Like, I get that you want everyone to stay around a 50% winrate... but this is ridiculous. These people I'm being queued with can't even play the game.

And this isn't just one or two games, this is 30 or 40 or more.

Even my games I win, I'm dealing with feeders in every other position.

they dont want you at 50% win rate ... as you climb you are put with people either more skilled or less skilled ( that you need to carry ) to keep climbing and as your mmr goes up and you keep climbing then you are progressively put against stronger compensation til you reach a point where you plateau and this is where you end up with a 50% win rate..

for those of super high elo ... there isnt anything they can face that makes it harder for them so they dont plateau but for every one else bronze -diamond you climb til you do

That's like putting weights on a professional athlete, and increasing the amount of weight the better they play, until eventually they can hardly play at all (thereby making them average or bad). I don't think Riot does that, but if they do, that's absolutely stupid.

ok really simple concept

if you are better then what you face then you win..

therefore you gain mmr and tiers and ranks ( going from bronze to gold)

therefore you now face people at higher rank/mmr (now that you are in gold you arent gonna play against bronze, you are gonna face gold and higher typically ) til you can no longer climb and this is how your mmr dictates your elo/ranking

how is riot gonna know where to put you if they dont constantly put you against harder and harder competition? they does this til you fail to climb and plateau

Lets say you go toplane. Asuming every lane has a 50% chance of winning or losing, you have.

A 25% chance of having a Winning mid and botlane

A 50% chance of having one winning lane and one losing lane.

A 25% chance of having a losing mid and botlane.

Altogether you have a 25% chance of having a "free win" game where your team carries you to victory

A 25% chance of having an "unlucky" game where both lanes lose.

And a whopping 75% chance of having at least one feeder on your team.

That's why we often feel like we have such terrible teamates. In 75% of our games we have at least one.

yet cuz if you play properly you arent the issue on your team therefore its more likely that the other team would have that problem instead of your team

Go look at my history. In 95% of my games, I have at least three, despite doing well myself nearly every game.
