A question about match making after a giant lost of mmr.

So through my many thousands of game of league ive noticed a trend a trend that happens after the first time you go on a tilt streak and mess up your mmr. so in the beginning of the season or the first time you start climbing hard youll mmr will reach much higher then where ur ment to be for me at least ill climb through gold and into low plat and then my mmr will be around plat 3-1 around this time i get really tilted from an event which ever it might be. This year i had strep and lost about 80 games of the 100 i played. But you arive at this losing steak where ur mmr turns from much above were you are to the much below. and this weird trend happens. what i find happens is you'll enter a game being much better then ur lane oppenet beause you climbed ect so you get far ahead and you win. So you win for about 5-8 games in a row just because your crushing it. Then it places you with people who are tilting. Your lanes lose hard i mean really hard if i can show you my match history its like 5,20 at 10 minutes with you have 4 of the kills and one or two of the deaths. obviously most of these are unwinnable but this will happen for 5-8 games and then ur back to teamate who go even or atleast not hard feed. Is this how match making is pose to work. I would like to sumbitt my match history dont know if thats against the rules but yeah its weird 5-8 games of teamates going even to going ahead then 5-8 games of feeding constantly.

  1. Please try to speak in coherent sentences. If you're trying to make a case, presenting it like an adult really helps. This includes proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.

  2. There is no such thing as an "unwinnable game". The game's still winnable until your nexus has fallen.

  3. If you're struggling to climb, maybe you're exactly where you're supposed to be. From the context of your post, you seem to be in the trap of blaming your teammates as opposed to looking at your own mistakes and how you can fix them for the long run.

  4. Here's how the matchmaking system works, from the information Riot has given us: the matchmaking system grabs 5 players for each team, and each team has roughly the same average MMR for its players. Sure, there are probably minor tweaks in there to make sure you don't run into anyone you may have blocked or something like that, but that's most likely a very small minority of your games. Then, at the end of the game, you gain or lose an amount of LP that is correlated to how your personal MMR matches up against the average MMR of the enemy team. If your MMR is roughly equal to the enemy team's MMR, you'll change by an average amount of LP, for this instance, let's say gain 20 for a win and lose 16 for a loss. If your MMR is a good margin lower than the enemy team's average MMR, you'll gain a slightly higher amount of LP, maybe around 21 or 22, and lose slightly less, maybe around 14 or 15. If your MMR is a good margin higher than the enemy team's average, you'll gain a slightly lower amount of LP, maybe around 18 or 19, and lose slightly more on a loss, around 17 or 18. That's it, as far as Riot has told us. There are no "trends". The matchmaking system is not out there to ruin your chances of climbing. If you are truly better than your current tier, if you play enough games, you will eventually climb out, since you're supplanting the system's randomness with your own level of skill.
