Sooo... teambuilder matchmaking

Thumpin·Oct 18, 2015·3 votes·405 views

Does anyone else have consistent experience with bad teammates vs. players who are clearly on their main role/champion or otherwise just clearly outclass them? Because to me it seems like this is always the case, one way or another. The winning team always crushes the loser, very rarely is it even a fair fight.

I want a game-mode where I can practice new champions without worrying about them being banned, without having to scramble to instalock first, and where I don't have to fight for my role, with and against players of my own skill-level. Is that too much to ask? I honestly feel like ranked is the only way I can experience a good game anymore, since in normals people seem to just dick around without trying to win and the matchmaking is just fucking horrid.

Silver II. Second game as Nunu since Season 2. Got matched against Diamond 1 Lee sin with 300 games under his belt. So much for "adjusted matchmaking"

Chances are, they already are doing their best.

But they most likely put wiggle room into their system to reduce the wait time on games. (unless you want to wait 10 minutes to find 9 other players of the exact same ELO.)

Yeah I've played plenty of games like that today, not that my teammates were bad but rather the opponents were like a league better than us (stomping us in lanes right from the start).

MAybe not enough players are using the mode to allow for balanced matches, and the system stretches players mmr in order to make a game start.

Seems to be the most likely case. I really hope that raked team builder comes out soon.

It has always been wonky, but I kinda like it the way it is tbh. I hope when ranked team builder arrives in the pre season, you will see improvements made to normal teambuilder as well.

I am hoping they will use champion mastery in the formula for normal team builder match making come preseason.

Teambuilder matchmaking hasnt worked properly since its release. The adjustment doesnt do anything as you are still gonna get matched against plat + on their mains when trying a champ first time in that Queue.
