ELO hell exists and is not Bonze.
I think i just found ELO hell.
First of all i want to point out that i'm not a blamer, this post is not about a guy complaining because he's stuck on X ELO because of teammates. I play ranked to get better.
Back to the post:
I think there is some sort of bug or problem with matchmaking, at this point i can almost confirm it.
When a player drops mmr, he's matched with lower mmr player (lets call them "worst players").
In a game, 5 v 5, this palyer is matched with worst players and he plays against players between his division and his MMR, which means he's matched against players who are slightly (or not so slightly) better than the player's team. In theory, the player we're talking about, should compensate that, because in theory, he's better. Because he has higher ranking.
I find 2 main problems:
1_ Legue of legends has evolved to a game where is harder every patch to solo carry the game. Even if one whole team is ahead in gold, if the enemy team is smarter, understands better the game, and knows how to move, etc. They'll most likely win anyways. (Someone will get caught, enemy team will know how to defend, "worst" team wont know how to close game out).
So, having one better player against an average of better players, makes a huge advantage for the better average team.(english please)
2_ This player, who is higher in division, has dropped for a reason. He's not as good as he used to be anymore. So he should be treated as his mmr marks. And at this point, i'm sure it doesnt.
Some time ago, i thought it was only mmr that was relevant in the matchmaking of ranked games. But after being in this situation i can assure that division is also taking into acount and its just wrong.
Edit: Playing in this situation (low mmr) has brought me (somehow) afks in games and child-ish mentality in teammates aswell. I cant help but think that its not a coincidence. (english pls)
on my main just because I don't think he is as op as people say he is and around gold it seems like most games (at least that I have been in) the team with
jungle game where I went 17-9-24. But at one point I was like 14-2-16. Literally the worst adc ever... we would even ace their team at 40-45 mins and could not push down one last inhib turret to win.
such a joke of an item.
