Here's your awesome matchmaking system RIOT!

When you queue as support you know its not going to be an easy climb in ranked. Which is fine. It requires teamwork and communication. However! When you win your first placement game in 15 minutes with an awesome team, then lose the next 7 because you have people that want to leave games, intentionally run it down lane, and completely ignore their support's engage. Thats absolutely absurd. What kind of Matchmaking system is this?

  1. 1/1/4 - Win -Taric
  2. 0/3/4 - Lost - Taric - Caitlyn Quit
  3. 4/9/8 - Lost - Lux - Miss Fortune ignored every Root i hit and kept cancelling her ULT
  4. 2/5/6 - Lost - Nautilus - Caitlyn started flaming immedately in the lobby, continued throughout the game. I said NOTHING to avoid being reported.
  5. 2/7/6 - Lost - Sona - Jarvin kept leaving. Tiwtch placed NO wards, refused to fight when mid rotated over. Picked kills on low hp targets then ran away.
  6. 6/7/6 - Lost - Nautilus - Aurelion Sol Fed, Jhin completely avoided every single team fight after being asked not to by all of us
  7. 5/5/17 - Lost - Taric - Quite possibly the only game here that we lost due to being outplayed. No issues with teammates, We all got along
  8. 2/4/1 - Lost - Jhin died every time i backed. Kept trying to play aggressive vs Morgana and Caitlyn. Declared "Im inting on purpose"

Now IM NOT A FANTASTIC SUPPORT BY ANY MEANS, however, when you have such unbalance with your matchmaking system when its "supposed to keep your W/L rate around 50% is absolutely absurd. When you have to try and solo carry your lane because 6/8 games have an adc thats causing a problem you kind of have to think about the root of the problem. Keep in mind the only thing that i typed between every game here was when I politely asked the Jhin in game 6 to fight with us. Other than that nothing was said.

Seriously what do you expect? Do you think the system is going to know Caitlyn will disconnect? Miss fortune cancels her ultimate or that an Aurelion sole would feed? How do you expect them to implement a system to predict human behaviour yet alone try to understand which side would be favoured outside of winrates which is what you're basically matched with (MMR) And while we're on that topic, how would they determine when to fuck you over?

None of what you listed Riot can control, it's not something THEY matched you with because THEY DON'T TAKE ANY OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

You are welcome to propose literally any other system that works better than what they have right now but seriously have an actual argument against them first lol

So this is something i say to almost everybody who has issues with their teammates. Play to improve and not to win. I know this isnt what you want to hear but listen.

playing to improves means your not gonna care considerably about winning or losing becaue your main focus is to improve and work o your weaknesses. By dping so, winning will become inevitable. Yes your going to have those games where people is going to screw your team over but you can get good enough to be able to win those games 3 out of 5 times rather than losing all 5 of those kinds of games (bs numbers to get the point across).

Here is couple tips:

  1. If you lose 3 games consecutivly, stop playing rank. Go play norms, aram, tft, what ever gamemode that makes you happy and play for fun.

  2. Stick with 1 or 2 support champions. 2 champion incase ur first champ gets either pick, banned, or countered.

  3. Try to duo with someone, in your case find an adc you can syngergize well with so thats one less player you dont have to worry about.

You know why this keeps happening? It's the meme. Lots people just feed and afk 'coz they don't like the meme in a certain match.
