If you believe in your matchmaking and stand by it, give us complete transparency in game, I don’t wanna look at 3rd party anything.

Show us honor levels, pre mades, individual mmr and average mmr of each team.

Show us your hard work at perfecting this matchmaking systems over a decade or however long you’ve been working on this.

didnt they say doing that would incite toxicity against teammates/opponents?

Even if they did, I doubt it would help you out.

  • Honor level is a non-factor in Matchmaking, since it doesn't relate to a players skill.
  • Premades already get MMR adjustments. You'd argue with whether these MMR adjustments are enough, and the answer to that can vary. In lower ranks, they can be too oppressive, making it harder for friends to climb together than solo.
  • Individual MMR would let you see how big the gap on any team is (aka: which teams are more likely to have/need a hard carry), but the Average MMR of both teams will be very similar for them to be matched together in the first place.

At best, you get all this information and you'd argue "Well, I think it could be better if it did this." - to which you'd be stuck waiting on Riot's reply of why they don't do that. You'd also be more likely to only look at a lopsided game and look at the MMR to find fault with it, rather than looking at a very close game to see if the MMR was what you expect. You'd likely forget in the moment that MMR is a result of all the games a player has played, rather than just the one match you played with them.

That's useless information though. Doesn't help you win games, but can be used against others.

Idk my take on it is, hey our teams were balanced, and we lost. It’s more reassurance from riot that hey we are doing our jobs at making a balanced matchmaking game and here is that evidence. After all, toxicity comes from the players and it is not riots job to be our mommies and daddies
