I do not mind losing, what I do mind is when matchmaking has decided the game before it starts...

I am tired of having Iron, Bronze and Silver mixed into the same queue. Riot a Iron1 and a Silver 4 on the same team do not equate to two Bronze player..

All this ends up with is a Iron1 Vlad Mid vs a Silver 4 Irelia ( who does not even main her) rolling over the vlad mid and snowballing the game.

Going to try an experiment.. Will not let a queue search for more that 1:10 max before I restart it. I want to see if this gets me better games.. my hunch is the longer the queue searches the broader it looks for players..

RIOT fix your matchmaking..

Listen good, I DO NOT CARE IF I HAVE TO WAIT AN ADDITIONAL MINUTE OR TWO FOR A DECENT MATCH.

If that is not loud enough for you... FIX YOUR MATCHMAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man I am gold, I had Iron 2 as my adc. I am main sup in 3 minutes I saw something was wrong. They don't know how to move in the lane, they have 0 experience, of course I lost that game.

I was calling the guy "Iron" because was stressful to play with and in the end I check his profile and... wtf riot. I am not a fucking teacher, do your fucking job ad devs and make sure the player learn something every time they progress..... you know .... BASIC Game Design. (how bad can you be riot? even indie games does this better, sadly their games are short or lack of player for the multiplayers ones).

IS BAD FOR ME, FOR THE IRON, MY TEAM AND FOR THE ENEMY TEAM:

For me: I will get stressed with people that don't how to play where they suppose to know the basics
For the Iron: He does not know the game, he will get sad and will learn nothing
My team: Well... lose without a chance to win sucks! In the beginning of the match they did not understand Why I complained with the adc, but as soon as lane phase was over they could notice too. IS CLEARLY THE DIFFERENCE.
Enemy team: They got the elo but easy wins are boring, you just stomp and end. You do not learn or get better at anything (Player progression... you know)... BASIC GAME DESIGN

again...

BASIC GAME D E S I G N CAN YOU DO IT RIOT?

Weekends are actually abysmal, i've lost 10 straight games in silver flex when i'm almost diamond in under 100 games in solo

the people playing i'm SHOCKED they don't forget to breathe and keel over mid game, there is no higher brain function happening AT ALL in this queue

I don't mind losing. I mind when one of my teammates has decided that we've lost before the match starts.

riots matchmaking is the root of this. say some silver guy goes on a hella big winstreak, so his mmr goes sky high. however, his teammates will be low mmr, thus low ranks/on losing streaks, to balance out the mmr to the enemy team. this is why people get trash players

Except...they do add up. And Iron 1 and Silver 4 aren't really that far apart.

Except no matter what riot does with match making people will come to the forums to complain about how its not fair they got worse team mates then thier opponent.

Every single person in the game is S4. Enemy top lane picks a champ they play at a S1 level. Your top picks a champ they never play and gets crushed.

Run to the forums! F you riot! Fix your damn champion select its not fair my team picks worse champs!

Its easy to blame riot for all the issues but the biggest thing hurting this game is the players. Its a constant stream of players that dont care, give up immediatly, troll or numerous other things riot has no control over.

Except, MMR is a thing, and you apparently don't understand that both an iron 1 and a silver 4 can have bronze 2 MMR.

And considering your matches average on a bronze 2 tier and probably also bronze 2 MMR, it works out.

On my smurfs, I'm silver 1, and average tier is usually gold 2 or 1, my MMR is high there. I get matches with plat 4 people, who have high gold MMR. So then you have a match with high silver and low plat in the same game.

Case in point:

If you want closer matches you're going to have to increase the number of times people get autofilled. And then everyone would be crying about that. "Just have longer queues xD" isn't a solution if you're not playing during peak hours. The stricter you are about role and rank compatibility the more "leftovers" you'll have. If you have new players constantly logging in and expanding the available player pool(like during peak hours) that's not much of a problem. If you don't then you'll have to match those "leftovers" somehow, violating either role or rank compatibility. Just waiting longer won't magically fix the problem.

it does in fact sound like you don't like losing, and are complaining about losing games because you feel they are out of you're control which they aren't

I've been in the lowest of bronze before, I can safely say that All players Silver 4 and below do play quite the same.
