Matchmaking is broken

Omnem Occido··2 votes·181 views

I am so tired of playing significantly better players. I know I am garbage at this game, but it's made extremely worse when I have to play players 5 to 10 rank tiers better than me all the time. Can't I just have a game where I don't feel like hot garbage?

how about you pay attention to what theyre doing to stomp you instead of crying about it

People have been telling Riot that their matchmaking system is a steaming pile of shit even before S1 started, it's really not anything new. From time to time you're just gonna get fucked by it, and sometimes you'll get a free win from it. The difference is that people tend to not notice the free wins because they assume it was them playing well.

When the skill difference is too big you generally aren't able to pull much (if any) useful information to learn from, so this isn't really advise that works as a catch-all with how wildly riot's system pairs people sometimes. It's like telling a middle school football player to get gud after being destroyed by a college football player. Shit just doesn't work that way.

As long as I can see, every game is or a bad stomped, or a free win. That makes almost every game pretty shameful, for who is looking to have a fair match. And it's basically intentional (easy average 50% win ratio).
