Solo Q matchmaking making no sense.

Solo Queue matchmaking makes no sense at all. In most games you're matched up with and against players of your skill level which makes complete sense, but with league you get matched with players in your same "rank". I have a friend in plat that goes through the same problems I do in bronze. You get players who have no idea or understanding of the game as a team game. I play support for the most part and I actually enjoy that role due to being able to make plays happen, but when you have people who don't understand why you throw them a thresh lantern or flash blitz Q the adc with 2 of your teammates with you and they just let the enemy walk away it is frustrating to try and understand why this type of matchmaking system is even in place.

Or your adc taking ignite because it is better than heal in the early game.

the problem with that is that your and your friends as well as almost all of leagues communitys understanding of the game is so bad, they cant even tell who has good or bad understanding.

like, all you do is random and when things work, it didnt work because you played so well but just because an enemy just didnt happen to sit behind the guy you tried to fight and gank you.

like, its not even about making "mistakes" or anything, its about approaching the game in a completely wrong way and absolutely not how its supposed to be played. like, you might think "i gotta become better and make sick plays happen" or something, but infact if you ever make "plays", its you making the best out of a bad situation you got yourself into.

i would just wish that people would stop crying about others not understanding the game and realize that they have to work on their own understanding way way harder. there is a damn good reason you and your friend are low elo.
