Please FIX matchmaking

STOP this 50% force nonesense. It is so annoying to deal with trolls just because I had a winning streak.

The team difference in skill is mind fucking and simply creates the worst experience. Game after game after you have a winning streak is a pain to deal to a point were I break mentally and become toxic. And I'm not the only one, every RL friend agrees with this, it's what turns this game in a toxic pit.

If the unbalanced games would be intertwined between decent games, the accumulation of frustration would be minimal. I can take a broken match, but when it's game after game where you clearly see at least 2 of your teammates are super outskilled (huge difference), and the sad part is not even their fault, is the game that made them play vs players so much better than them (or me, ofc I get outmatched too)

If it is not giving 50% over time it is not working....by design. A win streak will raise your MMR until you are the weak link. In the short run with a pool of players it is possible that you have the highest MMR in a game....and then to balance the game you will get either tougher opponents or weaker teammates.

Also remember that MMR moves faster than LP. It is very possible that bronze 1 on a win streak will have a similar MMR to a gold 5 at a point in time. The game can't tell the difference between a win streak and actual improved play. It simply adjusts.

Finally, if you want a true balanced match, enter the queue and leave in 10 seconds if a match is not found. The matchmaker starts by looking for 10 people with the same MMR. If not found in a period of time (I don't know the specifics ) it looks for 10 people at your MMR +/- some range and keeps increasing it until it has a game. I am pretty sure that it doesnt factor in your secondary role until a some time has passed and doesnt autofill until an even longer time.
