Please change your matchmaking formula. Regardless of Elo/MMR, Silver V players should never be matched with Bronze of any tier. Same goes with Gold players matched with Silver. Also, you should make it so that every time you go up a tier, you change groups. This allows for diversity in champion pools and gameplay. I mean, it's really unfortunate that you can be matchmade with a troll, then matchmade again with them the very next game. That just shouldnt happen.
MXXIV3 votes"Dear riot" is useles post title. You're getting -1 for this from me already. Also, I think it should be expected that players with different skills meet.
And there's another point - the more strict the matchmathing formula is, the longer you wait.
As of trolls - well, the system doesn't know who is troll and who is not. And again, preventing same people playing consequent games together would require time and resources.
I'm actually happy for the fact that I often get playing against my former team-mate or that my recent enemy appears in my new team. It's fun :)
Phoneixflare1 votesI'd 100% rather wait longer than be matchmade with trolls like 75% of the games I am in.
MXXIV1 votesWhat if I told you, that someone must get matched with them?
Hirok02 votesElo isn't meant to completely separate players. Its meant to give players more balanced games on average, and to say player x is more skilled then player y. From a matchmaking perspective, it tries to balance elo as closely as possible (all silvers etc) but starts matching outside to avoid long que times. If you eliminate the medal jump, you make que times grow. And then theres the Silv 5 guy playing at Bronze 1 level or the Bronze 1 playing at silver level, etc etc.
If you are matched with a troll and get match with him again the next game, you should already know to dodge.
Phoneixflare1 votesSo you're advocating dodging? Does Riot advocate dodging? Do you know how dumb that is to blame the person who is being trolled rather than offering an option to kick the troll out of the lobby and start another one? It's really stupid that I SHOULD HAVE TO SUFFER AN LP LOSS, TIME PENALTY, AND REQUEUE AGAIN just because I am matchmade with someone who I just played with who I know will troll.
Hirok01 votesI dont even know where to begin... just, no...
Phoneixflare1 votesexplain please.
