I'm smart enough to know that ranked matchmaker is being exploited.
And fake "feeder" / "thrower" / "leave your turret to wander for no reason" / "ping moronic shot calls all game long" accounts are being placed on the enemy team (i,e. your team the losing team)
...and thus invalidating Riot's puerile logic, incorrectly applying the law of averages to claim that over time you have an equal chance of getting a troll team.
Now what I don't have, is a method by which this is occurring. Since I don't cheat I can only use reason and logic to try and figure it out.
Theory #1 It would seem on the surface that this would be extremely difficult to do. Bronze Tiers Alone, comprise
369,522 accounts
43% of all ranked players are in this league.
We can safely say that the actual amount of players is half this number if not less. Even so, you are still left with over 150,000 accounts. Of these only a certain percentage are playing at any given time. Furthermore, you only have a chance of being matched with those close to your elo. So perhaps, the cheaters, keep a number of accounts at a given elo. they can send in hundreds of these fake accounts into matchmaker, and just wait for a match to come up with the correct distribution. This would require a lot of time and resources and I can't imagine anyone going through all this trouble without some sort of financial motivation.
Theory #2 Another possibility is perhaps undocumented portions of the Riot Developer API is being used in some manner to guesstimate just enough to where you can get 1 out of say 3 to 4 match get your fake accounts on the enemy team. This would explain the 2-3 dodges you experience prior to getting that troll team. We've all had this over and over again, so you know what I'm talking about here. Again, while anyone could potentially uncover such an exploit, due to the seeming widespread occurrence of this phenomenon, it seems to indicate a larger group have access to this type of cheat.
Anyway those are my thoughts on the matter.
edit: Previously I've posted about a number of Interesting traits of ranked games For example, here is a game about to be trolled and thrown/ (the summoner names in the example are not real)
My Team:
iWILLthrowATend76743 FyoMammaNow777 oiruettyiqeyioqweurfyhqoi88 me GenTsaoChicken999878
Enemy Team:
Victorious One Crimson Commander VerySoftOne SuperMarioBros JohnnyV
This is what a typical team looks like prior to a trolling event. More or less the majority of my games look like this.
So, my theories seem to answer the question of who needs all of these accounts, and for what reason,. as we can safely deduce that a summoner named AssCrack7766 does not have 7,765 Ass Crack's which came before him. Or does he?
