Lets be real, here. MatchMaking System and Honor major issues

Fact: This game has the most negative player base that exists The matchmaking system is a marketing choice where a player is supposed to win 50% of his/her game no matter what. Instead of allowing players that are better to play against and with players that are better, the system makes an approximation as to how much "points" a player is worth (his "mmr"). Its been stated its solely based on w/r ratios... Congratulations, you reinforce the negativity because some players dont stand a chance against their opponent since you cannot control who goes against who.

Fact: The characters are not balanced and will never be. Players enjoy living a power trip once every 10 games (much less if you are actually good at the game), but most players get randomly epic scores because their champions "deal tons of damage". - Phreak. Mark Meryll just understood that this was a good selling point and he wasnt wrong, but now we're sick of everyone's faces due to it. Its just a little point to emphasize the issues here and there.

Fact: The honor system may have improved some people's behavior and I've received countless instant-feedback, but... I also have been issued a penalty because I type too much. I get reported every 3 games at least because someone cant find it in him to understand constructive comments: "May I suggest you build this item instead". I wonder why you guys have removed the honor about being helpful. Its a matter of introduction, but yea. Cant expect that from Americans (majority of NA's servers). And so I will not have my rewards because I have unrightfully been issued a penalty. Great job, riot! Perfect system, here. 85% of my games someone requests players to report someone. Let me know if you think that statistic only applies to platinum and gold players because thats where I stand.

Fact: The general response to this topic will be negative. I believe that the internet is filled with people that are bored, but that doesnt justify going against a legitimate concern. This game is, more than half the time, a real pain in the ass. Sorry for the vocabulary, but ... besides shooters, it doesnt get much worse. The honor system was only another attempt and I am all-in for trying, but the only way to fix an issue is to figure out why people are negative in general.

Certainly doesnt help to remove their rewards when the amount of games played in a short period of time, the frequent attempts to recover in game with leadership being understood as "toxic" because 1-2 players dont even bother reading or that you are with duo/trios that are against you for only 1 mistake whilst they constantly make several mistakes...

Everything think they are right at this game because everyone has had games of 20kills/5deaths/0-15 assists... referrence to Fact#2. I'm sure a lot of players have experienced all of the above, but Id like to hear what you think - if - you have a legitimate point of view. By that I mean: acknowledging what was mentioned before agreeing or standing in opposition.

Thank you for considering all that was written. Sorry no TLDR.
