Serving Out My Life Sentance
Hey all, I'm not really sure where to start this because there have been variations of this going around for some time. (I've read through as much as I can and there are a tun.) I want to report a bug I've been having got quite a long time actually. I call this bug matchmaking.
I am a Bronze III player, most of the time. That said I am not a bad player. I have a lot of experience and have been playing since late season one; ranked since season three and even fire before league was even a thing. I understand the game, the champions, the roles, items, and the team comps. I have a group of friends that are almost all Gold that get together three times a year at best and I can beet a lot of them one on one and play on par with them in 5v5 games. I am under no allusion that a am a great player and could never see myself competing on any higher level then Gold at best.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that though some people can claw their way out of Bronze, for most of us it is a life sentence.
I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure what is all involved or taken into consideration during the match making prosses, but something is definitely flaud.
I don't know for sure but I feel as though my team is matcjhed my rank wile my opponents are matched to my skill level. I reasoning comes from just about every game my lane wins .ca, trades, and often takes first tower. In fact most games i can shut down the opposing manners causing them to fall behind. Wile I do great in laining my team falls just as far behind if no farther in each of their lanes. Some games I we can pull off a win from roaming and grouping later in the game but most of the time my team seems vastly under skilled. Poor initiation, can't dodge skill shots, chasing, never knowing when to back or roam, not focusing objectives, never warding, new to a champion and thought they'd try it ranked, and a lot of times they are arguing before the game even starts. There was even one two week period about two months back that one or more of my team went afk within the first 5 min.
I don't want to make this too long so I'll just end with this; I have tried everything I can find in blogs and YouTube on how to get out of Bronze shy of starting a new account and leveling up all over again. The best I've got was Silver V though that lasted less than two days.
I can play them all well but my main rolls I like to play are Suppot, Mid, and Jungle. Support I find being the most useful because I can more dirrectly help the ADC get ahead and as long as my team is half way competent I can do this with Jungle as well. The problem remaining that most of the time my team isn't even just ok.
Any advice is welcome but mostly I just want to draw attention to the issue that I know is affecting more than just me. Something needs to be done about match making because this game is no longer fun. Highly addicting but not fun.
