinZhao in a normals and did very well and decided to try him in ranked today. It didnt go well at all. Our vlad was too scared to try to turn on anyone (even at full hp while i was there), our jax top was trolling the whole time even tho i got him a kill and tried multiple times to give him more. he was trolling soley because the enemy picked the champ he wanted.

Anyway, my point is that i beleive that the matchmaking system coud use a bit of a tweaking. I really just want to have fun in league. I want to have a challoenge but i dont want to get utterly shut down as well as have teammates and enemies all at a very close skill level. I am proposing that the matchmaking program be strictor in terms of mmr difference by lowering the mmr gap by more than it is right now. well thanks for listening.

matchmaking is fine... if u want to play versus super low players maybe gold doesnt suit you right now. Just try to improve and play more rankeds after you did so...

By lowering the gap, i don't think he meant playing against worse players, but tightening the gap is matches you with. Instead of say a +/- 100 MMR from where you are, to say like +/- 50 MMR from where you are.

All in all, i feel matching based on MMR can also not be the right way to do it either. People can duo with someone who can carry them through games and their MMR will still go up because it's based on a win/loss average. It's not even based on peoples actually skill level. I get that we can all have bad games, but seeing some people's previous games and they have a 10+ death average with 3-4 kill average and barely any assists..... I am going to assume that you get carried the majority of the time. Which can be fine, but what are you really improving about yourself if that is happening every game.
